I am new to the bay and came to Dr. Tuck on…read morea dental emergency due to my temporary implant/crown coming loose (this work had already been started and was being completed in LA by a different doctor). Long story: Dr. Tuck found that gum tissue had grown around the implant and therefore the temp crown was not fitting back in properly and becoming lose. He called a couple of periodontist and tried to schedule immediate appointments for me to no avail. He even called my doctor in LA since my implant work was so close to completion and did not want to interfere with the process. Ultimately, Dr. Tuck carefully, effectively and gently was able to place the temp crown back successfully. I have never experienced such a personable and caring doctor.

Thanks!

Rizza's Grillz Retailing class was absolutely worth it! I…read morecame in anxious not knowing what to expect, but Rizza was able to reassure me every step of the way whether it was about pricing the grillz, filling out work-order forms to send to the jewelers, the consultation process, or especially the mold-impressions. They stayed an extra hour with me as they wanted to make sure I got the hang of creating passable impressions for the top and lower teeth. Last but not least, I walked out the door and was given all the supplies I needed to start away. In fact, I could have started taking impressions right then and there on the sidewalk!

I was referred here by a good friend for Dysport. I'd only received the neuromodulator once prior…read moreand so my experience is a little limited with med spas. Honestly, if I didn't trust my friend so much, I probably would not have set foot in this place or even considered it. The office front is small and it's located in a little strip mall in a sketch part of Oakland. When I looked it up, it also seems as though their services are extremely varied. This is not a med spa - it's more like a one stop shop for a variety of services. Getting to the nitty gritty... Cons: - sketch location - tiny office - extremely limited availability for cosmetic procedures; only 1 day a week, so if you're not available that day then you're looking at an appointment weeks to months out, or you're out of luck. Pros: - SANDRA IS AMAZING! Not only did she make me extremely comfortable with my neuromodulator injection, but I actually chose to come back to this office for fillers. I have zero regrets! Sandra is professional and very knowledgeable. She truly cares about her patients and provides detailed information, feedback and aftercare instructions.

When I first saw Alameda was getting a head spa, I was SO excited!! I've been to several head spas…read morein other cities so I would make a trip for a good head spa, so to have one in town: hooray!! They also perform hair loss services here, as well as hydrafacial, which I've also had elsewhere. So far I've only had their head spa. This review is overdue; I came for my service during their Mother's Day special. I've been wanting to return now that they have a mid-week special, but something has been holding me back, which I'll explain below. Their facilities are very nice, clean and new. For the head spa, they have you sit in a massage chair that reclines all the way back so that's a nice touch and different from other head spa places I've been. The head spa service overall was good. They are results oriented, doing before and after scans of your scalp, which is consistent with other head spas I've been to. The reason I can't give a full 5 stars is because of the massage. A major selling point for head spas, at least for me, is the massage. Other than the halo shower-head that has become synonymous with head spas, massage and relaxation are just as important for a good head spa experience as the scalp treatment and results. When head spas first came out and started getting popular, that was my main motivator for seeking them out. Unfortunately, the massage here left much to be desired... maybe they relied too heavily on their massage chair to cover that component, but there's no replacement for a good human scalp and shoulder massage. The other head spas I've been to also included a facial massage as a standard part of the head spa service. I can overlook the facial and shoulder massage (though those components really do elevate a good head spa experience), but unfortunately I was fairly disappointed with the lack of substantial scalp massage. I feel like the hands-on scalp massage was maybe 2 minutes, tops. It's honestly the one thing that's kept me from returning for another appointment. Going to the head spa is a luxury so if I'm going to pay a premium for a service, I want to feel like I got that premium. In my experience, the scalp massage is one of the primary components of a head spa service, with considerable time dedicated to the scalp massage (and shoulder and facial massage), as well as naturally worked in throughout the entire experience. I hate to say it, but my regular hair stylist gives me a better scalp massage during the standard shampoo and conditioning service for my haircut appointments. Because this place is results oriented around scalp health, I won't downgrade my review to a 3 since my opinion about scalp massage could just be a me thing. But if I'm rating my whole head spa experience alone, I can't give higher than a 3.5 at this time. I'm rounding up to 4 for the purposes of this review because I don't really think a 3 is quite fair overall.

