Largely thanks to Dr Sai and Sally I'm now in the preventative mode as it were with no serious issues. So I haven't needed to see Dr Tsai for a while but I always feel especially comfortable in his care If needed. In the meantime hygenist Sally has been doing an incredible job , as always, keeping my teeth clean and in good shape while watching out for any problems, EG no more fives and sixes , If you get back drift, and very few cavities for someone who is prone to them. And also a shout out to Tara and Kylie and the front staff who are also incredible at what they do. Thank you all. Looks like another good year, certainly dental- wise

I've been a patient of Dr. Eric Tsai for several years now, and I can genuinely say I'm grateful…read morefor the care I've received from him and his team. I have very high anxiety when it comes to any dental procedure, and I also have extremely sensitive gums and an overall low pain tolerance. Despite that, I continue to come back because I always feel treated with kindness and patience. Dr. Tsai performed gum surgery for me, and I truly believe it made a significant improvement in my gum health and appearance. I also go in for regular deep cleanings, which are never easy for me, but the staff is always understanding, especially when I flinch or tear up from the discomfort. The only thing I'd hope to see improved is the way my sensitivity is addressed during treatment--I understand it's unusual to be this sensitive, but frequent comments about it can sometimes make me feel more self-conscious. That said, I know they mean well and are doing their best to keep me calm. Overall, I trust Dr. Tsai with my periodontal care and am thankful to have a provider who understands how stressful dental work can be for someone like me. Highly recommend to anyone, especially those who need a compassionate touch.

I had a consultation at Diablo Periodontics about a year ago and confirmed multiple times (at least…read morethree phone calls) beforehand that my insurance would cover the visit. I was told yes each time. Fast forward a year later -- I suddenly receive a bill for the consultation. When I called to ask why I was being charged after being assured it was covered, the woman who answered the phone was extremely rude and dismissive. She simply said, "Insurance didn't cover it. You have a balance. You can pay it or not." There was no explanation, no apology, and absolutely no transparency. When I asked to speak with someone else for clarification, she said her manager would call me back and then hung up on me -- which has never happened to me before in a medical setting. Being hung up on by a healthcare provider's office is completely unprofessional and unacceptable. Overall, this office was not transparent, not patient-focused, and showed very poor customer service. I would not recommend Diablo Periodontics to anyone looking for clear communication, honesty, and respect.

Dr. Maher is, quite simply, a tooth-saving artist -- and a real mensch…read more Not only is he an exceptional dentist, he actually makes his own crowns. That level of craftsmanship and precision is rare these days. You're not just getting dental work outsourced to a lab -- you're getting a doctor who takes full ownership of the outcome. The fit, the comfort, the aesthetics -- all outstanding. But what truly sets Dr. Maher apart is who he is as a person. He's deeply kind, ethical, and thoughtful in how he treats patients. As someone who values integrity and character, I can say he embodies it. He takes the time to explain options, never pressures, and genuinely wants to save your teeth whenever possible rather than rush to more aggressive procedures. A true tooth savior. The office staff? Warm, organized, and welcoming. They run on time and treat you like a human being, not a billing code. The dental hygienist is equally excellent -- thorough, gentle, and clearly committed to doing great work. If you want a dentist who combines skill, craftsmanship, and old-school decency, Dr. Maher is your guy. Five stars without hesitation.

I went camping over Labor Day weekend. I noticed sharp pain on my back tooth. It was horrible. I…read moretook 3 Tylenols every 4 hours to help reduce the pain. Tylenol only helped 50% of the pain and I hard time sleeping. There was no cell service at the camping site. Upon my return back home, I did not hesitate to call Dr. Lacrampe's office. Marie, the receptionist, was able to make an appointment the following week. Thank you for the great customer service for a semi-emergency visit. I knew the tooth needed to be extracted. At my appointment, Dr. Lacrampe examined the back tooth and agreed it needed to be removed. Apparently, I had a big abscess, and my tooth was still loose. He and his SUPER-STAR assistant, Tracy, were able to help calm my anxiety. I hate getting shots. Tracy held my hand to comfort me. Both DR. And Tracy distracted me by talking about life while the procedure was being done. P.S. I'm not sure why recently a few YELPERS gave Dr. Lacrample's office low reviews. Sometimes people are just complainers. As an Elite YELPER, I believe in honesty and fair reviews.

I was referred to Dr Martin by my own dentist as my gumlines have started to recede. Yay. :(…read more I was apprehensive at the appointment because I was thinking worst case scenario and that I would need gum grafts, an expensive and painful procedure. After my exam, Dr. Martin surprised me by saying that my gums really aren't in that bad of shape and that he didn't recommend taking any action at this time. He also said that he does not do gum grafts using the patient's own tissue any longer, that he uses artificially grown grafts. This cuts down on the pain significantly since you do not have to have a chunk taken out of the roof of your mouth and then stitched closed. He pulled out his iPad and showed me a nifty little video of the whole process. Then he took all the time I needed to discuss and answer all my questions. I never once felt rushed or got the impression that I was taking up too much of his time. If I do need work down the line, I will definitely return. Dr. Martin earned my confidence and trust right off the bat with his honesty and straightforward approach.

My family member needed a LANAP laser gum surgery and I helped to do the research. There were nine…read moreoffices that do this surgery in San Francisco & East Bay and I called all of them. The price varies greatly ($3000 - $9000) for the same service . After I eliminated four providers from my basic research we visited the other five in person and met with the doctors. We chose Dr. Martin because he seemed to be the most knowledgeable and professional and his price is somewhere in the middle. It also helps that Dr. Martin and his staff are very nice and caring. It's almost three weeks after the surgery now and everything is great. P.S. Most of the general dentists charge higher fees than periodontists for the LANAP gum surgery (same amount of time, same machine, same procedure) and I don't understand why. Maybe they get less usage on the machine so they need to recoup more machine cost from each patient?? Anyway I'd rather use a periodontist for the gum surgery especially since their prices are even a little lower.

my grandpa came here for his dental implants and he came away very satisfied with the results…read more we've known the dentists for many years and of course when it came time for grandpa to have major work done, we recommended he try our dentists Dr Vu and Dr Leung. i don't know the exact particulars even though i drove him on a few appts but he really thought the process was easier than he imagined. glad it worked out for him but it's always good to know good dentists.

My dad finally decided to get dental implants after suffering through his dentures for a few years…read more  He complained of them being loose and not being able to eat and enjoy food and most importantly for him, feeling like an old grandpa.  If you know my dad, he's not a grandpa, still bigger than life and still runs 20 miles and swims 100 laps a week. He asked my sister and I to do the research and find him the best dentist to perform this all-important job for him as he had saved his money the last 2 years.  The first 2 places, Clear Choice and a well known oral surgeon in the area he disliked and dismissed immediately.  He said it reminded him of the time share sales pitches we experienced in Mexico.  We finally decided to ask our family dentist Dr Leung for a recommendation and surprisingly he said he did these full mouth implants in his office and has done them for many years.  He showed us his cases during a consultation with my dad, my mom, and I and our family decision was to go with him as we've always trusted him, and he did not overpromise.  6 months later, my dad has 8 implants on top and 6 implants at the bottom supporting his dental crowns, and he smiles and eats like a young man again.  We are glad we made our family decision to go with Dr Leung and he made the process easy and comfortable for my dad.  No surprises, everything as planned.
