Christopher A Patterson, DMD

Dr Patterson is as good as it gets. He’s gentle, patient, and knows his stuff. I’ve been going to him for over a year and ½ after leaving my dentist in the east bay of 10 years. I was hesitant to try someone new, and he has been nothing but amazing. He even does his own cleanings! Thank you Dr Patterson.

I absolutely love Dr.Patterson. Not only is he incredibly talented he is an incredibly sensitive and careful dentist. I have recommended him to all my friends and colleagues. Best dentist I have ever gone to. He has a great sense of style too!

Just moved and had to find a new dentist. Dr. Patterson is great! Very informative on some services I was interested in and my teeth are so smooth and clean now. My mouth is sparkling! Thank you so much.

In an age full of overbooked and hurried practitioners, Dr. Patterson refreshingly stands out from the rest by taking the time to thoroughly and completely answer all his patient questions, fully understanding the patient’s dental issues and working together to create a dental strategy that is right for you. Instead of just saying «you need this and this and this», Dr. Patterson explains what’s going on inside your mouth, what he suggests and why, and is very accommodating to what you want to do. Instead of just telling me that I have cavities and need to get them filled, he showed me the x-​rays, drew me a diagram and really educated me about my options.
I’ve had several cleanings, a few fillings done and one crown. I don’t have dental insurance, but Dr. Patterson was able to work with me and my budget. They have a crown-​making machine in the downtown office, so it was just one single appointment to go in and get a crown which was extremely convenient, because with many offices, a crown will take at least two appointments.
The downtown location is just steps away from Union Square, which is great if you work downtown, ride a bike, walk or motorcycle. However as everyone knows, parking your car and driving in traffic around Union Square can be a bit of a pain sometimes.

Dr. Patterson was awesome! I had two cavities replaced at 9am on a Thursday and made it to an 11am meeting the same day without anyone even noticing. He’s extremely gentle, precise, and explains everything as he goes. This is exactly what anyone could want in a Dentist, he’s quick and efficient. The office staff is also super friendly!
I’ll be back again for sure!
