Fear of dentistry be gone!!!!! Thank you thank you to Dr Henley and his staff for renewing my faith…read morein dentistry! Honest, friendly, approachable, reasonable, fair, and just an overall amazing human are the best ways I can describe Dr Henley. My 14 year old son had such a horrible dental experience that he literally hit our last dentist during a numbing procedure. After one visit with Dr Henley, he actually became fearless of the dentist! I, myself, have had a lot of dental work done. They have been so flexible with my work schedule. The staff made me feel right at home. Once paralyzed with fear, now I sleep through most procedures! My daughter will come down on her breaks from college in Sacramento to squeeze in her cleanings and treatments. The staff always accommodates her schedule. For a top notch dental experience, shop no further. Dr Henley is where you want to go!

Unfortunately I would not recommend this dentist anymore…read more I have been going to this dentist for around 20 years. This place has gone down hill the last few years... The wait to get seen can be up to 6 months. This was the case when I had to reschedule. I guess they were low on staff or punishing me. I don't know if it is because the dentist doesn't pay his staff enough or or what. But darn near every time my wife and I are in, he has new staff. A revolving door of new staff never seems to be a good sign. As for Dr. Chera he is a friendly but not overly friendly person. He definitely has the feeling of being in a rush when he comes in the room. He is very knowledgeable and try's to connect your whole health with your teeth. Very minimal contact with the dentist, on checkups he pokes his head in and looks at the x-rays pokes around in your mouth real quick gives a few notes and is OUT! For the last 5-6 years he must be partially retired because he is rarely in the office to look at your teeth or X-rays. When he was in his old office before he bought his current location it felt like he was trying to make a name for himself and went the extra mile. He would go out of his way to stop in and say hi and chop up a little conversation. He was ALWAYS in the office. He didn't exude the feeling of being in a rush. The funniest part of him acting all rushed is sometimes his personal office door is open and he's just kicking back in his office. In a rush to get back to your solitaire game or something? He isn't overly pushy about filling cavities that don't need, but his staff are not so much. Example the Dr. Says we need to keep an eye on a couple teeth and I'm like ok, he says it's no rush like you need a filling now. The staff asks if I would like a quote, I was like sure may as well see what I'm getting into since insurance is a joke these days and doesn't cover the whole job!!! The front desk gives me a quote and then calls like every 2 months asking if I want to schedule the filling. Sheesh the dentist just said we want to keep an eye on it not that I needed it done. Then I get a notice that they are dropping our delta dental insurance because they don't pay enough... sheesh I already have to pay the difference what else do they want! My wife calls them up just to be courteous and let them know that we will not need our dental appointments in the future. The lady asks why and then says we aren't dumping your insurance for another month, do you want to schedule those fillings before we don't accept your insurance... Hell no! We have been loyal patients for a huge portion of your working career and we are kicked to the curb?! You are still trying to push one last squeeze of our money before we go... Sorry the relationship is over. You aren't the nice family dentist that I reffered so many patients to. You are just resting on the existing clients and doing the bare minimum to keep the money rolling in. It's a shame this place was great for 15 years!

STAY AWAY! This guy is old and has old equipment. Now, being an older dentist could (and should) be…read morea good thing. I appreciate experience. But, SENILE is another story. He makes off-color jokes while you are in the chair that would have some (albeit, overly sensitive) folks running away screaming sexual misconduct! Me? Well, I can handle "old school sensiblities." But when you start making care and payment arrangement promises your front office won't honor, then we have a problem. Even if we forgive all that, his front office is a mess. MESS! Conversations with them border on surreal! They made a payment arrangement with me that they later decided they did not want to honor. My fault for not getting it in writing I guess. When I could not pay them what they suddenly were demanding, they refused to see me. EVEN THOUGH WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF ROOT CANAL PROCEDURE! They told me to come back when I have money, that the temporary crown would last for 6 months or more (FALSE!). Anyway, there is a lot more to this story, but I won't bore you. Suffice to say, if dental malpractice were an easy avenue, I would drive down it. Regardless, if you are reading this, you are probably considering Dr. Streutker as a new patient. He is close to retirement and has made all the money he hoped to make. He is now happy working a couple days a week seeing his old patients - it probably pays his country club fees. He doesn't need you and trust me, YOU DON'T NEED HIM!

Not only used more advanced (comfortable) x-rays, but he used a special oral camera that found tiny cracks (from silver fillings), tapped my teeth, measured my gum loss and even used a special laser that checked for hidden decay. He was more thorough and more professional than any other dentist I've ever seen. I've never had such modern equipment used, nor experienced such a high level of expertise. So would I recommend him to my friends? Heck yeah!!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. ALFORD! (But only to my friends)

Lyn the office manager, (short for she never went to college and sits on her booty all day) is so behind in the times that she does not use internet to get her patients information. She mailed us a letter stating that she spoke to Delta Dental over the phone regarding my husbands benefits and they gave her the wrong information. How about getting an email or a fax of something in writing so you can see the benefits? But no, this lady depends on good old fashioned word of mouth. So now since they are stuck with an outstanding balance we have to pay for it. However how come they didn't let us know when we were waiting two hours listening to Dr. Romero chat away on the phone about his ski weekend get a way. Lyn called me today and I told her we were not going to pay. Let her move forward with this and I will take her and Dr. Romero to court. Did I mention that my family is a bunch of nasty successful lawyers, and they are good friends with plenty of UCSF dentist who are so much better than these phonies? Oh and by the way, one of the hygienist must smoke because her hands through her gloves smelled of cigarettes and it was so nasty. I feel sorry for the young dentist who works there because he is going to be forever associated with this office and the scams they pull on patients. Also I tried to get me xrays sent to a new dentist and they would not release the xrays. What a joke!
