I've been a patient of Dr. Needham at Campus Dental Care in Berkeley for over 12 years, and I can't…read moresay enough good things about this practice. From my very first visit to every routine cleaning or more complex procedure since, the experience has been consistently excellent. The entire team -- Dr. Needham, Vanessa, Liz, and everyone else in the office -- is warm, professional, and truly committed to patient care. They go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and cared for, and the environment is always calm, clean, and equipped with the latest technology. Dr. Needham is not only incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, but also genuinely compassionate. He takes the time to explain everything clearly, answers all my questions, and makes sure I'm comfortable before, during, and after any procedure. Although I no longer live in Berkeley, I happily make the hour-long drive to continue seeing Dr. Needham and his team -- that's how much I trust and value the care I receive here. After more than a decade under their care, I trust Campus Dental completely -- not just with my teeth, but with my peace of mind. If you're looking for a dental team that treats you like a person, not a number, this is the place. Sorry I don't have photos. Will take some at my next visit to include here!

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!

When my daughter and I arrived for our appointments we were told that there was no dentist on site for the day. I assumed they would have us return to actually see a dentist. Instead, they put a camera on us after our cleanings and had a dentist on a computer screen. He could not see inside of my mouth or do any exam. They actually billed our insurance for a remote dentist. They fired their receptionist and instead have a person on a computer screen when you arrive. If you try and call them to make an appointment or ask a question you will just be on the phone with an AI assistant. The AI makes exasperated sighs and even sometimes has side conversations, it's really bizarre. They have a constant turnover of dentists so don't expect to see the same dentist within the year. Their bottom line appears to be more important than high quality care. It used to be a much better business, but then they started firing people.

He was not able to view X-rays in office and seemed to use them as his only way to identify cavities (or maybe someone else did that?!?). He seems to be the only one working in his office and answers his own phone/follows up over text. I had two appointments with him before switching dentists. At both appointments he did a surface level cleaning with a pick and said I had no cavities. I seriously question his eyesight. After visiting another dentist 6 months later, they said I had 5 cavities and one was so bad I nearly had to have a root canal. Thankfully they were miracle workers and filled my cavity without needing a root canal. I'm no dental expert, but I highly doubt my teeth developed all of these issues within 6 months of my last cleaning... PLEASE AVOID FOR YOUR OWN HEALTH!

A THIEF! That's what…read morethis so-called "dentist" is. I came in because of a toothache and he insisted on taking full x-rays before anything was done. Took the x-rays and could not determine the source of the problem, and insisted I needed a tooth cleaning. I told him I had a tooth cleaning 2 weeks prior to seeing him, so he prescribed me antibiotics instead. Pain went away, but came back full-force a month later. Insisted on taking x-rays AGAIN, could not find a problem, and told me to deal with the pain and gave me a free tube of Sensodyne tooth paste, saying it should help with my problem. I thought I needed a root canal, but he told me to not worry about it until several years down the line. He said that if the pain persists for another 6 months then to come back and we'll start again from square one. Long story short, went to a more qualified dentist and he did a few tests and thought I needed a root canal. Referred me to a specialist who agreed with the prognosis, and told me we probably could have saved the root had the first dentist noticed the signs and that waiting the few months/years as Harrison suggested would have resulted in a lot of pain for me and possibly losing my tooth. Crazily, that is not why he got 1 star. If I could give him 0 stars I would. He billed my insurance for a fluoride treatment, teeth cleaning, and an "emergency procedure." He NEVER gave me the fluoride treatment nor the teeth cleaning. And giving me tooth paste is an "emergency procedure" that warrants $150? I hope this guy gets busted for fraud.

But unfortunately i've found that their billing practices are be deceptive and untrustworthy. I found them through Zocdoc, which listed them as in-network for my Aetna plan. When I went in for my appointment, the front desk staff reassured me that I would be covered through my insurance. But they gave me an incredibly high bill for fillings, higher than i've ever paid before on this same insurance. The front desk is also pushy, they kept trying to lock me into the payment plan on the same day. I later looked into the billing directly via my insurance and realized that they aren't actually in-network. At this point I had already completed half a treatment plan and paid out-of-network rates I hadn't transparently consented to. This doesn't appear to be a one-off error. Other reviews describe the same pattern. If you're considering this practice: call your insurance provider directly and confirm network status before your first appointment. Do not rely on Zocdoc or the practice's own representation. The quality of dental work is alright but you have to do your own due diligence.

They refuse to do "Preop" It means that they refuse to send it to your insurance so you would find out how much is covered. Instead they give you some random number, that they think it would cover. And it is usually a wrong number.They put a pressure on me to pay in full before the procedure, telling that it would cost me more if I did not pay in full weeks before the expensive procedure would happen. When Insurance partially reimburses you it goes to them again even though it was paid in full. If you have an insurance make sure it is written somewhere that it pays you and not them. And then you have to call them again and again to get your insurance reimbursement There is a lot of confusion in the office. They make an appointment and then when you arrive on time tell you that you were not scheduled. When you ask to talk to the manager Marissa they say she was not there, she will call you. She does not return your call. Dr.Hites himself became too expensive and does not always tell you a price for the procedure before he does it. In other words a total disappointment.

I took my x-rays and pictures back to another 2 dentists and they said while it's technically a small cavity, it's an over diagnosis to do a filling on it as cavities of that size can be maintained forever and doing a filling is over invasive. The hygienist definitely rushed only doing 50% of my teeth before stopping. It was like 20 min total, teeth still felt dirty after that cleaning. Also they expected me to pay a deposit to reserve a cavity filling appointment... Everyone was friendly, but the care was not top notch

I've…read morerarely come across someone so committed and focused on doing all she can to achieve the best results. She runs her practice with keen attention to all details. In addition, her staff are so nice, which adds up to a very pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately, I wound up here after a bad experience with a previous dentist, reviewed in 2021. Even though I'm not at all interested in having cosmetic dentistry done, a bad chain of decisions on my part, trusting a dentist who I didn't realize at the time, was leading me towards cosmetic work, left me needing it (ironic). That experience led me to change my long term dentist, who in turn, recommended Dr. Au, for work he wasn't able to provide. I resisted completing the work begun by my past dentist for years after my bad experience. Finally, about two months ago, I decided to just deal with it and be done. Prior to that, I just kept coming here every year or two, so that she could make my four temporary veneers look less stained. The idea of shaving down healthy teeth to install expensive permanent crowns for cosmetic reasons, isn't my thing. As I mention in my 2021 review of that dentist, I'm from the '60's, a time when people weren't as concerned about having perfect looking teeth. I actually find real, healthy looking teeth, that have some character, refreshing. I was a bit surprised by how much goes into getting permanent crowns. It's a big investment in both time and money. I feel that Dr. Au made it the most affordable it could be. My four new teeth look great, especially after living with those stained temporary veneers for so long. Hopefully now I can put all this behind me. Be careful who you trust!

Compared to other dental practices, this one doesn't have the latest flashy technology (cushy chairs, TVs above the patient chair, and other shiny equipment). None of this is necessary, but it's an added bonus in case you're looking for that type of dental experience. One improvement I would suggest is to create an email or text notification to manage appointments and reminders. I often get a reminder phone call 1 day before my appointment and by then, I may have scheduled over the time slot (my bad). My schedule is dynamic so having an easy way to change appointments without playing phone tag with Brenda could be beneficial for everyone.
