Re: Dentist recommendation needed
I love my new Berkeley dentist, Brian Assael. My husband's parents have seen him for years, since he took over the practice of another dentist. I've just started seeing him a few months ago, but he just did a major reconstructive/cosmetic job on me that took three months. I am sooooo happy with the work he did. He also charges what delta pays for normal office visits and routine work, not more like other delta dentists. http://www.berkeleydds.com/ Andi

Re: Need a GREAT dentist!
Dr. Brian Assael is the BEST dentist around! He's all that you're asking for -- friendly, thorough, conscientious, honest, and does excellent work -- and more. I've been going to Dr. Assael for about 6 years now. He's friendly, caring and an all-around fantastic dentist. His office is located close to Whole Foods on Ashby and Regent St. in Berkeley.

The best dentist that I have ever known so far is Brian Assael on Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley (at Ashby). I was afraid of dentists until I found Dr. Brian in 1997. He is a very nice, caring, people's doctor who really cares about the person. He is very meticulous, perfectionist and conscious dentist. The receptionist Theresa is just wonderful, and very very nice. I totally trust him. His info: Brian Assael Tel: (510) 848-9796 at 2975 Telegraph ave. They are in the process of moving to another location in Ashby, so give them a call first. Dr. Assael's fan

Re: Dentist for a Root Canal
I can recommend Brian Assael on Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley (at Ashby). I have had quite a lot of work done by him including root canals, that I must say, he does not do systematically- i.e. he tries to ''save'' the tooth if possible. He is very meticulous and thourough and is also a very nice person. My 2 kids see him too, although just for cleaning for now! I trust him very much. His info: Brian Assael Tel: 848 9796 at 2975 Telegraph ave. Good luck! Veronique

Dr. Assael has a small office on Telegraph near Ashby. He is great- very thorough, explains a lot and is good with pain control. I know several co-workers who like him too. Tavie
