GREAT DENTIST. I've never had a cavity, and before I moved to SF I had gone to the same dentist my whole life. My standards for dentists are fairly high. Dr. Rivas far exceeded those standards...

She is by far the best dentist in San Francisco. Can't speak highly enough, and it seems everyone else here agrees. Maybe we should have kept her a secret... it's getting harder to get appointments!
