I had such a great experience at Dr. Sellen's Dental office. At the front desk, Hillary was very friendly and considerate and thoughtful to offer me a drink since it was hot coming from outside. Their Registered dental assistant, Tanaya, was very gentle in taking my X-rays and kept asking me if I was doing ok, and that was very thoughtful of her; I'd salute her for being such a great worker.

Doctor Sellen thoroughly explained my treatment plan very well. I was please that he went over with the great plan with me, which I appreciate so much from him. I'm so happy that I found a dentist that I can settle and trust. Also, I love my hygiene goody bag(a little travel bag with toothpaste, toothbrush, flavored flosses, chapstick & a pen) that they gave me on my first visit. Thank you so much, Dr. Sellen and team. I can't wait to come back.

I've been coming to this office for over 30 years with great results and can say that since Dr Sellen took over it continues to be first rate health care. I highly recommend Dr Sellen to anyone looking for dental care.

Feels like family when we visit. It makes a difference when your dentist and everyone there know you and care about you and your family. Karen is awesome and always makes us feel so welcome! Dr. Sellen is very knowledgeable and always makes us feel comfortable when needing to make decisions. All of the staff is always so good to us. Shout out to Lisa, Tanaya and Hillary! Thanks for being such awesome humans!

I recently had to get a tooth filled and was very anxious. Dr Sellen and Tanaya took great care of me and I felt so comfortable. The filling feels great and afterwards Karen checked on me to be sure I was okay. I really recommend this office for the great dental care and personal care. Thank-you so much!

The care and treatment I received from Fellor was very good and reassuring. I had severe pain in my gums and Fellor was able to clean all my teeth and relieve the pain I was having and now my gums are healthy and my teeth are cavity free. She was also super nice when i came in for my checkup and she was kind enough to have conversations with me about my personal life.

Dr Sellen besides having a great "chairside manner", was very patient and thorough with both his examination and then his explanation of his findings and my options. He was clear on his recommendations which I am following through with. I look forward to returning for my next appointment. Tim E.

I've been going to Dr. Sellen for 4-5 years. He and his staff are excellent. There are never any hidden charges or "upsale" on work or procedures I don't need. He and his staff also make safety a top priority in our COVID New World, which is reassuring. I've recommended Dr. Sellen to multiple people, he's the best.

Best dentist! Really! Cannot recommend this dentist more highly. Very skilled. Tremendous attention to detail. His work is second to none. I have had restorative work and maintenance done and feel like I am in the best hands with Dr. Sellen. His staff reflect the same devotion to pati care. If you are looking for a great dentist look no further.

Dr. Sellen and his team are absolutely amazing! From the very beginning their communication was clear, concise and informative. They explained the information regarding insurance coverage for me and went above and beyond. They were efficient and took all necessary precautions for Covid. I highly recommend them and will definitely be returning.

The staff was prompt professional, and explained what they had done, and why. They also helped me get dental coverage at their office. This is why my family continues to come back

Dr Sellen and his staff are very professional and treat the COVID-19 virus very seriously. It was easy for me to relax and the filling I needed was performed quickly and painlessly. I recommend Dr Sellen!

Dr. Sellen is a wonderful, knowledgeable, and personable dentist. I moved to the area about a year ago and I'm fairly picky with my health care team. I'm so happy with choosing Dr. Sellen's office! His team and expertise has made my transition so much easier to the area. Also, after a couple of dentists suggesting a night guard, I finally gave in with Dr. Sellen.

I felt with my other dentists that it was more of an upscale. Dr. Sellen and his team have worked closely with home to work with my dental insurance and my availability. I appreciate it!

Wow. What an efficient, safe, knowledgeable yet so pleasant office! Dr. Sellen is a handsome, young yet VERY knowledgeable dentist. His overly pleasant demeanor is no front. this is the real deal! They also make this COVID-19 situation a non-issue by being extremely safe with their PPE and having the office run as smooth as possible. The office is beautiful as well as the staff;- They take their time to explain any conditions I had and provided treatment options. There's no awkward pressure or sales pitches like from most other offices in the area.

I trust this office like I trust my wife. I'm so glad I found Dr. Sellen. They are truly in it for patient care and I have the upmost respect for them to consistently uphold those values. Thank you to the whole office!

I found my new dentist! Super excited to be part of this dental office moving forward. Everyone reading this, I swear by this office, and I have never been more impressed by a dentist and their professionalism in getting to the cause of the pain. First off, I do not want to be a sob story or whatever, but I've had a lot of work done on my teeth due to abnormalities in the way my teeth grew in when I was younger.

Basically my teeth are too big for my small mouth. I am missing my pre molars & back molars, still have my wisdom teeth though. Fast forward to today, I finished ortho treatment a second time at my previous dental office to fix my bottom teeth. Turns out, ortho treatment made my teeth feel worse than they felt before. After complaining about the pain to my previous dentist, and just trying to get an answer to cause of my pain, I started to get the impression that my concerns where being brushed aside.

