The best dentist I've ever had, hands down. His expertise and care are unmatched, and all of his assistants are amazing--so kind, professional, and attentive. I can truly and sincerely recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional dental care. Since he moved to another city, my family has been struggling to find a good dentist, which makes us appreciate him even more. That said, I'm so happy for his new clients and for him because I believe this was decision he need at that time. Thank you, Michael, for the wonderful experience and care you provided us. I'm leaving this review after two years because your impact is unforgettable! read more

What a great guy and great dentist. Ended up with a cap on an old filling. Drilled down tooth etc. and Zero pain for the analysis and work. Love his work, the staff and team. Michael Zatto retired and Dr Michael Picione merged. Highly recommend this team!!! read more

Wow! A-plus is not a good enough score. I was really lucky because I happened to find Dr. Piccione just by chance. I could not get an appointment before two weeks at my current dental office after a crown had come out. The office didn't consider it an emergency and told me just to make sure to keep it clean and rinse it with salt water. I didn't think that was good enough. Needless to say, even though I did manage to recover my crown and not swallow it on Saturday, I called immediately to get an appointment to get it re-cemented and was told that I could not get in until September 22. This was two weeks away from the date that I called. I really did consider this an emergency because there's a myriad of things that could happen by having it left there exposed like that and having to eat on one side for that long gets pretty uncomfortable and it could possibly cause more damage. It has been getting worse and worse just trying to get an appointment because my dental office seems to have trouble staffing the office. This was not something I wanted to go through for two weeks waiting to get my crown re-cemented. It was a stroke of good luck to find Dr. Piccione. What a wonderful experience. I now have a new dentist because I don't think I could ever return to what I have been experiencing with my previous dental office. What a difference a phone call made. I am so happy now to have my crown re-cemented. I got in the next morning because Dr. Piccione wanted to help me. I feel like I don't have to worry about anything now with it getting infected or eating on one side and all the rest of the unpleasantness that goes along with a crown coming out. Normally I would probably ask for recommendations for a new dentist because the dentist I was going to is actually the fourth dentist I went to that was on this plan. All of the other ones were, suffice it to say, way below the standard of care. So what a difference a phone call made and a visit to this wonderful office. Thank you everybody at Dr. Piccione's office and especially you, Dr. Piccione, for being so professional and doing a wonderful job. read more

Nice clean spacious office. Friendly and professional staff. Modern dental equipment. Lots of parking.

I was referred to Dr. Piccione by Dr. Zatto upon his retirement. I have stage four prostate cancer and as a result have weak bones due to chemotherapy. This has caused my teeth to become very brittle. I have had two teeth removed and three others break off at the gum line. I went to Dr. Piccone after my last tooth broke to see what he could do. He repaired it but to my surprise it only lasted 30 minutes. At that point, I called his office and left a message with his receptionist requesting he return my call. I did not hear back from him and a week later received a bill for $350. I paid this even though the crown did not last and never heard back from him. I sent a note along with my check again requesting that he give me a call back. That was a month and a half ago and I still have not heard from him. It leaves me wondering what is going on with him or his office staff. What would you do, my tooth still remains broken in half? read more

Update: Dr. Piccione continues to impress me with his cosmetic/restorative dental skills and dedication to his patients. I wanted to have him design an implant crown to replace a shoddy-looking one made by someone else. It was going to be a challenge but I had faith Dr. Piccione could solve the problem. He had me try out a couple of temporary crowns to find the best coverage of the metal abutment and we chose one. Then the pandemic hit. As soon as the office was allowed to reopen they scheduled an appointment for me and Dr. Piccione had my new permanent crown ready to go. It's amazing to me how it looks and feels like a real tooth. See the before and after pics. Previous review: I started up a violin studio and wanted to look more professional. Because Dr. Piccione is also a cosmetic dentist I knew he could make that happen. While getting my orthodontic treatment Dr. P. and I met a few times and went over some options. I liked the idea of veneers. There were so many different choices for tooth shapes and shades. Dr. P. helped me narrow down what I wanted and made some additional recommendations. He let me think about some things and we came up with a plan. Near the end of my orthodontic treatment Dr. P. coordinated with my ortho regarding the timing of the veneers and scanning for my final retainers. The veneers process took some time to be completed. We did 2 sets of temporary ones. Dr. P. made sure they were the way I wanted them to look. The entire process was actually quite pleasant. His assistant Rose was wonderful. They both made sure I was comfortable and knew what to expect during the long appointments. We had lots of discussions about the upcoming baseball season (go Cards!). When the veneers were in I couldn't believe how perfect they looked. My orthodontist's office was also impressed. Now when I'm teaching or meeting with new or prospective families to my studio I smile a whole lot more. I'm so glad Dr. Budak brought Dr. Piccione on to take over his practice. The professionalism in this office is exceptional as well as the warm and welcoming atmosphere. read more

