Lukman Dental, Lukman, Erick. DMD

I came into Dr Lukman’s Office to inquire about Invisalign. Julie, the receptionist made me feel welcomed right when I walked in. I was seen in a timely manner which is very rare in my past dental offices.
Dr. Lukman was very thorough and concise with his explanation and timeline of this process. He really made the experience easy, quick, and most of all painless.
I would highly recommend anyone who wants to start Invisalign to visit this office.

This review is based on my experience BEFORE being seen. I am not able to give input on the actual care. Like most people, I have great anxiety about going to see the dentist. I had researched and reviewed the reviews here on Unilocal and decided to try out Dr. Lukman. I scheduled my appointment about 3 weeks ago and have been building up my nerve to go. About a week after scheduling my appointment, someone from the office called and said they do not schedule new patients that late (4:30pm). I explained that my son has another appointment across the city and that I will try my best to get there as soon as possible. I also said that she could send me paperwork to my email. The woman i spoke to said that that should be ok and that I could keep the appointment. Today I received a call from another woman (a day before my appointment) who said her colleague should not have scheduled me so late and that I needed to come in at 4pm. Again I explained my situation and said I had this conversation with someone from their office already. I said that I will have to cancel the appointment because I cannot guarantee that I will be there by 4. On top of that, I am thinking in my head, «Why on Earth will I trust a place with my anxiety and my teeth when they are this unorganized!!!» Her response was rude and sarcastic. I wish I remembered what she said. I did say that her response was rude and that this was not my error. Her response? She hung up on me. YEAH… THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR ME! I work in the medical field. I am a supervisor and I know customer service. This facility did not deliver good service.

I needed to see a Dentist to repair a tooth last minute as my primary Dentist was on vacation. Dr. Lukman’s staff were friendly on the phone and found me an appointment right away.
Julia at the Front Desk along with Dr. Lukman and his dental assistant were all incredibly hospitable and were thorough in their explanation of services, cost and insurance policies.
Dr. Lukman fixed my tooth and provided a proper explanation of his analysis and recommended treatment (bonding). The service was flawless and my tooth looked perfect once again both in color and shape.
I would highly recommend Dr. Lukman for dental care as his office is clean, high tech and the service all around was professional and very friendly!

I am so relieved and excited to have finally found somewhere I can have a long term relationship with! I moved to SF going on 5 years ago and have been to several different Dentists in that time. I was always really turned off by the cleanliness, the rushed Dentist and Hygienist who were too busy to care, etc. What a difference here! The staff who checked me in and helped me schedule my appointment were so warm and friendly, and just lovely. The dental hygienist who worked on me before Dr. Lukman was so gentle and sweet — a total gem — and made me feel 100% at ease. Dr. Lukman was a kind, gentle person who took the time to answer my questions and explain everything in detail that he thought I should know about my ongoing dental care. He’s clearly very intelligent and knowledgeable. I could not possibly recommend everyone there more highly, and my partner and I have found a Dentist for life!

Dr. Lukman and his staff are friendly and professional.
Highly recommend!

Dr. Lukman and his staff are incredible. They are very friendly and personable. The offices are clean and private. They take special care to be very gentle and to explain what they are doing. I also really like that at each step they make sure if I am comfortable, need anything and also make a point to give positive feedback. I highly highly recommend them.

You won’t get a better dentist than Dr. Lukman.
I went to his practice for my basic cleaning. Basic cleanings are pretty simple and Dr. Lukman’s staff did a good job. But it was after the cleaning, when Dr. Lukman came in and reviewed the findings with me that I felt most impressed.
I felt that his suggestions on future dental care were practical and worthwhile. With other dentists I have always felt that they are just recommending the most expensive treatments and procedures because they need make payments on their fancy dental equipment. But Dr. Lukman was a dentist I could level with.
Oh, should also mention the convenient location and friendly and efficient staff.

Dr. Lukman and his staff are amazing! I had been looking for a great dentist in the city and finally found one. I highly recommend this dental office.

This place does invisalign well! I am getting married in December and wanted to get my teeth straight. I opted to get invisalign (Dr. Lukman also does braces!) I only needed a few adjustments so mine only took a few months. Now my teeth look great! :D I highly recommend him for invisalign and other dental needs:) I’ve also had some fillings and cleanings done here. His staff is great and if you go here, you will never ever get scared of going to the dentist again!

Dr. Lukman and his staff are great. Very friendly and professional. At Dr. Lukman’s office, they try hard to provide treatment that the insurance can pay for. I haven’t had to pay any out of pocket expenses yet. The use of electronic records to show you what they are seeing is pretty cool, and they provide automated reminders of appointments via email and text. In the waiting room, they have Netflix and don’t mind changing it to something that you’d like to watch. Very customer service oriented.

