I know Dr. Verber is a top doctor in this specialty, and he handled my extraction and implant like the pro that he is. What surprised me is that he was also very compassionate and took the time to answer all my many questions. Dr. Verber office (I spoke with Sandy) is helpful, efficient and drama free. read more

Dr Veber and his whole staff are amazing! I was nervous about getting a gum graft and put it off for a while, but I'm glad I came here to get it done. The procedure went smoothly and Dr Veber was very kind and professional. My recovery was smooth and my graft area is fully healed and feels normal. If anyone else is feeling nervous about a gum graft I recommend giving Dr Veber and his team a chance! read more

Dr. Veber and his office staff is fantastic. He is firm and factual about what needs to happen with your teeth. But not judgmental in how he communicates with you. The staff is super friendly and efficient. I would definitely recommend. read more

Dr. Veber has helped me with a number of dental procedures. I have only good things to say about him and the excellence of his services. He is a gem!! read more

Dr. Veber is knowledgeable, skilled, exceedingly generous with his time, and cares deeply about his patients. I received an implant a few years ago and he has been available to follow up and discuss questions and concerns I have had related to the stability and health of the implant after problems I was having with a crown placed by my regular dentist. He is highly recommended by many dentists and I would endorse him for anyone who finds themselves in the unfortunate position of needing an implant. The office staff is also friendly and compassionate! read more

The doctor extracted a tooth, implanted two posts. Everything went well. The office is managed very well. And great bedside manners.

My lower teeth have gum recession. I was putting off getting a gum graft but I finally did with Dr. Verber and I'm so glad. He listened to my concerns and anxieties and was very confident that it would go well, and it did, and it wasn't as painful as I thought it would be. read more

My 73 old mother Joyce was a previous patient and had Dr. Yuri install a implant on #8. My mom decided to patronize another dentist because she did not understand the process. As her daughter I stepped in because she is missing toot #8 (front tooth). I tried reaching the dental off at 510 9230699 several times and left messages with no response. read more

I was referred to Dr. Veber because of gum inflammation and bleeding. Dr. Veber told me "it looks like a reaction to something" and "these things usually resolve on their own" before prescribing me a cortisone ointment to help with the symptoms. The inflammation kept coming back and when I returned to see him, I told him that the gum problem was still there despite the cortisone ointment. He asked me, "Was that prescribed for lichen planus?" Wait, you're asking ME what you prescribed the ointment for? Don't you keep notes on your patients? "Well, you told me it was some kind of reaction to something, but I was wondering if it might be lichen planus," I replied. He shook his head. "It doesn't look like lichen planus," he said. Hm. If it doesn't look like lichen planus, why would you ask me if you - YOU, not some other doctor - had prescribed something for that condition? He went on to say that it seemed to be some sort of chronic inflammatory condition, and suggested that I either have him do a biopsy, or I could go to the UCSF oral pathology department to get a diagnosis. "Do I need a referral from you to go to UCSF?" I asked. "No, no. Just call them up for an appointment, you don't need a referral. If they want one, I can give you one. Just google their phone number." I googled them and their website says they don't see patients, they just provide pathology service to clinicians who send in tissue samples for analysis. I called Dr. Veber's office, told the assistant that the website said the oral path people don't see patients. "Oh yes, yes they do," she responded. She said she'd check with the doctor and get me a referral. The next day I called back and got the same assistant. "I looked at the website, and you were right, they don't see patients," she said. She scheduled me for a biopsy with Dr Veber. When he did the biopsy, he put the sample in a vial, and placed the vial in a prepaid FedEx mailer addressed to UCSF. Then he handed the package to me and asked me to drop it off at a FedEx office. Now, is it just me (and everybody I've told this to), or is that a little flaky, asking your patient to do your FedEx run? If I hadn't been so stunned I would have asked for a discount on my biopsy (for which he charged $685) for doing his courier job. The biopsy showed an autoimmune condition. After doing some more reading online I discovered that there is an oral MEDICINE department at UCSF, which is different from oral pathology, and they do see patients. I saw wonderful doctors there and feel on the way to getting my symptoms under control. Why Dr. Veber couldn't figure out the correct department for me, I really don't know. read more

