North Berkeley Dental Arts

It is easy to make an appointment. The doctors are experienced. I never mind going in for appointments. I didn't have a dentist in the area and needed to find one. I called several dentists in the area and it was hard to set up an appointment. I called North Berkeley Dental Arts and they were willing to accommodate my schedule. So, I chose them as my dentist. Additionally, the dentist is knowledgeable and will explains what is going in simple terms - and then make recommendations. The office staff assist me with my insurance and ensure my teeth are well taken care of. more

I'm biased! My experience with North Berkeley Dental Arts over the last twelve years has been great! Of course, this is accurate to my experiences and my feelings. I am very comfortable going there and taking my whole family there too. All the doctors are responsive and responsible. If there's an issue or we have a dental emergency, they immediately take action or communicate with us. Everyone there is incredible. The staff is nothing but warm and welcoming. They really know how to connect with their clients and to meet their clients needs. I've recommended them to several people so far. Garbriela Harding more

I started going to North Berkeley Dental Arts because it was very close to where I live, so it's convenient, and I have a few friends who also go there. The office was clean and organized when I first visited, and I'm a stickler for that. They are flexible in scheduling appointments and they are very warm and welcoming. I feel safe there and feel that they have my well being in mind. They make me feel comfortable. I have never had any problems there. Have no fear of dentists! At North Berkeley Dental Arts, they are open to what you have to say and to your fears. You feel that they are on your side. more

NORTH BERKELEY DENTAL ARTS (formerly NATHAN G. KAUFMAN's DENTAL \r OFFICE) - still the Best Dental Office for everyone and whole \r families. \r \r I haven't seen a dentist in a year and a half because I've \r had ''extremely'' bad experiences with a couple of them in Los \r Angeles. Last one I had was an extraction that took over an hour \r to happen, I was crying all the time, and it was horrible. \r \r I was so thankful I found North Berkeley Dental Arts. I have \r heard about Dr. Nathan Kaufman before and I know he is a household \r name when it comes to dental care and research in the East bay. \r \r I went to see them, and I met instead, Dr. Allan Sio and Dr. \r Vince Lim, who are Dr. Kaufman's successor to his practice.\r \r I was so astounded. These guys are the best. Very Very friendly \r and caring i.e. they take time to listen and more time to \r explain their diagnosis and treatment approach. There is no \r pressure whatsoever, on whatever and however you wanted to undergo \r therapy options. Very very competent and knowledgable. \r Aside from offering ""familiar"" approaches on my dental care needs, \r I was even informed of newer and up-to-date ways, on how I can get \r a healthier mouth and maintain it. \r \r Also very very gentle. I was in for 2 extractions and in 40 \r minutes I'm out. I never had any discomfort all throughout the \r procedure. I was even surprised it was over in such a short \r time - never felt a thing. Dr. Lim had the lightest and gentlest \r hand I've had an extraction with. Also weeks earlier, I had as \r well, several fillings by Dr. Sio, who is really very calming and patient.\r He knew I was scared but worked with me thru it and at I got an excellently \r restored tooth I am so happy with. I wrote this because I'm so glad to \r have a dentist I can keep, and maybe others out there deserve the same.\r \r They make seeing the dentist \r ""VERY VERY ENCOURAGING"", and look, I'm a dental phobic talking.\r more
