They strictly adhere to current Covid-19 protocols, and thoroughly explain each step of the process they are engaging in.

"We have been coming here for the past few years and have never experienced any problems whatsoever. The staff is courteous and professional and accommodating. Since covid19 some of the personnel has changed, I’m. OT saying that’s a bad thing at all. I recently went in for my checkup and felt safe and confident that they have taken great measures to ensure my safety. If you don’t feel safe then don’t go in but just remember your overall health hinges on good oral health as well."

"I have been going to to courtyard dental for over 10 years now and the staff is awesome! They really care about you with follow ups and ensuring you get the best care from the cleanings to restoration. I miss Dr. Hickmont as he retired but the other Dr.’s that took over are really sincere and as caring for your best possible outcome."

"I had to have a cap put on a tooth. My prior experience with the procedure and interim window we're not good. Dr. Wong did this procedure and it was a completely different experience. He used a special guard so my cheek and tongue we're protected. He gave me status as we went along ("50% done"), and he checked often to be sure I was comfortable. He was awesome! I'll never love getting a cap, but I'll always want it to be done by Dr. Wong."
More
"I had an amazing first time visit experience.i was greeted right away by Ashley with a warm welcome. Sara Dental assistant was friendly and nice. She explained what is going to be done at my visit and guided me through each step with me. I then got approached by Dr.Wong introducing himself and he also explained to me what is going to happen each step of the way. They took picture is my teeth and showed me first hand to explain what they see so I can see.This made me feel at ease. I was able to share how I felt about my teeth with patience from both Dr Wong and Sara. Marijane also helped explain my benefits to give me a better idea of what to expect to help me make the best decision for myself. I highly recommend this dental place. Thank you Courtyard Denta"

Thank you to everyone at Courtyard Dental, we're with you for the long hall."

"This review is for the hygienist Mona, Dr Barretto, and Dr Gabr. I always hated trips to the dentist, until I came to Courtyard dental. The minute I walked through the door I was made to feel comfortable, and at ease. I hadn’t seen a dentist in over 5 years, Dr Barretto helped come up with a treatment plan for the issues with my teeth, and Mona has provided me with 2 cleanings now. All the treatment I’ve gotten done there has been fantastic and pain free. Mona was able to explain to me everything that was going on and how it would be treated, her cleanings are thorough and make your mouth feel great. The work that Dr Baretto and Dr Gabr performed was pain free, stress free, and quick. I strongly recommend making this office your individual or family dentist! They’re great!"

I recently went and had Mona as my hygienist and she caught a minor cavity on one of back molars. Since I go to school in SoCal I was advised to get it filled asap. Dr. Hickmott was very accommodating and booked me the last appointment of the year for the following day at 8AM. The fill was quick and painless as Dr. Hickmott and his team are very experienced and gentle. They try to make sure patients feel comfortable and taken care of. Also the front desk workers are very welcoming. When I was younger I used to get nervous before going to any dental appointments at my past dental office but the environment of Courtyard Dental is different and the nerves stopped when I switched! I highly recommend families come to Courtyard Dental :)"
More
"Dr. Hickmott and his team are absolutely amazing.  This will probably sound like a broken record with other reviews, but I've been going to Courtyard Dental for over 20 years.  Right now, I spend most of my time in SF, but refuse to go to another dentist, even if means having to commute a bit longer.  The entire staff is great and makes it an easy/comfortable experience.  Shout out to Danielle in specific who deals with me constantly forgetting or changing my appointment times.  Plus, they really know their stuff and for people who for whatever reason cannot get brushing right (me) - they take the time to show you what you're doing wrong and how to fix it.  In my most recent visit, Mona gave me a full 101 on brushing the right way and even flossed my teeth to show me the right way to do it...I know, I am special.  Point being, these guys really care about you and you're teeth and show it.  Wish I could give more than 5 stars here."

I recommend this office very highly. UPDATE: Had to get an old crown replaced and deal with a problematic tooth no other dentist could figure out. Dr. Hickmont successfully identified the issue and fixed both my teeth all with a caring and compassionate approach that rivals none. If one could love going to the dentist, it would be only to this one!!"

