There aren't enough stars to rate my experience with Dr Liao and her staff. Dr. Liao is an amazing Surgeon. Her knowledge and chair side manner is everything you could want from a Doctor. Over the years she has removed wisdom teeth for me, and a few years ago I needed an implant. That procedure was completed with no problems during the surgery and after 5 years the implant hasn't given me any problems. I normally get anxiety when I visit the dentist but not with Dr. Liao. She has a very confident and calming spirit that you'll feel from the moment you meet her, and you just know that you're being treated by someone that really cares about her patients. Recently I was referred to her office again by my dentist because I broke a tooth requiring her expertise, and as always Dr Liao was able to resolve the problem even though it was more complicated than my dentist and I imagined. I just want to acknowledge and say thank you to Dr. Liao and her excellent staff for the genuine care they give their patients. read more

I went to Parkside dental to have a tooth removed. That went very smoothly. However when I got home I noticed a loud cracking noise in my jaw. It happens every time I open my mouth . I have tried to find someone to fix it, but after visiting 3 oral surgeons none of them said that they could correct this. So now every time I open my mouth there is a click for the rest of my life. read more

Dr. Liao performed a surgical procedure (repair of a facial laceration) on my chin 06/29/11. I wouldn't send my worst enemy to her practice. She was not wearing a gown, mask or eye protection, nor did she give me eye protection. FAIL. For a Board Certified Oral Surgeon, she threw Infection Control 101 right out the door, along with my confidence in her as a clinician. Recap: While on the stairs carrying a metal space heater, I lost my footing and fell. The space heater hit the hard wood floor, and then my chin hit the space heater. I was alone at home and bled copiously onto my shirt and the floor but didn't move for a few minutes to make sure I was not concussed and wasn't going to lose consciousness going up the stairs to check out my injury. I donned sterile, surgical gloves and irrigated the area with sterile saline. I would have preferred to have injected myself with some lidocaine, but wanted to be able to describe any pain accurately to whomever was going to fix me up. Using a Sharpie, I marked where I noted swelling and where the pain was most acute. Then I dressed the wound and called for a ride to the dentist. Disclosure: No, I'm not your typical dental patient; I've worked as a professional in the field since 1995. So, yeah: I'm going to call Dr. Liao and her staff out on a few HIPAA violations, errors in billing protocol, and most important: subjecting me to contamination, disease, infection - you name it. 1st Visit: ER basis - Assistant took a digital panorex for Dr. Liao to review. I was very concerned that I might have fractured my teeth vertically, through the roots and might need reconstruction with implants. While waiting in a small consult room, I opened the cabinets (it's a habit) because I didn't see mounted glove stations or CaviWipes, which are should be stocked in EVERY operatory. Dr. Liao breezed in and announced that there was good news: nothing broken, no fractures. I asked to see my film, which for some reason surprised her. "Do you know how to read it?" she asked. Yeah, I do. And even if I didn't, wouldn't you, as a patient, want reassurance that everything was intact? Isn't that just... courteous and common sense? While charting up my medical history in the notes section, I mentioned as per my written forms (which were not in the room for her reference) that I'd donated a kidney, which she described as "kidney donation surgery". I was looking at the screen as she did this, and I corrected her: I had a donor nephrectomy. If you're a surgeon, write my f*cking medical history up in proper terminology; don't get lazy. I was exhausted from the whole ordeal already quite uncomfortable. I asked for Xylocaine as the local anesthetic because it lasts longer than Lidocaine, and I could already feel the bone bruising. She gave me LIdocaine, despite me asking twice for Xylocaine. Nice, huh? I was shocked when she didn't gown up or use ANY barriers other than gloves and proceeded to suture me up, her face hovering right above mine, inhaling and exhaling into an open surgical field. Microbes, anyone? You'd think she'd never heard of Dr. Louis Pasteur. My eyes widened and I was signaling with my hand, but I couldn't speak and she paid no attention. I got no written post-op instructions, nor did I receive a phone call from her to see how I was doing. Ever. My GP, however, was kind enough to call that evening and four other times since to check in with me. Through no fault of her own, Sandy @ the front desk was unable to verify my insurance benefits, which I later furnished for them, both medical and dental. I paid in full on the date of service. I had to tell Sandy how to bill my claim (the codes on my walk out statement don't match what they sent to Delta Dental) and that it was a violation of their contract as providers to continue to hold my money while my claim(s) were being processed. First, Sandy insisted that I would have to wait until the end of the month (July) until the bookkeeper came in. I had to explain that Provider Relations at Delta would probably revoke their contract as if they did that. I got my refund check over two weeks later. I also got post-op instructions which were written specifically for me, as Dr. Liao said I was not her typical case. Most were useless because they were written for the first 48 hours of aftercare. From my visits there, she is what I refer to as a 2nd or 3rd tier "molar popper". But visit the link on her website and yes, repair of facial lacerations falls under areas of expertise that Oral Surgeons (at least, good ones) possess. Dr. Liao didn't take any pre-op photos of my laceration, which is healing unevenly and has two hard bumps which she said must be scar tissue forming. Yet she wrote me a prescription for antibiotics. "I guess you'll have to have a consult with a dermatologist of a plastic surgeon," she said today, and shrugged. read more

