Dr. Kami is exceptionally thorough. He takes his time, double-checks everything, and communicates clearly about what he's doing and why. I never feel rushed, and I always feel like my questions and concerns are taken seriously. Jen assisted with my most recent crown and was wonderful. 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'm very grateful to Dr. Kami, Jen, and the entire team for taking such good care of me. Highly recommend.

While punctuality is important, life can be unpredictable. I wholeheartedly recommend Aurora Organic Tanning for their perfect tans and fair approach to resolving issues.

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.

Top notch dentists - so why the low score?…read more I would give 0 stars if it were possible all due to my ongoing saga with the billing department. NEVER give them a credit card number. They charge your account without ever notifying you. I have not gone to the dentist in over a year because I'm so fed up with their asinine business practices. They charged me $600 on January 1st for their optional "extra" dental plan. I called them to resolve the issue and was told that yes, I'm considered an "inactive" client - so why charge me $600 no one can answer that question and its been a week and still no refund. They are crooks.

My…read moreappointment was over 2 months ago and the dentist could not determine which tooth was giving me problems...that's not her fault...it really is a mystery tooth. But then today I got this strange text saying I should come in for a root canal. How did we go from, "Not sure which tooth is the problem" to, "all these dentists think you need to see us for your root canal." Then I received a follow up call...an insane amount of background noise (mind you I have a migraine so it bothered me) and that human (so not another AI person) told me that the problem tooth is #3 and needs a root canal. It didn't seem like the human or AI were listening to what I was saying which left me with the impression that it's Christmas and they're hoping to get money from me. I stupidly signed up for a three year commitment from them and now I worry that they're just looking for reasons to find something wrong in my teeth to charge me. Many years ago I went to a dentist who said he found 10 cavities. That seemed suspicious so I got a second opinion and that dentist said I had zero cavities...this fiasco reminded me of that. I hope I'm wrong because in person this dentist seemed nice as did the XRay fella.

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 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.

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.

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!