This isn't your average neighborhood salon; it's a high-end, state-of-the-art sanctuary for scalp…read morehealth that feels more like a private club than a clinic. From the moment you walk into this brand-new space, you're treated like a VIP. The hospitality is immediate--I was greeted with a selection of snacks, macarons, and a crisp glass of champagne. The aesthetic is modern and clinical yet incredibly inviting. I had the 75-Min Signature Head Spa treatment. The process is brilliantly tech-forward. It begins with an AI scalp assessment where you see a high-definition breakdown of your scalp health. It's fascinating (and a little humbling!) to see the "before" details. The personalization continues as you select your preferred scent and an eye or face mask. But the real "wow" moment? The treatment chairs. I laid down expecting a standard salon sink, only to find the chair has a built-in full-body massage feature. While the specialist performed the deep cleanse, exfoliation, and steam treatment on my scalp, the chair worked out the tension in my back. The Results: The combination of the meridian scalp massage, the aromatic oils, and the high-frequency therapy is pure bliss. They finished the session with a professional blowout using the Dyson Airwrap, leaving my hair looking as refreshed as my scalp felt. For $199 (and an introductory rate of $129 for new clients), the value is exceptional considering the level of technology and the luxury amenities provided. If you're looking for a deep, clinical "reset" for your hair health wrapped in a five-star spa experience, this is the spot in the East Bay. === Hi I'm @jetsetjanine. 100+ country world traveler and 100+ Michelin Star diner.

Presley saved my skin!…read more After a year of searching for products that would soothe my acne and eliminate hyperpigmentation, I finally found my solution. I was experiencing frequent breakouts that left unattractive marks on my face, and I was so sick of it! It messed with my confidence and made me feel like I HAD to wear makeup on a daily basis. I'm a single woman, so this really put a damper in my dating life. When I went to Presley for a facial, she took such good care of me. From the moment I walked into her suite, I was greeted so kindly by Presley. Her shop is SO clean and beautiful, and I absolutely love the privacy. Presley gave me a deep clean and a light peel, and I even purchased a cleanser from her. One week later, my skin had no breakouts and was soooo clear and supple. I haven't worn makeup since! I couldn't wait to go back and see her for my next treatment because of how well my results were! Just one week, and I was already seeing so much improvement. I highly recommend allowing Presley to treat and pamper your skin. She is a wonderful technician who will absolutely take care of you and make you feel like a million bucks!

I do not recommend this business. They charge privately for all services and bill your insurance…read morefor you to get reimbursed at a later date. This was not pleasant but I was willing to accept even though I have dual insurance coverage and would not have to pay any portion. The unpleasant part of being a patients is you plan and budget to pay for a services such as exam and cleaning and when I showed up for the appointment they added X-rays and others services as well. Not a problem just would have been good to know about the added expenses I would be charging on my credit card. The bigger concern...the doctor did not review my X-rays with me and advised that I have a crown that is decaying which she seen on my X-rays and needed attention. Also advised to remove my silver fillings and replace them. What she did not expect was my response that I DO NOT HAVE ANY CROWNS IN MY MOUTH. Then she said well they must be a partial. Huh?? Not even that. I had a clear small filling sealer which still was 98%+ of my tooth still in tact. Wow. My childhood dentist who retired last year informed me that any good dentist will show you your X-rays and identify the problem with you, if not don't trust them. I mentioned to her that I would like to think and consult with my childhood dentist and she gave me the most rough and poor cleaning experience ever. Parts were so painful from the scraping I had to stop her twice. Then upon exiting, she refused to complete the exam and discussion then stated perhaps I should go back to my retired dentist for further service. And that they would email my X-rays to me. It's sad that Dr Pokeras the founding dentist left such a reputable establishment in the hands of such an undesirable dentist. Obviously I will not be returning here.
