West Marin is a collection of small places with big distances — Nicasio, Muir Beach, Marshall, Tomales, Dillon Beach, Olema. What they share: Sir Francis Drake, Lucas Valley Road and Hwy 1 all lead, eventually, to central Marin. Dr. Soroush Ghaffarpour ("Dr. G") continues a decades-long Kentfield dental legacy, and we treat West Marin visits with the planning they deserve — combined appointments, same-day crowns, and everything handled in one office.
Getting here from West Marin: Nicasio reaches us in about 30 minutes via Nicasio Valley Rd to Sir Francis Drake; Muir Beach in ~30 via Hwy 1 and 101; Marshall, Tomales and Dillon Beach run 45–60 minutes via Point Reyes–Petaluma Rd or Hwy 1. One road or another, they all end at our door.
