I am so relieved that I visited Bayside and was treated by Dr. Funk and Alexis who were both so…read moreamazing! I needed a last minute appointment for an extraction I was in so much pain and the administration team not only were able to accomodate my schedule but also met me with the upmost kindness and professionalism! Pricing was reasonable and they took my insurance. I know I'll need more work and I'll certainly be returning to them. I'd recommend to anyone who needs a caring touch and seeking a great team dedicated to your comfort. Trust that good care doesn't have to be hard to look for when you're working with Bayside! Thank you all so much at Bayside! I look forward to working with you again soon!

From the moment I walked in I felt at ease. The thought of having surgery is already anxiety…read moreproducing for me (add to that my financial concerns). All was put to rest before leaving. Everything about the initial consultation felt both professional, yet comforting at the same time and I never, not once, felt doubt about my decision to follow through with this referral. Dr. Funk was very pleasant, she took her time and talked me off of the ledge with what seemed like viable options, and, gratefully, no pressure to do any unnecessary things. Though I have yet to do the actual procedure, I can only attest to the process in making in my consultation, first impressions are everything to me ... and finally, I just want to give high elevation to my interaction with the Business Manager, Mercedes. She was also very understanding about my financial concerns, thoroughly explained options and even encouraged follow-up with my general dentists to discuss best options for periodontics after care. I am feeling, thankfully, very comfortable (as much as I can), with my upcoming surgical procedure.

Thank you, Dr. Irving (who also happens to be a Cal alum) for taking care of my student at…read moreBerkeley! She had all four impacted wisdom teeth surgery during winter break with the oral surgeon in our hometown. She was good for the post-op but suddenly developed jaw and gum pain along with face swelling yesterday. She was scared and away from home. Luckily, I found Dr. Irving on Yelp. Called right at 8am this morning and Cissy, who answered the phone, was professional, understanding, and patient with this worried mom! She scheduled my daughter for this afternoon and was clear on what Dr. Irving needed from the other oral surgeon before the appt. And to fill out the Patient Registration form on their website. My daughter was cared for by Dr. Irving - both infected sides were numbed and cleaned out. He also wanted to evaluate her to make sure antibiotics were necessary. He reassured her that her recovery would be easier than after her surgery. He got her in and out. She is feeling much better tonight, and I'm glad she has an excellent oral surgeon away from home!

Top notch dentists - so why the low score?…read more I would give 0 stars if it were possible all due to my ongoing saga with the billing department. NEVER give them a credit card number. They charge your account without ever notifying you. I have not gone to the dentist in over a year because I'm so fed up with their asinine business practices. They charged me $600 on January 1st for their optional "extra" dental plan. I called them to resolve the issue and was told that yes, I'm considered an "inactive" client - so why charge me $600 no one can answer that question and its been a week and still no refund. They are crooks.

So AI just left me a message saying that 3-4 doctors think I suddenly need a root canal? My…read moreappointment was over 2 months ago and the dentist could not determine which tooth was giving me problems...that's not her fault...it really is a mystery tooth. But then today I got this strange text saying I should come in for a root canal. How did we go from, "Not sure which tooth is the problem" to, "all these dentists think you need to see us for your root canal." Then I received a follow up call...an insane amount of background noise (mind you I have a migraine so it bothered me) and that human (so not another AI person) told me that the problem tooth is #3 and needs a root canal. It didn't seem like the human or AI were listening to what I was saying which left me with the impression that it's Christmas and they're hoping to get money from me. I stupidly signed up for a three year commitment from them and now I worry that they're just looking for reasons to find something wrong in my teeth to charge me. Many years ago I went to a dentist who said he found 10 cavities. That seemed suspicious so I got a second opinion and that dentist said I had zero cavities...this fiasco reminded me of that. I hope I'm wrong because in person this dentist seemed nice as did the XRay fella.