Dr. Liao is great! A few weeks ago, I woke up with major pain in my jaw. My wisdom teeth were growing out and in a panic, I began calling every oral surgeon in Alameda. Dr. Liao was the second oral surgeon I called, and Sandy answered the call. She was very sympathetic and was able to schedule a same-day appointment for me! She even pointed me to their website so I could fill in my info before going in. Once I was in the office, they were able to see me quickly. I had emailed panoramic xrays to them earlier that day, and they had everything pulled up and ready to go! Dr. Liao came in to take a look, and was very personable but efficient. She told me that I would need to get my wisdom teeth out ASAP, and walked me through the procedure in detail. She even showed me a video of what would happen during the extraction. Sandy then came in to set up an appointment for me. I was in between insurances at the time and wanted to max out my previous insurance, and Sandy was able to work that out for me. She set an appointment for the following Tuesday, and made sure I had everything I needed. The following Tuesday, I went in for my extraction. Sandy, Roxie and Janel all greeted me by name and helped get me settled. They even told my friends to park the car in their driveway so it would be easier to help me out later. They gave me anesthesia and I woke up 30 minutes later with my wisdom teeth gone! The whole process took less than 40 minutes, and they gave detailed instructions to my friends. I went home and knocked out for hours, but when I woke up, I found a sweet voice message from Dr. Liao asking how I was. It's now been a week since the extraction and I am completely recovered! I originally had a post-op scheduled but couldn't make it, and the office staff were so helpful in making sure that I was recovering well. I definitely recommend Dr. Liao, and only wish that she could be my dentist too! read more

Avoid the services of Parkside Oral Surgery& Implants heady by Wendy Liao. This office is extremely unethical and profit driven. I was never notified of a $140 consultation fee & 6 months later charged for it. This office is a franchise headquartered in Texas. Enough said. read more

Dr. Liao is great and very nice and professional. She originally planned to take all 4 of my wisdom teeth out at once but she only had time for 3 because my bottom two teeth were impacted and very hard to get out. I guess I was also talking towards the end of my surgery so that didn't help her at all, lol ! The office is very nice and clean and all the workers are professional. The only problem I had was the time it took to get responses when it came to financing the surgery. Some emails and phone calls were not returned as promised but otherwise my experience was great! I experienced no pain at all during the surgery and even after the surgery my recovery was great and easy. I would recommend Dr. Liao to anyone that needs implants or their wisdom teeth removed. read more

I went to Dr. Liao to have a damaged molar removed. I've never had such a great experience with a dentist/oral surgeon. I felt very little pain during the numbing process. Dr Liao was excellent at explaining what she was doing throughout my tooth extraction. She and her staff were caring and very professional. My visit with Dr. Liao far exceeded my expectations. read more

