Ghina Morad, DMD

Dr. Morad is passionate about the dental health of her patients. She keeps up to date on the latest procedures and developments in her profession; more importantly, this knowledge translates to up-​to-​date care for her patients. I have found Dr. Morad warm, friendly and sensitive. She knows we patients have busy lives and «don’t live for our teeth»…however, she is excellent motivator for encouraging patients like myself to keep dental health a priority. Her staff is friendly and well-​organized.

I saw Dr. Morad today for the first time, and am so thankful that she was recommended to me by a friend. When I walked into the office, I was greeted by the very friendly and capable Kristel who took my paperwork and checked me in. She had already walked me through the new patient paperwork and helped me to request my old dental records. I felt like I was in good hands. During my very short wait to see Dr. Morad, I was struck by the coziness and comfort of the office which was well decorated and had water, coffee, and snacks for waiting patients. (my last dentist’s office was quite sterile by comparision which is one of the reasons I was looking for a new dentist) I am anxious by nature but was quickly put at ease by the comfortable office, Kristel, and Dr Morad who is extremely warm and reassuring. And more importantly, she is extremely competent and professional, taking charge of my severe jaw pain and making me a new nti mouthguard, and explaining areas of potential concern and creating a game plan. I am so happy to have found such a wonderful new dentist.

Family atmosphere yet at the same time very professional. Painless and expedient yet respectful and thorough. I wouldn’t waste my tme looking for someone better, there probably isn’t anyone!

We are so so happy to have found her! Dr. Morad is not only knowledgable, but also kind and really concerned about her patients. My husband and I are just thrilled knowing we found a great professional! In addition, the staff is excellent. Very professional and friendly

We recently moved and were searching for a new dentist in the area. Dr. Morad had good reviews on Unilocal and decided to schedule an appointment. My first interaction with her office was with Kristel and she was very friendly, accommodating, and efficient in communicating with me and scheduling our appointments. On our first visit we were greeted warmly and got to meet the staff. Dr. Morad was not only sweet and genuinely nice, but she was also very professional and explained everything in detail. The facilities are small but the equipment and technology they use are great. They billed my insurance and sent me a statement detailing what was and wasn’t covered. Overall, it was a great experience. I’ve returned a few times already and my teeth are really happy.

I’ve have had awful experiences with dentists all my life. From the fear, the pain and the lectures I’ve received, it’s not a place I like to visit. Although a trip to Dr. Morad’s office wouldn’t be as high up on my list as, let’s say, happy hour (!), I do not for a second fear going and have never felt pain from my appointments. Dr. Morad has filled cavities, replaced fillings and corrected botched root canals for me. She is kind, gentle and sympathetic. Her staff is also amazing and friendly. 6^th star rating for nitrous oxide, sedation pills and the ability to watch a movie during lengthy procedures!

10 years ago I visited Dr. Morad with tooth pain. It had been embarrassingly long since I’d been to a dentist and I needed a fair bit of work. She fixed all my issues, and looking back I’m very happy with the results. Since then I’ve had no further cavities or teeth problems, and she helped me monitor a missing tooth to assess if we needed to do implants (she ultimately recommended against). For the last many years my visits have only been to have my teeth cleaned.
For a while now my Dental Hygienist has been Debbie, and I’m really happy with her work. She is knowledgeable and highly skilled with her tools, being both gentle and thorough at the same time. She has a way with her customers that makes me want to do my own upkeep while not making me feel guilty for lapses. She’s just really good at her job!
Thank you Dr. Morad and Debbie for making going to the dentist something I no longer fret, but somewhat enjoy!

Dr. Morad came to my rescue, I was flossing and my crown and came out Friday night, I called her on her cell that evening and she came in the next day Sat and fixed it. That’s dedication to a client.

We moved to San Carlos a year ago — time to find a new dentist.
Went in for a visit this morning. Turned out to be a fantastic experience. Here are some of the reasons:
1) Easy to get to, easy to find parking.
2) All of the staff I encountered are friendly.
3) After taking a complete set of x-​rays, Dr. Morad came in and spent quite a bit of time going over my dental health, brushing habits, and reviewing the x-​rays. She is nice, friendly and educational — I learned a ton.
4) She has all the latest technologies that makes the discussion valuable and on-​point by using high-​res digital photos inside my mouth.
5) She pointed out areas that I need to ‘keep an eye’ on and let me know what warning signs would be.
6) She didn’t just tell me to brush and floss. She used various models to show me effects.
7) I didn’t feel like Dr. Morad did a drive-​by while her staff did all the work. Quality time with my dentist.
Feeling very happy to have found Dr. Morad as my new dentist. Highly recommend.

