Dr. Han and his staff are top notch. Our 18 mo recently suffered a dental injury and needed immediate attention. His staff fit us in quickly despite being new patients and he gave us excellent care. We got second opinions from other nearby experts and they all concurred with Dr. Han's treatment course. On top of all that, he was kind and comforting to our little one as well.
His staff is excellent. Beyond compassionately squeezing us in, they have been consummate professionals. Every form is clearly explained and there's always a clear estimate of cost before each visit. Scheduling is easy and the automated reminder system is very convenient. We feel so grateful to have our child in his competent care and to have a physician like him in our neighborhood! He's a Sunset native with excellent credentials and genuine care for his patients.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - C. C.San Francisco, CA563313Oct 23, 2023
We took our 2.5-year-old in for his very first appointment and could not be more pleased! I waited so long to take my son because he is high energy and sensitive (think tantrums) and I didn't want to traumatize him. Well, turns out we had nothing to worry about. The office is inviting, decorated with all of my son's favorite characters. There was a TV overhead in the room and they played Cars for my son bc he was raving at the Lightning McQueen picture on the wall. Dr. Han was patient and really took his time getting to know us and teaching us what we needed to know about toddler dental care. Thankfully (miraculously), my son didn't have any cavities and he predictably cried during the cleaning but Dr. Han was gentle and quick and very reassuring the whole time. We are definitely bringing him and his baby sister back for their next check-ups.

Dr. Han traumatized my 2-yr old daughter. My daughter was looking forward to her first visit to the dentist, but left with a horrible experience. Dr. Han has no patience when it comes to children. He ruthlessly brushed my crying daughter's teeth where gushes of blood was seeping out of her mouth. Me and my wife was shocked and tried to calm our daughter down during the process. Dr. Han refused to have us comfort her and even told us that our voices are getting in the way of him concentrating.
Definitely do not recommend. He is not open to feedbacks and prefers to just cut us out removing us from his patient list.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Rosa S.San Francisco, CA702Jun 16, 2023
We have received care for few years by Dr.Han. Moods are unpredictable, care is not consistent. Lack of patience overall. He yelled at our son , loudly while our son was having anxiety and needed breaks. Yelled. We had to leave mid session because our son could not trust him, charged us anyway and would not take our calls . Special needs parent, stay away. Lack of patience results in child being out under which is over 2 k.

My son did two molars extraction with Dr. Han. This is our second visit and the first time it was my husband brought in my 11 years old & 6 years old. The first appointment was ok, my son just needed a cleaning. However, for my 6 years old daughter, I was suggested by Dr. Han for a general anesthesia for treating her cavities. Dr. Han did not give me a lot of options when I was suggesting a couple appointments treating cavities maybe one side at a time and, but I told making appointments with them is challenging. I respect his professionalism, but I still seek for 2nd opinion, I was able to look for another dentist who were welling to treat my daughter in a couple appointments for her cavities to avoid general anesthesia and also the quote from Dr. Han was around $4000, mind you I have two dental insurances. Finally, my daughter was treated, and everything is ok. I just moved on and didn't really think much about it.
Fast forward for this last appointment, Dr. Han is a very serious dentist, without a friendly smile. He is very straight forward, and not too opened for discussion. I witnessed the whole procedure of my son two molar's extraction in the room., I was pretty disappointed the way he spoke to my son and it was always with authority and attitude. Unlike the other dentist we have worked with. Our appointment was at 4:15pm, and with two molars extraction, I was really concerned if my son would be able to have dinner. (sorry for being such a mum). I have brought it up to Dr. Han and he said it couple times saying he would be fine. I asked if we should do one side at a time and AGAIN, he said we should do it at all once since we were here already. Anyhow, my son was in pain right we got home, I gave him tylenol and he felt better but when dinner came, he could not eat at all. He just could not even he said he was hungry. I am sorry but I am the type of mum who really wants the kids to have at least 3 full meals a day and I know missing one wouldn't hurt but my point is, if I have had brought it up with Dr. Han, he should have a better knowledge and at least tell me maybe he wouldn't be able to eat solid food or maybe having hard time. I honestly feel like Dr. Han care less and he was not opened to my concern. I am sorry we will not be going back. Not to mention I have to take care of all the charges up front and they will do the claim for me after. God knows how long this will take and how much I will get back. They don't have the answer. But this one star isn't anything to do with charges, it's the professionalism I expected, and it certainly did not meet my standard.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Erica K.San Francisco, CA01Aug 23, 2023
Dr Han is a wonderful pediatric dentist and collaborator with orthodontist and other dental professionals. His office makes the children's experience a priority, with clean, bright Well-lit reception and individual offices for privacy and great communication. His team is on top of insurance administration, and they strive to make going there smooth, pleasant and easy. My daughter has been going there for over 10 years and we still are thrilled with the professional service, recommendations and experiences we benefit from in his office.

Dr. Han did an exam and cleaning, but before that took a lot of time with us to go over our routine, the amount of fluoride, and other tips--he had images to show what he meant and took time to explain the "why." Can't recommend him enough!

My kids go to Dr Han and we can't be more happy. All of the staff are kind. Dr Han explains everything that is going to happen, and he clearly cares about his patients. My kids actually want to go to the dentist - I recommend!

My main issue is that (in front of my son) Dr. Han stated that my 8YO son "has the mouth of a 6YO". It seemed to be thoughtless. He said this because my newly 8YO son has lost only one tooth so far. Teeth fall out when they are meant to, and I am not concerned, but I did find this statement to be both ridiculous and rude. Had my son been a more anxious child, hearing this could be problematic.
After finding a cavity in my son's mouth, Dr. Han shamed me for choosing to use fluoride-free toothpaste and stated "cavities are the most prevalent childhood disease in the U.S."
His entire approach was so not-cool, condescending, inappropriate for working with children, and guilt/fear based. No thank you.Helpful 11Thanks 0Love this 12Oh no 1