I’ve been going to Dr Lukman for a few years now and have always had a good experience. His staff is great and he himself has been very helpful and knowledgeable. Plus, he has a system where it sends reminder text messages of an upcoming appointment which is super helpful if you have a busy schedule and most likely forgot the appointment you made 6 months ago. Highly recommend Dr Lukman as your dentist in SF!

Highly recommend Dr. Lukman and his crew. Dr. Lukman is very knowledgeable and explains everything in detail. Plus he does braces and Invisialign.
And if you have insurance (which I never did before), Julie up at the front desk will explain everything!

I had a dental emergency over the weekend (Sunday night) a few weeks ago. I was referred to Dr. Lukman. Dr. Lukman fit me in the following day. He was incredible. Very kind. And I am terrified of going to the dentist. He didn’t make me feel that I had not taken proper care of my teeth. I was in and out in a flash.
I also want to mention the front office. They were awesome and made sure that I was comfortable.
I wish Dr. Lukman was around when I was younger. I wouldn’t have the issues I have today when is comes to my teeth.

Ok. I’m pretty much a dentist’s worst nightmare. I’ve never flossed, rarely brush, and I consume sweets like it’s going out of fashion.
Dr. Lukman is my hero because he’s the only one standing between me and the dark abyss of gingivitis and tooth decay. He’s incredibly skilled at what he does, and has a great sense of humor that puts even the most challenging patients at ease (like yours truly). I referred a couple friends to Dr. Lukman and they love him too.
Will I brush regularly? Probably not. Will I pick up that floss? I’m not even sure what that is. But now I won’t have to worry about adding Fixodent into my shopping list as long as this guy’s got my back.

I have been going to Dr. Lukman for a little over a year now. He used to clean my teeth when he first started off, and thats how I know he has the most gentle-​dentist-​hands on earth. Now, his cute (female) dental hygienist clean my teeth. Btw, she’s awesome too. Going to my dentist, is like getting a gum massage. Now, who doesn’t love that feeling?
Well, if I didn’t already get my braces done 4 years ago, I’d go to Dr. Lukman, ’cause I heard he got his orthodontist license. Poop, I guess I’ll send my children there when I have them, so they can get those complimentary gum massages (a.k.a. cleaning) that I love so much.
Dr. Lukman understands how important my chompers are to me, so he lets me ask a million teeth-​related-​questions during my visit. He’s great with his hands, patient, and kinda cool too. His dental office is in the heart of the mission district, so when i go to the dentist, I also combine it with my grocery shopping trip too.
Anyhow, if you’re looking for a great dentist, I’d recommend checking out Lukman Dental.

Honest and forthright. Erick gives great personalized service. Staff is welcoming. He was able to accommodate my shifting schedule.

I’ve been going to Dr. Lukman for a little over 6 months now, and am incredibly happy with the level and quality of service his office provides. I’ve visited his office 3 times — 2 cleanings, and 1 emergency chipped tooth repair. All have been excellent experiences as a patient. His office uses the newest technology, which makes the experience painless. For example, for X-​rays, they use a digital x-​ray setup, which is faster and more immediate than the traditional film X-​rays. It’s also more comfortable.
His office staff is really helpful and friendly too. I chipped my tooth last month, and the next morning I called and they were able to see my within the hour. I was concerned about how well the tooth could be repaired, but Dr. Lukman did a great job and now I can’t tell where the chip originally was.
If you’re looking for a dentist in the Mission, I’d highly recommend Dr. Lukman. You won’t be disappointed.

I went in for a cleaning with Dr. Lukman and was seen by their hygienist, Alisha. The front desk Julie did a great job of making me feel comfortable and seated me quickly. Alisha was great, she took my X-​rays, did a very thorough exam before the cleaning. She took her time and was very attentive. Dr. Lukman came in afterward for a checkup and off I went. Overall, excellent experience. My teeth feel very clean! Thx again! So glad they have a hygienist on staff! Highly recommended!

I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Lukman because one of my back teeth was extremely sensitive to cold.
The staff was very helpful and efficient from the beginning. Over the phone, Julie was professional and friendly. She gave me a list of dates and times and let me choose the one that was most convenient for me. And on the day before, she called to remind me of my appointment.
When I got to the office, Julie greeted me and after filling out the paperwork, I was taken to a room and seated in a dental chair. Dr. Lukman examined my tooth and quickly discovered that I had a cracked filling (someting another dentist had done for me), and then Dr. Lukman put a new filling in about half an hour.
That was about 2 months ago and I haven’t felt any pain in that tooth since.
Dr. Lukman performs high quality work, and he was very gentle and friendly. My entire experience with him and his staff was great and I’ll be recommending him to all of my friends.
