Dr Ansari is the greatest dental Doctor in the world. I had A deep cleaning on March 18, 2026 No pain, no medication. She is so gentle, all the time she was working on me all I could think and say to myself is that I trust her. God bless her!! Bishop Andre Jackson read more

Dr. Ansari is a skilled and compassionate dentist who provides honest diagnoses, unlike some others. The office staff and medical assistants are always pleasant to talk to. I strongly recommend this practice. read more

I love Berkeley Hills dental care! They have consistently provided me with excellent dental care for over 15 years. They take my insurance, billing is affordable and easy to understand. They are very gentle and caring, welcoming people. I also explain things well. I can get appointments when I need them without having to wait too long. The practice is clean and accessible. The location is convenient, on Woolsey near telegraph, near bus lines. Dr. Fariba Pour-Ansari And her staff are the very best I've seen in dental care. I am so grateful for them. read more

Excellent experience with Dr. Fariba and her knowledgeable staff. Transparent, honest, professional and very knowledgeable dentist.

I like this place. It's a bit of old school They are not easy to get a hold of but they don't oversell you on work and are in network read more

Outstanding Dental Experience! I recently visited Dr. Ansari at Berkeley Hills Dental Group and had an outstanding experience from start to finish. From the moment I walked in the staff was warm and professional and made me at ease. The waiting area was clean and comfortable and I was seen right on time. Dr. Ansari was fantastic-through, gentle, and took the time to explain everything in detail. I had a cleaning and X-rays and both were done with precision and care. The hygienist (Soukie) was amazing making sure I was comfortable throughout the appointment. What really stood out was the modern technology they use, which made the process smoother and more efficient. The entire team was attentive, answering all my questions and ensuring I left with a clear understanding of my dental health. I like to give a shout out to Jose, front desk who help me navigate my insurance coverage! If your looking for a dentist who combines expertise with a patient centered approach, I highly recommend Dr. Ansari at Berkeley Hills Dental Group. My wife and I have been with Berkeley Hills Dental since 2012. read more

I have NEVER been a fan of going to the dentist. Other dentists' offices I had gone to before had always seemed a little pretentious. But this place feels different, it's comfortable, the staff is so down to earth and friendly. I don't feel judged and I don't get lectured. Everyone seems like they care about their work. And the best part, it's the least painful cleaning I've ever had! Oh and their plants are very well loved, which adds a layer of care the staff brings to the space. I actually look forward to getting my teeth cleaned now!! read more

Dr Ansari and team are great. My family and I have been going there for over 10 years. In addition to being very skilled, they are kind and attend to your well being. Highly recommended! read more

So many years ago, I "discovered" Dr. Ansari's credentials and background. Very impressive. She has treated me many times for existing dental issues, and, importantly, to avoid further issues. Her skills are always obvious and her ability to care about the patients' comfort and well-being are so welcome. And then there are her staff...so competent and kind. Who really wants to go to the dentist? Well, I mostly look forward to the pleasant banter both with her outstanding staff as well as between the staff and Dr. Ansari. Of course, the quality and competence are of paramount importance, but my experiences have felt like visiting friends and being so well treated. My thanks to all of these gifted professionals. read more

I've been going to Berkeley Hills Dental for many years, and I have nothing but glowing things to say about them. Dr. Ansari is always so kind and friendly, as are all of the dental technicians. I'm particularly impressed that they are very thorough with cleanings and always seem to give a lot of attention and care, but also are extremely punctual, to the point where I don't remember ever waiting more than 5-10 minutes for my appointment, and generally not even that long. A few times Dr. Ansari has raised the idea of different procedures (e.g. planar scaling for gum disease), but she's never pushed them aggressively. She always seems to have the ethos of trying to get me to fix issues with the gentlest solution, like better brushing or flossing, before resorting to more invasive options. I think that's a huge plus. Street parking is easy, and I've never had trouble making appointments, so overall no issues with logistics. I've referred people to their practice, and never heard anyone have a bad experience. They've kept my teeth in great health, and it's all been easy and pleasant -- not sure what else I could ask for! read more