I was in Dr. Liao's Alameda clinic a couple of times recently, including last Wednesday when she removed the first tooth I've ever had removed. I'm pleased with the care I received there, and found her staff to be pleasant and helpful. She also has a nice, clean, neat, and well-decorated office. If I decide to have a dental implant to replace my tooth in a few months, I will return to Parkside Oral Surgery and Implant Center. I enthusiastically recommend Dr. Liao's practice if you should be in need of such services. read more

I woke up the day after Christmas with some not so nice teeth pain. I guess that's what I get for being naughty. Since it was a Saturday, and a holiday, I had very limited options for any relief. I called several dentists and most were gone, but Bayside Oral Surgery was open, and had it not been for the awesome receptionist, Michelle, my mouth would be in ruins. Michelle alerted Dr. Liao of my situation and tried to schedule me for the earliest appt. on Monday. She called me back within an hour to confirm, as well as called in some pain relief for me to get through the weekend. Great follow through! I arrived at their offices on Monday and the vibe is relaxed and the staff is very calming--not eerily calm like "you're about to get a needle and some unpleasant experience in your face", but more of a "hey, we're going to take care of you" feeling. Dr. Liao didn't make me feel bad for procrastinating in getting this problem tooth out. She suggested I get the remaining wisdom tooth out too, and that it would be an easy, quick procedure. She was very thorough in describing the procedure, evaluating my x-rays and had a very nice demeanor. She didn't make me feel like a crazy whiner, because I'm sure some people had it much worse than I, but I never felt like a problem. I was scheduled for surgery the next day. Having never had my top wisdom teeth out, I always get nervous before surgery. The nurses were great and personable, and I didn't just feel like a number in a bib with an IV. I woke up from surgery groggy but confident that I was ok. I had a nurse, as well as Dr. Wendy call me later on that day to see how I was doing. (Apparently I needed a bit more anesthesia than your average bear, but I'm ok) I ALWAYS get the dreaded dry socket when I have teeth out. This time, I had none. Dr. Liao's job was quick, efficient and had no complications. So much so, that when I went back for my check up a week later, I was told I was healing surprisingly fast and doing great. That never happens. My sinuses are even better! Thanks to Dr. Wendy Liao, I have a few holes in my head, but not in my heart for Bayside Oral Surgery Group. read more

Dr Liao is fantastic. The surgery was a snap. I'm actually a little embarassed that I procrastinated so long and worried about it so much! Dr. Liao and her sweet-as-pie staff (including the front-desk gentlemen ... was his name Mark?) put me right to sleep, and while I was snoozing they took care of my wisdom teeth. They even let me keep the teeth! Apparently I asked for them sometime upon waking, which I have no recollection of ... I had no problems at all with the surgery or the aftercare. I know every situation is different, but you'd be putting yourself in excellent hands to choose Dr. Liao. She is incredibly sweet, friendly and very concerned with patient comfort. I've been having terrible headaches that may or may not be caused by my wisdom teeth, which I've scheduled for removal with Dr. Liao. She examined me and gave me all sorts of information about what may be causing the headaches. She also prescribed me some big ibuprofen to help with the headaches until surgery could take place. She informed me about different methods of anesthesia and let me choose which I was most comfortable with. I said, 'I think I'll snooze through this if it's OK with you ..." One thing that I really liked was a disclaimer I read while filling out paperwork, stating that patients who have severe pain are pushed to the front of the line for surgery, and thank-you to other patients for understanding. I might be a little inconvenienced if that happens to me, but I know that if I'm ever in severe pain I won't have to suffer. She also operates one Saturday a month for people who can't miss work. Her assistant and x-ray tech, Latoya, was just as sweet as sugar and the scheduling gal Ginger was really nice too. If you have to have oral surgery, I would recommend Dr. Liao. read more

I made a yelp just to rate Dr. Liao Shes literally the model for what I look for in a healthcare provider. I urgently needed my wisdom teeth out because they were causing me hella pain. Also, I needed them out ASAP so I could heal for something important next week. She took the extra effort to squeeze me in the day after my consultation to really accomodate my schedule. She also did an awesome job in prepping me for it all and following up with me over the phone. HIGHLY reccomend her! read more