I decided to see a specialist, turns out I have an underdeveloped lower jaw, and should have fixed my jaw first before any ortho treatment. I think at this point I just didn't want to be known as that nagging patient that complained about everything every time I would come in at my previous dental office. I felt like I was starting to become known as a difficult patient, and once you get that feeling it's time to go.

I came here for a consultation, and Dr. Sellen reviewed my whole mouth. He could see the weird movements in my jaw and that I had reasons for the pain I felt. He immediately recommended I get this issue fixed by my specialist because it will get worse over time. You can tell when a dentist actually cares about their patients, and one that just does it as a job. Dr. Sellen listened to me first, then evaluated my mouth, and gave me a diagnosis of the issue.

The information he gave me made me feel more confident in pursuing treatment and I will be coming back here moving forward because I've never felt more at eases with someone actually listening to the issues and not just saying, "You're fine, there's nothing wrong."

This morning, Pearl did an outstanding job cleaning my teeth! I have been going to Dr. Sellen for years and before him, I went to Dr. Weatherholt. Two of the best and most through dentists.

I highly recommend this care provider! Covid procedures were obvious & helped me feel very safe. With Dr. Sellen & staff I never feel rushed. They listen when I talk & they take time to answer all of my questions. They want me to be educated about the care they are offering. For example, they have taken me on tours of my teeth, mouth, via large photos taken on the spot. Suggested care plans are throughly explained.

All cost are known in advance. I feel safe & protected in their care. The staff is amazing! They are kind, responsive & upbeat - I think this reflects their work environment. The whole experience has been very positive. Thank you Dr. Sellen & staff for your service & devotion. I am grateful for your care! Cheers, Lucy

Absolutely LOVE Dr. Sellen and his team! I haven't been to the dentist in a long time, and that's because I've always had terrible experiences growing up. I've expressed this to Dr. Sellen and his team and every time I come in for an appt they always make sure I'm comfortable. All the staff have the warmest smiles when welcoming you in and the music they play in the office is really comforting.

One big thing I appreciate about Dr. Sellen is explaining to me what he's doing. Knowing what's going on in my mouth really calms my mind. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dentist, him and his team are truly the best!

A new dentist for me. Called this AM at 6:30 and got in at 1pm same day. Jessica the receptionist was very thorough and awesome to work with. She came out to my car, took my temperature and proceeded to walk me into the office and into a very clean room. Once in the room I met the dental assistant and then Dr. Sellen. I was very pleased on the way he explained everything up front to me and made suggestions along the way on how to handle my front tooth problem. Awesome Dr and awesome staff. I recommend Dr. Stellen to everybody that's looking for a great dentist and one that handles you with kid gloves on. Thank you Dr for the great job on my tooth.

Is it possible to get excited about a dental appointment? I didn't think so until I became a patient at Dr. Sellen's practice. I've been to numerous dental offices in the past and have always dreaded going to an appointment. I was often scared and lost about the procedures that were being done to me, which is why I was surprised at my first visit to Dr. Sellen's office.

From the beginning, Dr. Sellen and his team made me feel comfortable. It felt as though I was a patient they have been taking care of this whole time. He was able to quickly and accurately assess my teeth health. From check-in, x-ray, cleaning, complex procedures, and everything in between, I felt the genuine interest and care Dr. Sellen and his team provided. Problems with my teeth were clearly explained and all the options that best suit me were shared transparently.

I am truly excited to continue to work with his team on improving my smile with each visit : I highly recommend Dr. Sellen and his team. I am glad to have found his practice and would love for other people to discover his office too.

Dr. Sellen and his entire team are AMAZING. During the COVID-19 closure Dr. Sellen was so responsive and helpful when I chipped my front tooth. He was able to see me as soon as possible and as safely as possible. His office is spotless and his staff is welcoming and kind. He always has good music on and has a great attitude. He is so so talented at what he does, every time I leave his office I love my smile a little more. I can't recommend him enough, he makes me love going to the dentist.

I had a regular teeth cleaning scheduled with Ginny, a hygienist with Dr. Sellen's office. It was my first time seeing her, though I've been coming to this dental office for years (back to Dr. Weatherholt). Ginny was AMAZING. Very professional, very thorough, communicated what she was doing at all times, and gave me lots of tips for maintaining good dental hygiene between appointments. All staff are very friendly from reception to the hygienists and to Dr. Sellen. I highly recommend this dentist's office!

I had my first visit with Dr. Sellen last week while visiting relatives in the Bay area. My aunt recommended Dr. Sellen from her experiences as his patient. She and I don't agree on much, but this dentist is outstanding! He listened while I discussed all of my concerns. He was very thorough with addressing all of my questions and explaining my treatment. He was very friendly, personable and gentle throughout my treatment. This dentist just gets it! I will refer all of my bay area friends and family!