I'm in the process of tooth removal/dental implant procedures with Dr. McDonald. I mainly went to…read morehim because my Dentist refered him and a friend who works with dentures/implants said he rated good. Long story short, my front tooth was failing from an injury almost 30 years. After getting assessed in an initial consult, getting second opinions, etc. I went with Dr. MacDonald and had the first part done almost 6 months after the initial consult, I chose that because of work obligations and my wife was getting a graduate degreee and I wanted to look ok in the pictures. I just had part 1) tooth removal in June, and his staff seemed to do a good job. I was put out and the process wasn't too painful, I filled prescriptions of antibiotics and painkillers that day. I coordinated with my dentist to get a temporary piece (or stayplate) a couple days after the intial procedure. So far good. My dental insurance from work covers a little bit of the expenses but the majority of dental insurances don't really cover it, they mainly do preventative care (cleanings and fillings). I had already put some into my FSA/HSA, unfortunately the timing of when I scheduled was after open-enrollment so I wish I had set aside more funds. Like I said, so far so good, and it's my front tooth so it'd be nice if it looked and felt good.

I saw Dr McDonald back in August 2019 for a frenotomy also known as a tongue tie removal. I had…read morebeen doing my own research on the link between tongue-ties in adult and TMJ and I decided it was something I wanted to pursue to see if it helped. To say it was life changing would be an understatement. Not only did it help with my tmj but it changed the shape of my face for the better, less square/round and more oval/heart. There is so much still being researched on fascia and facial anatomy, I'm grateful Dr McDonald listened to me and took my request seriously. Now there's more information on "mewing" and tongue posture but at the time it was not well known and it meant a lot he listened to me when many ignored it. Everyone in the office made it such a pleasurable experience from start to finish, I hope he is still in practice if I ever need an oral surgeon again.

When I moved to the east bay four years ago, I was super nervous about finding a good dentist…read more Having had dental implant and various other issues all through out my childhood due to falling when I was seven and chipping my front tooth, I needed someone who is a skilled dentist with a gentle touch. Thankfully, Aloha Pediatric Dental (my son's dental office) recommended Dr Rahmatian. He's been great and I am a lot less nervous now for my visits -even though it's never really a fun time is it in the chair. I also appreciate that it is a small office and there is pretty much no delay or wait time for appointments. One tip, don't use the overpriced parking lot next to the office. Look for street parking behind the little park around Prince or Regent.

Steve talks about what he is doing and why, and his thinking process out loud while he is doing this in a way that is very reassuring. He is totally focused and in solution finding mode and while no one is excited to have procedures like drilling, his focus and enthusiasm about his work including doing things the best way possible made me feel I was with someone who really appreciates and loves their work. It shows. The office is quiet, clean-I want to speak to that because I see "office experience" listed. I was in the San Francisco office. I was not particularly focused on that, other than it was quiet, clean, no issues-- because I felt at ease, as relaxed as I have ever been when having cavities filled, and confident that this guy is like the Sherlock of teeth-he will keep looking and figuring out exactly what is needed, beyond the skills that you would want-creativity, focus and enthusiasm. I will definitely return.

I came here for a consultation on wisdom teeth removal. I was looking forward to speaking with the…read moresurgeon and asking them some questions as I was hesitant about the surgery. However, I found the surgeon to be very dismissive - they didn't greet me, they interrupted me every time I tried to speak or pose a question and they in general seemed to be in a hurry. The surgeon also tried to upsell me on a post surgery procedure that I did not need (I would later learn). Overall, I felt very uncomfortable with their bedside manner. Last, the office forgot to give me my X-ray that I had taken during my visit only to mail it to me several weeks later without paying for the postage. I ended up having to do so when my mailman made the delivery to my home. It was not a pleasant experience. Overall, I'm glad that I trusted my gut and did not pursue getting my wisdom teeth removal here after my experience. I went to another nearby surgeon and had a great experience and paid much less as well. I would encourage others, if they can, to seek a second opinion and then make your decision from there. I am glad I did.
