Why People Love Peninsula Dental Associates

Luisa H.
I’ve been seen by Dr. Phandi quite a lot lately with all my dental needs and issues. He is an outstanding dentist and person. He answers all my questions and concerns very promptly and concisely and I’ve been pleased with all the treatments I’ve received. His staff is extremely professional and friendly. I’m especially pleased by the care I receive from Aviv, the best dental hygienist around. Dr. Phandl and his staff deserve my 5/5 stars 🌟!
Kevin S.
The service Dr. Phandl provides is of the highest quality. From the moment you walk in The door, you’re a treated as if you are the most important person there. Dr. Phandl is very easy to talk to and walks you through the process of what he is doing. After my recent visit he showed me the before and after shots of my tooth which was an absolute treat. I would recommend Dr. Phandl to anyone that wants a great dentist and the best service.
Karen G.
Couldn’t be happier with Dr Phandl. I needed a cavity redone in a front tooth because it was so old. Dr Phandl redid it so efficiently. It looks terrific! You can’t even tell. He is so professional, gentle and kind. The shot of novacain did not hurt a bit. I can’t say enough good things about this experience that I was anxious about because it was a front tooth!
Stephen S.
It has been such an easy transition from my 25 year dentist to Dr. Phandl. I am completely satisfied and have recommended other people to him who are also appreciative of the recommendation. He is great!
R. McC
Dr Phandl and his staff provide excellent service. I needed a cracked crown replaced and he was able to do so right away, all in house using CAD software and a 3D printer to create and install the replacement crown. Amazing care - thank you.

Dr Phandl is a great dentist. He explains everything thoroughly and is very transparent. I also did Invisalign with him and he achieved great results. He is accommodating and takes great pride in his work. I never felt rushed or forgotten!

I always love to come and see the staff and Dr Phandl. Everyone from the receptionist to the hygienist to the assistance and to the dentist are wonderful.
Shelby R.
Dr. Phandl & team make a dentist visit, a typically daunting task for most, painless, seamless & enjoyable. From X-rays, cavity fillings to cosmetic adjustments, Dr. Phandl delivers the highest quality, quickly. I haven’t had a visit last longer than 45 minutes, and I’ve left with no pain and satisfied with the results every time. Highly recommend Dr. Phandl & his dental team.
Lisa L.
Dr Phandl, the front staff Lani, and the hygienists (especially Aviv) are all amazing. Love their surround X-ray machine (Panarex?) machine so I can avoid those gag inducing bite wings. All the latest dental technology, communication via text, and fast efficient appointments that don’t hurt! What’s not to love for a dental office?!
Linda N.
I’ve been a patient here for many years and I can’t say enough about how nice the staff is and the excellent work performed by Dr. Phandal! I recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great dentist.

Dr martin Phandl continues to exceed my expectations with super quality work and getting things done really fast and precise; he did an implant for me this morning. I was totally stoked about how well it went.
Debra K.
Dr. Phandle and his team were so caring and patient. And their new little service dog really relaxed me! I really appreciate the options they offered me to make decisions with some less or more aggressive dental work .. they absolutely have their patients best interest in mind.
Excapurity E.
Big thanks to Dr Phandl, Maria and all the team! They were all very kind, professional and helpful to me when I called them for unplanned extractions of my wisdom teeth. Everything went very well, starting from a smooth communication, extractions, check ups and recovery. Highly recommend!

Doctor Phandl was by far the best dentist ive ever had, professional, meticulous and went out of his way to make you as comfortable as possible throughout the entire process. My teeth needed quite a bit of work and I am more than happy with the results, he did an amazing job!!
