I went in to have a cavity filled. As always the service was Superior too say the least and the staff was delightful. They have a way of making you feel right at home and Nigel knows how to numb your mouth and give you a shot without you ever feeling it. I must say he is definitely the Best at what he does. Thanks for everything.

I have been visiting Nigel and the team at Soma Dental for over 10 years. They are simply the best. My husband is not a fan of dentists and even he is OK visiting twice a year without me having to drag him!
Jose Bedoya
Excellent dentist, he has a very professional and friendly team! and Dr Suárez's work is exceptional! I don't have anything negative to say, I arrived at the site with a lot of fear and mistrust, but seeing his professionalism and dedication, I felt great and trusted in his hands. ❤️

Dr Suarez did a careful examination and listened to me and my tooth. Explained the possible issues, prescribed antibiotics, and took a careful wait and see attitude. It was perfect.

Zachary Barbati
Literally the best dental experience I have had in over a decade. Dr. Suarez is not only a collaborative and kind, but also really good at what he does. Additionally, his staff are friendly and supportive. They seem invested in the wellbeing of their patients and less interested in revenue. I had such a wonderful experience with SOMA Dental that it's changed my approach to oral health and wellbeing. Thanks team :)

I've been a patient with Soma Dental for about 4 years since moving to SF for work and I love them. The team is great, the customer service is exceptional and I feel comfortable when attending appointments. They've worked with me on numerous occasions and have been so flexible regarding scheduling and payment. It's definitely a team atmosphere. Thank you so much Soma Dental team!

SOMA Dental is just the best. The staff is kind and friendly, my cleanings are always thorough, and Dr. Suarez is the best dentist I've ever had. He is knowledgeable, always developing professionally, straight-forward, a clear communicator, and gentle (always asking me how something feels).
Marco Garcia
The service was great! I am very happy with the total experience! I went yesterday to have my crown cemented. DR SUAREZ did an excellent job of putting the crown back in. I am very happy with the results! I had a dental cleaning today. Ollie did an amazing job cleaning my teeth. I am very happy being a patient with SOMA DENTAL!

I am so impressed by Dr. Nigel Suarez as well as his care team. Dr Suarez is truly a special, kind, and caring person and makes you feel so at ease in his care. I genuinely feel so thankful that I came across Soma dental.
Elissa Chen
Hands down my favorite dentist I have ever been to. Nigel was incredibly patient and understanding. He talked me through ever possible option and procedure to make sure I was comfortable with everything. He made me feel so at ease, during the procedure he was encouraging and would let me know what he was doing. I cannot recommend him enough!
Fanny Rayray
I love the staff, They’re polite and professional. Special mention to Dr. Suarez is the best doctor. He understood how to treat senior citizen concern and fears. I already recommended him. Thank you.
Christina Harrison
I absolutely LOVE Soma Dental! I am a bay area native and seen a number of dentists over the years, but Dr. Suarez and his team are by far the best! They are professional, caring, and my teeth have never looked better. I went from wanting to hide my smile, to absolutely beaming! Every follow up appointment has been just as wonderful as the first. I am always looking forward to my next appointment. Thank you so much Soma Dental!
Christina Leigh Harrison
Dr. Suarez and his team are literally the BEST! This is what your dentist SHOULD be like. I used to love going to the dentist because I wanted to have a nice smile. After seeing a few different dentists over the years that were all too eager to drill and fill my mouth with expensive crowns that fell out, I finally found an absolutely wonderful dentist. Not only did Dr. Suarez help get my teeth back in shape, but they have NEVER looked better. NEVER. He is incredibly humble and very professional as well, and didn't say anything bad about the previous work other dentists had done. He instead focused on what he could do to help improve the functionality and aesthetic of my teeth. As a dentist should, he took a minimalist approach, with as little drilling as possible, but still being very through to make sure the job was done. I literally cried when I got home I was so happy and could not stop starring at my new smile! Now instead of trying to hide my smile, I am proud to show my smile off and can not stop smiling! Thank you so, so much Dr. Suarez! I am finally looking forward to going to the dentist again!
Pam Godbold
SOMA dental is the Best!! Nigel is great. Explains things, always asking if you are OK. And all his procedures are painless. You do not feel the Novocain shot, or what else he is doing. And he loves talking about his family! The best dentist and staff around!!!!! AND PAINLESS!!!
Gerardo Gonzalez
Terrible service, I called to make an appointment and asked for directions to arrive on time and they gave me the wrong address and when I arrived they told me I was late and I explained that they gave me the wrong address but they did not want to assist me, finally they did not ask for an apology .
Dear Mr. Gerardo Gonzalez, Sorry to hear about your negative experience. We take all patient reviews seriously, and it was quite alarming to read what happened to you. We checked our records and you are not a patient of ours; nor have you ever been scheduled for an appointment at our office at any time. There is a dental clinic with a similar name as ours; and perhaps your review was intended for that office. I would be more than happy to discuss this with you; and am extending an invitation for you to be a patient at our office. We would love the opportunity to make your experience with us a positive one! Best wishes, Dr. Nigel Suarez Dear Mr. Gerardo González, I'm sorry to hear about your negative experience.

Everyone is happy, helpful, and professional. The work that I had done today was probably the easiest, most pain-free ever, and everything was explained to me calmly. Probably the best dental experience I've ever had.

Ann Grogan
Always friendly recepitionist staff with health care professional on time. Been a client for over 25 years, and feel like this is my family!
Marlon M Perez
I couldn't see Dr. Saurez for a year due to the Covid-19 business required closures, but I went back and felt great for his hygienist to do my six month cleaning and felt relieved. I am hoping his practice will start opening five days a week instead of three because he need to make more available appointments and make up for the days and months he couldn't see his patients.
Braddah Rick