With this being my first experience with Dr. Piccione, I would definitely give this office two thumbs up. I appreciated Rose and Dr. Piccione meeting with me before my appointment began and walking me through entire process. I have never been afraid of the dentist but I do appreciate them taking care of their patients so they are comfortable. The front desk was also very helpful and tried to accommodate my schedule. read more

Mo is the man because he was Oski back in tha day. I usually spend more time with the hygienists than with Mo himself, but he always takes an extra second to give me a hearty, "Go Bears!" when he's done poking around in my mouth. On the subject of Mo's hygienists, Christy is excellent. I've been going to her for years. She is personable and gets your teeth cleaned painlessly. read more

Kirsten has been our hygienist for around 12 years. I just found out that she was number one in her class and it shows. She's very thorough and is able to quickly assess any possible issues. I always feel great after my cleaning. Dr. Piccione has recently taken over the practice. He has a very fun and friendly demeanor. You are definitely in good hands with Dr. Piccione and his entire staff. I highly recommend them for your dental needs. read more

I've been coming to Dr. Piccione's practice for the last four years. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Love this dental practice and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a dentist! read more

Very thorough dental cleaning- spent some extra time to ensure that the final result looked great!

Dr. Budak and his team are the best! I would know. I have been going to Dr. Budak and his office for close to 20 years. He's an amazing dentist and makes you feel at ease about what if any treatment plan is required. He makes himself available if you have an dental emergency or have an urgent question. I have referred Dr. Budak to many of my friends and relatives. The dental hygiene team is very good too. In my opinion, there is no better dentist. I also love the fact that he continues to better himself by learning different dental methods and using technology . read more

Dr Piccione was very easy to work with. He communicated clearly how he was going to proceed with my new crown. It was painless and smooth through the whole process. He's very personable and his demeanor put me at ease. I would say he is very good at what he does and continuing to hone his craft from our conversations. I highly recommend Dr Piccione for your dental needs. read more

The dental hygienist Sarah is great! She is very thorough and gentle. I highly recommend her!

They are friendly and do good work, helped refer me to get a root canal then I went back and he put the crowns in. They are taking strict precautions against COVID wearing and providing protective gear, social distancing and having you wait in parking lot instead of lobby. Offered a 10% discount for cash pay. read more

Extremely safe Covid protocols, which I appreciated. The staff is very professional as is the doctor. I would recommend them without reservation. read more

I was referred to this office due to Dr. Budak's excellent services, extensive experience, and reputation. Dr. Piccione, who took over for Dr. Budak, was the dentist I saw. Everyone in the office was very friendly and nice. Dr. Piccione was very enthusiastic and warm. However, he met with with me for multiple consultations without recommending a treatment plan. I understand his desire to be thorough and focusing on cosmetic dentistry, but given that I had to leave work on at least 3 occasions for a "consultation," well that was a big concern for me. I truly appreciated his enthusiasm but at the end of the day, I was hoping to get my teeth fixed. Unfortunately, in the process of multiple evaluations, I developed a tooth infection. Because Dr. Piccione was out , I was referred to someone his own staff did not appear to trust, which did result in further complications, which I have never had before after a root canal. Dr. Piccione truly appeared overwhelmed by the challenges my case presented, which is fair. I honestly just wish that he would have referred me to my current dentist sooner. As to finances, I had no issues paying my current dentist out of pocket because I received treatment. With Dr. Piccione, I had multiple consultation, multiple bills, and 0 relief. read more

THE friendliest dental office I've ever visited. Dr. Budak and his team are so welcoming, caring and attentive. It's always easy to book or reschedule an appointment, and I'm always seen on time. Dr. Budak truly cares about each of his patients, and goes out of his way to make sure you are totally at ease. I'm so happy to have found them! read more

Great experience with Kirsten teeth cleaning. She is the best dental hygienist...ever!

