Jamison M Gate, DDS

When I go here didn’t seem like much I was kinda worried at 1^st. Then I met Dr. Gate he is a cool guy. Just him in his office but the set up was clean, cozy and welcoming. He checked me out very carefully, was gentle, professional and took his time to explain everything to me about his advice on my future dential work. I love his location and his prices were great. I will def be back and I would highly recommend him if you looking in the Sausalito area. Thanks Dr. Gate

The guy is great. Just the way my visit to the dentist should be!

I recently moved to the bay area and was looking for a long term dentist. I found him. Dr. Gates was really thorough and I walked out feeling like he really cares and is not trying to up sell me on a slew of services I do not need. I recommend going here.
Thank you Dr. Gates for ending my search for a reputable dentist.

Dr. Gate is the best! I have been going to him for 15 years. He is thorough and not willing to sell you more work than you need to. You in and out very quickly for it is only him and no receptionist and other workers. Love him!

Dr Gate is not only a very skilled dentist but he truly cares about his patients. I had some dental emergency over a holiday weekend and had to call Dr Gate. He responded right away and was able to help me out. Within the hour I was able to pick up some pain medication at the pharmacy so that I could get through the weekend and he also rearranged his busy schedule to see me first thing in the morning that Tuesday. Dr Gate does all the work himself and only what is necessary at a very reasonable rates and I never had to wait more than 5 minutes before my appointment, Amazing !!!
Dr Gate is very attentive to his clients needs, let’s you know what to expect and, as a bonus, you get to learn a bit of geography while is working on your mouth as you stare at the world map on the ceiling !

Needed to find a new dentist. and could not be happier…
He is so skilled. I would highly recommend him. Beside from him personally doing your cleanings, he is as painless and skilled at taking care of the cavities and fillings, but also a great cosmetic dentist. My front four teeth were so crooked and looked awful. With me asking him about it, a plan was put in place, and he was able to take care of it. My smile is now beautiful. and at an amazing price.
I am letting everyone in on my new best dentist experience.

I really like Dr. Gates. He is very thorough, does push a lot of unnecessary procedures and he is not outrageously priced. It was a little drive to Sausalito from SF, but it’s beautiful over there so it’s worth it.
There is plenty of parking right out front so that when you take into account trying to park in SF, the timing is about the same and you get to drive over the golden gate!
He also showed me what I wasn’t doing well so I can keep my teeth healthier between visits.

WOW. Dr. Gate is an amazing dentist. Appreciated the fact he (thoroughly) cleaned my teeth. My bar is set high as my dad, brother, and sister-​in-​law are dentists. Thank you Dr. Gate.

Best dentist — have been going to Dr Gate for over 10 years & highly recommend him. Gentle, efficient, always professional and reasonable fees.

Like most people, I hate going to the dentist. The bigger problem is that I hated MY dentist… so much that I put off going and then all of a sudden it had been two and a half years! Luckily with Unilocal you don’t have to go in anywhere blind these days. I called Dr. Gates office and was able to get an appt the same week. The receptionist works from his second office down south, but she was lovely and very quick to respond to my message. His office is nothing fancy, just a one man show (no hygenist or receptionist) but that was fine by me. He ran on time and got me through xrays and cleaning in a half hour. He politely told me the my areas of development, but didn’t scold me for being a bad flosser and putting off my regualar visit. I WILL be going back in 6 months, no question.
Also, super easy parking which never hurts!

Dr. Gate is exactly as the other 5-​star reviewers have described! Kind, gentle, reasonable, works with your insurance so you don’t have to deal with the billing… If you are at all afraid of goin to the dentist, Dr. Gate is perfect for you. If you have no fear, he’s still perfect for you! :)

Like many, I never really liked going to the dentist. I would have minor freak outs as they work in my mouth and think about the tools digging into my gums. Though I must say, Dr. Gate was the most gentle and quick cleaning I have ever had. I left the office feeling clean, fresh and happy. And not sore, bleeding, and edgy. So my many thanks go out to Dr. Gate for having a skilled and gentle hand, and if I weren’t moving 2500 miles away, you bet I would see him again in 6 months! I highly recommend him for any of your dental needs.

I’ve been visiting Dr. Gate for nearly 10 years. As others have described, he’s a «one man show», and that’s what makes him so special. He’s super skilled at what he does, he understands how to navigate the insurance red-​tape, and there are no lengthy waits before your appointment.
Dr. Gate is worth the extra drive (if that’s what it takes) and I guarantee that after your first visit, you will write the next 5-​star review for your newly-​found dentist on Unilocal

Charming, affable, disarming, and kind… oh yeah and totally skilled. It’s just him in a small office… no huge waiting area with people all over the place. He’s just a mellow, friendly, talented Dentist. Awesome guy. And my teeth are sparkly white. Yay. Cheers.

Dr. Gate ANSWERS HIS OWN PHONE! I love that. I also love that he does not try to sell you tooth whitening procedures or insist that you get $ 3k worth of dental work done ASAP when it can wait or be done over time.

Dr. gate is great! My first appointment was a breeze, he’s friendly, professional & offers sage advice.

This is a great dentist. Friendly, professional, efficient, gentle. Like most people, I hate going to the dentist, but I highly recommend this one!

Lets be honest, no one likes to go to the dentist. I’ve had my fair share of dental work over the years, and have a well established relationship with my dentist back East. So, when I found myself in Marin, in desperate need of a dentist, I had no idea where to turn… so I turned to Unilocal.
I am very pleased with the care and attention that I have received from Dr. Gate. He listens well, explains exactly what he’s doing and has been straightforward about what I can expect.
As previous people have posted, he is no frills. Personally, I don’t want a dentist who has a fancy video-​graphic office or fancy color ads. My dentist’s advertising should be in my smile.
Thanks Dr. Gate!

I’ve been going to Dr. Gate for going on five years now. I appreciate his professionalism and the great attention he gives to assessing the health of my teeth and mouth. It’s a very minimalist office, with Dr. Gate taking care of everything. But that’s even all the more reason to give him my highest recommendation.

I have bounced from dentist to dentist here in Marin. I don’t need to bond with my dentist, I just need to feel that I am not being taken advantage of. So many I tried ended by offering some silly service that cost thousands once they determined my teeth are good and no other income would come to them from my mouth. Dr Gate was very different. His office is totally no frills, but its clean and quiet. The equipment seems pretty up to date, and he definitely knows what he is doing. The cleaning was through and comfortable, x-​rays were taken, but just a few, nothing over the top. He suggested I replace a cracked filling, but didn’t rush me to do it. When I came to get it replaced he didn’t even need to use novacaine saying it wasn’t needed and indeed, it was not. I am terrified of fillings, but this was so easy, over in a few minutes, and to top it all off, I thought the cost was quite reasonable.
You can keep your fancy downtown dentists with massage chairs and koi ponds… Ill stick with Dr Gate!