I had just received a bill for my surgery that was pre-authorized. Sandy (billing) said the EOB came back as not a covered benefit. I was upset that I was billed. Her comment to me was "It is what it is, what do you want me to say" I cant believe that she can be so unsensitive. I told her that she was rude and that comment was so unnecessary and perhaps "Im so sorry but.." I generally do not have a problem with Dr. Veber's office. I had actually left a positive review at first (erased) Sandy should of just had said " I couldn't care less" Express some gratitude for having a job. It is not easy to just pay additional $500.00 when a pre-authorization was done. Although, it may not be no fault of yours, being rude, insulting and uncaring reflects Dr. Veber's office as a whole. Teach yourself what standards doctor/health care professionals are held to. When a patient comes to you about a concern, you need to sit up and listen. The fact that I see this behavior indicates to me that others will see it too. Sandy (billing) you should be the leader and "Model the Way" for those you encounter. It is so unfortunate you are lacking in customer service skills; because the guidelines you can set will help with office procedures/ improvement. Sandy, you need to demonstrate respect and patience with your Dr. Veber's patients and do not take things so personally and perhaps your next review on yelp will be positive. read more

There's a reason Dr. V has all these 5 star reviews. I was a patient a year or so back for an implant, and again recently for more implants. He does a great job, with excellent results and has the best communication I've seen from any medical or dental practice, any where, any time. Highest recommendation. read more

I just went today for my second tooth extraction and an implant later on. I cant be more happy to have Dr. Veber taking care of that. He is extremely professional and good and at the same time very compassionate and understanding. I almost fainted from fear on that chair but he as a way to reassure you like no one else has ever done. I would not want anyone else but him to extract one of my teeth or do an implant. His staff is also very efficient, on top of things and professional. I am very happy and grateful to be his patient. read more

I had a pleasure of meeting Yuri again yesterday June 22 he did an implant for me in 2009 also moved out of state and had to see couple specialist due to crack in my tooth's root them and my dentist as soon as they saw their own X-ray their first question was who did that implant (Yuri's) and compliment my front tooth( cosmetic and was Dr. Thai) My deepest appreciation to Dr. Veber & staff for an outstanding service. Keep up the good work the comfort that you have brought to my life, outstanding experience you scared me with tells me my story is not unique due to habit and professionalism of you guys many thanks read more

What a fantastic, compassionate doctor! I called him in desperation after spending the night in a hosptal emergency room. I was in terrific pain and the side of my face was swelling very quickly. The ER folks tested my blood and did a CAT scan with contrast. After 5 hours they gave me prescriptions for an antibiotic and pain meds and told me, "You should ave the tooth extracted as soon as possible." I wanted to cry. I already knew that! My regular dentist had told me about Dr. Veber so I called him AT 6AM ON A SATURDAY AND HE ANSWERED! I asked him what I should do, given the intense pain and rapidly-increasing swelling. I expected him to say I should go to an emergency dental clinic to get an extraction. Instead, he said, "Can you get to my office in 30 or 40 minutes? I'll meet you there." WOW! Within a few minutes of examining me, he could tell that, in addition to an infected tooth, I had a blocked salivary gland. Within 45 minutes he had drained the gunk from the gland and extracted the tooth. He looked at the meds the ER gave me and said to take them as prescribed and I would feel better soon, but to call him if I had new swelling. I felt like I'd landed in Mayberry . His compassion was palpable. He is a diamond in the rough! read more

Dr. Veber is the best of the best and it shows. He has a very gentle touch which made the whole process nearly painless. His work is swift yet meticulous. On top of being such a professional, he's also a very kind person, never pressures or rushes, always explains every step of the way and that alone is extremely important. The front staff is lovely too. I'm very blessed to have been recommended him by a family friend and will forever recommend him to others who need an implant as well. Thanks again, Dr. Veber! read more