"Dr. Hickmott and his staff have continued to go above and beyond in the care they have provided to me and my family.I am a dental coward and Dred coming in for my cleanings or anything else that may have been necessary over the years.  Dr. Hickmott always greats me with a smile and is very reassuring that he will take care of my dental needs in the most professional and comfortable way possible.  He is the only person who can make me laugh with a mouth full of dental tools and high power water spray....I have also had some challenging dental issues.  Dr. Hickmott's excellent diagnostic skills have saved me from losing a permanent tooth and from having to undergo serious tooth and gum procedures.  He has caught potentially serious conditions well in advance.I have been seeing Dr. Hickmott for over 25 years and he has not removed me from being a patient yet..."

"In and out in 1/2 hour (you almost wish it were longer 'cos everyone's so nice). Complete and awesome cleaning and x-rays!"

"I have had Mark and his staff attending to all of my family and my dental needs for for nearly 20 years. Very professional & friendly staff. Today was another great example of the attentive service from Mark's Staff. Hygienist Kristin greeted me today asking how my daughter's wedding was over 6 months ago. I had casually mentioned the wedding on my previous visit and she made my day by remembering this special time and asking about it.  I would highly recommend using Courtyard Dental if you want professional, courteous and friendly service.Thanks for service over all these years Mark & staff."

"I had some fillings redone by Dr. Hickmott and it was a painless experience. He and his staff are so kind and reassuring. I definitely recommend them for all your dental needs. My daughter saw Dr. Conway and she was fabulous too!! My teeth look great and I am happy to have found a dental group I trust!"

"I have been going to Courtyard for many years now and they have taken great care of me and my teeth.  They have the best technology and I am in and out of there with a quickness.  The employees are are really friendly and super professional.  I plan to continue going here for many more years to come.  Dr. Temlock is awesome and has done an excellent job with the procedures he has done with me.I send all my friend and family here when I can."
More
"Came in for my 6 month cleaning a couple of weeks ago with Kristen and she worked me over "in a good way"!  She kept asking if I was ok (and I was). I had to come back in to see Dr. Temlock.  I was pleasantly surprised that Dr. Temlock had a consultation opening the same afternoon as my morning cleaning.  I came back in that afternoon and Dr. Temlock explained the entire procedure.  Dr. Temlock performed the procedure this past week.  It was quick and not as painful as I thought it would be.  Before and during the procedure, Dr. Temlock explained, checked in and before I knew it, I was out of his chair.  We even had a little joke that I took a quick snooze while he was working :)  It was that "painless"!Stop on by and check out Courtyard Dental!"

"Dr. Hickmott and the entire staff at Courtyard Dental are the BEST!  My entire family has been going to Dr. Hickmott for over 20 years, and he's always taken fabulous care of us.  Even after I moved to Florida, I continue to come back to him on my trips "home".  Sarah is amazing. I believe she's worked for Dr. Hickmott for over ten years (maybe closer to 15 years?), which really speaks to this man's character and integrity.  I have recommended this practice to others, and they have always been very appreciative.If they had a 10-star review, I'd give that.  Words simply cannot describe the comfort and gratitude I feel towards this team!"
More
"I've been coming here for about 10 years. The staff members are very friendly and kind. I haven't had any problems since I've been coming here and I'm no longer afraid to go to the dentist. They are always very accommodating."

"Courtyard Dental is awesome.   My family and I have been coming here for over 10 years.  Their service always hits the mark for me in every respect.  I always appreciate their tone in consult and treatment.  They are also very accommodating and will work with your challenging schedule.  So if your shopping for a new dental office, give them a try,  they just might be your last dental office."

"Great dental team! Everyone in the office seems to really get along with each other and they are extremely friendly! Tiffany at the front desk is the best she was really welcoming and definitely makes the dental office a warm place with her enthusiasm and eagerness to help!"

"I've been going to Dr. Hickmott at Courtyard dental for probably close to 20 years. In addition my kids went to Dr. Hickmott for all of those years raising them until they were adults.  I also referred family and friends over the years who continue to go to Dr. Hickmott to this day. I have always received the highest standard of care and treatment over the years I have never once been disappointed in either their service or their staff. Dr. Hickmott and his entire staff are meticulous with their work, highly professional and always a pleasure to visit."

"My 9 year old son chipped a decent size piece of his permanent front tooth off at school.  I called Courtyard Dental right away and Dr. Hickmott was able to get us in within an hour.  He was so gentle and reassuring to both my son and myself that he could make the tooth look like nothing happened.  He and the entire staff were so nice, understanding and the work by Dr. Hickmott was outstanding.  You could not tell anything had happened to his tooth when the work was complete. My son was pleased that the procedure was very fast and he had no pain at all.  The other thing that I appreciate about their staff is they always show me my out of pocket cost after insurance payment before any work is done so there are no surprises. I highly recommend Courtyard Dental for family dentistry.  My family has been going there for 8 years and the service and staff have always been excellent."

