Re: Dentist for someone is is very anxious
I recommend Dr. Taheri at Berkeley Hills Dental Care (on Telegraph just
below Ashby). He is gentle, matter-of-fact and will not lecture you, but
will take good care of your teeth. My partner was recently in a similar
situation to yours, not having gone to the dentist for 20 years (!), and
was not looking forward to the dentist lecture. He had a good experience
with Dr. Taheri and felt he got good care without the judgment. I also
HATE going to the dentist and usually find most procedures very painful and
unpleasant, but Dr. Taheri is quite gentle and patient and I dread the
dentist visits much less now that I see him.

Hi all, I'm desperate for a decent dentist that takes DeltaCare USA.
These are the providers they list in the area. If you have any
experience (neg. or pos.) with any of these providers, I would be
extremely grateful!! (Unfortunately, DeltaCare USA is an 'individual'
insurance plan and NOT the same as regular Delta insurance. So sending
me your favorite dentist who takes Delta but isn't on this list will
sadly not help. Sigh.) Thank you so much!!
I am a patient of Dr. Taheri at Berkeley Hills Dental Group and I am very
happy with the office and his care as a dentist.
The receptionist was super sweet and attentive to me and my two little
sons when I took my kids for their ''very first time at a dentist''. The
staff was great, VERY friendly, patient and the office manager's ''chatty
personality'' made it easy to feel comfortable in an environment you
usually don't like to be in. Everybody in the office was very caring. Of
course they are not pediatric dentists who are especially educated in how
to communicate with small children ... but they did a fantastic job! Dr.
Taheri did my own fillings and he was very professional, very caring and
made sure I had everything I needed. Never ever did it happen before that
I was so relaxed during a dentist visit that I almost fell asleep on the
dentist chair (who has heard such a thing???). LOVED it!
not afraid of the dentist
Berkeley Hills Dental Group is currently our family dentist office. (BTW,
Sorry, but I don't remember the names of the dentists. I think there are
only 2.) My husband really likes the dentist he sees, he says he's very
gentle. I see a woman dentist, who is fine; she's a little bit hard to
understand sometimes, but she does a good job and checks with me
frequently to be sure I'm OK as she's working. One thing about this
office: one of the front desk women can be extraordinarily difficult,
especially when you first visit. I had to argue with her about whether we
were actually assigned to their office, and she gave me a real attitude.
It seems like she warms up once you're actually a patient, though. And
she wasn't there during my last appointment, so maybe she's moved on ...
anyway, the rest of the staff is very nice.
Hope this helps!
