Chris E Lindsey, DDS

The only complaint I have is that it’s so gosh darn hard to get an appointment! Dr. Lindsey wants you to improve in the best way, an goes so far to make you happy. He even sends you personalized birthday emails!
Choose this dentist if you want a clean and superb experience– you will not regret it.

Dr. Lindsey is the best. I have been seeing him for 7 years and even when I stopped working in the peninsula, and was living and working in SF, I would drive down to see him. An hour each way. He’s that good.
And its not just Dr. Lindsey but his whole office staff, especially Kristina his office manager, are all awesome. As others have mentioned they have the latest tech, xrays are instantaneous, appointment confirmations come automatically in email, etc. Dr Lindsey really goes out of his way to make sure his patients are comfortable and taken care of. I have finally (after 7 years of commuting down) decided to find a dentist in SF and I will really miss him.

Are all the nice things said about Dr. Lindsey’s office true? Yes, they are. The reason I say «his office» is that it’s not just Dr. Lindsey — he has created a wonderful team of professionals in his office that are just great to work with. As a small business owner, I know how hard it is to build such a cohesive and friendly team. But, they’re not just friendly, they are very competent at what they do. I’ve also never seen a dentist go so far out of his way to make sure his patients are taken care of with outside specialists.
Great, great office. Highly recommended.

I have been going to Chris Lindsey for over 20 years (indicating a bit about both my age and his). Chris is terrific. I could give many examples of the service he has given me and my family over the years, but I’ll just give one. My brother was visiting from out of town one weekend to go to a Giant’s baseball game, and one of his crowns came out. Now mind you, he wasn’t Chris’s patient, but I called Chris’s service and told them about the problem. Chris called me and said he’d come in to fix my brother’s tooth that same day (a Saturday, nonetheless), which he did. What more do I need to say? He’s a real jewel.

Lara P’s comments capture our terrific experience with Dr Lindsey and team. Chris, Steph, and Kristina are the best.
I’ll add the fact that he has a terrific rolodex for specialists to complete your care. The three I’ve visited have met Chris’ standards of excellence. Their collective teamwork has been seamless and consistently great.
His use of current technology has saved us money & time, plus helped us understand treatment alternatives. Example: digital x-​rays were shared with an endodontist Chris recommended for a root canal. Duplicate x-​rays were not needed and the endodontist’s assistant slipped me in between other appts quickly as they could see treatment looked straight forward.
Last, Chris listens carefully to understand your priorities; discusses alternatives and his recommendations in whatever depth you want. He feels like an old-​style, unhurried care giver but with ALL the modern advances.

Dr. Lindsey’s practice is exceptional. Dr. Lindsey dedication to patient care is exemplar. Gentle touch with the needle and drill only add to the comfort I have experience in his staffs care.
Lee is the best Hygenist I have ever had.
I also bery much appreciate the technological advancements of the practice. Gone are the long wait for x-​rays to be developed they click the xrays and the images are instantly on their laptops for viewing. Also making new appointments are done right on the fly in the hygenists office as the calendars are also on their laptops. Also having appointments available as early as 7AM has been such a benefit, as you can get your appointments done and then still be in the office before 9AM for the day.
My only complaint could be that it is sinful for the entire staff to be as perky, good humored and upbeat as they all are at 7AM in the morning. LOL

I left Dr. Lindsey’s practice about 4 years ago so I could use a dentist who took my (lousy) dental insurance. The other doctor recommended THREE crowns and I also discovered that he made up for his discounted rates by charging for small components of a normal service. I called up Dr Lindsey and he looked at the x-​rays and said that one of them seemed to require fairly immediate care, and the others could wait. And he did this consult for free! Since I was already partway through the first crown, I completed it with the other doctor. After that I returned to Dr. L. He and his staff do excellent work in a relaxed environment, and he actually advocates for his patient’s best interest (including financially). No more «saving» money on dentists!

Kudos to Chris Lindsey and his fabulous staff! For those afraid of going to a dentist, this office is the place to be. From Kristina’s warm welcome to Lee’s expert teeth cleanings to Dr. Lindsey’s humorous and gentle care; you will feel very at ease. My family has been going to Dr. Lindsey for almost 20 years and we can’t imagine going to another dentist. Don’t be afraid, call Dr. Lindsey’s office and take care of your teeth.

I am in my fourth decade of life and have never had a cavity. I attribute that success to Dr. Lindsey (and perhaps genetics). I drive all the way down from the city to come here. What’s unique is the involvement of the doctor, even for a regular cleaning. Personal attention, real people.