As lovely as wisdom teeth extraction could possibly be! I went in on recommendation of my regular dentist to have 2 partially exposed wisdom teeth out (grateful for only having 2!). The office is gorgeous and immediately puts you at ease upon arrival. The ladies at the front desk are as lovely as they are helpful and made me feel right at home. For the consultation, Bob took a panoramic X-Ray (crazy cool!) and took a basic history in a clean and comfortable room. Dr. Liao shortly followed and explained the procedure in accordance to what showed up on my X-Ray. She was thorough, informative, and very friendly! I scheduled my procedure without hesitation. They called the 'scrips a few days before so I would already have them on hand when I got home. When the big day (today) finally came, I was nervous but that was quickly squashed by the staff's welcoming and friendly demeanor. Each of the staff took time to explain each and every thing they were doing which also helped put me at ease. Within minutes, i was in a chair, oxygen going, and I.V. in place on the first try which NEVER happens with me! I recall brief moments of consciousness during the procedure, but was out for the most part. Once we were done, they sent me off with a bag of "goodies" including gauze, aftercare directions, and tea bags. My recovery is going smoothly thanks to the meds, and was pleasantly surprised by a follow up call a few hours after the procedure. One of the things I appreciate most about this office is the time they take to explain every part of the process, before and during. For a worry wart like me it's rather comforting! Overall, I am happy with my choice in this office and would recommend! read more

Dr. Liao removed my wisdom teeth. She wasn't able to put me under, but she made all the accommodations that she could to make me feel comfortable, and was super quick with the operation. Her staff is very friendly and answered all my questions, and I had a lot too especially when it came to my post op care. I definitely recommend her if you like great bed side manner, and good customer service. read more

Dr. Liao is the best of the best! She is kind, caring, and incredibly knowledgeable and skilled. Her level of care and attention to detail is unparalleled. If you are looking for an awesome oral surgeon, look no further! Dr. Liao was really great about answering all of my questions, and she patiently took the time to explain what to expect during the surgery. I had a complicated tooth extraction, and I was amazed I didn't feel a thing during the procedure. I had no pain or swelling afterwards, and my gums healed so quickly. Also, her staff is friendly and professional, and her office space is really nice, clean, modern, and equipped with the latest technology. read more

Dr Wendy Liao and her team are fantastic!!! their services are outstanding and beyond professional!! Front desk and post-op staffs are very patient in explaining each procedure and cost, and Dr Liu is willing to discuss what is best for the patient. I am the patient who used to be afraid of dental treatment but now I finally found a doctor and a team who I can trust!! Really appreciated and highly recommend Parkside Oral and Dr Wendy Liao if you look for an oral surgeon. :) read more

Had my wisdom tooth pulled... But I noticed it wasn't healing and it hurt SO much. After a week went by (I wanted to wait a week to give a chance to heal), I called the office and they saw me the same day. She did everything she could to make rule out all possibilities, gave me antibiotics and scheduled a follow-up. Very pleased with her professionalism and dedication! read more

Came here for a tooth implant. Takes a number of appointments and about nine months. What an experience. The offices are very new and modern. The equipment seems very state of the art. The staff and the dental assistants were very friendly and professional. Dr. Liao is also very friendly and professional. First had to get a molar out. Went for the nitrous oxide and just about passed out. Love it. The gas really made the tugging, cracking, hammering, and pulling to remove the tooth tolerable. Had to wait months for the jaw to heal. Using tiny carpentry tools, Dr. Liao then drilled in the hollow screw implant into my jaw. Local novocaine used. Had to wait months again for the jaw to heal. Once they figured out after a few months that my jaw and gum had healed nicely around my implant, they were able to slice open my gum tissue using novocaine to expose the head of the implant and place a flat head screw into the implant. We waited another few weeks for the gum to heal around the flat head screw before undergoing a scan to make a new fake molar. A month later, Dr. Liao removed the flat screw and screwed in the screw for the permanent implant. I went right over to my dentist who glued the new fake tooth into the implant screw and now everything works great. Took a bit to coordinate having back to back appointments with Dr. Liao and my dentist to get the tooth in. Adequate metered street parking, with free street parking on nearby Broadway. If you need an oral surgeon, I'd go see Dr. Liao for sure. read more

