I am one of the many people who were traumatized as a child in the 1950's by a brutal dentist. To this day, at age 74, I am freaked out in the dentist chair. Dr. Madhura Sen isn't just a great dentist but she is also empathetic, compassionate, and very patient w me which helps me get through My fears. I highly recommend Dr. Sen and the staff of Pinole Modern Dentistry.

My experience was... yep you guess it right terrible. 5+ hours for a filling is insane. They had so many patients with not enough staff delayed appointments which resulted to a "rush" job. I was presented with tx plans that was unnecessary, and from what I can remember I paid hefty out of pocket costs. They gave me a document that stated " if my insurance rejects billing that I'm liable to pay for all of my dental costs" lol Overall this business is for profit. Think twice before coming here. Do your RESEARCH or yelp reviews to make sure you have the best experience and quality care for your insurance and money. **Statements from previous clients should give you time to think thoroughly before making any decisions** Good luck.

Dr. Rosales handled both very skillfully. The filling is on the outer face of my tooth, and it was immediately unrecognizable from the surrounding surface. Not to mention that he always calls to check on me and see how I've been recovering after the procedures. I'm still recovering from getting my wisdom teeth out last week, but I'm glad I came to him for it!

First visit with Dr. Tsang and staff. From my first phone call to Crystal explaining why I was…read morelooking for a new dentist, to the efficiency of new patients forms emailed (less direct contact during COVID-19), to discussions of wether or not I should get prior records to my first visit, I could not have felt more positive about being a person that was cared for and not a faceless number. Welcoming, professional and compassionate at every encounter. A day before my appointment I was emailed a Covid questionnaire, and my temperature was taken upon arrival. Staff wearing masks and face shields. A very efficiency run practice. Crystal who answered the phone also did my x-rays, the doctor also took photos of my teeth, did a full examination, went over my hot spots with suggestions and treatment plans, and he did my cleaning. The dental assistant was in there assisting with water and suction while the doctor used the ultrasound to clean, picks for under the gums and polished. Quick, painless (always checked to see if I was comfortable and could raise my hand to indicate sensitivity) and professional. Dr. Tsang and I had a frank discussion about my gums and overall teeth health and I left with a plan, follow up visit and equipment to better care for my oral health. Your parting gift bag does not include a .50 generic toothbrush and floss, but a spin brush for better gum health, floss and toothpaste. He also suggested using an air floss which I purchased from him for less than Target prices (I checked). Dr. Tsang and his office are true professionals who care for your health and treat you as a person and not a wallet. Their cash client discounts are significant and much better than my prior who only gave me 10% discount. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you Dr. Tsang, Crystal and staff!

My bad I didn't ask enough on my first two visits but the concerns have been resolved in today's visit. Receptionists and dental assistants are still very nice, helpful & thoughtful. Dr. Tsang tried his very best and did a great job on fixing the diastema and reshape without numbing. This time I asked lot of questions, make sure there was no miscommunication and on the same page before the fixing processes. Dr. was willing to explain and communicate, which ended up I am satisfied with the results, no pain, that matters the most in a dental visit - GENTLE WITH NO PAIN!

I am vulnerable to covid, so I need to take precautions. They were great about that. All staff wore masks, as well as patients before they were being worked on.

If you need a new dentist, I would highly recommend this place.

It's been more than a year since I wrote my original review and I must say, despite some nostalgia…read morefor my former dentist (RIP), my family continues to be patients of Dr. Yu. In fact, due to the recent shake up of so many dentists not taking Delta Dental, we moved our kids there too. So now the whole family goes. I basically just go for cleanings... twice a year despite the recommended 3 times.. (the third one would not be covered. Penny-wise and pound foolish, perhaps, but two times in a year has done me well so far.) My only gripe is a minor one. I like continuity and having the same person do my cleanings. I had Tui at first and then it was another one whose name I forget but she did it perhaps twice so I was growing accustomed to her. Last time I went, they had a person who was, per what she told me, a temporary person. She kinda rushed it, with no nice comments or feedback regarding my flossing. About which.. I can't remember if I mentioned it but their previous comments gave me a complex about my flossing. So I switched to that Oral-B charcoal and mint where the floss is black. And it is so satisfying to floss with it and actually see the plaque that is scraped away. It shows up against the black thread of the floss. To be candid, I was waiting for some props on results of the improved flossing and felt a bit deflated when they never came. Oh well... first world problems as they say. Of course, nothing is perfect and the best evidence of my satisfaction level is my continued and expanding business with the doctor. And in any case the front desk staff is always super nice, welcoming, professional and great with kids. Keep it flossin!

This place is a total scam and they should be ashamed of themselves.
