I'm extremely happy with my perfect gum grafting results and his excellent customer services. Dr. Tsai deserves unlimited stars. My first oral surgery for the left side was on 05/16/23 and the second surgery for the right side was on 11/15/23. My surgeries healed quickly, and the new gums look very beautiful. My entire gum was receding badly. Dr. Tsai removed gum tissue from the roof of my mouth and used it to rebuild my new gum. I chose not to be sedated so I experienced the whole process of the surgery. Dr. Tsai was very gentle and caring. He did everything so well and smoothly. I was relaxed and comfortable at the surgeries so I often fell asleep. When he injected me, I felt the needle in, but it was not hurt at all. I did not feel any pain during the surgeries and after the surgeries throughout the healing periods. Dr. Tsai called me on the same night of each surgery to ensure I was doing well. Dr. Tsai's tender loving care really touched my heart. The gum grafting makes my teeth shorter so I can floss and brush much easier. I truly appreciate Dr. Tsai for the efforts and creative skills he put into my surgeries. I felt safe and happy when having Dr. Tsai do my surgeries. He did exactly how I like. I'm a very selective person so it took me a long time to find the right periodontist. Prior to meeting Dr. Tsai, I had consultations with other 2 periodontists, but I did not feel confident enough to get surgery there. When I met Dr. Tsai, I knew he was my ideal periodontist. I don't mind paying a high price for gums grafting. I'm only worried when having the money but can't find an amazing Doctor like Dr. Eric S Tsai. He explained everything in detail clearly at the consultation. Dr. Tsai is an extremely intelligent, honest, active, energetic, strong, dedicated, kind, gentle, patient, caring, and nurturing doctor. I'm very satisfied with his excellent treatment and services. I'm blessed to meet Dr. Tsai. I strongly recommend friends, family members, and everyone to come to Dr. Tsai for gum grafting and more. When reading Dr. Tsai's business profile and background, I realized he is a successful periodontist and trustworthy. I was surprised that Dr. Tsai has the same birthday as my ex-husband:) They both have the same month, the same date, and the same year of birth. I wish my ex-husband had the same personality as Dr. Tsai's so I would not divorce him. Dr. Tsai is the best Periodontist I have ever seen. The dental hygienists are also great. They are patient and supportive. They made me feel relaxed and comfortable. They took time to thoroughly clean my teeth. My mouth was feeling fresh, and my teeth looked brighter. They provided me with instructions on how to maintain healthy teeth. Per my perspective, Dr. Tsai is great at leadership and has compassion, excellent interpersonal skills, and a strong work ethic. He trained his staff very well. Everyone there is very professional, welcoming, and friendly. Responsibility, Cleanliness, and Excellent customer services are Dr. Tsai's top priorities. Dr. Tsai has an artistic eye in all aspects. He is well groomed, and the color of his scrubs look very good on him. His office is beautifully designed and well organized. Moreover, Dr. Eric S Tsai is exquisitely handsome, and he has a very nice muscular body type. His voice is very nice and smooth. His eyes look very intelligent, charming, and attractive. His face looks very manly. His forehead and chin look fortunate. His nose looks prosperous. His beautiful and sweet smile brightens the world! I felt great and happy when having such an intelligent and handsome Periodontist to do surgeries for me, so my anxiety was relieved without needing sedation! Dr. Eric S Tsai is number one!!!

Largely thanks to Dr Sai and Sally I'm now in the preventative mode as it were with no serious issues. So I haven't needed to see Dr Tsai for a while but I always feel especially comfortable in his care If needed.

When I found out I had inherited this, I was really upset and intimidated. I had an exam , WHICH IS ALMOST PAINLESS. Today, Carrol gave me my first treatment. Carrol went above and beyond to make the process painless. Nitrous certainly help takes the edge off. A few shots of novacaine and an hour and 20 minutes later i walked out, unbelievably, without pain. Well, NO DUH... no pain because of being numb. But now, 4 hours later, and still no pain. For those of you that have to have this procedure, have no fear. My suggestion is to go to a specialist and not your typical dentist. I recommend Diablo Chiro without question.

I had the same experience as a Ava below. Prior to my…read moreappointment I provided them my insurance information. I had dual coverage and so I had asked them if there's anything I'd need to pay or any fees for the appointment. I was told that there is no fee for a consultation. After my appointment at check out I was asked to pay $178. When I asked why I was told that's just what they charge. So I went ahead and paid it hesitantly. Several months later they sent me another bill for $145. When I called the office and asked why, they said it was for the CT scan that they did. And I remember having a conversation with the assistant prior to getting the CT scan and asking if I would have to pay for that scan. Since one was already done by my referring dentist I don't want to have another done unless there would be no charge. They had me wait a long time while they checked if it was covered then I was told that it's free of charge. And now they are requiring me to pay the $145 months later because apparently it's not covered since one was done by my other dentist- which I specifically told them. I think it's bad practice for the office side of the business. The doctor was very pleasant and nice but I will not be getting my treatment here due to the devious way the office conducts its business.