Dr.Liao and her staff are incredible. I went to this office after being recommended by my dentist, and I'm so glad that I chose this place to take care of me when I needed to take THREE wisdom teeth out. Teresa (billing person) was awesome at explaining how much my insurance would cover and how much everything was going to cost me. There were no surprise bills, and everything costed exactly how much she said it would when I came in for my consultation. Sandy (nurse/assistant) was really good at answering all of my questions, and was so empathetic with all of my concerns, even though I'm sure she has answered similar questions hundreds of times! Oscar (front desk) also was extremely accommodating and answered all of my questions. I am the type of person where if something is stressing me out or I'm nervous about it, I will ask TONS of questions. I even tend to ask very stupid ones, and I have zero shame about it. Everyone at the office was patient, knowledgeable, and tried their honest best to help me. It is rare to come across a medical office where everyone is a rockstar, but that's totally the case in this office! I really like that this office uses a lot of equipment that is state of the art and very new. It really does seem like Dr.Liao tries her best to stay up to date with best practices, which I love! I highly recommend Dr.Liao :) read more

I was referred to Bayside Oral Surgery for my wisdom teeth extraction. I did a consultation with another doctor and didn't meet Dr. Liao until my surgery. But maybe it's a credit to her that the surgery was a breeze (despite taking 5 tries to find a vein to administer the general anesthesia). I did not have much pain and didn't really need to take the medication prescribed. She also called a few hours after the surgery. I was asleep and when I called her back, I left a message and was promptly called back again. read more

Thank you Dr. Liao for your great job! I was so nervous that my girl would cry crazy but your team is amazing... so warm and sweet to my daughter. Thank you so much! read more

Dr Liao and her team are the best. Had an implant for a cracked molar. The entire team is so nice and professional. The office is modern and super clean. Dr Liao's bedside manner is fantastic, so happy and hi energy, almost made me forget I was at the dentist. Highly recommend! read more

Dr. Liao extracted both my husbands and my wisdom teeth. She did an excellent job! I had absolutely no swelling or pain whatsoever, my husband had pain the first day (he is a man) and a tiny hint of swelling on one side for a couple days. It was a thousand times easier than either of us expected and a far less traumatic experience than our friends who have gone to other doctors. Go see her, she is the best! read more

Dr. Liao is knowledgeable and professional, did great work for my daughter. Turned a nervous experience into a quick and painless one. Thank you! read more

So glad I didnt use them. Aside from being unprofessional, come to find out they are very dishonest. Our initial pre-treatment plan had $50 deductible despite dual insurance. After changing from 30min general anesthesia to 75 min, our out of pocket came out to be $334 (mind you that's after dual coverage) . Called the insurance today, they confirmed we should have ZERO out of pocket for my daughter's surgery. read more

My 10 year old son needed four teeth taken out as he gets ready for braces. I decided that general anesthesia was best for him since he doesn't endure pain very well. I was so scared about the surgery going wrong that I was in tears just before the surgery. It turns out that Dr. Liao was done with the surgery in 10 minutes and the rest was recovery. Her staff is so kind and takes the time to make you comfortable with the procedure. My son's recovery was easy. He stopped bleeding before we left Dr. Liao's office and we gave him only one dose of regular children's Tylenol when we got home. (Not codeine) The novacaine wore off after an hour of being home and he didn't complain of any pain. I only have to mention that Dr. Liao's billing person (Sandy) could be better. As soon as the surgery was done, she said, "ok, let's take care of the payment now". I didn't let this get to me since she isn't the one in the room helping out with the procedure. Thank goodness! Overall a great experience and would recommend Dr. Liao. read more

