    Dr. Carter came highly recommended and the care I received in his office was exceptional! Dr. Carter and his staff are the most caring individuals I have ever come in contact with in the dental field! My new smile is beyond compare; my best word of description is "perfect!" I find myself smiling more and my confidence has soared. Dr. Carter's office is a place where you will feel right at home and be treated with special care and consideration! My appreciation for his expert work is beyond words!

    "Not all dentists are created equal." This is the conclusion I reached after Dr. Ronderos treated…read moreme. Let me explain: I went to Dr. Ronderos at the recommendation of my Endodontist, Dr. Jean Yang. I had been going to my regular dentist for 10+ years (not naming names, but let's just say I will not go back to that dentist anymore). For about 2-months, my teeth grinding (bruxism) had gotten worse, and it was giving me progressively worsening SEVERE pain on my left lower molar. When I went to my regular dentist (actually 2-times). Without taking an X-ray for either exam, he visually examined me and concluded that my teeth looked fine. He said to keep using the night guard. And if the pain persists or gets worse, he would recommend a tooth extraction and an implant - due to the worsening pain. After my 2nd (and maybe last) visit, I knew I needed a 2nd opinion. So I went to see my client, who happens to also be a Peridontist (just like Dr. Ronderos). He agreed to examine my left lower molar and took an X-Ray and did a full exam on all the teeth. The X-Ray showed an active infection, so he prescribed some antibiotics, and his recommendation was that I do a Root Canal for that left lower molar, and he gave me a referral to his Endodontist, recommending a Root Canal. Thinking that I would need to do a Root Canal for sure, and wanting to locate a good Endodontist, I called around various Endodontist based on Yelp Reviews and I luckily found Dr. Jean Yang (Woodside Endodontics) on my own. At this point, I am completely on my own, with a severe and worsening tooth pain from severe daily teeth grinding and an active infection, thinking the worst - that I needed a Root Canal ASAP to relieve myself from the daily, VERY SEVERE tooth pain. Dr. Yang took a very methodical approach and gave me a thorough exam, and she first took X-Rays, then examined the teeth carefully, then she recommended to take a CT Scan to ensure there is no crack or fracture on that teeth. Her conclusion, after the detailed exam, is that the Root Canal may not be the correct solution. Given my teeth grinding and bruxism, she said even if she performed a Root Canal and saved that teeth, the bruxism would eventually crack that teeth and the Root Canal would be useless, because I would likely need an extraction and an implant. She said I have a peridontal issue, and she recommended me to see Dr. Ronderos. She said Dr. Ronderos is very busy and it might be difficult to get an appointment. I chose Dr. Ronderos because he was recommended by Dr. Yang, and I really want to best, most qualified dentist to work on my teeth. I was luckily able to get an appointment due to a cancellation, and saw Dr. Ronderos last week. Dr. Ronderos may have saved my teeth and made it unnecessary to do a Root Canal or an Implant. Dr. Ronderos looked at my CT Scans, and he carefully examined my teeth and my bite, and he concluded that I have an uneven bite, causing my teeth to exert significantly more pressure to my left bottom molar teeth. Imagine if that left bottom molar is the only teeth at the highest location, and is the only teeth that comes in contact with the top left molar, essentially getting ALL the pressure exerted throughout the day and into the night with bruxism. And even with the night guard, I would still wake up with a loose, shaky left bottom molar with SEVERE pain because that 1 singular tooth just got pummeled DAILY with all that grinding and pressure. So, Dr. Ronderos explained to me: I have 2 options: Option 1: Extract and Implant. Success rate is 98%. But there is Option 2, which he recommends, which is: adjust the teeth (grind/level down the teeth enamel slightly and grind down the night guard slightly - so that when I bite, the pressure would be evenly distributed throughout all the teeth, and not just on that 1, poor left bottom molar). He did a careful exam with the color strip, asked me to bite down and grind my teeth. He looked at the coloration on my molar, and my night guard, and did some careful adjustments on both the bottom left molar and the night guard. He also tested to ensure the nerve under that bottom left molar is still alive and well, and responsive to electric magnetic test, so that it would be worth saving. After all these tests, and careful adjustments, I left Dr. Ronderos' clinic with a renewed sense of optimism, and asked myself: "Why isn't every dentist like Dr. Ronderos? A dentist who carefully examines the patient and makes proper adjustments to really address the root cause of the problem." I left his clinic with a lingering tooth ache (from the grinding), however, 2 days after Dr. Ronderos' adjustment of my left bottom molar and the night guard, I now no longer feel pain, and I feel like that bottom left molar is becoming stronger and better, and now it no longer hurts. When I wake up, I no longer feel pain, and I don't need a Root Canal or an Implant. Dr. Rondero's and Dr. Yang are the only dentists I trust. Go see them!

