EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. How many of you have gone to the same dentist for 25 years? It is rare that you find any medical provider/vendor that you stick with for that long. Well, Dr. Yankee and her team are absolutely incredible and will take great care of you and your teeth throughout all stages of your life. Of course she takes care of everyone in my family now. But I like most is they are about cleaning and caretaking, but also will help you have such a beautiful smile no matter what it takes. Shine ✨ on!Always Biking2025-02-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Yankie is knowledgeable, welcoming, and very calming. Her staff are the same.

Just ask yourself … how many denist have I been to in my lifetime. If you’re like me it comes close to 25. Teeth cleaned / cavity’s filled year after year. And always the dread of the return visit. Until now this was my path . Then the heavens opened and showed me the way to Dr. Yankie and her team. Her office is so well organized and her staff so attentive I feel like I’m at a high in spa. And Dr. Yankee's knowledge and attention to details puts all my worries to rest. Excellent in a thousand ways !Leonie Deramus2025-02-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Yankie is the best ! Thorough, skilled and caring.

I was visiting the bay Area and had a lovely me at a cute restaurant in Mill Valley when, with my luck, I accidentally bit into a cherry pit and cracked a tooth. I was fortunate to find Dr. Yanke's office through a referral, and I'm so glad I did! She was incredibly professional and made a same-day crown for me, taking care of everything with such ease and efficiency. I couldn't have asked for better.Kai Goddard2024-01-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot thank Dr. Frances Yankie and her team enough for repairing my tooth, rejuvenating my smile and lifting my spirits. There simply aren’t enough words. Attentive, calming, supremely professional, creative, confident and a true artisan of her craft come to mind, yet still fall short of how I really feel. I would recommend her many many times over. Thank you Frances … thank you so much.Paul Eastburn2023-11-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Yankie and her team have taken care of all of my dental needs for decades and today I unfortunately got to see them shine. I needed a tooth extracted, and with their expertise I was in and out in a very short amount of time (about an hour in all), and I experienced no discomfort to speak of. As always, I found the doctor to be professional yet friendly, and very thoughtful in terms of diagnosing my situation and weighing the options. From low-emission x-rays to AI powered diagnostic tools, the office is full of state-of-the-art dental technology, but I was soothed by the majestic redwood trees out my window, neutral color scheme of the walls, and classical music (baroque) playing lightly on the house sound system. If I had to loose a tooth, this was the best place to be. During the procedure, the doctor and assistant were gently checking that I was ok, and afterwards I was given thorough information regarding how to proceed during my healing stages. I feel confident in their work and am already feeling great, only 5 hours after having my tooth extracted! Thanks Dr. Yankie and team!Michael Cronin2022-11-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience. Dr. Yankie is super nice and explained everything thoroughly from the condition of my teeth to after care regimen. She dialed me in with a whitening and my teeth haven't looked better. Both her and the assistant Brian were gentle. For the first time I am looking forward to going back to the dentist which is an odd feeling.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

