I seriously don't understand why everybody gives this place such low reviews. I have been coming…read morehere for four years and they have been nothing but wonderful. And no, I do not work there, and they are not paying me to say this. Yes, they have a bit of turnover with dental assistants and dentists, but that is common all over the country, especially in rural areas and small towns like ours. The front office staff are very flexible and polite when scheduling, and the dentists are very professional and always explain everything they are doing.

My mom had an appointment moment here many years ago before her dentist retired and she loved it…read more He drew out a plan for my mom before any removals of current work she had done and were set to proceed when he left the practice. My mom made another appointment and assumed it was with the same dentist because they did not tell her he retired. When she got there she was scheduled with a female dentist who proceeded to rip what she called "expensive dental work" out of my moms mouth. She said she would prescribe pain meds and antibiotics for my mom but was rude during the entire interaction. When my mom got to the pharmacy, the only thing the dentist prescribed was the antibiotic. My mom called in and asked what happened and the dentist told her she changed her mind and that the pain meds weren't necessary. To take Tylenol. Awful experience, doctor was rude and dismissive. Don't recommend. They don't deserve a single star on their Yelp for current dentists and employees.

The Licensed Nurse Practitioner that I was assigned to at this clinic was very friendly on our first visit. The following visits she became increasingly more abrupt, rude and rushed. I don't need abrupt, rude and rushed, I need healthcare (with emphasis on CARE). If you are that burned out, maybe consider doing something else as a profession. All in all, I was able to get what I needed, but not without doing a great deal of self advocacy which is extremely hard for someone like me with emotional and mental trauma and physical disabilities. It is very hard to leave a doctors appointment you have waited for, for over a month, feeling dismissed and misunderstood, only to have to make multiple follow up calls to the nurse to get things taken care of. Fortunately I have an excellent mental healthcare team not affiliated with hillside, that helped me stay on top of things so I can get the care I needed. Today my wife came home from a visit with the same nurse practitioner and she was crying. She had been fat shamed. This is unacceptable! I am encouraging her to reach out and report this incident.

Fantastic dentist! Dr. Ashiku treats not only the teeth, but considers the patient as a whole and…read moreis a very empathic and skilled dentist. Both my wife and I have had to have extensive dental work, and we have, throughout our lives, experienced many different dentists. I do not hesitate to say that Dr. Elizabeth Ashiku is at the top of our lists both in terms of perfectionism/capability AND personality/chairside manner.

I live in Berkeley but had until recently only been unable to find a good dentist there and have…read moreinstead been seeing Dr. Elizabeth Ashiku whenever I can travel to Ukiah to see her. She is a really great, extremely reliable dentist (wonderful, hyper detail oriented, ultra ultra conscientious--and friendly and kind). Recently Dr Elizabether Ashiku did me a great service. She saved my tooth when a negligent exam from a Berkeley dentist (holly wieber) caused me to almost lose that tooth. I could tell something was off when I saw doctor weiber and so I went to get a 2nd opinion from Dr Ashiku because she's so flawlessly reliable. I sat in the dental chair for a visit that stretched to three hours as Dr Ashiku valiantly tried to clean up the mess dr wieber had left behind. She kept saying "I think we can save the tooth," and "You may have to have a root canal; lets see what we can do." She did save my tooth and after a vitality test my tooth is still okay, three months after the initial crisis. Dr Ashiku is extremely alert, informed, and conscientious. Also she makes me feel genuinely valued and liked. It's often been quite inconvenient for me to have to schedule dental appointments in Ukiah though I live in Berkeley, but I think that so long as I can travel to Ukiah, I will continue to see Dr Ashiku, even if a new dentist I found in Berk turns out to be pretty good. Dr Ashiku is about as fastidiously reliable a dentist as you will ever find. My husband recommended her to me and she's been taking excellent care of our teeth for years. If keeping your teeth is a priority for you, go see Dr Elizabeth Ashiku.
