Vincent M Jue, DDS

Been coming here ever since I was a little kid. They have a nice and friendly staff. My only complaint really is that half the time when I set up an appointment time and date with them they normally call me a few days before and try to reschedule the time

I have been a patient of Dr. Jue and now his daughters for a very long time. I started going to them when I was 5 and had a mouthful of cavities. I’ve stuck with them through extractions for braces, a crown needed in my 30s because of a pita chip, went back to them even when friends and family referred me to their favorite dentists in more convenient locations for me.
I trust them to take care of my teeth but not recommend procedures that are not absolutely needed. I like their careful and measured approach.
I recommend them highly because now that I am older, I see that the work they have done has held up over the decades.

Betty the front desk manager is great. She is one of the nicest person I’ve ever spoken to. I appreciate her calling me to sort out the confusion. 5 stars to Betty.

I would like to refer to another review I read about Dr Jue’s office. This person said she noticed Betty recommending 4 month cleanings to everyone. I can say that’s not true. My whole family goes to see Dr. Jue (all 3 of them), and we’ve been going here for over 30 years! They always help me watch the wallet and never recommend something that’s not covered OR wasn’t necessary. I love this place so much that I drive all the way from the south bay just to come to Dr. Jue’s office. Everyone that complains about the dentist being a horrible experience needs to see this dentist. Family owned and makes you feel at ease with all the crazy noise coming towards your mouth.

I’ve been going to this dentist office for about 5 – 6 years, recommended by my dad. The staff is very nice and friendly. The environment is like any normal run-​of-​the-​mill dentist office with a small waiting room and 3 rooms for patients. If you want a more painless appt, go with one of the daughters esp. if you need to get a filling done. Old school methods from the dad are painful, but the daughters are new school, so they are gentle and good at what they do. I for one am afraid of needles, so when they do the numbing shot… They discretely block my view from the needle they have to use on me. I don’t feel a thing when they give me the shot and it’s great. Even though, I’ve been coming here, I still haven’t had a sense of comfort or peace when entering into the dentist office, it still feels more like an obligation/​hassle compared to other people’s reviews about their dentists. There’s no raving about any of the dentists I’ve had, yet.

OK, I’m finally doing a review on a dentist — after all my restaurant reviews, I knew the great (and even not too great) desserts were going to bring on the cavity.
Vincent Jue was referred by my Chinese friend and it’s near my Financial District temp job. In the Empress of China building in Chinatown, the location was convenient. The office is below the Empress of China Restaurant which is very old school food and seems expensive — will check it out next time. Back to the dental experience.
It was like walking into the Jue Dynasty… he and his two daughters (all DDSes) run the place. From the look of things, they have older Asian clients from Dad’s biz (over 30 years) and the newbies (like me), who are Unilocaling dentists nearby work or referrals from his daughters peers. (Yo, Bonnie & Laurie).
The receptionists (2) efficiently took my info and within minutes got me in the dental chair. I was thinking I would be waiting, hearing drills… but nope. immediately to the chair. Here comes my dentist, Dr. Vince…, he introduces himself and clearly conveys what’s going to happen and starts into the check-​up and sends a nice dental hygienist (forgot name) to clean my teeth. Whole appt. was painless except when he checked my gum lines… they stick a probe between the gums and teeth and I think the thought of it was the pain. (also if you hear him say a «5» or more. get ready for the speech of flossing and mouthwash)
Final outcome was clean white teeth with less fear of dentists and an appointment for cleaning in June. Also they made me feel so special with a gift (toothpaste, brush and floss (hah!). Last but not least … it wasn’t a cavity.

I am terrified of the dentist, and went to this office, Dr. Laurie specifically, after having not been to the dentist in probably 5 years. Every single person in the office was patient with me and my fears, and explained everything to me every step of the way. I was immediately put at ease, and I now travel from Sacramento to SF to see them! You can’t put a price on good, quality, honest healthcare!
As an aside, Betty has never recommended more than a twice yearly cleaning for me.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Jue’s for over 30 years and I’m so happy to have seen Dr. Bonnie and Dr. Laurie grow up and join the practice. My husband is now also a patient. They have taken good care of both of us and helped me to keep my teeth in excellent condition. The staff is always wonderful and the reminders about appointments are great. I recommend them highly and I have always heard them helping patients understand their insurance coverage. I believe Miss M is mistaken because in all the years that I have been their patient, I have never heard them recommend any 4 month plan to anyone. They are very careful to ensure that patients understand what is covered and how to best work with the insurance coverage and the treatment required. If you are in need of a dentist that goes above and beyond, then the Jue Family Practice is for you.

