Dentistry By Design of Marin

Fantastic, professional dental care. Dr. Raj, Kathy, and the rest of the team manage to make dental health… dare I say enjoyable? In addition to their great attitude and competent care, they go out of their way to meet their patients’ needs. I had a noon appointment and needed to be on an important conference call at 1pm. They shifted up the schedule to have Dr. Raj look at me first, and then do the cleaning, so that every minute was optimized. I ended early enough to get to my call without stressing, and they even sent me on my way with a bottle of water for the road. Great service!

Too often people think they work in a vacuum and wonder if anyone really notices the little things they do. To take the time to write this review should tell you something. I felt I HAD to do this, because of the incredible experience Raj Anand and his staff have made for my family. I am just a dad whose son moved to Marin recently and was in need of some extensive dental work because of years of basic neglect. Some good friends of ours recommended Dr. Anand and told me that he was simply the best. Now come on, could anyone live up to that? He spent considerable time with our son, recognized the importance in this case to build a trusting relationship first. How many dentists would do that? He called me, explained in detail the plan. His office staff helped coordinate several long distance issues, and consistently treated my son with the kind of care and concern that is commendable. Last night, Dr. Anand called me AFTER his work day on his drive home to discuss my son’s situation. Today, he called again AFTER some lengthy dental work. Dr. Anand’s personal approach represents the personification of the ideal doctor. I will be encouraging him to not only be our son’s dentist, but would now like Dr. Anand to go back to med school so he could be our internist, dermatologist, general practitioner, and if it wouldn’t be too much for him, perhaps our accountant as well. My point is obvious… I could not be more grateful or impressed and I wish everyone would have his work ethic and care. To his entire office staff as well, I am very appreciative for what you have done for all of us. I could not write a stronger recommendation for any doctor.

I am now a patient of Dr Anands I most say he is the coolest Dentist I have meet! He made sure I was perfectly comfortable before I started my route canal. The dental assistant who helped him sorry I don’t know the name she was super awesome also. The office as a home feeling. They have bottled waters cold in the refrigerator if you’re thirsty when you come in and also a kind of coffee espresso machine very fancy office. The whole staff is super
makes going to get your teeth worked on a fun experience. I would highly recommend this dental office.

I never imagined I would ever give a dentist 5 stars but this place definitely deserves it. I made an appointment for a routine cleaning and checkup with Dr. Raj after my boyfriend recommended him. When I arrived there Kathy the Dental Hygienist greeted me and took me to the back to start with my cleaning. She was so friendly and sweet, but most importantly extremely gentle the whole time! After she was done with me she brought me over to Dr. Raj who was also very nice and extremely informative during my examination.
The office setting was beautiful and relaxing with a wonderful waiting room stocked with goodies for those who are waiting to be picked up.
Overall I am very pleased with my experience and for once, looking forward to my followup appointment. If you are looking for a great dentist then look no further!

The cleanest, most up-​to-​date dental experience in Marin County! Staff is very professional and friendly. Dental work is outstanding. Caring and kind.

Being over 50 years old I have lived in a lot of states and towns. This also included many dentists, by far this office is light years beyond the rest.
Professional, friendly to the point of being like family, very picky about being clean and thorough. They are always training thier staff, even the front desk staff are wonderful. And here is an oxymoron, they have chocolate and espresso.
With the great cleanings I rarely have any issues and those I do are due to old work from others. Really, I have learned so much from the staff that I generally just get cleanings and strangely enough love coming in to have it done.

I can not say enough good things about this place! In 2010 we moved from NJ to Novato and I needed a root canal right away, I was referred to Dentistry by Design by my son’s Orthodontist and Dr. Raj Annand did my root canal. I’ve had 10 root canals and 3 re-​treated root canals in the past 30 years, so I know the routine and they are never fun. Dr. Raj was super gentle, compassionate and his main concern was that I was comfortable and relaxed. It sounds like an oxymoron, but it was the best root canal I’ve ever had. Now in 2012 I’m having more complications with past dental work (from my childhood) and Dr. Raj had to do a 4 hour procedure that consisted of another root canal re-​treat as well as remove two permanent caps, remove decay and replace the caps. (I know… it sucks to be me!) Dr. Raj, again was so kind, so gentle, so compassionate. He called me the day before my procedure to make sure I was okay and called me the same day of my procedure to see how I was doing. Because I was a little freaked out about this procedure he gave me a light sedative and that was tremendous! The reception staff is wonderful, thorough and welcoming, and Dr. Rosenthal, like Dr. Raj is kind, compassionate, gentle and reassuring.
It is unfortunate that I have terrible genes when it comes to my teeth (though I am very thankful for my health) But I have found a dental office that exceeds my expectations when it comes to treatment, compassion, wisdom, technology and bedside manners! If you are in need of a dentist or if you have anxiety about dental treatment I implore you to book an appt. with Dentistry by Design of Marin… they are exceptional!

They are the most lovely team of people ever!!! :-) Dr Anand is wonderful and I never feel like he tries to push unnecessary procedures on me. Kathy, the hygienist, is so amazingly sweet and personable — my only regret is to not be able to chat more with her while she’s cleaning my teeth! And the receptionists are super cute, adorable, always in a good mood. You can really feel that this group of people respect and appreciate each other as well as their customers. I’ve never had a bad experience there. Love them!!! :-)

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Rosenthal for more than 25 years, and have nothing but good things to say about him, Dr. Anand and the rest of the staff. They are professional, compassionate and very fair. So, I think it’s very unfair that Kimberly would make such false statements about the doctors and the staff. I have a lot of allergies to just about everything, and I feel very safe and comfortable when under their treatment. Maybe the woman with all the psychotic problems needs to make an appointment with a shrink and not a dentist.

This office makes going to the Dentist a fun task, if you can believe that. Prior to becoming a patient of Dr. Anand’s I dredded going to the dentist. Now, I almost can’t wait to make an appointment. The people are incredibly friendly and get to know you on a personal level. The office is very clean and classy. My appointments have never ran over an hour even getting a cavity filled (knock on wood). And Dr. Anand is the nicest most caring person. But my FAVVVVorite part of the visit, the goodbag :) At the end of each visit you get a goodybag full of fun teeth toys, a buncha different kinds of floss, toothbrushes, trident gum, chapstick, ect.
I strongly recommend this office to anyone searching for a new dentist.

Dr. Anand is a GREAT DENTIST!!! I completely trust him and even though I am moving away from Novato, I will still make the drive to see him! He as recommended to me by a friend and I have since recommended him to sooo many people! Staff is super friendly, Offices are beautiful and comfortable, and the location is easy to find, with a parking lot adjacent.
