Hello! We moved here about 8 months ago and started going to Select Dental with Dr. Mola. I've…read morealways struggled with dental anxiety and honestly disliked most dentists I've been to, but this office completely changed that for me. I'll probably stay here forever and recommend them to everyone. The office is clean, upscale, the fountain is my favorite, honest, and they never try to upsell unnecessary treatments. They simply take care of you. Everyone on the staff is incredibly kind, gentle, and patient, which makes a huge difference for someone like me who gets nervous about dental visits. What really stands out is how much they genuinely care about their patients. They've even given my teenage boys life advice during visits. You're not just a number here--they truly get to know you. If you ever have to wait for a specialist, it's because some travel in from out of state. I've always appreciated their transparency and patience with scheduling. In the past 8 months, I've had three fillings, a root canal (with a referral), and a completed repair with Dr. Mola. I also go in every three months for cleanings to stay on track, even though my insurance only covers two per year. The office has been helpful in explaining payments and working with me on anything not covered. Sorry for the long review, but it's an honest one. I'm truly grateful for this team. https://www.selectdentalonline.com

Prior experiences led to me switching from an HMO plan to a PPO plan, and I was quite fortunate to come across Dr. Jas on the insurance directory and Yelp. The 5 star reviews are very well-deserved. PFD is very transparent with their pricing and Dr. Jas is a wonderful dentist. She's very sweet and thorough and does a great job explaining procedures and dental hygiene practices. The front desk staff are also very polite and welcoming and are thorough with going over forms and invoices. They have a free parking lot behind their building that you can access through Pacific. I had a cleaning appointment, as well as a crown preparation appointment, and I'll have my next appt within a week for my crown placement. My crown prep appointment took about 1.5 hrs this morning and Dr. Jas explained what she was doing throughout the procedure and was very gentle and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

My situation is unique, so I will save you the long story/rant. After much intensive research, I found that Dr. Lau had the best reviews in all of the East Bay. I was apprehensive because our dental insurance had been deactivated due to budget cuts from this new administration. I was left despirit and in despair trying to find a quality dentist I could trust with my family of 6 with medical conditionsand disabilities. Coincidentally, my tooth chipped to reveal a cavity which needed to be filled before it hit a nerve. A week later, I found myself at South Shore Dental. My first visit was met with how friendly and professional everyone was. They were all incredibly kind, helpful, and created a feeling of ease and trust. Dr. Lau explained everything and answered all questions with thoroughness and clarity of the examination/consultation. I was especially impressed with his compassion and empathy as he listened to my situation and how it brought me to his office. I am impressed with his integrity and incredibly touched by his generous heart. The procedure was surprisingly comfortable, and there was no discomfort during or after. I loved how he walked me through the whole process as he addressed my concerns and made me feel heard and respected. I have been telling everyone how great Dr. Lau is as he lives up to and surpasses his reputation. I feel incredibly blessed have met Dr.Lau and to have him work on my teeth and esspecially how he went above and beyond to help me with all my concerns. Dentistry truly is his calling in how he is passionate in his profession, and it is reflected in his work and relationships with his patients. Not everyone in life can say they love what they do, but Dr.Lau can! God has certainly blessed him, and I love how he is giving back in God's name. Anyone who goes here can feel confident that you will be provided with exceptional care and an outstanding dental experience that far exceeded and surpasses all other places.

I never expected to write a negative review for ESO Dental, and it genuinely pains me to do so…read more However, my experience with the billing process and front desk staff left me feeling frustrated and misled, and I feel it is important to share my experience with others. Located down the street from my house, ESO Dental is an office my mom and sister have been going to for several years. I just turned 26, have my own dental insurance through my employer, and hadn't been to the dentist since 2020. When we checked in, we were told that they accept Delta Dental, so I was excited to finally get a cleaning after such a long time. Unfortunately, my first impression of the office was not a positive one. The front desk staff came across as standoffish and rude. When I asked questions, I felt like I was being talked down to rather than helped. During my initial exam, the hygienist also seemed standoffish and appeared annoyed when I asked questions. Dr. Hoang, however, was the highlight of my experience and the reason I'm giving this office two stars instead of one. He was very kind, checked in on me frequently, and was understanding of my fear of the dentist. I appreciated his compassion, and we discussed a treatment plan before I scheduled my cleaning for the following Monday. When checking out, I again had difficulty getting clear answers from the receptionist about my insurance. Since this was my first time using my own dental insurance, I had questions and was trying to understand how the process worked. I was told I would need to pay upfront and Delta Dental would reimburse me afterward. Because I had been told the office accepted my insurance, I didn't realize there might be an issue with my coverage. Over the weekend, I checked my claim through Delta Dental and discovered that ESO Dental was listed as out of network. I was confused and frustrated because I had never been clearly informed of this. According to my insurance information, Delta Dental would cover only 25% of the cleaning charges, leaving me responsible for a much larger portion of the bill than I had anticipated. On Monday morning, I called the office to clarify the situation. I was told that Delta Dental was out of network and that I had signed a form acknowledging this. However, when I asked the receptionist to read me the relevant portion of the form, there was no mention of Delta Dental being out of network. She explained that having to pay upfront and receive reimbursement from Delta Dental afterward was an indication that the office was out of network and that I should have known this. As someone who was new to navigating dental insurance, I found this explanation incredibly frustrating. I had specifically asked about insurance and was told that they accepted Delta Dental, yet I left my appointment without a clear understanding of my out of network status or the financial implications. I am now responsible for hundreds of dollars in charges for my initial exam and X-rays that I had not anticipated. When I tried to cancel my upcoming cleaning because I could no longer afford it, I was also told that I would be charged a cancellation fee. At this point, I felt that I had not been given the information I needed to make an informed financial decision, and the entire experience left me feeling taken advantage of. What frustrated me most was repeatedly being told that I had been informed of my out of network status when that was not my said during any of the conversations I had with the office. Dr. Hoang was genuinely kind, and I wish the rest of my experience had reflected that same level of care. If you have confirmed that your insurance is in network and are comfortable with the billing process, your experience may be different. However, I strongly recommend verifying your specific network status and expected out of pocket costs directly with your insurance provider before receiving treatment here. I went into this experience excited to finally return to the dentist, but I left feeling frustrated, confused, and disappointed by the lack of clear communication surrounding insurance and billing.