Dr. Veber has changed my oral care for life! It all began in 2011..I had periodontal surgery on my upper gums and man, it sucked..it took forever to heal and I was stuck eating scrambled eggs and mashed potatoes for weeks. Lost some weight tho ;) But..still, it sucked! But, Dr. V made it clear, if I didn't start flossing daily, I'd be back in his chair for a round 2. Hell to the no... nope! The fear of being back in Veber's chair was real. Fast forward to 2018, I need braces, but before I can get them, I must get a deep cleaning. The idea of going back to Veber scared the crap outta me.. he's not scary, but man, he will open your gums up and that scares me! He sent me to his other office and I got the deep cleaning with Vasolopolous and he was fantastic. I have to come back to Veber for implants.. so scared, but I have so much confidence in his work, it'll all work out! read more

Dr. Veber is really wonderful. He is personable and a very nice fellow, but more importantly, he is very skilled, and great at his profession. I am a surgical nurse, and I know the full range of quality in those who do surgical and other invasive procedures. Dr. Veber is definitely at the very top end of the range. With him there is no wasted motion, no procedural stutters, and a firm grasp of exactly what he's doing. His touch is gentle but strong enough to get the job done right the first time. Often this amount of talent is attached to someone who has a lack of connection with people, but not in Dr. Veber's case. He checks frequently to assess how you're tolerating the procedure, explains everything that he's going to do, and makes sure that you know what to expect after the anesthetic wears off. He is a very calming presence through it all. Though I've only needed his services one time so far, for an implant, he will forever be my go-to guy in the future. I highly recommend him. read more

I'm a total scaredy-cat when it comes to dentists. And especially when I know there will be more than a teeth cleaning and some X-rays. So, my dentist sent me here, because I needed an implant. The tooth had been missing for years and it was time. So I consulted the mighty FSA card and decided I can afford it right now and made an appointment. Right from the beginning, it felt right. The lady on the phone was super nice and accommodating with the appointment and I was able to stop by for an evaluation a few days later. They have two offices, so I first went to the one in Oakland for the first visit. Again, the ladies in the front were super nice and helpful. Dr. Veber himself is very calm and friendly, explains everything he is doing, even if it is just putting your chair back and looking into your mouth. He gave me the green light and I had an appointment for the actual implant less than a week later. The "surgery" if you can even call it that took place in the Berkeley office (maybe worth mentioning: the Oakland office has a parking lot, the Berkeley office has a garage and the dentist validates your ticket). I kid you not, It took exactly 40 minutes from arrival to leaving the practice with a brand new tooth implant. No hanging around in the waiting room, no lengthy waiting for the anesthesia to work. I was nervous as hell, but I would say it was smooooth sailing. If I should ever need an implant again, I definitely know where I'll be going. The only problem I had was that I had an allergic reaction to the antibiotics they give you after the procedure. But that was of course not Dr. Veber's fault and when I called, they sent me a new prescription to my nearest pharmacy and I could pick it up soon after. read more

Dr. Veber is terrific in every way. I'm very phobic about all dentistry. He made the implant process almost like a walk in the park. In and out in 30 minutes. (Extraction not as fun)... highly recommend Dr. Veber and his staff. He is tops at giving shots: barely feel it. read more

Dr. Yuri Veber explained everything to me. He was honest about his treatment plan. He did two dental implants and they look amazing. I'm glad I came to him for my treatment. His office staff are amazing too. Kudos to Sandy, she was always pleasant to talk to. Also, Dr. Veber dental assistant made sure I was comfortable and explained the process to me. He is an excellent dental provider and I highly recommend him. read more