Finally, a few words about her orthodontics:
Twenty-​two months ago, at the age of 68, I (we) decided my teeth needed some straightening. I had the «Grand Tetons» look, with an abundance of perfect landing spots for all sorts of food particles. In April of 2013, Dr. Morad installed my porcelain braces. To be honest, having braces at my age, and perhaps any age, requires dedication, determination, and tough mindedness. It’s not an easy process. There are times when you feel some discomfort and frustration (pressure, wire poke, irritation, etc). But, throughout this process, Dr. Morad knew what she was doing. By adding, adjusting, tightening, and replacing pieces, her plan was working. In the end, of course, I was happy to have my braces removed but, I was also quite pleased with the results (see photo). The quality of her work is superb. She knows orthodontics and I would enthusiastically recommend her for any of your dental needs.

Dr. Ghina Morad has been my dentist for about 15 years. Nearing my 6^th decade in life, I can say she is the best dentist I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a few. Why you might ask? For these reasons:
1. Outcomes are important to her. She is a perfectionist and meticulous in her work. I love her attention to detail. It makes me feel cared for and in capable hands.
2. Dr. Morad loves the science and art of dentistry and consistently strives to bring her patients the best in clinical application. I like having a dentist who offers me the best and most updated technology.
3. Dr. Morad sets dental goals with me and together we work toward those goals. I also love that she explains the rationale with treatments and all the options, so that I get to choose the best for me from an informed place.
4. Her referrals to other dental practitioners, such as endodonist and periodontist are exceptional. I’ve had root canals and dental implants and the doctors she refers me to for these procedures are top notch.
5. While Dr. Morad is the most excellent, highest standard of care dentist, she also has the best chair-​side manner. She has a contagious laugh, warm smile, big big heart and lovely spirit. I love her!
6. Dr. Morad’s office staff is also top notch. Her team is very professional, caring, respectful, and their follow through is meticulous.

Knowledgeable, skilled, sincere and compassionate. What more can you ask for in a dentist? I’ve had many dentists in the past, but none that I felt was more concerned about my, and my family’s, health and well-​being as Dr. Morad.

We love Dr. Morad! She is probably the most cheerful person that I have ever met — always, always, always, smiling and happy. Seriously, it’s a gift, I have gone in with a bad mood and have come out smiling. How many people can say that about a visit to the dentist? Also, she is a top notch dentist and orthodontist. I originally visited her as a regular dentist but then found out that she did Ortho as well. Both my daughter and myself went to her for braces and we couldn’t be more pleased with her work. She is very concerned with her patients being comfortable and pain free. This also makes her especially good with kids and my daughter is now unafraid of dentist appointments. Great front desk person and staff too!

Dr. Morad is as good as it gets!
Her commitment to ongoing advanced procedure education provides a higher level of expertise not often found, combined with the state of the art equipment also provides patients with all levels of dental care needs expert options at reasonable pricing.
Dr. Morad’s and the staff’s warm personalities make you feel they have been your neighborhood dental office for years. She educates without guilt, motivating her patients to accomplish their dental goals. She manages complex dental issues with painless ease. I have been a patient for several years and have previously seen many dentists, none I have ever looked forward to seeing other than Dr. Morad!!‘
I highly recommend her. You will not regret choosing Dr. Morad as your dentist!

Nothing strikes fear into my heart more than the sound of a dentist drill-​I always felt that I would rather be forced to watch a Twilight movIe *shudder* or run a marathon through a field of bramble bushes, and yes, I equate all those things to be equally painful.
So me actually enjoying visits to Dr. Morad’s office really says something.
Dr. Morad is the most attentive and sweet natured dentist I have had the pleasure of being a patient of. She is thorough, informative, and professional, and makes you feel well taken care of in her office. I have even had issues with my TMJ where I needed to e-​mail her outside of an appointment, and she was prompt in her reply and extremely helpful. It’s no surprise that she was voted the best dentist in the Bay Area. She truly is gifted in her profession.