I am coming here since 2007, so safe to say I know these folks very well. For many years I have lived across the water in San Francisco, but I drive all the way to Berkeley in my (now fixed) Suburu because I trust Berkeley Hills Dental so much. Dentists are all very competent and friendly and I must say, they have A+ dental assistants who have always helped me when I have inevitably the anxiety before and during procedures. Always I say "I will need very much the Novocain! I feel the pain strongly" And they always know this but mostly just calm me down and give me the normal amount. They must have in my file some crazy notes. One time I park near there and was getting myself together in my car, sweating and almost crying from anxiety. I finally walk up all the stairs and enter the office. "Hi Pasquale!" my most favorite assistant said and she stopped and said "are you okay? We're just doing a cleaning today, so nothing to worry about. The hard part over now that you are here." This really helped me. I sat down in the waiting area chair. I looked at a young lady who smiled at me and asked me if I was an actor. "Yes, but don't tell anyone I was here, ok." Who knows who she thought I was, but my guess is Anthony Hopkin. Anyways. My teeth are a mess, I will not lie to you. For many years I ate candy as I was going to bed and did not brush my teeth. I did not care. They tell me I have angel on my shoulder because I should have no teeth. So, you hear now: Angels are real. read more

My husband Jack Shoemaker has recently finished a several years' long treatment plan for restoration of his dental work, damaged when he and I we're hit by a car in a crosswalk. This work was almost infinitely complicated and many would have been too dismayed by the complexity to pursue it to a beautiful outcome. Not Dr. Ansari and Jose and everyone else at Berkeley Hills Dental. We so love these talented patient, kind and resourceful people! Since July 2021, despite Covid and various complications that arose, these professionals have CARED for my husband and I'm happy to say he can eat with ease and pleasure and smile at me in his original and wonderful way! read more

Dr. Ansari is an amazing dentist. I don't know that I've ever had strong feelings about my dentists in the past. She is not just efficient and good at her job, she is very kind and considerate. I really appreciate that she is honest about what work or services you might need, and never tries to push more than that on you. Jose, who works the front desk, does a fantastic job. The other staff I have interacted with have also all been great. One thing, it's definitely a busy place--likely because people who come here once will keep coming back. As a result, you have to book early given that they are very busy. Appointments also occasionally start a bit later than scheduled. For the service though, it feels more than worth it. read more

It's been a minute since I've written a review but had update my last one for Berkeley Hills Dental Care. For over a decade Dr.Ansari and her team has kept the family and friends oral health in top notch condition! We sure didn't make it easy, with all the candy and junk food and occasional not brushing our teeth and if there' was a problem. We got fixed up right. Dr.Ansari and Berkeley Hills Dental Care team are very knowledgeable, professional yet friendly and make us feel like family. Thank you for all hard work over the years and see y'all in 6 months!!! Rock stars!!!!!!! read more

Dr Ansari is a gem. In addition to being technically proficient, she is also extremely caring, gentle and considerate. One of the things I appreciate the most is that unlike my previous dentist, Dr Ansari never tries to sell me something I don't really need (even if it would benefit her financially). The staff is also fabulous. Suki, Dr Ansari's right-hand assistant, not only does great work, but manages to make me laugh -- something you don't expect during a dental procedure. Jose, the office manager, actively looks for ways to save me money. Miriam, at the front desk, is helpful and welcoming. I'd give Berkeley Hills Dental 6 stars if I could. read more

DONT GO TO BERKELEY HILLS DENTAL Dr. Ansari is incompetent and can't fix a tooth. BEWARE! Some healthcare workers are shady. And she is one of them. The point of a review is to state whether you're services a person received were good or bad! And being unethical is a BAD BUSINESS PRACTICE! read more

I have entrusted my dental health care to Dr. Ansari and her wonderful staff for more than 20 years. She is a gracious and gentle doctor. I have had dentists before her and after. During COVID I was forced to see other dentists. When I returned to Dr. Ansari and her office I was deeply relieved to be back with people who I trusted and who cared about me. Comparing them I have experience how far superior Dr. Ansari, her technicians and office staff are above all the others. They are professional and care about their patients. The are worthy of my trust as they have never tried to upsell me or suggest work that is not needed. She is honest. They are caring. If you can get her as your dentist, you will be very lucky and very happy. I just read all the reviews and see that they all have the same high regard for Dr. Ansari, Suki and Jose that I have. They deserve the gold medal for excellence in dental health care and patient service. read more

Best dentist I've ever had by far. Dr. Ansari and her staff are incredibly nice. My teeth are always flawless after their cleaning. I drive 20 miles from Lafayette because I've tried practices on that side of the tunnel and they are always pushing unneeded procedures and product. You won't get that nonsense from Dr. Ansari and I've trusted her for 15 years now as a result. read more

