Dental.me holds 39 dental practice listings for San Bruno. Of those, 24 carry a Google rating and 15 do not; Dental.me does not record why. Nineteen of the 24 sit at 4.8 stars or higher, three between 4.5 and 4.79, one between 4.0 and 4.49 and one below 4.0. The 24 average 4.84 stars with each listing counted once, or 4.69 weighted by reviews; the largest review count in town is on a 4.3. Of the 19 at 4.8 or higher, 11 rest on 14 reviews or fewer. A Google rating is not a measure of clinical quality.

So a high rating rarely separates two rated listings here, and it says nothing about the 15 with no rating. This guide reads what sits behind the ratings: which listings hold the reviews, what the 12 service lists hold and which listings give one address.

Dental.me holds no review text, no review dates, no appointment-availability data and no insurance data, so it cannot say how recent a rating is or what reviewers wrote; the dates are on each office’s Google profile.

How the reviews are spread

The 1,520 reviews are not spread evenly. The six largest counts hold 1,125 of them (74%), and YEO DENTAL CORPORATION (4.3 on 353) and Luisa F Diaz DMD (4.8 on 333) alone hold 686 (45%). Twelve of the 24 rated listings hold 14 reviews or fewer, and only four hold 100 or more. A count shows how far one new review can move the number, not the quality of the care.

All 39 listings have a phone number on file, 38 distinct numbers. Weekly hours are on file for 20 and a website URL for 19, and every one of the 19 is on a rated listing. That records what Dental.me holds, not whether an office has a site, and a URL says nothing about the care. All 39 are on the San Bruno dentist hub, which runs over three pages with four cards marked Featured first, out of Score order, and has no sort control.

How the 24 rated listings break down

Counted by listing and by reviews:

The two below 4.5 are very different records. YEO DENTAL CORPORATION (4.3 on 353) holds the largest count in town, 23% of all the reviews. Mervyn Otsuka (3.7 on 21) is a much smaller one. A lower rating is a reason to read the reviews on Google, not a verdict, and a line at 4.5 would drop the largest record in the directory. Rating and review count do not measure clinical quality, so ask each office what matters to you: its services, your insurance and its hours.

The practices at the top of the Dental.me Score

These six lead the Dental.me Score, built mainly from a practice’s Google rating and the depth of reviews behind it, with a small lift for an office that verifies its listing. Luisa F. Diaz, DMD is first, with a 4.8 on 333 Google reviews, the second-largest count in town after YEO DENTAL CORPORATION’s 353. Lei Luo, D.D.S. and A. Parikh, DDS tie for second, both at 4.9, on 98 and 79 reviews. Besides YEO DENTAL CORPORATION, two listings outside these six hold more reviews than Lei Luo: San Bruno Dental Excellence (4.6, 136) and Christina Chen, DDS, Inc. (4.7, 126).

Twelve San Bruno listings hold a 5.0. Only Kim Xuan Tran, D.D.S. (71 reviews) and Ambus George, DDS (38 reviews) rest on more than 14; ratings on smaller counts can move more with each new review. Pombra Dental Excellence pairs a 4.9 with 74 reviews. Profiles for all of them are on the San Bruno directory.

Dental.me does not record whether any of these six is independently owned or part of a chain. If you want to see the same dentist at every visit, ask each office who you would see.

Several URLs differ from the name on the listing: KIM XUAN TRAN D.D.S., INC. at thodasdds.com, BALDWIN J. HOO, D.D.S. at darwinchandds.com, Arsenio Eligio at allisonperrydmd.com and Mervyn Otsuka at axiadentistry.com. Nobody has confirmed how a listing relates to its URL, so ask the office who would treat you.

Match the office to the work you actually need

Only 11 of the 39 listings are on any of the 12 service lists, and only eight of the 24 rated ones. The other 16 rated listings hold 404 reviews (27%), and they include five of the top eight by Dental.me Score, among them Lei Luo, A Parikh and Ambus George. A list search alone will not show them, so their services are a question for the phone. The count on each list:

The cosmetic dentistry and teeth whitening lists hold the same seven listings, and the orthodontics and Invisalign lists hold the same five. Two of those five are unrated with no URL on file, San Bruno Center for Dental Medicine and Stephanie Chen, and a third is DAVID SHEN DENTAL CORP (5.0 on two). The dental implants list holds five: YEO DENTAL CORPORATION, Luisa F Diaz DMD, San Bruno Dental Excellence, Mervyn Otsuka and John Wayland. The periodontics list also holds five. A place on a list shows what an office lists, not how often it does that work, so ask whether the office does your procedure itself.

Four lists hold one listing or none. The oral surgeon list is John Wayland, unrated with no URL on file. The pediatric list is Luisa F Diaz DMD, the denture list is San Bruno Dental Excellence, and the prosthodontist list is empty. The endodontist list holds three: Luisa F Diaz DMD, Pombra Dental Excellence and San Bruno Center for Dental Medicine. The emergency list holds four: Luisa F Diaz DMD, Christina Chen, Pombra Dental Excellence and Kim Xuan Tran; Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you. Luisa F Diaz DMD is on nine of the 12 lists, Pombra Dental Excellence on seven, and San Bruno Center for Dental Medicine, which is unrated, on six.

Four checks for a San Bruno shortlist

A rating line drawn first removes listings you may need. A line at 4.8 stars keeps one of the five on the implant list and none on the oral surgeon or denture lists, and it drops three of the four largest records. A line at 100 reviews keeps one of the five on each of the orthodontist and Invisalign lists and one of the three on the endodontist list. So read each list whole first, then call to ask about insurance, whether the office takes new patients and who would treat you. Our ranking methodology explains how the Score is built.

Listings that give one address

Three listings give 773 Jenevein Ave: Ambus George DDS (5.0 on 38), Toni Ambus DDS (4.7 on 10) and Robert Micheli, who is unrated. San Bruno Dental Excellence (4.6 on 136) and Vishnu Shankar (5.0 on two) both give 504 Linden Ave, and the Vishnu Shankar URL is on the San Bruno Dental Excellence site. MARIA ESPERANZA LABAO DDS INC (5.0 on 10) and Kam Ho Li, DDS (5.0 on three) give one suite at 1590 El Camino Real. DAVID SHEN DENTAL CORP (5.0 on two) and Stephanie Chen give one suite at 883 Sneath Ln. Christina Chen (4.7 on 126) and San Bruno Center for Dental Medicine both give 750 Kains Ave. San Bruno Dental Care: Dr. Fabiana Melo, DDS (4.9 on 60) and Dr. Hielo Ed DDS give one address and one phone number. Nobody has confirmed how these listings relate, and one street address can hold separate offices, so call before you count them as separate choices.

Six of the 15 unrated listings have a phone number outside the (650) area code, and some unrated listings give an address that reads as residential rather than as an office. Nobody has confirmed either way, so call before you plan a visit.
