Baldwin Louie & Patricia Louie, DDS

This is an outstanding dental practice with staff that are professional and friendly. Dr. Patti and Dr. Louie are phenomenal! They are thorough and take their time to put you at ease with the procedure. It was the first time I’ve come across digital X-​rays at a dentistry and it helped diagnose my problems more accurately. Being new to this über expensive city, they were affordable and provided me a great dental experience. This is definitely a go to place for my teeth.

I have had the pleasure of having both dentist help clean my teeth and both Dr. Louie’s are extremely nice and made my teeth feel nice, smooth and shiny! I would say after I switched over to them I was able to have my teeth feel healthier and they also give great tips to keeping your teeth clean. I also love that they give you warnings of things happening in your mouth that you should consider even if it is small details. I would say this is the go to place for my teeth.

Dr. Patricia Louie is a fantastic dentist. No judgement, constructive, concise and thorough.
I have had 5 different dentists in my life. In hindsight, unfortunately all of them were aggressive the way they performed even simple treatments like cleaning or fillings. So I was very afraid of seeing one when I got older. Sad to say I never knew the difference or understood how much better a patient could be treated. I thought that was the status quo.
Dr. Louie walked me through what needed to be done and explained to me everything I needed to know. She was patient, calm and thorough. And my treatment was more affective.

It was my first stop at Baldwin Louie DDS INC. I had some stones/​rocks (tar problem developing) broke on my lower frontal teeth. it was very uncomfortable. and I was recommended by Robert Phuong Ho, another dentist in the area, to Patti Louie. She is an amazing dentist, like a artist with the tool she uses. In about…15 to 20 mins she remove the rocks very nicely. I will come back and do further check-​ups after the semester is over.
Thank you again, and i highly recommend this place.

I have been seeing Dr. Patti Louie for two years now. Dr. Louie initially helped me out with an emergency (broke a tooth that ended up needing a crown), but now I go every 6 months for my check-​ups and cleanings. She also takes the time to explain what treatment is needed and why which I appreciate. The staff is nice, they have digital x-​rays, and the prices are affordable. Also a plus that the office is open some Saturdays. My co-​workers have also started going to this dental office and they agree with me. We’re all very satisfied.

I wasn’t a fan of the environment — it was old and dirty, some of the drill cables were frayed. Dr. Louie was very friendly and the digital xray machine was very cool but I’m looking for a cleaner office.

A couple years ago I moved into the city from the east bay. While I loved my dentist in the east bay I needed a dentist that was closer to my new place. After researching online and talking to people I decided to make an appointment at the office of doctors Baldwin and Patricia Louie.
During my first visit I was a bit anxious as can be expected. But, my nerves were quickly calmed by the friendly front desk staff. They were not only extremely friendly, but also very knowledgeable. During that visit Dr. Baldwin Louie conducted my cleaning. He was just as friendly as his front office staff. What I really appreciated was his chair side manner. He took the time to explain what he noticed as well as the different options I could pursue. I left that visit fully confident that I had found the right dental office for me.
Over the past couple years I’ve had the pleasure of being seen by both Dr. Baldwin Louie and Dr. Patricia Louie. I feel completely comfortable seeing both of them. Whether my appointment is for a new set of digital x-​rays or cleaning I always feel welcome in the office. For me not only is the location great, but the office is also open on Saturdays so I don’t have to miss work for an appointment. If you’re looking for a dentist I highly recommend the Louies.

Recently went to see Dr. Patricia Louie and was super satisfied with the cosmetic look of the front tooth cap/​filling she created! It looks better now than it has ever looked in past 10 years after I had been trying out a new dentist every 2 – 3 years… So happy to have FINALLY found such a talented, professional, and nice dentist!

I’m definitely a fan of this practice! As a kid I went to Dr. Baldwin Louie and now as an adult, I take my family here. My husband, daughter and I typically see Dr. Patricia Louie but both dentists are great so if she’s not available during our preferred times, we don’t mind going to Dr. Baldwin Louie.
Few things worth mentioning:
— Took my daughter to Dr. Patricia Louie for her first checkup at age 2. She loved it. Really! What 2 year old loves going to the dentist? Dr. Patricia Louie made her feel comfortable and was super patient with her. Now my daughter looks forward to the dentist because she knows she’ll get a balloon at the end of the cleaning.
— The staff is wonderful. Everyone is really friendly, welcoming and accommodating.
— They are open on some Saturdays. These appointments do get booked fast but I try to schedule my appointments in advance so I can get the date I need. It’s a wonderful option to know I could go on a Saturday if I really needed to.
— The cleanings themselves are great and I like that they have high tech equipment where they can see your x-​ray right after you’ve taken it. I feel that both dentists use their knowledge wisely and give good advice on what’s going on with my teeth.
Overall, I trust both of these dentists (which is hard to come by nowadays) and would recommend this practice to family and friends! (which I have… my mom, cousins, uncles, aunts, etc. come here too!)

Been been using this practice for almost 10 years.
I went from Senior Louie to Jr Louie. As others have said, the practice is a Father Daughter business.
The office staff is great, I didnt have my completed insurance info once and they went through the trouble and contacted the insurance for me.
Dr Baldwin Louie is more of the conversationalist while he is working on your mouth. Dr Patricia Louie is fairly young but she is very thorough.
All in all, very professional and courtesy service.