Ok, many years later, I can update this review and wish I could leave a NEGATIVE 5 star review. The cavities he had filled were minor and in the center of the molars. But instead of cleaning out the cavity and putting a small filling in them, he basically cut a deep groove from front to back through the whole tooth, and filled it in with the filling material. I was shocked when I realized this but he told me how this was the best way to do it, blah, blah, blah. At that point it was done and there wasnt anything I could do, so I just left. Now I understand what he meant when he said it was the best way. By doing this and weakening the tooth, both teeth he did this to, have now completely cracked because he basically cut them in half to "fix" a minor cavity. In the end, I needed to get implants and crowns on both of those. So it was the best way for him to set me up to pay for a couple of expensive vacations for him down the road. Unfortunately for him, I refused to ever go back to this place after that and the money I had to spend went to a dentist who was actually reputable, talented, and competent. read more

Had a minor dental emergency a few months back, and got connected with Berkeley Hills Dental. They saw me right away treated me kindly and with empathy for my situation. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, which made my unfortunate tooth situation into a great resolve. I hope I'm in the clear of dental problems, but if something does ever come up again, I'll be going to see them. Special thanks to Maryam and Dr. Ansari - true gems! read more

EXCELLENT service and EXCELLENT people. I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Ansari and Maryam, in which they were both FANTASTIC! They took AMAZING care of my dental work, and they did it with CARE and KINDNESS. It is always a GREAT experience working with them. read more

My wife and I have been patients with Berkeley Hills Dental Care for over 5 years. From the start Jose has efficiently handled all our dental insurance authorizations & billings. We are grateful for Dr. Ansari as she is both professional and compassionate. Suki, the hygienist, always recalls and treats us as friends. Both my wife and I were health care professionals and appreciate the genuine care and welcoming accessibility provided during these times, thru the COVID Pandemic and with all the challenges facing private practices. read more

Dr. Ansari and Dr. Watu are highly professional and extremely caring. I just had a cleaning and filling appointment with Dr. Ansari and my wife with Dr. Watu. Both offer honest and competent examinations and are exceedingly pleasant. Josefina, our dental hygienist, was attentive and encouraging. Kiani and Jose at the front desk are a great help in setting up appointments and disentangling insurance questions. The Berkeley Hills team definitely deserves five stars! read more

Recently had an old crown fall out and these guys took great care of the emergency. They took pains to schedule me in and even notified me when a more convenient time became available, even though I was already scheduled. The office staff is super friendly: every time I've been there the place is full of laughter. Laughter in a dentist office? They must be doing something right! read more

We have been going to Berkeley Hills Dental for over 20 years. Dr. Ansari and the staff are most professional, very caring and cheerful. We have had some complicated things done and have been very pleased with the results. We always recommend Berkeley Hills Dental to our friends, and what we have heard back from them has been very positive as well. read more

Got excellent care from both Dr. Tahiri and Dr. Ansari. They were very professional and had a gentle touch. The front office manager and staff were also excellent. I'm very happy with the work that was done and I highly recommend. Thank you Berkeley Hills! read more

Dr. Ansari is the kindest and most driven dentist I've ever met. She genuinely cares about all of her patients and their needs, and always greets me with such a warm smile. I have been seeing her for years now, and I've never felt so cared for by a healthcare worker. you can tell she's been doing this job for many years because she is so intelligent and knowledgeable about her field. She has performed various procedures on my teeth and I love my smile now because of her.I love her staff as well. They always make me feel so welcomed and always address my concerns. read more

I have been coming here for almost 10 years. The admin staff are kind and efficient. The hygienists are sweet, kind and great at their Jobs. Dr Ansari is an absolute ANGEL. She's so gentle and an excellent dentist. Because of her I no longer dread going to the dentist. Location is easy to get to and parking is a breeze. Big thumbs up for Berkeley Hills Dental practice! read more

I transferred to a different dentist, so have been trying to get in touch with them about sending my medical records over to the new dentist. I left a voicemail, never heard back, and have tried calling their office several times to check back and have never been able to get anyone to answer the phone. It's almost a miracle that I was ever able to get an appointment with them in the first place. read more

They never answer the phone. This place takes my insurance so I keep going there, but to ever get an appointment I have to call 7-9 times over several days. They will never call you back. Then when you try to make a follow up appointment while you are there IN THE OFFICE you also have to hunt someone down to help you. It is not easy. read more

