About a month ago I found myself reading periodontists' yelp reviews and I'm eager to contribute my praise for Dr. Pasquinelli. When a crown broke in the front of my mouth I was mortified. I did some research both to see if I could save some money and to find a periodontist I'd feel comfortable with. A faculty member at UCSF told me I would need a bone graft, 3 surgeries spread out over 9 to 11 months, probably. Needless to say, I was filled with dread and eager to find someone else.
On my dentist, Dr. Mike Hack's recommendation, and based on yelp reviews, I chose to have Dr. P do my oral surgery.
The initial exam was remarkably thorough. I was given an estimate for the procedure, and set a date for the surgery, which was last Monday.
I am amazed, there was NO pain. Not during, not after, not in the week since my extraction and implant, none. Not only that, but I remembered that the bill had been an estimate. When I asked about this, I was refunded a portion of my payment.
I was impressed with the integrity of the office, with Dr. P's skill and willingness to explain things to me. I gratefully and eagerly endorse him! Had I known a month ago that I would find myself on the other end of this surgery feeling like I do now, how much anxiety would I have been spared?!

My dentist sent me to Dr. Pasquinelli years ago. Like others, I'm grateful for his existence - and amazed at how relaxed I am for each visit, due in no small part to the fact that he is nonpareil.
To address one reviewer's baffling reference to him as "cocky": judging by the tone of the review, I suspect a little projection. There's a big difference between cockiness and being superb at and confident in what you do. Dr. P is a unique personality, for sure. He's not cuddly, and I suppose his imperturbable calm could be either reassuring or disturbing. But he's actually a nice guy - unassuming, respectful, and even funny. When something once went flooey post-surgery (which is normal every once in a while, even for the best; we're humans, not robots) he addressed it right away, professionally and - what was most striking - with real curiosity (as opposed to alarm, annoyance, etc). That reaction explains as well as anything why he's so damn good at what he does.

In the middle of the journey of life, I found myself lost in a harsh, dark, frightening, painful wood: gum recession! To overcome this, I knew I would have to descend into Dante's 9th circle of Hell, with no Virgil or Beatrice to guide me out.
Fortunately, however, two excellent dentists recommended Kirk Pasquinelli to me. I don't want to say this on the Internet, because probably I will not be able to get an appointment with him after this (he will be too booked up!), but both dentists told me Kirk Pasquinelli was one of the best experts in the country in dealing with gum issues.
I am still in the midst of the painful healing process of my surgery, but I do believe I have found a Virgil to lead me out of the dark wood of gum recession, and for that I am enormously grateful to the brilliant, heaven sent gifts of Dr. Pasquinelli. Thank you.

This is my 4th dental review. I appear to be a dental maven. The truth is that I've had a lot of work done and in recent years, I have been fortunate to have learned from my mistakes and worked very hard at finding and asking for the best dentists and specialists in SF.
I had to get an implant for a front tooth - that is a very important matter. I went to no less than 3 specialists. Based on my consultations, Dr. Pasquinelli was the best. And I am going to say openly that he was the most expensive. But again, this very important procedure was a matter of quality and aesthetics and a delicate matter indeed.
It has been years. I have not had any issues. The healing was swift, I never think about the implant and my dental hygenists even go out of their way to tell me what good work was done on the implant.
If you are fortunate enough to have good insurance or can afford to go the extra mile expense wise, do not hesitate to see Dr. Pasquinelli for a tooth implant, especially if its a tooth that plays a starring role in your smile. This is where you want to spend your money. And I think his work is worth it.
I'm very appreciative of Dr. Pasquinelli and feel very grateful that I found him and that he helped me look and feel better. By the way, he was nice to me.
He's a good doctor, b/c a good doctor completely understands that you want to look good too and you want to look forward to a normal, undetectable implant. If you don't understand that, then you don't care about quality b/c that's where the SKILL and EXPERTISE comes in. Sloppy work, unskilled hands, messy sutures, that's for the birds.
This is precisely why Dr. Pasquinelli is excellent and above-average. I didn't have to explain how important this procedure was to me. I recall that he treated me great and with lots of attention, care and respect.
Thank you again Dr. Pasquinelli. I think you're great.

Pasquinelli, Kirk Pasquinelli. The man is quite simply, a Periodontal Wushu Master. From his all-black surgical scrubs, to his meticulously trimmed stubble beard, to the high tech computer screens that cover the walls of the treatment rooms, every aspect of this man and his practice scream of professional competence, cool control and surgical precision. When Kirk manipulates cold, steel tools inside your mouth, he measures, probes and evaluates with a scientist's attention to detail. He moves quickly. He speaks to his attendant nurse in a relaxed but directive manner. He explains each procedure with detail so that I understand what we're doing, why we're doing it and what the results will be. In certain cases, the Master told me I didn't need surgery and he discouraged me from undergoing expensive procedures. I appreciated that. Kirk is the simply the best. Period.