Dr Liao is honest and highly professional. Got all my 4 wisdom teeth removed there and no complains! I was presented with multiple options and their consequences: whether to remove all 4 or just the troubling two, what kind of anesthesia I can have, etc. After the surgery I recovered within couple days with no side effects read more

I don't normally write reviews unless I feel strongly about the place and experience. Dr. Liao is so amazing! I came in for a wisdom tooth extraction and first we had the consultation appointment which was very informative; you watch a video and then you consult with Dr. Liao, who talks you through all the options and evaluate the risks and benefits. The actual surgery also went really smoothly and everyone involved is so nice and patient. Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Liao and I would definitely trust her skill and expertise. read more

I had a really traumatic experience with my first wisdom tooth removal where i was not treated very respectfully by my surgeon and therefore did not have any confidence going into the surgery. Because of that last experience i was really scared for this surgery. Dr. Liao made me feel very confident. maybe its because the building used to be spa, but it was a very relaxing place to be. I recovered from surgery very quickly and it was very painless. I would recommend Dr Liao for all wisdom teeth removals in Alameda. read more

Very nice people... They help me ASAP when i'm in pain, due to my wisdom tooth needs to be taken out! Very friendly staff & specially Dr. Liao!!! read more

I am writing a review of my 8 year old's 3 baby teeth extraction. I would not recommend Dr. Liao for this procedure. She said the line that I cringe when I hear "Its hard to tell the difference between pain and pressure". This was said when my son was in significantly more pain than he should have been when having his baby teeth removed. Having been down the dentist/oral surgeon path myself, I know there is a difference, period. The procedure should have been painless, it was not. Second problem: my child developed a high fever that evening. His pediatrician wanted me to speak to the oral surgeon before deciding treatment. When I called Dr. Liao's office (around 5pm) I followed the voice mail instructions to call another Oral Surgeon's office (Berger in Berkeley). When I called them they were surprised they were on call for Dr. Liao. It was an odd conversation but I had a great conversation with the on call doctor (fever was not related to the procedure with Dr. Liao). I assumed on Monday (my son's extraction was on a Friday) Dr. Liao would at least check in with us - nope. Never heard from the office except for the bill for what our insurance did not cover. Next time we will go with Berkley Orinda Oral surgery. Worth the drive to be pain free. UPDATE: Dr. Liao called me about this review. She was very concerned about my sons experience and apologized for it. She explained that in the clinical setting there are patients who can't distinguish between pain and pressure. She also said she normally calls patients after procedures but felt the on-call doctor had managed the issue (which was not due to the extraction). I gave her a few more stars for calling and discussing the experience we had at her office. While I will still go elsewhere, I do appreciate her willingness to discuss our experience, and her ability to hear what I had to say about my son's experience. read more

