After 15 years with Dr Ota, the new dentist just dropped my insurance like that, forcing me to have to look for a new dentist.

As a UC Berkeley student, I was referred to Campus Dental Care by the Tang Center. I was honestly…read morevery anxious about going to the dentist, but from the moment I arrived I had such a great experience. The entire team was welcoming, kindand made me feel very comfortable and well taken care of. Dr. Nima was wonderful! He really listened to my concerns and he was very thorough and made me feel completely at ease throughout my visit. I never felt rushed or uncomfortable which I really appreciated. I also had my cleaning done and the whole process went smoothly. They even made sure to schedule my next cleaning for six months from now before I left. I'm very happy I was referred here and would definitely recommend Campus Dental Care, especially to other UC Berkeley students or anyone who feels anxious about going to the dentist!

They missed my appointment and no sorry , only I made her say sorry to me ! Student money is way too easy for them to make ! They just called and said they will not be able to see me anymore , because I left bad review ! I thought the good cause of leaving review is to improve service ! Oh well , not this CAMPUS dental Care !

Thank you, Dr. Irving (who also happens to be a Cal alum) for taking care of my student at…read moreBerkeley! 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!

Dr Greggory Irving extracted a broken tooth for me today. He was very informative; discussed the…read moreoptions for a bone graft and implant. The procedure was painless and, four hours later, I am still without pain or swelling and I opted for only a local injection for the procedure. Thank you, Dr. Irving for a painless experience.

Dr. Jessica Ngo is a thoroughly impressive dentist who has innumerable, diversified skills, along with the ability to communicate the needs and options available to patients. I was particularly pleased with how she handled my whole case and would recommend this professional without reservation.

It took three phone calls to even get an email address for them so I could send my prior x-rays. In office, the hygienist struggled to access the x-rays. Then she tells me their phone/email system is handled by someone in Pakistan: huge red flag. Is that HIPAA complaint? That's if you're a lucky new patient. Existing patient calls are answered by an AI agent. I know many won't notice or care about this, but I found the AI voice wildly off-putting and misogynist. The LLM imitates the voice of a teenager with intense vocal fry, bored affect, and unprofessional slang. Given how much AI is used for pornography, I believe this AI was trained on pornographic content. Fine if you're into that, but as a woman I don't think I should have to interact with porn just to call my dentist. I was irritated by all of this but wanted to give them a try anyway. Unfortunately, their medical service is also low quality. The dentist exam was very brief. He ordered an x-ray and then didn't even look at it, but instead accepted the hygienist's interpretation. I know this because there is no privacy in the office and you can hear all conversations between staff and other patients. Immediately after, I get an email that my follow up appointment was scheduled for a procedure I never consented to. When I replied stating I did not schedule this appointment, I was told that their AI system schedules these automatically. They also have a fairly harsh cancelation policy - $50 fee for cancelling with 72 hours, longer than industry standards. It seems they just make appointments without consent from patients in hopes of collecting fraudulent fees. I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau about this practice, which I do not think should be legal. I have nothing positive to recommend about this place. Lesson: never ignore red flags and get your teeth cleaned elsewhere.

As I look in the mirror following everything that he has done for my teeth, and thought back to the condition my teeth were in when I began this adventure, I was truly amazed at my improvements. I no longer hesitate to smile, for that I am thankful for him. The only regret I have is that I didn't see him sooner! Thank you Dr. Harrison

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!

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 waited to write a review about Dr. Hites until we had some time and experience under our belt…read morewith him. I researched Bio Dentistry and on a recommendation from my naturopathic doctor chose Dr. Hites. He has replaced all of my mercury as well as my husbands with skillful precaution and has also treated my daughter's complicated mouth issues with compassion, grace and patience. He is grounded, calm, and professional and has an excellent bedside manner. We feel safe in his care and relieved to have a dentist who is knowledgeable and up to date on alternative health modalities without ever making us feel wrong that we didn't know. For example, I had no idea the extreme importance of nose breathing which Dr. Hites educated me about and he supports the way I aspire to nourish my family, with nutrient dense food and no processed food. While he is efficient and business like and not a person who lingers or inquires into our personal life experience, he does provide a very high quality level of care and I have now referred him to several of my friends and colleagues. A special shout out to Patricia, one of his assistants who makes my daughter feel like the most important person on earth. She is a saint and a warm hearted love bug who makes up for the lack of enthusiasm that a couple of the other staff lack. It's all nicely balanced. One minor negative issue is that I have at times felt a little bothered with one of the staff who is curt and less than friendly but I try to grant her her innocence since all of the other staff are for the most part gracious. I am grateful we found our dentist and I highly recommend him. He can be trusted and gives excellent care.

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.

If you're looking for the best possible outcome with your teeth and smile, Dr. Au's a must! I've…read morerarely come across someone so committed and focused on doing all she can to achieve the best results. She runs her practice with keen attention to all details. In addition, her staff are so nice, which adds up to a very pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately, I wound up here after a bad experience with a previous dentist, reviewed in 2021. Even though I'm not at all interested in having cosmetic dentistry done, a bad chain of decisions on my part, trusting a dentist who I didn't realize at the time, was leading me towards cosmetic work, left me needing it (ironic). That experience led me to change my long term dentist, who in turn, recommended Dr. Au, for work he wasn't able to provide. I resisted completing the work begun by my past dentist for years after my bad experience. Finally, about two months ago, I decided to just deal with it and be done. Prior to that, I just kept coming here every year or two, so that she could make my four temporary veneers look less stained. The idea of shaving down healthy teeth to install expensive permanent crowns for cosmetic reasons, isn't my thing. As I mention in my 2021 review of that dentist, I'm from the '60's, a time when people weren't as concerned about having perfect looking teeth. I actually find real, healthy looking teeth, that have some character, refreshing. I was a bit surprised by how much goes into getting permanent crowns. It's a big investment in both time and money. I feel that Dr. Au made it the most affordable it could be. My four new teeth look great, especially after living with those stained temporary veneers for so long. Hopefully now I can put all this behind me. Be careful who you trust!

You can tell she is very intelligent and detailed oriented to her patients. She asks questions to make sure she understands fully before giving her advice. She is very soft spoken and polite but a leader and knows when she needs to take control. It was $237 without insurance but they let us know that for our insurance we can send the receipt and bill them. Not sure if that applies to everyone but we have Alameda alliance. Parking was very easy and spacious as they have their own parking lot. 10/10 would recommend

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!