I stopped going to this dentist shortly after my 2^nd visit. I really like her and really wanted to like the practice, but the billing nightmare has made me change my rating from a 5 star to a 2 star. Although I realize it is ultimately my responsibility to know which dentists are in my network I trusted they knew what they were talking about, however they did not and I was slapped with an almost $ 700 bill. Not money I just have waiting around. After several attempts of trying to pay the bill through monthly payments (which either went unanswered or the payments were never taken from my bank) I receive a pre-​collections notice almost a year after my last correspondence. The whole thing is beyond frustrating at this point and honestly I just want clean healthy teeth, I really don’t need state of the art cutting edge equipment just something that works and is affordable.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Morad since she started practicing at this location. I have had a number of dentists over the years, and she’s the best best I’ve ever had. She is technically excellent, she keeps current with the latest treatments, and is really outstanding at explaining different options available. My experience with her office staff has truly been superior — friendly, attentive, efficient and professional.
Mind you — I am a ‘nervous nellie’ with dental procedures, leftovers from some traumatic childhood dental experiences. Dr. Morad and staff have been very accomodating. I’ve had routine and cosmetic work done by Dr. Morad and I’ve been very pleased with the results. She has called me after dinner when I’ve had particularly big procedures, and tonight I had a veneer fall off, and she took me in after her last patient so I didn’t have to wait the weekend to get in.
I have to say, I was stunned to see any negative review here on Unilocal,but I gotta say, that is more a function of Unilocal than a reflection on Dr. Morad. Unilocal is full of reviews written by folks who ambush providers. Apparently some reviewers feel they can write negative reviews without raising their issue or concern like an adult. (My kitchen contractor had the same problem — some flakey client stopped paying as promised, then wrote a negative review here on Unilocal.Give me a break…)
If you are looking for a great dentist AND a great staff that WILL work with you, by all means, schedule an appointment with Dr. Morad.

Dr Morad is truly a professional dental specialist.
I had an emergency need to have a broken filling done to my molar, and Dr Morad’s office was so accommodating. They squeezed me in their busy schedule and I was just too thankful.
But most importantly, Dr Morad was patient and fully explain every step of the way. She will tell me the options and likely outcomes of her procedures, then fill me in throughout the whole process, making me feel assured. Some dentist will just jump into what they want to do and tell you AFTER event, but this is never the case with Dr. Morad. You are kept well informed and it is so important.
Her clinic is super clean, organized and very well equipped with the latest of equipment and gadgets. I love the scope-​like cameras where I get to see exactly what the problems with my teeth are, whilst being explained to me treatment methods.
Being pregnant and unsure what procedures/​drugs can and cannot be used, you can trust Dr Morad. She explains everything to you in a way that any lay person can understand. She is experienced and very skilled with her craft. I was totally amazed how quickly she managed to get me fixed up. Instead of a temporary/​sticky-​tape solution, Dr Morad managed to find ways to properly «repair» my teeth in a permanent manner.
I am grateful that I now have an excellent family dentist in my own neighbourhood!

Dr Morad is a special Dentist.
I have been going to her for a few years now, and I am *quite* happy. I started going to her when she was in my network, and we did a few fillings, as well as a root canal. She is always very nice and gentle, makes sure I’m plenty numbed up, and explains what she’s doing when she does it. If you prefer to just come in and zone out either via watching a movie on her little virtual eyeglasses, or just listening to your ipod, you can do that too. She always has a smile on her face, and you can tell she truly cares about her patients.
Now finding a dentist who you can trust, who has a steady hand, and will always take care of you with a sincere smile on her face isn’t easy to do. However… shortly after changing companies where I work, I realized that she was no longer in my network. Dr. Morad is all of these things I’ve described and more. So in network or out of network, I consider her not only my best option, but my only option, and she keeps my smile as handsome as possible :)

I have been a patient of Dr Morad’s for about 4 years and the past dentists I’ve seen defintely don’t live up to her standards. She has a friendly receptionist that is always efficient. She also has a great dental assistant so if you’re having a cavity filled, the procedure is a lot faster. The hygenist in the office is great too.
I’ve had a lot of cavities and Dr Morad fills them the fastest! I wouldn’t say I’m exactly terrified of going to the dentist, but I am definitely scared a little because I’ve had so many painful experiences with past dentists. Dr Morad always takes her time and makes sure I’m actually numb before putting the drill to my teeth. She’s also very funny and fun to talk to.
My mom and sister also see Dr Morad and love her. My sister had two vaneers done on her front teeth and they look great! You can’t even tell she had any work done. I’ve almost had all of my metal fillings replaced with the white-​type of filling (don’t know the name) and they look great. I can finally laugh without people seeing all the metal in my mouth. :)
