Victoria C Kirkpatrick,DDS

I found Dr Kirkpatrick after being priced out by my «celebrity» dentist and I feel her work is as good, if not better than my former dentist. She is great at explaining what’s going on in your mouth and has a great personality to boot.

Got a toothache over the weekend, and was in the market for a new dentist. I asked around the office, and a colleague told me about Dr. Kirkpatrick; he’d been going to her for over 20 years, and highly recommended her.
I called her that morning, and sensing my pain, offered to see me that afternoon. She was very accommodating, and sympathetic, but not in a patronizing way. She looked me over, and finally came to a conclusion it may be a cracked tooth. She told me that more exploration would be needed by an endontist, and referred me to one, and even called him up (after 5:00 pm) to set up my appointment for the next day.
Her practice isn’t one of those flashy dental offices you’d find around Union Square, but I felt like she will be my dentist for future visits.
I couldn’t recommend her more!

I had had bad experiences with previous dentists who would leave me in pain and not give me the full story with any teeth problems. But with Dr Kirkpatrick, I always am confident I won’t have a bad experience. She is particularly careful to make sure I’m not feeling pain and will give me extra anesthesia if needed. Also able to fit me in when I need urgent assistance.

Dr. Kirkpatrick is great. I had my first visit with her, and she spent a lot of time telling me about my teeth and how I can continue to take care of them. She wasn’t rushing around like you see in other dentist offices. It was by far the best patient care I have had in a long time.
She also wasn’t trying to upsell me on anything. She noticed things about my teeth, and was very frank about when I would need work, and when I don’t need work.
I also paid out of pocket for this visit since I do not have dental insurance. Her rates were fairly reasonable, and definitely better than others when I comparison shopped with some other dentists.
Her office isn’t very high tech; I don’t think they have all those marketing systems that other offices have, but those marketing systems usually contribute more to the dentists’ profit versus the patient’s well-​being, so I’m not worried about this at all.

I visited Dr. Kirkpatrick for several years. Unfortunately in 2007 I had to switch to a different insurance. I am now on new insurance and called up today for an appointment. Using Unilocal to find the office number, I am compelled to add my positive rating. Both her and the office staff are exceptional! Treatments were always done well, I was referred to specialists appropriately and overall have never had a better dentist. Her location is very convenient and although I do not work downtown anymore, it is still only a few blocks from Bart.

Dr. Kirkpatrick has been my dentist since the late 80s. The only time I had another dentist was when I changed jobs and briefly had different coverage. I returned to Vicky as soon as our new coverage allowed.
I’ve got really sensitive teeth and Vicky has patiently worked with me through every procedure to make it as painless as possible. After hearing some of the horror stories from friends, family and other Unilocalers, I guess I’ve been pretty lucky.
Anyway to sum up, for general dentistry, Vicky Kirkpatrick is absolutely the best!

Having lived all over the country, I’ve had a number of dentists over the years. I had my share of horrible experiences.
There’s the heavy-​handed dentist — the kind who grinds his or her hands & various instruments into the corners of your mouth or (worse!) against your lower lip as they mash into your teeth.
There’s the trickster. He’s found this dire issue that every other dentist you’ve ever seen somehow missed, and will (surprise!) cost you a small fortune to correct — but don’t worry, he takes Visa.
There’s the speedster who barely glances at you, your teeth, or your x-​rays and practically shoves you out of the chair as the next patient is scooting in.
Dr. Kirkpatrick is none of these things. She has a light, delicate touch yet is incredibly thorough and skillful. She is kind, considerate, helpful, and honest. She will never mislead or sell you a treatment or service you don’t need. Do yourself a favor and make her your dentist.

I love Dr. Kirkpatrick. She is caring and attentive. She takes your teeth seriously and she is a dentist far above being a business. I would definitely recommend her to a friend.

Professional, polite and punctual. She is also painless to your mouth and your wallet. She listens to your concerns and gives you news you can use for better dental health. She doesn’t try to sell you anything or push you into having unnecessary procedures. Thanks to her, I don’t dread my dental visits.
I park over in the Sutter Stockton garage, head out the Bush side and after a mere two block walk, I am there.
I would go out of my way to keep her as my dentist, but I don’t have to.

I had a had a few bad experiences looking for a dentist in SF, when someone recommended Dr. Victoria Kirkpatrick. The previous dentist I had seen said that I needed 14 fillings, when I’d never even had more than one cavity before! Victoria took one look and said it was more like 2 or 3. Her prices are very reasonable and better yet you can trust her opinion. She does the cleaning herself and has always been very gentle. She is informative without laying any guilt trips about how to take care of your teeth. She is a total gem! the best!

Looking for a dentist? Look no further, because I’ve got your gal.
Dr. Kirkpatrick was referred to me by one of my student’s parents when I was talking about my frustration with finding a reliable dentist. Her family has been going to her for years and she couldn’t have been more complimentary. My previous dentist seemed fine until she referred me to a periodontist for (unneeded) deep gum cleaning.
I recently went to Dr. Kirkpatrick for a cleaning and she couldn’t have been more informative and honest. She has a rare combination of having a great «chairside» manner and being incredibly thorough and informative.