My entire family has been seeing Dr. Budak for over 20 years and have always been more than satisfied with his care. For a hygienist we all see Christie, who is funny, caring, and always does a fabulous job. I have had some aesthetic dental work done here as well and it has held up perfectly for 15 years. Great place! read more

I can't go anywhere else! I travel from LA and back to see Dr. Piccione and Kirsten since I don't trust anyone else. They truly know what they're doing. Everyone is so kind, professional, and accommodating. I've received calls after appointments just to see how I'm feeling. I always feel at ease there because I know my teeth are in the best hands. I can't say a single negative thing about this place. Worth any commute. read more

I went to see him once when I was thinking of changing dentists. He was recommended to me by my orthodontist. I did not like him at all. He's all smiles, but then he has such a commercial attitude about everything...You can see through him, that all he cares about is taking your money and he starts recommending this and this to you, like you need everything and nothing is right with your teeth. I just hate that kind of an attitude. He is also very expensive and you can barely talk...he talks and talks and talks and makes you feel like you guys are having a dialogue, but it's actually a monologue. I would never go back here. read more

The best place for regular dental care I found so far in the Bay Area! My hygienist is Sara. She is very friendly and takes time to sit with me and go through even the most difficult areas. I have a wire behind my front teeth and she always flosses in between the gums and the wire. None of my other hygienists in the past have ever done that for me. Front office staff are very friendly and helpful as well. read more

I have been a long time patient (over 10 years) with Dr Budak and I totally agree with Madalina C's comment below. He tries very hard to squeeze every penny from your pocket. He would recommend procedure that is more than necessary. I had root canal done on my molar tooth 20 years ago by another dentist, it was very successful and the tooth never bother me. 10 years ago when I first saw Dr Budak he recommended to redo the root canal and I followed his advice (I was stupid). The second root canal weakened my tooth and my tooth broke a year after the second root canal. Then Dr Budak recommended tooth implant which would cost me $5,500. I didn't want to let him make more money from me so I delayed the tooth implant procedure for many years and until recently, I went to a dentist in San Francisco and got a bargain deal, tooth implant for only $2,400. It is time for me to move on to another dentist. This time I will find someone that cares for the patient more than the patient's wallet. read more

I am a technical person and Dr. Budak's office is one of the most technical offices I have ever visited. If you need a crown he can do it all in one visit with a product called Cerec. If you want you can even go watch as your porcelain crown is cut out by the water jet milling machine. He is very friendly and professional and has a wonderful staff to back him up. He is the best dentist I have ever had. I used to have a cracked front tooth and he did such a wonderful job on it, I forgot that it used to be cracked. Thanks to Dr Budak and all his patience (believe me I needed a lot of work) and expertise, I have great oral health once again. So go see Dr Budak, I highly recommend him. I know you won't be disappointed!! read more

- Dr Budak fixed a botch fillings job by another dentist for me *immediately* when I first went to him - He's the first dentist I've ever had who actually measured my gums and detected my early stage of periodontal disease, which is why it hurt me too much to floss most of my life! He fixed that up and now my teeth feel way better and flossing is great. - He's a really nice guy and really cares that my teeth look and feel good and that I'm not in any kind of pain ever. read more

I think Dr. Budak is about the best a dentist can get. He is brilliant and experienced and he is one of the kindest dentists I have ever met. I have had problems with extreme panic attacks in the past due to traumatic dentist experiences and Dr. Budak was very caring as he helped me work through those issues. He has gone through and replaced a bunch of degrading mercury fillings. He has done a fabulous job of finding rot hiding under old degrading filings (that's kind of embarrassing to put on the internet). He isn't cheap but you are truly paying for what you get. Yes he does encourage cosmetic dentistry but if you truly aren't interested he lets it go and does a fantastic job given the parameters you ask for. read more
