Re: Looking for Good Dentist in Berkeley Oakland area
I have been going to Donald DiRocco DDS in Berkeley since 1987. I have very ''unique'' teeth and system, and am generally hard to please. He and his office staff are absolutely WONDERFUL -- expert at what he does and fantastic chair-side manner. Before I moved to the Bay Area, I asked my dentist in Chicago how to find a good dentist somewhere new where I did not know anyone to ask for recommendations. He recommended that I call 3 periodontists and ask for their recommendations for general dentists. I called 3 and they each offered 3 names, and there was one name in common across the 3 -- that was Dr. DiRicco; 2414 Ashby @ Telegraph, Berkeley (510) 845- 8780. Big smiles

Re: Highly skilled Dentist (May 2005)
I have found my dentist, Donald DiRocco, near Alta Bates on Ashby, to be highly competent. I had crowns put in three years ago and they still look great, and he's always dealt very well with other dental problems that have arisen. I haven't had a bridge, however. I'd give him a call if I were you. Wendy

Re: East Bay dentist who does good veneers (Feb 2005)
Well, I really like my dentist, Don DiRocco in Berkeley near Alta Bates, who gave (well, okay, sold) me two lovely new front crowns about three years ago. Having said that, I don't think $1200 per veneer is out of the ordinary; my crowns (essentially the same deal, but more tooth replaced and not purely cosmetic) cost about $1100 each. But Dr. DiRocco is not a wheeler-dealer type, and my teeth looks SO much better and more natural. Wendy

Re: Severe fear of going to the dentist (Nov 2004)
I could have written your exact post with the addition of having ''bad'' teeth (crowns, root canals etc). I highly reccomend Dr. DiRocco -- he is on Ashby near whole foods. Great dentist, very good listener and has helped tremendously with my teeth. I'm phobic too

RE: Dentists for the Fearful
I don't have fear of dentists, but I have been seeing a very competent dentist, Donald DiRocco, near Alta Bates, and believe he'd be very sensitive to a fearful patient. He filled a nasty cavity of mine last month, and was tremendously considerate of my comfort. Wendy
