I've honestly been dreading going to the dentist for a long time, so finding a place I felt…read morecomfortable with was really important to me. I was referred here through a colleague.  From the moment I walked in the staff was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. They took the time to explain everything clearly and never made me feel rushed or judged, which really helped ease my anxiety. The office is clean, welcoming, and conveniently close to my job. Dr.Nima was gentle, thorough, and professional, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. What I expected to be a stressful experience turned out to be much easier than I imagined. I'm really grateful to have been referred here and would absolutely recommend this office

I had my wisdom teeth removed by the surgeon, and it went incredibly smooth. But what really stood out was how much they cared about me as a whole person and not just a patient. Dr. Nima is very kind, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about his work. The front office helped me with my SHIP insurance payments as well. I will be back for my routine check up!

She had all four impacted wisdom teeth surgery during winter break with the oral surgeon in our hometown. She was good for the post-op but suddenly developed jaw and gum pain along with face swelling yesterday. She was scared and away from home. Luckily, I found Dr. Irving on Yelp. Called right at 8am this morning and Cissy, who answered the phone, was professional, understanding, and patient with this worried mom! She scheduled my daughter for this afternoon and was clear on what Dr. Irving needed from the other oral surgeon before the appt. And to fill out the Patient Registration form on their website. My daughter was cared for by Dr. Irving - both infected sides were numbed and cleaned out. He also wanted to evaluate her to make sure antibiotics were necessary. He reassured her that her recovery would be easier than after her surgery. He got her in and out. She is feeling much better tonight, and I'm glad she has an excellent oral surgeon away from home!

I have SHIP and this dentist was in my network. Like others mentioned, I should've checked reviews…read morebefore scheduling an appointment. He was not able to view X-rays in office and seemed to use them as his only way to identify cavities (or maybe someone else did that?!?). He seems to be the only one working in his office and answers his own phone/follows up over text. I had two appointments with him before switching dentists. At both appointments he did a surface level cleaning with a pick and said I had no cavities. I seriously question his eyesight. After visiting another dentist 6 months later, they said I had 5 cavities and one was so bad I nearly had to have a root canal. Thankfully they were miracle workers and filled my cavity without needing a root canal. I'm no dental expert, but I highly doubt my teeth developed all of these issues within 6 months of my last cleaning... PLEASE AVOID FOR YOUR OWN HEALTH!

He took X-rays and said he had to send them somewhere for the result and never heard back! Also what dentist can't provide results of the X-ray immediately??? NOT A REAL DENTIST. He scraped my teeth with a tool you can get off Amazon for 1 hr. My teeth looked the same as when I get there... asked him why. He said " I can't work miracles." Went to another dentist my teeth are perfect! All the scraping did nothing what so ever. The tool he used to actually wash my teeth was something similar to what Amazon sells as well.

But unfortunately i've found that their billing practices are be deceptive and untrustworthy. I found them through Zocdoc, which listed them as in-network for my Aetna plan. When I went in for my appointment, the front desk staff reassured me that I would be covered through my insurance. But they gave me an incredibly high bill for fillings, higher than i've ever paid before on this same insurance. The front desk is also pushy, they kept trying to lock me into the payment plan on the same day. I later looked into the billing directly via my insurance and realized that they aren't actually in-network. At this point I had already completed half a treatment plan and paid out-of-network rates I hadn't transparently consented to. This doesn't appear to be a one-off error. Other reviews describe the same pattern. If you're considering this practice: call your insurance provider directly and confirm network status before your first appointment. Do not rely on Zocdoc or the practice's own representation. The quality of dental work is alright but you have to do your own due diligence.

I have been in the Channing dental with Dr. Hites for 25 years. He was a good doctor and Channing…read moredental was good a good office. But lately my experience with the office have been awful. They refuse to do "Preop" It means that they refuse to send it to your insurance so you would find out how much is covered. Instead they give you some random number, that they think it would cover. And it is usually a wrong number.They put a pressure on me to pay in full before the procedure, telling that it would cost me more if I did not pay in full weeks before the expensive procedure would happen. When Insurance partially reimburses you it goes to them again even though it was paid in full. If you have an insurance make sure it is written somewhere that it pays you and not them. And then you have to call them again and again to get your insurance reimbursement There is a lot of confusion in the office. They make an appointment and then when you arrive on time tell you that you were not scheduled. When you ask to talk to the manager Marissa they say she was not there, she will call you. She does not return your call. Dr.Hites himself became too expensive and does not always tell you a price for the procedure before he does it. In other words a total disappointment.

The dentist came in and inspected my teeth and said I had two cavities that I needed to fill. I was…read moreskeptical as I have been going to a dentist on schedule since I was young. I took my x-rays and pictures back to another 2 dentists and they said while it's technically a small cavity, it's an over diagnosis to do a filling on it as cavities of that size can be maintained forever and doing a filling is over invasive. The hygienist definitely rushed only doing 50% of my teeth before stopping. It was like 20 min total, teeth still felt dirty after that cleaning. Also they expected me to pay a deposit to reserve a cavity filling appointment... Everyone was friendly, but the care was not top notch

Dr. Garden and Brenda are a dynamic duo operating a warm, friendly dental practice. I have…read morenightmares about my teeth falling out so it means a lot to have a knowledgeable dental team that's thorough and ensures my teeth and gums are in good health. Compared to other dental practices, this one doesn't have the latest flashy technology (cushy chairs, TVs above the patient chair, and other shiny equipment). None of this is necessary, but it's an added bonus in case you're looking for that type of dental experience. One improvement I would suggest is to create an email or text notification to manage appointments and reminders. I often get a reminder phone call 1 day before my appointment and by then, I may have scheduled over the time slot (my bad). My schedule is dynamic so having an easy way to change appointments without playing phone tag with Brenda could be beneficial for everyone.

My visits with Dr. Garden and Brenda have always been seamless. It shows that Dr. Garden and Brenda have been working together for many many years. As a team not only are they efficient and in-sync, but their rapport makes for a light and pleasant atmosphere in the office. Both of them are extremely easy to talk to! Not to mention, Dr. Garden accepts the UC Berkeley Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP). As a student, I recommend her to all of my friends and peers at the university!
