I'm all smiles again
Shan C.

Love this place....I never regret coming here for anything. Dr. Michael Woo has given me my smile back. Best dentist I've ever been too. I've never boasted about any of my dentist before...but this dentistry is from calming and soothing. Great work and such a wonderful experience each time. Thank you!!

This is probably the best dental office of the year 2024. This place is nothing short of…read moreexceptional for the service it provides given the price they charged. Dr. Lu has very sensitive hands and very experienced and efficient. He tells you what needs to be fixed and what can wait. He's giving you advice based on patient's perspective. He isn't the type where he'll coerce you to overpay for treatments you really don't need or have too little of the marginal benefits to the overall health of your teeth. Also, my wife and I had been to other dentists in or near Oakland (Dragon Dental and Pacific East Dental Care) where the dentists would charge you an exorbitant price for what doesn't need to be done like deep cleaning. You always need someone like Dr. Rong Lu to give you a fair evaluation of your overall dental health. There are also other dental offices (Cheung Dental Group in Milpitas) that are 4-7 months booked in advance so the wait time is too long even the dentist is good. Even tho' I also would recommend Dr. Cheung, I think it's just hard to get to see him these days. I will give a 8.5 stars out of 5 for Dr. Rong Lu. I definitely would like to nominate this dental office for the dental office of the year in 2024!

The office wanted to force me to get X-rays before I started my initial visit cleaning. I told them…read moreI understood the exam would be limited without the X-rays and I would be fine with that but they still wanted 4 bite wings. The dental assistants kept laughing at me when I said I didn't want X-rays but it is 100% within my right to refuse. I can't talk about anything else since I was not seen and I won't be coming back.

We've had such an exceptional experience at Eso Dental and can't recommend them highly enough! From…read morethe moment you walk in, the receptionists are warm, patient, and genuinely kind--they make you feel like more than just a patient, and they have a special gift for connecting with children and helping them feel comfortable. Dr. Allen Hoang is incredibly thorough and attentive, and his kindness and authenticity really stand out. The hygienists are fantastic--meticulous yet remarkably gentle. I used to dread dental cleanings, but now they're completely pain-free. The office itself is consistently spotless, aesthetically pleasing, and thoughtfully designed (with great magazines, which is a nice bonus!). Our whole family actually looks forward to visits now, and my daughter does too--which says everything.

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.

I've been coming here for a few years. The dental work is top notch and the assistants are terrific…read moreas well. It's an overall pleasurable experience ( as far as dentists go:). Nyasha at reception is a consummate professional. She goes the extra mile each time to make sure that everything is clear and that you understand every aspect of you r appointment. From scheduling , the procedure and billing- I always feel important and that my time and teeth matter . Dr. Shah is amazing and I always trust him with my dental needs . He is precise and caring . I wish that I received this level of service everywhere . I give my highest recommendation to Total Health Dental - Old Oakland!

Absolutely horrific wisdom teeth removal experience (I was forced to shatter my own teeth). More…read morebelow I am a regular patient of Total Health Dental. After years of putting off wisdom teeth removal, I finally decided to do it while in my early/mid 30's. Total Health only offered nitrous, not general anesthesia. I didnt know that this wasnt normal, or even an option. But that was hardly the issue. After trying to remove my wisdom teeth, the surgeon was struggling and said we need to try another way. So he placed a metal rod on my tooth and asked me to bite down on it as hard as possible. Then he proceeded to yell "harder, harder, harder". Until I finally heard a shattering noise in my ear. He literally had me shatter my tooth by biting it. And THEN, had me repeat that 3 more times until all four were shattered. After the surgery, he prescribed me an opiod. While I didnt want to take them, I had my wife, who is a physician pick up the meds in case I needed them. While she was there, the pharmacist noted that it was odd to have a paper prescription since nothing was sent in their computer system. They then called the number on the prescription, and it went to a google phone number, literally. They refused to fill the prescription. We had to call Total Health Dental who then had to track the surgeon down and figure out whats going on. Long story short, if you want to avoid shattering your OWN teeth while you are fully awake, and aware, just go ANYWHERE else.

I had an appointment scheduled for 10 am for an exam and cleaning. I was taken to X Ray at 12 noon…read moreand informed I would have to schedule another appointment in order to see a dentist.

Here's a stronger, professional review that includes those details while remaining factual:…read more (1 Star) I have been extremely disappointed with my experience at this office. My first appointment was scheduled through corporate for 4:30 PM. After waiting for over an hour, I was told they only had time to take my X-rays and that I would need to schedule another appointment. At my second appointment, I again waited over an hour before being called back. They only reviewed my X-rays and then told me I would have to return yet again for my cleaning and orthodontic consultation. At my third appointment, the same thing happened--I waited over an hour in the lobby. I had informed the front desk when I checked in that I needed to leave by 12:00 PM to make another appointment, yet I watched multiple patients who arrived after me get called back before I did. No one explained the delay or communicated what was happening. So far, it has taken three separate appointments just to get X-rays reviewed, schedule a cleaning, and see the orthodontist. Every visit has involved an excessive wait time of over an hour. I understand that healthcare offices get busy, but repeatedly making patients return for incomplete appointments, combined with poor scheduling, long waits, and a lack of communication, shows little respect for patients' time. I hope this office improves its scheduling and patient flow so others don't have the same frustrating experience.