I recently saw Wendy Liao to have a wisdom tooth removed. It has been a lot of years since I had the last one out, and I wasn't looking forward to it. I procrastinated 6 months. I need not have worried. I have only one concern when I go to a doctor - I want to know how good they are at what they do. I don't care how pretty their office is, how friendly the staff is or is not, whether the bathroom is out of toilet covers or not, even whether I receive a phone call afterwards or not. None of those things tells me if the doctor is a good one. The only way to find that out is through experience. It is extraordinarily difficult for the layman to judge whether a dentist is a good one or not in advance. It is much easier to select a doctor than a dentist. If nothing else, if your doctor graduated from Yale, Harvard Medical School, and did a residency at Johns Hopkins, you have some indication of capability there. It's not so easy with dentists or oral surgeons. In this case, I had to rely on the recommendation of my dentist. I was not disappointed. In fact, I was totally thrilled with the quality of this experience. Dr. Liao gave me a consultation the day before my surgery, and explained everything in great detail. I had brought an x-ray from my dentist, but she made her own with the fanciest x-ray machine I have ever seen. No bite-wings here! Then she showed me the X-ray and explained exactly what she would do and why, where the nerve was situated in relation to the tooth's roots, what the possible complications could be, and so on. Then she told me that she would not charge me for the X-ray because I had brought mine in, even though it did not show enough of the nerve for her to use it! I would never have questioned paying for another X-ray, so that was a very pleasant surprise. I had general anesthesia, and it was totally painless. I went home at about 10 am and spent the entire rest of the day working at my computer. She had instructed me to get prescriptions for pain and antibiotics in advance, but I never needed a pain pill at all. Wendy Liao is one superb oral surgeon! I had no pain, hardly any bleeding, and worked nearly a full day following the surgery. It doesn't get much better than that. Especially since I'm 73 years old. As I write this I see to the right of the screen a review from Kim D who had a cut on her chin sutured by Dr. Liao. I find it hard to believe that we saw the same surgeon. She complains about everything imaginable: the lack of latex gloves (they are in cases mounted on the outside of the cabinet doors - how could she miss them? Especially as she says she went through the contents of the cabinets!); she didn't wear a gown, or mask, and on and on. I can tell you that was not the case when I saw Dr. Liao nearly two weeks ago. When a person comes in, goes through the cabinets, opens the garbage can and takes a photo, takes pictures of everything, and on and on, and posts it on the Internet, I assume they have a hidden agenda. Maybe it's to show the world how much she knows about the medical profession, since she says she is in that field. Maybe it's jealousy because she never became a doctor herself. Who knows? All I know is that Dr. Liao did a medical procedure for me with a result that was quite far above my expectations. I don't think she deserves to be trashed by a malcontent who was treated on an emergency basis at the last minute and then dissed the doctor who made room for her in her own very busy day. Instead of complaining, why didn't Kim D. go to her own dentist or doctor? If she has one who is willing to treat her anymore, that is. Marjorie W. read more

Dr. Liao and her staff her great and friendly. I went in for a wisdom tooth extraction and it took Dr. Liao really quick to get it out. I wasn't in much pain afterwards either. The office is very nice, clean, and professional. Highly recommended. read more

Dr Liao is highly knowledgeable and skilled, I'm a doctor myself and recommend her with no reservation!! She took care of my fractured molar as promised - absolutely painless and scheduling with her was a breeze. She's a superb addition to the Alameda health care community. read more

Dr. Liao and her staff went above and beyond for me. My wisdom teeth extraction was done the following day after I visited the dentist and I did not have to take any pain medication at all. This really shows how clean and consise her extraction process is.Sandy at the front desk answered all my questions, assisted me with bill overview, and made the experience that much better. I would highly suggest this location for any major oral work, and there is nothing better then a confident and kind DR to help you. If I had any more wisdom teeth to pull it would be here. read more

After a worse-than-nightmare experience at Western Dental (that business should be shut down by Dept of Consumer Affairs for fraud, incompetence, and harassment), I "yelped" nearby places that offered implant surgery as I'd recently lost a molar. The pre-surgery consult and f/u were thorough and pleasant. The surgery went flawlessly and, judging my the x-ray of the completed job, the actual implant was perfectly aligned/place. Her staff were all helpful and courteous (Bob is an absolute delight and his knowledge and skills and personable manner went a long way to lower my pre-procedure anxiety. I can't think how any aspect of this could have gone any better and I encourage anyone contemplating implant surgery to replace a missing tooth, to GO FOR IT! And have it done here by Dr. Lian's team. If I had the money, I'd have all my natural teeth replaced with implants - no more toothache ever again ... no more decay ... no more cavities! read more

Wendy and her staff are the best! I needed dental implants for my two front teeth and Wendy took care of me! Throughout the whole process she was courteous and professional. She was patient with my questions and really helped me feel comfortable. During the healing process, she checked in with me frequently and was available for all my inquiries. Thankfully, I never had any infections, and the healing process was just as Wendy described it. It has been two years since she did my implants and to this day, I have two straight front teeth! Three years ago I could not bite directly into an apple, now I can bite into anything with CONFIDENCE!. You can TRUST Wendy to take care of you! read more