I love, love, love Dr. Tehari at Berkeley Hills Dental. He has been taking great care of my mouth for many years. Before I found my way there I was extremely phobic of all things dental, but his sweet and kind demeanor and gentle touch keep me coming back every 6 months for cleanings and care. Today he replaced an old filling for me and it was the least painful novocaine injection I've ever received. And he waited plenty of time for it to kick in before starting the procedure. I'm in pre-mourning for when he eventually retires. Thank you, as always, Dr. Tehari for your excellent and thoughtful care. read more

UPDATE: I returned for another service and José (office manager?) thanked me for my Yelp review and explained the Covid safety set up, showing me the many air purifiers in use. It was helpful and I have a lot more confidence in the safety of the space. So, changing the review to five stars. So far so good. I'm a new patient because my new dental insurance doesn't allow me to go to my longtime dentist. Reception staff was friendly and competent and answered the phone the times I have called (so far...) Dr. Pour-Ansari seemed knowledgeable, competent and had a nice bedside manner. The dental assistant (can't remember her name) was lovely. The first exam I got was very thorough. The only hesitation I have is that it is an open floor plan exam area, and with Covid and patient masks (necessarily, due to dental work) off, there is not really adequate separation/ventilation between patients. My old dentist had individual exam rooms, which seems safer. Will update this if I run into any issues. read more

My dentist Dr. Ansara is always pleasant, skillful and knowledgeable. I've used her services for fourteen years. Her assistant Suki is terrific. The front desk is friendly and helpful. The office is well appointed and efficiently run. read more

This group - dentists and staff - follow good COVID protocols and are customer (patient friendly)! It's an older building, but well coordinated and efficient with getting good, solid dental health care! Thank you, all! J and P read more

My search is over for a new dentist. When I called this office I spoke to Jose. I told him about my two insurances and he told me that they would take both of them. When I told him what I might need he took the time to check both coverage's to be sure I was covered. He was so helpful. I was impressed, so I made an appointment for a consultation and then called Delta Dental Costco and changed my Dentist. The office might not dazzle you with all the latest high-tech equipment. But I think you will be please with the care you receive here. I am so pleased with Dr Teheri. He is gentle and he made me feel very relaxed in the chair. His assistants are friendly. All in all a very professorial office. I was given a printout of 3 options for the workI needed. They did not try to sell me more services than I needed or wanted. That has not happened in years of regular dental appointments. read more

I have been going to this place for many years. To be honest I don't even remember how many, at least 15. Dr Ansari the dental assistance and the people at the office are wonderful. I am so happy with their work and personal attention to details, positive attitude and real care about your well being(!!) that I moved my son from the pediatric dentistry he used to go to when he was 5 years old. I highly recommend this place of integrity and professionalism. I am so thankful for Berkeley Hills Dental for years of care and peace of mind. read more

Before coming to Berkeley hills dental, it had been several years since I had last had a dental check up. I came in concerned about an ongoing tooth situation that would eventually require a dental implant. I was also super nervous that my mouth was full of cavities since it'd been so long since my last check up. From start to finish, everyone was so understanding, welcoming and explained everything in detail which helped to alleviate my anxiety. They are upfront about all costs and present all options for procedures so that I can make my own informed decisions. It's been almost a year now since my dental implant and my dental health has never been better. My implant and crown are absolutely perfect! I genuinely look forward to going to my cleanings now and I owe that to everyone at Berkeley hills dental. This is absolutely a dental office that you can trust to take excellent care of you. read more

When you're limited in what dental care you can afford (i.e. you only have Delta Dental HMO), this is the place to check out. It definitely doesn't have all the bells and whistles of more expensive practices like Penelope Yip's office (which is a great practice but requires delta dental PPO). Ignore the rudeness of the front desk and you'll be just fine. Dr. Taheri and Dr. Ansari are both just fine. read more

We had a fantastic experience with this dentist and everyone who worked there after our son fell off his scooter and broke several teeth. The anxiety over the appearance of his teeth (he is 11) was overwhelming but this office really helped with that and truly delivered on the final services. Would highly recommend. read more

I have never been treated with less patient care in any professional medical setting than through this dentist, whose name (his name) is escaping me. I came in for a filling last year -- not only did I need to end up having the filling replaced (which cost me an additional $180), but I was under severe distress from the procedure and the adrenaline that was in the lidocaine anesthetic. Instead of empathizing and approaching me with proper consideration, his method was aggressive and lacking compassion. The one good thing about this experience was that I was compelled to switch dentists and find someone who delivered better patient care. read more
