Peninsula Prosthodontic Group: Alison Fishman DMD and Sandrine Lam DDS - San Mateo, California

William Buckley

In a word this practice is perfect.

Here is the long version:

I brought my mother in for both uppers and lowers and the experience was incredible. The quality of work Dr. Fishman provides is stellar, and she falls into the "artist" category when you see the final results. I appreciate how she explained what was going on step by step, and I enjoyed seeing her face light up when she saw the results she was trying to realize during the creation phase. You can tell that she loves what she does. The biggest compliment I can give is that my mother's appearance is the same as when she had teeth. This is not the case with many practices that just churn out a product without care. Dr. Fishman took the time to talk to us, understand what we wanted, and then deliver on it. To be quite honest she exceeded our expectations. She is a wonderful and kind Doctor.

However, a Doctor is only as good as their staff, and I can say that everyone there is the best at what they do. Krystal who manages the front of the house is always friendly and helpful. She stayed in contact with us and set clear expectations. I love that she texted instead of calling and leaving a voicemail that would require a callback. It kept things moving along quickly and on target. She also has a great personality and we enjoyed getting to know her.

The same can be said of Courtney who assists Dr. Fishman. She is attentive and caring. Courtney went out of her way to make us feel valued and cared for. Her bedside manner is impeccable, and it warmed my heart to see her care for my mother. She even remembered the quirks we all have, and had Mom relaxed and ready to go without us even having to ask. She too goes above and beyond your expectations.

To sum things up, I am almost saddened that we won't be able to interact with the office anymore because the work is done, Mom is happy, and she is flashing her pearly whites to the world again. I can't think of a higher endorsement and this practice deserves the praise.

Dr Alison created a porcelain crown and a 4 tooth partial for my husband. She did a beautiful, professional job - wonderful shape and color match.He has his terrific smile back! Besides being extremely competent, she is a wonderful listener and genuinely kind.

I went to Dr. Fishman because of her expert training and superior credentials (Princeton, UPENN, USCF as well as trained alongside someone Board certified). Previously, I had seen other dental specialists who were either unconfident, cutting corners, impatient, or trying to sell procedures for money. Dr Fishman is a perfectionist and worked with me a year to get a FRONT tooth implant. She works with a great lab that reworked and remade the tooth until it was matched in color and shaped to my liking. It is clear Dr Fishman not only has an eye for aesthetics but understands the science behind what she is doing. She included me in every step, sharing her knowledge and was responsive to what I wanted as a patient. I am more than pleased with my service with every staff member at her practice who made sure they were available at times for someone who works full time. I would recommend her a prosthodontist to anyone in the Bay Area needing a highly specific Prosthodonistic case who wants it done right. It’s worth the commute to see a professional who cares about you.

Dr. Fishman is a gifted prosthodontist. I went to see her on the reccomendation of my dentist Dr. Acosta.
I had 2 legacy veneers that were cracked and needed replacing. Dr. Acosta simply said 'she is one of the best'....just go and you won't regret it. And he was right. She takes her time with you,explains everything,empowers you as the patient to make the best decision for your situation and is extremely empathetic.

To say she has transformed my smile is an understatement. My 2 old veneers were replaced with 6 so they would blend in with the rest of my teeth. I am blown away at her artistry, attention to detail and methodlical approach.

Her entire team, esp Cortney and Krystal and the best as well. Responsive, kind and thoughtful.

Just go. They really are the best.

I have been going to Peninsula Prosthodontic Group for over 10 years now. I recently needed to replace a crown and was concerned about COVID. Dr. Alison Fishman reassured me that I could wait till I was vaccinated. I did wait until I was fully vaccinated and recently got my crown replaced. I can't believe how easy the experience was. The entire staff is wonderful. I have never been a fan of going to the dentist, but I never stress before my appointments here. Dr. Fishman's chair side manner is great. She always makes me feel less anxious when I'm in the chair. They do wonderful work and she is a bit of a perfectionist which I love. I would recommend Alison Fishman and the entire team at Peninsula Prosthodontics to anyone looking for a painless dental group.