Like many others, I'm not the biggest fan of those biannual cleanings (ouchy), but Kwon & Jabbour have made the experience as painless as possible. Their facility is clean, modern, and very high-tech. There's a lot of effort to ensure patient comfort and wellbeing. I didn't realize how outdated my previous dentist's tech was until I came here... And also realized how much smoother the teeth cleaning experience could be. Each time I've visited, the staff are professional, kind, and welcoming. I've been wary of predatory practices after hearing about peers' bad experiences with dentists-- fortunately, you definitely don't have to worry about that here. Dr. Jabbour and staff show genuine care towards patient wellbeing and patiently break down any treatments or recommendations if you have questions. I feel very reassured that they have my best interests in mind.

Dr. Maher is, quite simply, a tooth-saving artist -- and a real mensch…read more Not only is he an exceptional dentist, he actually makes his own crowns. That level of craftsmanship and precision is rare these days. You're not just getting dental work outsourced to a lab -- you're getting a doctor who takes full ownership of the outcome. The fit, the comfort, the aesthetics -- all outstanding. But what truly sets Dr. Maher apart is who he is as a person. He's deeply kind, ethical, and thoughtful in how he treats patients. As someone who values integrity and character, I can say he embodies it. He takes the time to explain options, never pressures, and genuinely wants to save your teeth whenever possible rather than rush to more aggressive procedures. A true tooth savior. The office staff? Warm, organized, and welcoming. They run on time and treat you like a human being, not a billing code. The dental hygienist is equally excellent -- thorough, gentle, and clearly committed to doing great work. If you want a dentist who combines skill, craftsmanship, and old-school decency, Dr. Maher is your guy. Five stars without hesitation.

Tylenol only helped 50% of the pain and I hard time sleeping. There was no cell service at the camping site. Upon my return back home, I did not hesitate to call Dr. Lacrampe's office. Marie, the receptionist, was able to make an appointment the following week. Thank you for the great customer service for a semi-emergency visit. I knew the tooth needed to be extracted. At my appointment, Dr. Lacrampe examined the back tooth and agreed it needed to be removed. Apparently, I had a big abscess, and my tooth was still loose. He and his SUPER-STAR assistant, Tracy, were able to help calm my anxiety. I hate getting shots. Tracy held my hand to comfort me. Both DR. And Tracy distracted me by talking about life while the procedure was being done. P.S. I'm not sure why recently a few YELPERS gave Dr. Lacrample's office low reviews.

My family member needed a LANAP laser gum surgery and I helped to do the research. There were nine…read moreoffices that do this surgery in San Francisco & East Bay and I called all of them. The price varies greatly ($3000 - $9000) for the same service . After I eliminated four providers from my basic research we visited the other five in person and met with the doctors. We chose Dr. Martin because he seemed to be the most knowledgeable and professional and his price is somewhere in the middle. It also helps that Dr. Martin and his staff are very nice and caring. It's almost three weeks after the surgery now and everything is great. P.S. Most of the general dentists charge higher fees than periodontists for the LANAP gum surgery (same amount of time, same machine, same procedure) and I don't understand why. Maybe they get less usage on the machine so they need to recoup more machine cost from each patient?? Anyway I'd rather use a periodontist for the gum surgery especially since their prices are even a little lower.

I was referred to Dr. Dwayne Martin, by Daniel Moore my Walnut Creek dentist…read more I needed a new type of laser procedure that would clean the gum pocket at my rear molar. At the initial visit, I was nervous. Dr. Martin is very calm, methodical, professional and kind. He listens and explains. He gave me the prescriptions that I needed for the procedure which were printed out, making it easy for the pharmacist to read. I had my wife drive me as one of the prescriptions was like a Valium which calmed my nerves and of course something like lidocaine to numb the area during the procedure. The procedure took about 45 minutes and I sensed that Dr. Martin and his support staff knew exactly what they were doing. I had no pain during or after the procedure and hardly any swelling. They also gave me nitrous and I could have them increase or decrease the flow by a hand signal. Actually, it was easier than having a tooth drilled for a cavity. That next day, Dr. Martin phoned me to see how I was feeling. I was surprised to receive a call, as no doctor has ever done that before! Dr. Martin also gave me his cell phone number is case of an emergency. I will definitely go back if I ever need dental surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Martin. PS You will like his staff as they make you feel at home, they are kind and caring.

He asked my sister and I to do the research and find him the best dentist to perform this all-important job for him as he had saved his money the last 2 years.  The first 2 places, Clear Choice and a well known oral surgeon in the area he disliked and dismissed immediately.  He said it reminded him of the time share sales pitches we experienced in Mexico.  We finally decided to ask our family dentist Dr Leung for a recommendation and surprisingly he said he did these full mouth implants in his office and has done them for many years.  He showed us his cases during a consultation with my dad, my mom, and I and our family decision was to go with him as we've always trusted him, and he did not overpromise.  6 months later, my dad has 8 implants on top and 6 implants at the bottom supporting his dental crowns, and he smiles and eats like a young man again.  We are glad we made our family decision to go with Dr Leung and he made the process easy and comfortable for my dad.  No surprises, everything as planned.