    Looking for the best doctor to do an implant for me, I did a lot of shopping around; research;…read moretalking to people; reading reviews; etc.. I settled on Dr. Ronderos, and I was not disappointed. Every step of the process went very well. Dr. Ronderos' outstanding reputation is well-deserved. He is tops in the field; stellar at what he does; communicates well; professional and kind. And his medical assistants and office staff are awesome. Highly recommend.

    I give Dr. Reddy five stars without hesitation. I am extremely anxious about dental work and had…read morebeen dreading a wisdom tooth extraction for days. I was originally referred to a different oral surgeon, but deep down I knew I could not go through with it because I did not feel comfortable. By chance, I reconnected on Facebook with my former dental hygienist who knows my anxiety well. She immediately understood and strongly recommended Dr. Reddy. She even reached out to him personally to let him know about my fears. When I met Dr. Reddy the very next day, I instantly felt at ease. His calm demeanor, compassion, and genuine understanding of dental anxiety made all the difference. When I asked when the procedure could be done, he surprised me by saying, "How about now?" I chose to have only local numbing and truly did not feel a thing. Dr. Reddy and his assistants kept me calm and distracted the entire time. The follow-up care was just as impressive, with a video check-in one week later and an in-person visit the following week. I am so grateful I found Dr. Reddy, and I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone who feels anxious or fearful about dental procedures.

They explained my procedure thoroughly, efficiently completed my impacted tooth extraction, and communicated with me after my surgery to ensure my recovery was going smoothly. They provided detailed aftercare instructions and encouraged me to reach out at any time for further assistance with healing. I recommend Dr Reddy's office and all of his workers at the office. And a bonus, they let me keep the tooth!

I definitely have dental anxiety and low…read moretolerance for pain, so I dread going to the dentist but Dr.Fong and his team have really helped take that fear away. I really appreciate how they take the time to explain what's happening, why, options for me and are quite gentle in their approach overall. I appreciate they ask me holistic questions since dental health is more than just our teeth. Dr.Fong also did a couple of procedures - he walked me through it so I would know what to expect, checked in throughout and they were painless, yay!! Jennifer, my dental hygienist, really does a great job in patiently explaining the process and procedures as well. She's got a great eIQ where she notices any subtle grimace and asks how I'm doing to offer any adjustments she might recommend. It helps me feel assured and safe. They recently moved to a new, state of the art, modern facility in Atherton, which is quite nice. There's a private parking lot as well as plenty of street parking.

He always has the most updated medical equipment on the market and is intentional about having the best for his patients 2. His and his staff's work has always been top quality for me and I've never had issues 3. He won't push you to do something that isn't needed and he will suggest when it is necessary for your well being 4. He is the NICEST most friendly man! 5. Setting appointments is easy. He does get booked up in advance but they always will work with you to find a time that works and will message you if they find a better time that suits you - proactive Dr! 6. His connections to other experts - he has a top notch network of other Drs who are at his same level. I had my gums graphed and it was A+ work 7. Did I mention he's the nicest guy? ;) 8. He TRULY cares about his patients. Authentic, connected and with high integrity. His new office is WOOOOOWWWWWWW! I'm so grateful I found him 14 years ago.
