Love Dr. Specker!! I have been going to him for a year now. He is very experienced and does excellent work. I usually hate going to the Dentist, but then I found Dr. Specker and I look forward to it now. I highly recommend him.

I first saw Dr. Specker eight years ago. At that time I was wearing a metal retainer on my uppers that held two teeth it covered the roof of my mouth and was very annoying to say the least. It did the job and I looked OK, but very uncomfortable. I also was self-conscious about my front teeth because of the fillings in them and small cracks that were badly stained. Dr. Specker came up with a grand plan that over the course of these past eight years has evolved and I got rid of the upper retainer, have beautiful front teeth and I am so pleased with my mouth! I work with the public and my smile is so important in my job and I throw it around now with confidence.
Dr. Specker keeps up to date on the latest and greatest with computers and teeth gizmos. Its obvious he loves his job and you know hes reading all the current literature and research and keeping up to date with his meetings and peer groups. He patiently and calmly plugged away at my mouth issues, never doing more than what I (and our insurance) could afford. Every stage of my mouth evolvement was exciting and satisfying. My husband (who also is a patient) says if he was racing a car in the Indy 500 hed want Doc Specker to be working on the engine and be h

I cannot praise Dr. Specker and his staff highly enough. I first went to Dr. Specker for a cracked tooth, which required a crown. It is still there, along with the others added in the next ten or twelve years (my family has very bad teeth). When 'emergency' treatment was needed, I had no problems in getting in to see him, including one weekend visit.
He and his staff are knowledgeable, talented, experienced. Most importantly - they Care!

I have been going to Dr. Specker for 13 years, ever since I moved to SF. When I moved my teeth were a mess. I had all my wisdom teeth pulled, fillings re-done and about 7 crowns...yes 7!
I have gone thru a lot of work and I have never been disappointed. Dr. Specker's knowledge and skill is unparalleled and my teeth are stronger, cleaner and better looking thanks to him.
I highly recommend trying him out.

Dr. Specker was recommended to me by an ENT specialist from UCSF for jaw pain and he's seen me through jaw surgery, dental implant, gum surgery, crowns and root canals and a major accident. I have changed my PCP doctor, my HMO insurance coverage and have moved out of San Francisco, but I stay with Dr. Specker. He is a quality dentist, keeps updated on the latest dentistry and his office staff have been with him for years. He has corrected bad dental work from another dentist on my husband and helped him when in pain. Dr. Specker would not recommend anything that was not necessary. I recommend Dr. Specker as a good dentist and trust him.

On a scale of 1-10, Dr. Specker is a 15! He is absolutely the best. You just know you are in good hands, he is so knowledgeable. He is absolutely a top-notch professional, plus being patient and nice. His staff is terrific; they've all been with him for years, which says alot. The office itself is great, with a beautiful view of the Bay. He has taken care of me for 20+ years including dental work from the mundane to the truly complex, including crowns, emergency root canal (yes, he does them himself!), and most recently invisalign (highly successful). He identified the fact that I needed gum surgery and found me the right specialist-dentist; then he stayed in the picture and made sure everything was OK. He identified the fact that I needed implants (not once, but twice) and found me another specialist-dentist; then he again stayed in the picture and made sure everything was OK.
Don't think twice. Dr. Specker is the real deal. You will thank me!

Dr. Specker saved my career. After years of neglect I was down to only 16 teeth. Most of my back teeth had been removed in the past 10 years. When my front teeth, which had root canals, started to break off a friend referred me to Dr. Specker. Something had to be done since in my line of work (engineering) I need to give presentations to clients almost daily. Looking like a street person did not have great appeal to clients at work and my friends.
My first visit was a thorough clearing and check up. Dr. Specker diagnosed that all but 4 or 5 teeth had extensive damage. He gave me a choice of rebuilding my badly damaged teeth or to get an appliance (false teeth) that would attach to my remaining 4 healthy teeth. I elected the appliance which was about one tenth of the cost of the repair of all my badly damaged teeth.
During my second appointment Dr. Specker attached metal posts into my 4 eye teeth and took a full impression of my teeth and gums (this took about 4 hours). The third visit, which sounds scary, took only a little over 4 hours with minimum discomfort. He removed all the teeth except the 4 with the metal posts. He then snapped the new appliances over the posts and I walked out of his office with a full set of teeth.

Dr. Specker is a terrific dentist. He did a wonderful job on the major dental work I had needed done for years (many crowns), yet has helped me avoid more major work when a more minor intervention could do the trick. Other dentists in his previous building used to pop in to ask Dr. Specker for advice on their cases. He also has a great sense of humor and great chair-side manner, and the dental chairs have a lovely view of the city. Dr. Specker is easily reachable in the event of a dental emergency, and has always accommodated my needs. I also love the office staff, and would not hesitate to recommend this dental practice.
