A great guy and dentist. Quality work done at an affordable price. I recommend this dentist highly.

Dr. Vicino is the absolute best dentist I have ever had! He is super friendly and really goes above and beyond to make you comfortable. I was in his office on my lunchbreak (I’m a Makeup Artist) and he commented on my false lashes and asked how I apply them. Within moments he was handing me a tweezer-​like tool that he felt would help apply false lashes quicker and easier… he was right! I love this tool and I love him for being so thoughtful. The gal who works with him is lovely too. I cannot recommend him enough.

Dr Vicino rocks, especially if you atre scared of denstists like I am. He is gentle, funny and soothing. He doesn’t make you feel guilty when its been a while either. I reocmmend him for anyone.

This doc is the best. Personally I do not like dentists or anyone scraping my teeth. But its something you just got to do.
I have visiting him for over 15 years!
Great Friendly Service

Dr Vicino is a stand-​out Dr. I absolutely know I am getting great care and he always takes the time to be sure I understand everything and I am okay with each procedure. On top of that, he is simply a great guy. He is no B.S. and keeps things comfortable at the same time… He is direct, yet tactful and empathetic. Very rare, indeed.
You will not find better customer service and professionalism anywhere. Whether I have a question about an appointment, treatment or whatever, I walk away feeling confident I am in good hands. You have to experience it to understand.
I had a couple of horrific experiences about 15 years ago, which left me with emergency root canals, crowns and a total shift in how I looked at the practice of dentistry. So, I certainly appreciate finally being at a place where I no longer think twice about how things will go with each visit.

Carmine and Helena are the freaking best!!!

You won’t hate the dentist when you come here! Dr. Vicino is great — he is actually one of the few dentists left that actually works on your teeth instead of his assistants! And he is skilled in his work, friendly, and has sunny little rooms where you can look out on Chestnut St. His office staff is just as friendly. I’d definitely recommend him to people looking for a good dentist in the area.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Vicino since February 2009 (see previous review) and I am still impressed and amazed by his compassion and standards.
Recently I required a crown but alas, last week I was the one who got a defective replacement crown (from the people who made the replacement crown, not Dr. Vicino).
He was SUPER supportive, amazing and just all-​around awesome. He went above and beyond to make my next appointment to «install» the new crown (which was today) a success. I am amazed by his standards and I truly feel that he cares for each patient. He’s a gem!

‘your disgusting head’ by Haggis-​On-​Whey is exactly how i feel about mouths, and saliva, and breath.
so i dont know what just happened, but i *think* i just fell in love with a dentist. he came recommended by two different friends and now i know why. i was literally a clinched ball of nerves coming into this office (my past dental experiences havent been so great) but he was kind, attentive, and gave me the best cleaning i’ve had in over 6 years. after discussing my trepidation, he put me right at ease and got straight to work. i got a hands-​on, tooth-​by-​tooth cleaning from the man himself who didn’t get offended by the condition of my mouth. i mean, i walked out of there kinda feeling like an orbitz commercial — (Dirty Mouth, Clean It Up *TING*) and i’m looking forward to going back in 6 months to show off my new and improved skills in caring for my masticating apparatus. thanks Dr Carmine, for restoring my faith in humanity. i mean dentists. i promise not to fear you next time.
here are some keywords for you: amazing, wonderful, friendly, personal, best dentist

He is the best dentist ever! and he does the teeth cleaning. he is good and fun and entertaining and an amazing amazing dentist. He never tells you that you should get a procedure unless you actually need it. He always gives you all the options and information. And it is the essayist teeth cleaning ever!

Best Dentist I have ever had. Been using Dr. Vicino since my arrival in SF in 2000. Great Service — Fair Prices. My wife and I currently commute from Santa Rosa for our appointments!!! Need I say more???

Dr. Vicino is all around the best!!! I have always had a fear of the dentist but now I enjoy it!!! I even had oral surgery and he didn’t hurt at all! I trust him completely. If you love you teeth then go see Dr. Vicino!

Friendly, local, does a careful job.
I get my check-​ups done, and my fillings too. So far excellent job.

Been going to see Dr. Carmine for a few years now and just love it. He’s a great dentist and very honest about what needs to be done. I’m only usually there twice a year (thankfully), but it’s worth the trip across town for such great and personal service. His staff is awesome too!

I love love love my new dentist. I am not one to go to the dentist on a regular basis as it slips my mind. Alas, as I am getting older I realize one needs to look after their teeth. I read the Unilocal reviews and found that he was in my network and voila. Donna his apt Lady is so kind, as she helped me reschedule my apt like 4 times.
Doc kept me in stitches as he is an SF native and the time flew by. My teeth look grand, and I can’t wait to go back. No pain, no fuss, in and out. Love him, could not want a better dentist!

Carmine is the best dentist in town. The rastaman loves going to him because his has n2O!

Dr. Vicino is everything a great dentist should be. The first thing I did after moving back to San Francisco from a few years back East was to make an appointment with him. He was recommended to me by someone who had overcome dental phobia in his care, and he applies the same careful treatment to every patient he sees. You and your pearly whites deserve this kind of attention!

Carmine’s okay … Bad jokes, but a great Dentist!
Highly recommend and will go back again.
(only kidding about the bad jokes … sort of.)

I followed Unilocalers advice and went to see him. He was great, friendly, and even tried some kind of psychological reasoning with me on why I should floss. Well, whatever he said worked. I’m flossing more than once a year.
Staff is great. Can’t complain with getting your teeth cleaned inside a bay window on a sunny street. I can walk there from home.
I’m sending my boyfriend there with only one tiny warning — Carmine is a talker.