"This Is A Great Office, the staff is impeccable, I just brought my 2 & 3 year old in for their first visit (ever) and they made fun and exciting, believe it or not got them to clean brush and polish their teeth. A MAZE ING. what I thought was going to be a nightmare was exactly the opposite. Dr. Hickmott is a great guy, and Mandy the office manager is so helpful. I would recommend this to anyone!!"

"My Mom got some dental work done here recently while she was down in the Bay Area. She's so computer phobic that computers create special problems whenever she's near them but I'm happy to write the Yelp review she would write if she did Yelp.She said parking was easy, the office was nice and light with comfortable chairs in the waiting room and that everyone she encountered there was friendly and cordial and knew what they were doing.  (She added that she didn't make a lot of use of the comfortable chairs because the wait times were very short.)Her highest praise was reserved for the dentist himself: "He had magic hands, the lightest touch.  You just didn't feel him in your mouth.  And I really appreciated that he's smart enough not to ask questions when your mouth is wide open and you CAN'T ANSWER.""

"Love this place! Only dentist office I've been to that I actually like coming to! All of the staff is super friendly and helpful. If you're not a fan of going to the dentist- check this place out... You'll love it!"
More
"Clearly, the dentist is not my favorite place. Too many bad experiences as a kid and the sound of the drill makes me cringe! However, my experience at Courtyard Dental was so different!! The friendly vibe starts at the door with Tiffany. She goes out of her way to make all their clients feel comfortable! She is absolutely attentive and super friendly! I felt like I've known her for years.The rest of my experience was flawless, I rave about it to my friends because I finally have a dentist I like!"

"It's a shame I can't give more than 5 stars because Dr. Hickmott and his staff are all worth a 10 star rating. First off I am always welcomed by sincere genuine people . Tiffany, one of the front office girls, is always a pleasure to see, she demonstrates what ideal customer service is supposed to be. Along with the rest of the staff who couldn't be any more helpful and nice people. You can tell  that the staff enjoy their work. Now Dr. Lolis THE BEST. I had to get a crown on my front tooth and I didn't know what to expect. Dr Hickmott listened as I cried to him, told me not to worry and got to work. End product is priceless . It's gorgeous and looks very natural. I literally cried when he showed me in the mirror. Dr Hickmott is so unbelievably nice and gentle I just wish I found him and his office years ago. I truly am grateful for Dr Hickmott and his wonderful staff."

"This place is amazing! Great staff everyone is super friendly, especially Tiffany. I just can't say enough about how comfortable and relaxed they made me feel! If you're looking for a great dentist, i would highly recommend!"
More
"What a great place! Not many of us enjoy going to the dentist, myself included. Having said that, the friendly staff and comfortable space at Courtyard Dental makes for a great experience! The staff is courteous and welcoming. Dr. Hickmott is very patient and explains everything so that it is easy to understand. He's always willing to answer any questions I may have. Family friendly too! I would definitely recommend them!"

"Tiffany who works the front office has such a welcoming and kind disposition. She is extremely helpful and professional, always available to answer questions. Customer service is 100% on point."

"I am not one to like going to the dentist but the whole experience at Dr Hickmott's could not be more pleasant.Dr. Hickmott always shows me the x-rays, and photos of my teeth and goes over what the plan is in a way I can totally understand. No surprises!! The whole process couldn't be more comfortable and painless. He always makes sure that I am very numb and able to relax.The hygienists are all gentle and super professional and I love that the office is clean.  I have been a patient of Dr Hickmott's for years and now my whole extended family goes there too! The staff is so thoughtful and super friendly I will never go anywhere else as the whole office makes "going to the dentist" a great experience for my family ."
More
"My whole family goes to Dr. Hickmott.  He is cautious and doesn't do un-needed procedures.  He has other dentists and specialists who work with him who are equally top notch.  And, let me just say that the receptionist Ashley, goes above and beyond for patients.  She has squeezed me in more than once when I had a dental need that I was anxious about.  Top notch!!!"
More
"Dr. Hickmott has been my dentist since 2006. He's wonderful! When I have had major dental work done, he has always provided me with all of my options letting me know the potential pros and cons of each decision I have had to make. Plus, the office is clean, the dental staff are courteous, and they always get me in promptly at my slotted appointment time."