Unlike «Miss M», It’s never been recommended to me to get more than a bi-​annual cleaning. As a matter of fact, I’ve experienced the complete opposite. Betty and Janet, the office managers, are incredibly cautious with misleading their patients of any pricepoint; they even recommend waiting until your insurance gets back to you with exact coverage amounts so no one is surprised when the claims come through from your insurance.
Recently I switched to regular 9 – 5, and the only day I can come in on Saturday. They specifically opened a Saturday up 3 weeks in advance and took patience just because that’s the only time I could come in.
Betty might possibly be the sweetest lady alive and will spend 30 minutes with you if thats what it takes to make sure everyone is on the same page with whatever is in question.
My uncle’s family has been coming here for 15 years, and I can’t imagine going anywhere else as long as I live in San Francisco.

I’ve been to many awful dentists as a kid, enough to develop a deep fear of them! However, when I started going to Dr. Vincent Jue’s office, I knew I could finally stop looking. The dental work Dr. Jue performed on my teeth stayed in place — no more fillings falling out from sloppy work and crowns that sit comfortably from Vincent’s precision fittings. We discuss treatment options — from permanent to interim solutions, cheapest to more expensive (I don’t always have dental insurance). We go over the pros and cons of each, but I ultimately get to decide which option to take.
Now his two daughters are dentists, Laurie and Bonnie. Both are very excellent practitioners with great personalities also. The staff is wonderful — friendly and efficient, several who have been there for many, many years. Besides the quality of work, the dentists are also mindful about the patient’s comfort during the procedure. a big deal for me since Novacaine only works part of the time on me (must be my weird pathway of nerves)!
The office is next to the Financial District for those who work in the area. I usually drive in and park inside the Portsmouth Square garage on Kearny St. The garage is one block from the office.

I have been going to Dr. Jue for over 30 years. I’ll never forget the time I was a college student, and Betty gave me a starving student discount. When I became gainfully employed and learned about the ravages of gum disease, I insisted on 4-​month cleanings. One will never find another dentist more thorough, methodical, and knowledgeable than Dr. Jue.

Been seeing them for over 10 years and always feel well taken cared of. I always receive a friendly reminder before an appointment and never have problems if I have to reschedule unexpectedly. Never heard of them forcing a «4 month» plan because I only get my teeth cleaned about twice/​yr and never have any problems. But when I brought my mom in who never had her gums checked before, we found out that she has a lot of gum/​bone problems and now needs a lot of work. Everyone that I’ve ever referred over has only had good things to say about Dr. Jue’s and their staff. They were even nice enough to see a friend of mine for a last minute emergency appointment on a Sat — totally service oriented.

This place is very friendly and my fiancé has been going to them for 15 years. He referred me over and I’ve been going for about 3 years. I started having doubts about this place when they keep «recommending» to go on the «4-​month» plan instead of the usual 6 month bi-​annual cleaning.
If going on the 4 month plan, you would pay out of pocket for 1 extra cleaning per year ($ 89.00). My fiancé thought it was just his dentist looking out for his teeth which is why he referred me over. But when I visited the office for the first time, Betty was referring EVERYONE who came in on the 4 month plan!
I had doubts from day one and kindly refused as I did not want to pay for an extra cleaning out of pocket. I kindly told her I just prefer the regular bi-​annual cleaning. Well, just recently Betty decided to schedule my appointment coincidentally 4 months later and when I asked why my appointment was in April, she just said, «Ohh, well you really should be on the 4 month plan.»
She knows extremely well that I’ve refused that idea from day one and have NOT been on that plan for 3 years. The moment she decided on her own to sneak in another visit by scheduling my appointment date closer is the day I decided to move to a new dentist. I was appalled on December 29^th (the day she scheduled me in) that I owed $ 89 because it was the 3^rd visit of the year.
Bottom Line: They are very nice and very good team of dentists, however, please beware of their practices of «recommending» an additional cleaning. I find it very dishonest to recommend something that is not needed to line their pockets.

I went to Dr Jue when I was 3 years old, and have seen him for the last 29 years. In fact, my mom, two sisters, brother and nephew are also his patients. He and his entire staff and family are GREAT!!! They do good work and stay up to date on current methods and technology. They were using the improved sterilization equipment way before the 80’s and HIV scared everyone.

Great team of dentists, includes Vincent Jue and his two daughters — Bonnie and Laurie. Vincent is an excellent dentist and explains everything clearly. Bonnie is usually not there because she’s a professor at UCSF. I prefer Laurie Jue out of the whole bunch because I am super sensitive to pain, and she’s extremely gentle. For all the procedures, she goes through it step by step. She apologizes if she’s too rough (but that’s rare). Everyone on staff is friendly and attentive. Dr. Jue’s wife Betty manages the office and she’s always there to greet you with a friendly smile. My whole family goes there for dental care.
Located on the 3^rd floor of the bldg right across from the park. Office is small but cozy. Great thing is after I get my teeth cleaned, I can go to downtown for shopping!
