I am seeing Dr. Yankie for Invisalign to straighten my teeth. I love that she said that she's kind of an "Invisalign nerd" at our first appointment . It turns out she kind of is and has lots of certifications to back that up. Besides that , she and her staff are very courteous and efficient. Excellent!Posted on GoogleCheryl HaleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are so lucky to have Dr. Yankie!

I came to her with severe dental problems and a feeling of despair. Her skill, thoroughness, kind and warm nature, rescued me and gave me a chance to look and feel so much better. The level of care from everyone in the office is so renewing and reassuring. You can tell you’re in good hands.Posted on GoogleAdam NevilleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Yankie is an amazing dentist!

Best Dentist in Marin. Great cleaning and service. I wouldn’t go anywhere else and highly recommend Dr.Yankie and her team for your dental needs!!Posted on GoogleHarriet OdenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The People’s Dental Palace. Doctor Frances Yankie enjoys horse archery, gathers her team in a phenomenal dental practice, and designs an exquisite refuge for us. Even her rest room fills us with quiet joy in the simple beauty of a softly burning candle. I go in with broken crowns and come out in deep peace. Thank you❣️Posted on GoogleMarianne DoarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family and I have been lucky enough to be loyal patients of Dr. Frances Yankie’s dental practice for more than 20 years. Not only is Dr. Yankie extremely well-educated, knowledgeable and professional, but she also manages a dental office staff who are just as competent, efficient, compassionate and patient as she is in making sure her patients understand how to best take care of their dental health.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.Posted on YelpKai G.Verified 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.Posted on YelpCoco O.Verified I thought it was worth mentioning here that I am in town, visiting family in Mill Valley. 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! :)Posted on YelpMike N.Verified 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...Posted on YelpJeff C.Verified 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.Posted on YelpJoanne S.Verified 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!Posted on YelpMichael C.Verified 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.Posted on YelpAntony G.Verified Love the consistency on the quality service dr Yankee does she and her staff are amazing, had not been back to a dentist for several years because of COVID, I recently went back and service was amazing like always. Highly recommend dr Yankee for any dental work.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