"So far, I have only experienced the services of Dr. A. Temlock at this office. He is the awesomest dentist I have ever had, and I have had many, on 2 different continents ... He is SO sweet and yet so professional. It feels so natural to talk to him. I met him a couple of years ago and at the time I had terrible anxiety of dentists, not for fear of the pain, but for fear of the possible irreversible damage they could do to my mouth. So much of this fear has faded away thanks to Dr. Temlock. He really listens to you and takes your opinion into consideration. He presents to you the options. He does not act as a salesperson but as an expert who is trying to inform you on your best possible options. We are working on my second implant with him and so far everything he has done (including sinus augmentation and bone grafts) has been a success. I really cannot talk for the rest of the staff since I have not experienced their services enough (yet). But if you are looking for dental implants, I would really recommend to go there."

"OK, I have no idea what these other people who gave Dr. Hickmott 1 star are talking about, Mark is a terrific dentist.  I've had several dentists in my life and lots of orthodontic, dental surgery work.  I am 55 and have seen dentists come and go and I had a lot of teeth problems earlier in my life.  I hated going to the dentist until my wife suggested I try her dentist Dr. Mark Hickmott about 12 years ago.So I did.  I was wary at first because I always hated the way cleanings were done by my previous dentists, but Mark used better techniques and equipment and it made me feel comfortable going to the dentist.  I had some work done way before Mark was my dentist that was pretty crappy, Mark just kept an eye on it for several years until it began to look like it was coming apart.  Then he fixed it in two visits and I have had zero problems with that area since.From the beginning Mark took an interest in the fact that my gums were receding. And I was getting a lot of sensitivity. He explained to me how this could be a problem and what I could do to help stop it.  He measured the gum line every time I went in and gave me instruction on how to slow the gums from receding.  It has been a success.Over the years I had some dental issues of course, mainly work that was done previous to Mark becoming my dentist had to be redone...  Stuff like fillings falling out and a couple cavities.  But each time Mark did a terrific job with very little discomfort compared to the "old school" dentists I used to have.I'm also having fewer dental problems overall since I started with Mark 12 years ago.Our two daughters also began seeing Dr. Hickmott when they were about 4 years old, I think.  Our kids love going to Dr. Hickmott.Overall, a really good dentist.  -----------------------------As to what the other reviewers said:The "water pick" that two reviewers mentioned is NOT a water pick at all.  It is a high pressure cleaner that blasts very tiny sodium particles, removing the plaque without manually scraping of your teeth.  It is very effective and frankly much better for your teeth than scraping the enamel with a metal scraper.  The scraping method is cheaper and maybe that is why other dentists still use it.  Mark also does a polish after the cleaning.I cannot believe Mark would do shoddy work, I have never had a problem with his work and neither has anyone in our family.  As I said before my dental issues have actually decreased since I chose Dr. Hickmott as my dentist.  In addition, my children are checked by their ortodontist who said their teeth are well maintained.-----------Mark also uses a very safe x-ray machine, and the images come up on a computer screen right in front of you.  He can show you what he sees in the x-rays and the whole process is very fast.The office is very very nice and convenient, with plenty of parking.  The staff is terrific, they handle insurance, billing, and scheduling very professionally."

"This was the best dental experience ever. Dr. Wong used two technologies I'm not accustomed to; sonic water cleaning and what I can best describe as tooth sand blasting using CHNaO3 which is awesome! If white, healthy teeth is your goal, hit them up!"
More
"This place is wonderful, terrific staff and Mark Hickmott (there is more than one Dentist at this location) is amazing -- personable, knows his stuff, and demonstrates he cares about his work and patients.  You need an appointment, and virtually every appointment I have had I got in at my appointed time, or very close to it.  I saw one bad review here which just stunned me.  I have been going to Courtyard Dental for many years and I cannot believe we are talking about the same place.  Said they didn't see much of the dentist, but the dentist is the one that cleans your teeth -- most other places have an assistant to do that.  I think this is a great place and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a dentist in the San Ramon area."
More
"This is one of the best dental offices I have been to in the San Ramon area.  The staff was extremely friendly, the environment was very clean, and the dentists are great."
More
"Can I get a hip hip hooray for the dentist!  After too many years without one my sister in law recommended Courtyard Dental.  The dentists and assistants are really friendly and professional.  They use the hyrdopick thingy (not really sure what it's called) to clean your teeth and it hurts like hell the first time.  Painful but effective.  Not nearly as bad the next time around.  They've also been really flexible with my husband's and my schedules since for both of us they are constantly changing."
