Gabor Richard, DDS

I am simply heartbroken yet happy for my dentist of 26 years. I can’t imagine life without Yvonne and Dr. Gabor. Congratulations on your retirement, well deserved. Hip hip hooray. Hip hip hooray. God bless you and your family. Happy retirement, Sir!

Richard Gabor has been my dentist since 1987. I have less than perfect teeth, so I am there fairly often and visits to their office are some of my favorite experiences. Yes, I enjoy and look forward to seeing them. BUT just now we opened a letter telling us he is retiring and I have to say that my tear glands are working a little. This is a loss to all his patients. I hope that his hygienist Trish stays on with the fellow who is replacing Richard. I hope for the best for Richard and his family.

My entire family including young kids have been seeing Dr. Gabor for a few years. The experience is very pleasant and he and his staff have focused on wellcare v. simply looking for cavities (which has been my experience in the past).
He was also great with our kids’ first visits and they actually get excited to pass his office when we drive by. Not a reaction one expects by a child to the dentist :)

Love Dr Gabor been going here for years and I must say he is Awesome. Very personable and always has little jokes that you cant help but to laugh cause they are actually funny and his wife who is the receptionist is super friendly. They do great work and i highly recommend.

The best dentist ever! was referred by my aunty and now my whole family goes here! they are professional, honest and funny. I love getting my teeth worked on doctor Gabor is so funny. And he is so wise he gives great advise too. It feels like family when you go here. I dont know what i would do with out Dr. Gabor and staff they are all great. So dont waste your time you search ends here. Enjoy!

Dr. Gabor and staff are the best! I actually enjoy going to the dentist office now :)

Dr. Gabor has been my dentist since I was 11. I am 37 now. So, this says so much! He is wonderful, so is his entire staff. Like another reviewer mentioned, Dr. Gabor does not go looking for trouble and he doesn’t push for procedures that are really unnecessary. He is fantastic and I feel completely safe in his hands.
There was a short period of time when I had a different insurance and could not see Dr. Gabor. What a horrible time this was! I was sent to a «butcher» dentist that I still shiver at thinking of the pain I was in when I was under this person’s care.
But, luckily I was able to go back to Dr. Gabor and all is right in the world now.

I moved to the bay area about a year ago from Southern CA and was in search of a good dentist. I was referred by a coworker who had been going to Dr. Gabor for the last 15 years. So I booked an Appointment in which they got me in within a weeks time. Once it came time for my appointment everything was perfect, I arrived filled out the normal new paper work, they took me back gave me X-​rays and a full exam. Dr. Gabor informed me of any work I need done and we schduled an appointment for a cleaning. Overall everything was great! I’m so happy I found an honest dentist in the Bay Area!

I was referred to Dr. Gabor several tears ago by a co-​worker. I have always been very happy with his service.
I like to say «Dr. Gabor is not looking for trouble». By this, I mean that he has never pushed for additional marginal procedures to increase his revenue. He efficiently takes care of business, and his fees are very reasonable.
I had tended to avoid dental care in the past due to fear of pain, but I find Dr. Gabor to be very gentle. A now send my three daughters to see him regularly, as well as having refered several freinds to him.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Gabor since about 1995. Wow, has it really been almost 15 years?! I have been unlucky enough to have bad teeth genetics. Add to that fact that I am getting old (see above) and I am so glad to have Dr. Gabor who I trust wholeheartedly with my teeth.
He was recommended to me by two friends and since I have been seeing him, I have referred at least half a dozen people to him. I have had clean checkups, I have had fillings and I have had root canals. I have never once had a problem with his work.
One time, I had to go back for the same problem several times because Dr. Gabor did not want to cap my tooth. He tried to save it because he believes in preserving the natural teeth as long as possible. I wonder if I were seeing him sooner if I would have the two caps that I got from my previous dentist who seemed so quick to go there. At the time I was frustrated to return several times within a few weeks, but looking back on it… I only have one set of teeth and it does seem to be the right thing to be cautious with them!
He has been available to me in emergencies and he is always very fair with his billing, in the aforementioned case, he treated it as the same issue and I was never charged more than once for it. He is also the only dentist I have ever seen that actually hangs out with you the whole time you are in your appointment… he doesn’t see 4 patients at once, he numbs you and chats you up while you wait and is very patient and funny. He is also gentle. I have never had him pinch or poke in ways that seemed above or beyond what he has had to do.
I really couldn’t recommend him more highly and this is why my husband, kids and friends all see him now.

I was surprised to read the earlier opinion about Dr Gabor. I’ve been going to him for years and have referred others to him who have never reported the sort of bad experience as reported by n.s.
One reason I followed him from his earlier practice was an experience where, in a group practice, other dentists would come in and ask his opinion on what I assume were tricky issues.
He’s always been thorough and competent. My own experience is that I’ve never had a problem with any of his work. It would have been helpful to know what Dr Gabor’s reaction was to n.s.‘s complaints, whether he offered to fix things at no charge or just blew the complaint off.
Anyway, just a balancing data point.

He is very nice and charming but —- I had to have every single filling in my mouth redone because all of the fillings he did were done improperly — the filling did not hug the tooth. i also had numerous fillings «fall out» — this is why i got a 2^nd and 3^rd opinion and both dentists informed me that i had to redo every filling in my mouth.