Yuri is a skilled surgeon and he'd take out your teeth so painlessly that you'd be surprised when the procedure is over. He doesn't do anything else but pulling teeth and making implants. He is not interested in trying to improve gum health. He is not interested in performing many other standard procedures other dentist would do. Practically, if you go to see him, he'd either pull your tooth out, or will do nothing. If you are not ready to part with your teeth, he'd have no patience for you. read more

An amazing professional. This is a essential service no one wants to engage, yet Dr. Yeber's style, professionalism, expertise sets him above the many I've had to use in my 70+ years. If you are in need of his skills, I highly recommend Dr. Yeber. read more

A year and a half later, I have another consultation with Dr. Veber for a different issue because my mouth is a hot mess. Again, he was patient, professional, and knowledgeable. He gave me three different options--from the most basic and cheap to the most expensive--and explained what each option would accomplish. I left feeling like I had enough information to make up my own mind about which option would be best based on my personal goals and budget. The staff is friendly and outgoing as well. Lovely experience all around. read more

Dr. Veber extracted my tooth today. Unfortunately, it had cracked and needed to be extracted. Awesome work, super clean, very precise and no pain. Highly recommend him. read more

Dr. Veber is hands down the best periodontist I've ever been to. I initially visited him several years ago for a second opinion. He was so relaxed and thorough. This year, I had to visit him for a procedure. Although visiting a dental specialist is far from idea, I was so happy my general dentist referred me to Dr. Veber. I anticipated that the procedure would last 1.5 hrs and that I would be in pain for days. Nope! The procedure was brief and I returned to my daily activities without needing more than ibuprofen. Dr. Veber is unpretentious and cares about his patients. I highly recommend him. read more

Thank heavens I found this doctor. After bad experiences with two very expensive places on Telegraph, I was a bit nervous facing more implants. Dr. Veber listened to my anxieties, then helped me thru the surgeries. I had only slight discomfort. He was actually cheaper, an added bonus! This time I had no infection and no disrespect from a staff when I paid with cash. As long as Dr Veber is in this area I would never go to anyone else. If you encourage him he also has a great sense of humor. For me that went a long way to make the experience pleasant. And the staff in his office is the best. Please be careful where you go for implants, my prior surgeries were a nightmare. This lovely young man will be the only one who I will allow to do mine in the future. read more

Dr. Verber and his staff are friendly and p[rofessional. The parctice is spotless. I have had 2 extractions and 2 implants. No pain at all. I highly recommend him. read more

Wow! If you're an old fart like me, and you need implants, bone grafts, or extractions, you will have a hard time finding someone more competent, friendly, sincere, and up-front than Yuri. I've worked with PhDs all my life, and most are pretty narrowly focused. Yuri really has resorted my faith in the idea that outstanding technical excellence can go hand in glove with a caring, personal touch that makes for such an outstanding doctor. Wish there were a lot more folks like him. :-) TBS read more

I had my implant performed by Dr. Verber. The procedure was quick and virtually painless. I appreciated that he would tell me what his next steps were along the way. He has a gentle touch and a calm demeanor. I am thankful that I can now eat my mochi crackers. read more

Dr. Yuri Veber did two implants for me. Professionally he is superb and efficient. He is also very personable and takes the time to explain anything you ask. read more

Dr. Veber Rocks! He expertly implanted me all to the music of the Beach Boys - Good Vibrations. He was so expert, efficient, and effective that as he was leaving the room after a few minutes, I asked if I was done and he told me that you have been done for a long time. At first, I did not know how to take it but in the end I took it in a good way. My implant is rock solid! read more

I went to Dr. Veber for a deep cleaning. I had to get images and a consult first. ok. The images were not clear, but Dr. Veber took a couple (less than five) minutes with me and told me my roots are in good shape. $275 later, I was told the costs of the deep cleaning. It would be easily twice what I have paid before. I explained I do not have insurance and the nice lady said we will call you today with a reduced non-insurance rate. I never received a call. Completely wasted time and money. I went to Dr. Lila Skelley in Alameda and I am very satisfied. read more