I came for a cleaning based on the reviews here. I was pleased. For me the important thing about going to the dentist, or any place health related, is professionalism. I’m not looking for great chit-​chat or whatever else, but quality and warmth. I also appreciated the fact that this is a father and daughter run practice — a true dentist family. I was taken care of by Dr. Patricia Louie who was clear, and non-​alarming in telling me what is good and not so good about the health of my teeth. After I felt confident that she gave me the right assessment and the right prescriptions for the next steps, without the fear of getting taken to the cleaners in terms of fees and costs. I paid cash and found it fair.

Found my new dentist! Dr. Patricia Louie was wonderful. Thorough but quick. The appointment was painless and easy. She knew her stuff and was easy to talk to.

What a great experience!
This was my first time at this office and I met with Dr. Patricia Louie. She was very thorough, explained things as she went through each process of checking and cleaning my teeth. She also made sure to point out any areas of concern.
She really put me at ease and I appreciated her taking the time to also answer any questions I had.
Would definitely recommend based on my experience today.

Dr. Baldwin Louie and Dr. Patty Louie provide excellent dental service for me and my wife. They are good at what they do and consistent in quality and thoroughness.
Coming out, you know your teeth are clean because (1) they showed you what they accomplished (you can see the quality), (2) they used the right tools for the right job (3) they completed their work on-​time and (4) they tell you what you need to improve on with your brush stokes. It’s like getting a good haircut or finishing a great meal — you leave the front door feeling good and right.
Let’s not forget Mrs. Louie and the rest of the office team as they are kind, professional and diligent in making your experience relatively smooth — which is what you want from your dentist office as they handle the paperwork with ease without errors.
The office is clean, good sized waiting room with a fish tank, several ‘dentist’ chairs so you don’t feel crammed.
Dr. Baldwin is a big Cal sports fan so if you want to learn about Cal sports history or trivia — he’s the right guy.
Also — Saturday appts is pretty awesome as you can schedule your weekend accordingly.

Can’t recommend Dr. Louie, Dr. Louie, & their staff enough.
I was in a tight place a couple years ago, needing a lot of dental work without insurance. They were very reasonable, personable, and Dr. Balwdin Louie one time even did a minor procedure for free, understanding of my situation.
Then when I finally did get Dental insurance, I had to go out of the city to find a decent place that took it and sadly I could not patronize this practice anymore. But thankfully now I’m back on a PPO they accept, and can’t wait to come back!
They’re nice, reasonable, open a couple Saturday’s a month (AWESOME!) and definitely a solid place to go in a city full of sketchy/​meh dentists.

Dr. Patty Louie is phenomenal! She did an extremely thorough job cleaning my teeth, examining for retraction of my gums, explaining the x-​ray results, and going over proper flossing and mouth rinses with me.
They have a computer in the room which displays the x-​rays, which is neat.
The staff is also polite. The best part is that they have late evening appointments, which fit my work schedule. Their 1 – 2 Sat. appts. per month go quickly, but that’s another convenient option.
I had been putting off getting my wisdom teeth pulled for years– Dr. Louie gives warranted advice without making you feel guilty and without being pushy. She kindly gave me a referral, too (though that dentist didn’t work with my insurance).
Overall great experience!

Dr. Patricia Louie is awesome. She is super nice, caring, competent and not to sound creepy, very pretty too. The office is clean and the staff is nice. My other favorite part of seeing them is afterwards I can go out on Clement street and get some tasty Vietnamese food.
If you’re looking for a dentist in San Francisco or the Inner Richmond I strongly recommend you check out Dr. Louie’s office.

Going to see Dr. Patricia Louie makes you not dread going to the dentist! She is really professional and does an exceptionally thorough job. You can tell that she really cares about her patients and their teeth and helps make you feel as comfortable as possible … and doesn’t make you feel bad that you sometimes don’t floss everyday!
I would recommend this office to anyone seeking a new dentist. The whole office is very friendly and in a nice location.

I visit SF pretty frequently since I used to live there and my entire life is there.
I happened to be in town one weekend and in the middle of biting into a pizza I was greeted by a sharp pain in my back tooth. How could this be happening? I still had 4 days left on my trip and there was no way I was going to NOT EAT in my favorite city.
I immediately saw that Dr. Louie had raving reviews so I immediately called for an emergency visit. Dr. Louie took me in later that day, by the time I got there I mentally prepared for the whole oral experience, let’s admit it, no one likes going to the dentist.
Dr. Louie is so sweet! He calmed me down, and found that a cavity was the culprit and that he would fill and all should be well. It was quick, painless, and I was out the door 1.5 hours later. I was almost in a daze because it was all so effortless, did I really just leave the dentist right now???
Check Dr. Louie out, he’s precise, gentle and gets you out on your way. Thank you Dr. Louie for saving my vacation!

I rarely write reviews. But EVERY time after leaving a visit with Dr. Baldwin Louie, I always feel like I need to let everyone know how AWESOME of a dentist he is.
He’s really easy going, fast, and wont make unnecessary suggestions for procedures.
I’ve been going to to him since high school, and now that I’ve actually moved to New York, I actually still decided to keep him as my dentist.
He’s that good.
