5 stars and they continue to surprise me…read more Based on my visit on July 17, 2025, I want to add to my 5 star 2022 review, and to all the other positive things people have written here. The actions of everyone involved with that visit exceeded the already high opinion and expectations I've had for this practice. (Probably TMI, but I was returning after a 15-month gap, though the assumption at my last visit was that I'd have more dental work done and another cleaning before the end of 2004. I'd phoned earlier this week and Karissa was able to work some skilled scheduling magic to get me seen much sooner than I'd expected.) Dr. Lim was, as always, pleasant and skilled in his exam, and then excellent at clearly explaining the changes since he'd last seen me and what our options were for proceeding. Then he clearly and transparently answered my questions about the pros and cons of each option, and we agreed on a plan for the future dental work. Then, my teeth were cleaned by dental hygienist Kat (or Cat, shame on. me for not having clarified the spelling of her name, especially since this was the second time she'd worked on my teeth). For 20 years or more, until her retirement, Leslie had been the hygienist at this office who did my cleanings. She was excellent, and I figured she'd be a "hard act to follow," so it was a very pleasant surprise when Kat did my cleaning in 2024 and I realized that her skill level at both dental hygiene and patient interaction is everything one could possibly wish for, which was again the case on July 17. Also, the "desk staff" are always pleasant and helpful, including, of course, Mindy, who answered the phone when I called the next day to get the correct spelling of Karissa's name while neglecting to get the correct spelling of Cat's, and to explain that I was going to ignore the request to do a Google review but would add to my previous Yelp review. As I now have.

Then, I told my friend how they fashioned a video to take my teeth from all crooked to perfect with Invisalign (after been told by a dept head at a prestigious dental university this wouldn't work for me); she said that this practice told her whole family they need Invisalign!

Then they charged me $75 for it, at least double what any other practice was charging at the time. I can't wait to try a new dentist that feels like their priority is medical rather than commercial.

Dr. Kami is exceptionally thorough. He takes his time, double-checks everything, and communicates clearly about what he's doing and why.

The entire team is kind, attentive, and especially good with anxious patients. They listen, explain, empathize, and make a real effort to keep you comfortable. Even with three crowns, my experiences have been nearly painless. Dental work is never something I look forward to, but having a team that combines technical skill and attention to detail with excellent communication and genuine empathy makes an enormous difference.

I had a very disappointing experience with Dr. Sharon Albright's office, both with the dental work…read moreand with the front-desk staff. I came in as a new patient to have three damaged fillings repaired. Before scheduling, I specifically called to ask about insurance coverage because the practice was out of network. The explanation I received from the front desk led me to believe that my insurance would cover approximately 80% and that I would be responsible for the remaining balance and copay. Based on that conversation, I expected to pay roughly $500-$600. Instead, I later received a bill of approximately $1,500. When I asked the office staff to explain the charges and how the out-of-network coverage worked, they were dismissive and extremely rude. I ultimately had to figure out the insurance structure myself. A clear explanation upfront would have prevented much of the confusion. More importantly, the fillings were left uneven, creating a raised area that caused significant pain whenever I bit down. I remained in pain for approximately a month and had to return to the office twice to have the fillings adjusted. During the first follow-up, the dentist checked my bite and shaved the fillings, but the problem was not fully corrected, requiring another visit. During the second visit, while I was still experiencing pain from the dental work, the front-desk staff made me feel as though I should be grateful that the office was correcting work that should have been completed properly in the first place. They also treated me as though I might not pay my bill and would not allow me to see the dentist until payment was made. I understand requiring payment, but the way the situation was handled was unnecessarily disrespectful and humiliating. After this experience, I decided not to return. I later received a reminder for a previously scheduled cleaning, along with a warning that I would be charged if I did not cancel. The office only allowed cancellation by phone, adding another inconvenience to an already poor experience. Overall, I had to make two additional visits, experienced pain for about a month, received misleading information about my financial responsibility, and was treated very poorly by the front-office staff. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this practice.

I have had a lot of dental work done over the past 30 years and have been fortunate to have several excellent dentists during that time. Dr. Tapaltsyan is, by far, the best dentist I have ever had. What stands out to me is not only his skill, but the clear pride he takes in his work. He seems to approach dentistry as both a science and a craft, with a level of precision, care, and ongoing commitment to excellence that is rare to find. You can tell he is someone who continues to stay deeply engaged with the education, research, and advancement of his field, and that dedication shows in the quality of care he provides. The entire team at Berkeley Hills Dentistry has made my experience equally positive. The dental assistants are professional, capable, and attentive, and the front office staff has been excellent with scheduling, insurance questions, and explaining the cost of dental work. Everyone I have interacted with has been helpful, clear, and kind. I highly recommend Berkeley Hills Dentistry and the outstanding dental work of Dr. Tapaltsyan!

It is hard to find a good dentist; I sure am glad I found Berkley Hills Dentistry.