I had a molar removed by Dr.Veber yesterday, and there was no pain (only some soreness after), no stitches, no disgusting bloody gauze in my mouth . Staff was friendly and helpful, Dr. Veber caring, professional and very thorough. I enjoyed the experience, as much as it is possible in given circumstances (loosing your teeth is not so much fun after all). Definitely coming back for implants. read more

Most if not all of us fear going to the Dentist. Well I had the misfortune of going to a specialist, a periodontics specialist to be exact. I had a series of visits. While driving there to my appointments I had some real anxiety going on. Once in the chair I was thinking, "get on with it already" . Dr. Yuri Verber came into the room and set me at ease. His office full of modern technology and even soft music to ease the tension although I brought my own. He and his staff totally professional. I had a number of extractions that went very well with his professionalism. He took his time administering med's to numb me up for the procedure. And then gave it time to take effect. Always asking if I was comfortable and to signal him if I wasn't. He's the best in my book. read more

Urgently needed an extraction as I cracked a tooth this past weekend and am 36 weeks pregnant which is a bad combo for baby if the tooth were to become infected. Anyway, I was referred to Dr. Veber by my dentist who was able to get me a same day appointment. Dr. Veber and team were excellent. The front desk staff were very kind and thoughtful about my situation. Dr. Veber and his dental assistant clearly made a good team and were skilled in providing a painless extraction. I truly appreciated how Dr. Veber was able to be candid with me about my dental situation while also showing care and concern for the health of of the baby. He even asked if the baby was kicking during the procedure! During the procedure he frequently checked in with me to make sure I wasn't in pain. He would also let me know when to expect to feel pressure or hearing cracking. I've never had an extraction before and hope to never have another one but if I do I would definitely go back to Dr. Veber. I normally despise being in the dental chair but today was a much better more comfortable experience than I ever would have expected. Thank-you Dr. Veber and team! read more

Being in the medical profession myself, I always appreciate when another practitioner seems honest, intelligent, and motivated. In this climate, with insurances basically dictating treatment, it's always a pleasure to find someone who can be efficient as necessary but also GOOD at what they do and friendly, honest, upfront, etc. My mother needed 4 implants and after going to see 2 different periodontists for consults, Dr. Veber ended up sealing the deal. The cost of treatment was almost 25% less than at both other doctors, and I could tell that this cost savings was not due to lack of using the best materials and latest methods out there. 3 years later my mother's implants are the best "teeth" in her mouth and we have had absolutely no problems with them. read more

He is great, and very personal. He explains things, and takes the anxiety away. He gets the job done in a very smooth way. He did an extraction for me, and then an implant. I would recommend him highly to everyone who faces these kinds of procedures. read more

This is the only dental office I would be looking forward to it. I had a hard time to find the good dentist before. I was little worried when I started to go to Dr. Veber for my first implant. He is a very nice & very patient！He has done a wonderful job with my implant. I was not in pain at all. And it only took a short time to finish. Everyone else in his office are just as sweet as Dr. Veber. I can't believe I really had a good time while I was there ! read more

Great dentist, but quite expensive. He explains everything very clearly and very well.

Dr. Veber was recommended by my dentist for removal of a very difficult, infected crown. The crown had served me well for 30 years, but was now ready to go and unrepairable. I was worried about the extraction, but after talking to Dr. Veber I felt positive and ready. After numbing the area the extraction went quickly, and the tooth was intact. Then lots of careful scraping of the area to remove bacteria and debris. He put in some gauze and I waited about ten minutes. Then he removed the gauze, saying that a clot had formed well. I walked out of the office feeling so relieved. I had no pain and now, the next day, still none. Dr. Veber is a wonderful dentist and I Highly recommend him. I would give him 10 stars if I could. He is positive, caring, full of energy and expertise. And so nice. Thank you! It was also a pleasure dealing with the friendly and positive staff here, especially Amber, Dr. Veber's dental assistant. read more