EXCELLENTVerified Call me old fashioned, but I would dread going to the dentist. It's not so much the pain and discomfort from having one's pearly whites scraped, chiseled, picked and drilled upon - but more the combination of that and having one's purse completely drained at the same time. Dental health costs seem to have entered the stratosphere lately and my insurer has turned benefit-claim denial into a blood sport. What's a smart girl to do? Dental hygiene, maintenance and the occasional repair is something that can't be ignored. For me, doing so immediately summons the Gods of Peril! So there I was, last year, like all those years before, visiting my dentist, in the all-to-familiar position of lying back, fully submitting, sucking it up, and opening my mouth - and purse - wide. And then, while gurgling on a saliva vacuum and attempting to visualize J-Lo and Tay-Tay giving me a private in-home concert (my usual go-to when I'm feeling completely out of control of a situation), I had an epiphany! I realized that if I'm to be paying this months yacht lease for my dentist - then I better freaking well like my dentist! Like a lot! Amiright? And the thing was, I didn't really like my dentist. That's not to say he was a bad dentist - he was good. Possibly very good. It was just that here he was, climbing into my mouth, staring deep past my tonsils, and I kind of felt a bit abused. I felt like I was a number - a line item. A feeling reinforced by him getting my name wrong as he left my chair on the way to another patient in an adjacent room, leaving me to clean up a puddle of drool on my new summer frock. I realized that the whole practice was a bit too 'factory' and devoid of warmth. I realized that it shouldn't have to be this way. So, I made the decision to break up with my dentist of over a decade - and begin the search for someone that I'd feel more comfortable with. Now look, I'm not expecting my dentist to be all chummy, full of smiles, chatter and pleasantries - that too, can easily rub a girl the wrong way. But I do expect my dentist to be empathic to my situation as a patient. I also really appreciate a dentist (and a doctor too, for that matter) to properly explain what's going on as if I were an adult -- a peer -- and not as if I were a nine year old. I tried another dentist here in MV and realized quickly that I had just traded the pan for the fire. I was beginning to wonder if I was the problem. Perhaps expecting too much. Or maybe I was the difficult patient and deserving only of merciless dentists consigning me to a lifetime of countless anxiety-ridden never-ending sessions where my only solace was in counting the perforations on their ceiling tiles as they ground upon me, literally, while I laid back in their articulating chairs. Shudder. But then, thankfully, by chance, I found my way to Frances Yankie. As soon as I entered her practice on Miller Avenue I knew that I'd found the right place. Established on the ground floor of an old Victorian homestead, it felt more like I was sitting in her living room. The other patients in wait were noticeably more at ease in this environ - myself included. The staff were not the usual wooden and stiff animitrons and Stepford Wives that I'd become so used to -- their enthusiasm and friendliness actually felt genuine. And Dr. Frances Yankie herself -- she made it seem as if I were her friend. A friend is not an attribute I was necessarily seeking in a dentist -- but that is how she made me feel. It's hard to explain what a game changer that was for me. My anxieties and dread just vanished. I really felt like I was in good hands. Hands that I could trust. We are all very lucky to live in a zip code that offers best-of-breed in most things -- including dentistry. There's probably not a truly bad dentist here. The value that Dr Frances Yankie offers over and above the other excellent dentists that provide service in our town is hard to quantify. But for me, it's the feeling of ease, an environment that makes me feel safe, heard, appreciated and respected all while knowing that I'm getting excellent dental care -- that's priceless.Kai G.2024-01-23Verified I cannot thank Dr. Frances Yankie and her team enough for repairing my tooth, rejuvenating my smile and lifting my spirits.

I'm a terrible grinder and of course had to break off a front tooth while away from home. I thought I was going to walk around with my front tooth like this until I got back but called a couple of places and finally was met by a friendly voice, Vanessa. She got me in today! Long story short, I'm whole again. Dr. Yankie did a beautiful job on my front tooth and I only wish this office was closer to me. My appointment was easy from start to finish, I knew what was happening, knew what I needed to pay and that was that. Thank you for taking care of me on such short notice, everyone was so nice and professional. She has so many other services there too, catch you on my next trip into town! :)Mike N.2023-11-14Verified Had a great dental visit last week with Dr.Yankie and her staff. They are so professional and thorough. I would give her 10 stars if possible. On top of the excellent cleaning, I had Invisalign done and my teeth are absolutely perfect. Thank you Dr. Yankie...Jeff C.2023-10-05Verified I have been so consistently impressed by Dr Yankie and her staff right from the beginning. I am most of the way through my Invisalign treatment and I can't believe I'm say this - but I actually look forward to going to the dentist. The staff is cheerful, efficient, helpful and kind. Dr Yankie always goes above and beyond to make sure I'm happy with the work.Joanne S.2023-05-09Verified Dr. Yankie and her staff are fantastic! Everyone in the office is very friendly and highly professional. Dr. Yankie is truly caring and has very high standards (exactly what I want in my dentist). Minimal to no wait time at appointments. Besides the usual dental care, I've also done invisalign and I am very happy with the result. I highly recommend Dr. Yankie and her team!Michael C.2022-11-03Verified Great experience.
