My office location as of September 2005 is at 556 Battery. That's on Battery between Washington and Jackson. By the way, Battery is a one way only street, heading south. Street parking is available but costs $3.00 per hour (that's alot of quarters!). There is a parking garage nearby on Washington with the entrance on Clay. The Embarcadero 1 parking garage is about a block and a half away, as well.	Insurances: I am a Delta dentist , however, I accept all insurances that allow you to see any dentist. I had previously been a Blue Cross provider, but due to ongoing problems with the administration of that insurance, I have decided to drop that company. When there is a question about your coverage, we will check with your insurance first to avoid misunderstandings.
This office is brand new with state of the art equipment. I utilize digital x-rays, which use far less radiation than conventional xrays. Additionally, I use "Diagnodent". This is laser diagnosis of decay. The little metal "pick" we use (an explorer) was invented in the early 1700s. The only scientific evidence we have is that it can readily spread decay from an infected tooth to a non-infected tooth. The Diagnodent detects the amount of fluorescence the tooth has. Bacteria and some fillings fluoresce at a higher rate. This allows us to detect and treat tiny cavities before they become big. Preventing big cavities also helps to prevent structural compromise of your teeth. I also use a microscope when looking at the bacteria from under the gums. If you're interested, please feel free to ask to take a look!	My daughter, Carolyn and step-daughter, Sarah.
