Re: Dentist for a Root Canal
I have the kindest, gentlest, BEST dentist in the East Bay. Her name is Dr. Meeta Doshi and she is in Berkeley by Alta Bates on Regent Street. Her phone number is 843-9572. She recently took care of a root canal for me and I have not had a single problem with it! Another dentist had done some of the prep work, but did it wrong because I still felt some pretty intense pain. Dr. Doshi took care of it and did the root canal correctly. She is absolutely excellent! Jessica

I know there have been some recent requests for dentists for children, and I'd really like to recommend our wonderful dentist, Dr. Meeta Doshi, who treats our five year old daughter. The name of her practice is Fenske and Doshi, at 2999 Regent (just across from Alta Bates hospital), phone 843-9572. Dr. Doshi has been fantastic in caring for our daughter's teeth. She and her office staff are extremely competent, warm, caring professionals, and they clearly are oriented toward working with children, though I'm sure they're great with adults as well. Our daughter has already had a lot of experience with dentists, and with having cavities filled. Unfortunately, she had one painful experience early on (with a different dentist!), and so developed a great deal of anxiety around going to the dentist. Dr. Doshi and her staff are very reassuring and gentle and playful (and have a full line of stickers, sunglasses, etc. for rewarding their patients), which has helped my daughter to feel more comfortable. They also seem to be up-to-date with the newest technology -- my daughter's most recent filling is completely invisible to me. Eve

Meeta Doshi, DDS is a wonderful dentist, a mother and has a very gentle manner. Her office is located on Regent Street across from Alta Bates. Lisa
