Big fan of Dr. Yeh! He is very friendly and very conservative in treatment - he will only do the necessary work. And if there's doubt he will give you the choice - do it, don't or wait and see. So since the practice is not filling and extracting your teeth(!) unless really needed, you will see a lot of the hygienists, who are also great. I have had my teeth cleaned by Diana and Cathy. And they have a new hygienist, Aileen. She drew the short straw(!) and did teeth cleaning for my very nervous 9 year old - and did a great job of reassuring him, as well as producing really clean teeth.

Dr. Yeh is a very talented and highly skilled dentist. He is also very kind and gentle and takes the time to explain everything to his patients before proceeding with the treatment.
I've had fillings and crowns done by Dr Yeh and he always explains what he's about to do step by step during the entire process. This alleviates any anxiety on the patient's part.
My husband and 3 kids all go to Dr Yeh and they all love him too!!
The dental hygienists and all the staff members are all very friendly and helpful. We're very lucky to have found this team!

Love Dr. Yeh and his team -- everyone is so friendly and they do a great job, especially Diana, who is always so bubbly and fun to chat with when I see her for a cleaning! As soon as this coronavirus shelter-in-place situation is over, I'm going to make sure my next appointment is on their books.

It's hard to be a small business owner right now; Dr. Yeh, please let your customers know what we can do to support you and your staff during this time.

Dr. Yeh is a great dentist. I cracked a molar recently (during the corona virus epidemic) and he came in to repair my tooth even though his office was shut down. He handled all the prep work himself (no assistant) and repaired my large filling,with expert care, in no time. Very professional and caring, with a good chair-side manner.

I have been a patient at this office for many, many years and Dr Yeh is definitely a top dentist in the bay area. Recently Dr Yeh fit me in right away, same day when I had an accident and needed evaluation/stabilization of a bunch of fractured teeth. I appreciated him discussing options with me for how he could repair the teeth and not just recommending expensive crowns in all cases. The restorations and crowns he did are excellent. I especially like his competent office staff who even called me if he was running late so I did not have to sit in the waiting room for a long period of time.

Simply the best. He took over for Dr Boriskin and I couldn't be happier with his care.

I called up last Friday and spoke to Rose to set up a new patient appointment for cleaning and full X-rays consult etc. Rose asked for my insurance. I have two, I gave her the info for both. She told me that she could not set up the appointment because she was too busy and that she would have to call me on Monday.
Rose called me on Tuesday apologizing that she did not call on Monday. She made a mistake with one of my insurances. Again, I asked to make an appointment but she told me that she still could not set up an appointment until she had both insurances figured out. She had made the mistake

I like Dr. Yeh but there's a hygenist here who likes to play doctor all the time and make all sorts of medical conjectures. Quite bad- you are not a doctor, so don't try to play one. You are not even an RN, you're a dental hygenist, so leave the medical advice to the dentist, who is a doctor, and keep your mouth shut otherwise with pseudo medical advice/conjectures.

I started going to this dental practice 8-9 years ago when it was still owned by Dr. Boriskin. I had an unfortunate fear of the dentist as a child (not so good for my teeth), and I still recall being terrified and embarrassed about going in for my first appointment (I had relocated to Berkeley for school, and didn't go for the first 2-3 years that I was up here - yes, I know, horrible). Anyway, all of the people here were great then and they continue to be awesome as the only change that happened with Dr. Boriskin's retirement was Dr. Yeh coming in (and updating some of the technology

We switched to Dr. Yeh's practice recently---my husband, myself and our son, age 22---and it is a world of difference from our previous dentist who we liked. Dr. Yeh's practice is superb but doesn't feel corporate. My hygienist---Diane---is actually a dentist herself! While our previous dentist suggested all kinds of work that we should do such as crowns and re-doing old fillings, it appears that they engaged in aggressive selling tactics. I totally trusted her and had no idea; just found her conservative and watchful. Dr. Yeh is NOT for doing procedures unless they are clearly

I was concerned when the previous dentist at the office - Dr Boriskin - retired. However, I have been delighted with Dr. Yeh and his staff. Conservative in treatment, high quality equipment, informative, and a nice space, and a nice vibe.. Yes parking can be challenge, but if you are willing to walk a block, it is not an issue. Definitely strongly recommended

Today was my first visit to Dr. Yeh. I've had good and bad dentists over the years, so when it was time to find a new dentist I was apprehensive.

Dr. Yeh is great - I have found my new dentist. He pays attention to detail and explains everything very well.

Diana was my hygienist and she did a great job - way less discomfort than I'm used to...It was almost enjoyable, even.

Both them and the office staff are extremely nice and you can tell it is a happy workplace.

I'll be back in six months for a cleaning and many more after that.

I have moved around a lot and been to a lot of dentists. Of course, I can't rate a dentist's technical skills, but this office has great service, Dr. Yeh seems very knowledgeable and let's me know what's going on. He seems to do careful and thorough work, and referred me to an expert for specialty work, which I really liked. I've been very happy with this dental office - they have all the latest technology and friendly staff. The dental hygienist also taught me a lot, while making a compelling case for flossing twice a day, which I'm considering taking her up on.

Dr. Yeh has a gift, extremely gentle, ethical, kind and technically excellent. I have had very good dentists but I would rate Dr. Yeh as the best yet. I had originally been a patient of Dr. Boriskin and when he retired I was nervous about seeing Dr. Yeh because of the unknown, but he removed and replaced a large filling, it was quick and pain free and by the next day and since then I have felt nothing. I fully trust Dr. Yeh and feel he has his patient's best interest at heart, I wish more people in the medical profession were like him.
Also, love Diane the dental hygentist, always a pleasure

Dr. Yeh is the best!!! He meticulously worked on my crown, checking in with my comfort level the entire time. He also explains everything he is doing and ALL of your options extremely thoroughly. He also has awesome schmancy latest gear including a crazy dental camera that showed me my cracked tooth up close and personal.
He even called me at home after when I had some pain after the first appointment. Then, he called me AGAIN before the permanent crown was to be put in to make sure that we weren't capping off a nerve issue. Who does that?
Dr. Yeh's office is also fantastic -- the front desk

Dr. Yeh and his staff are excellent!

Dr. Yeh is straight forward, explains everything he is doing, he is extremely knowledgable and an all around kind individual.

I tend to get quite nervous at dental appointments but I've been out at ease by my hygienist Diana.

Great place!!

Broke a tooth on Friday and found it annoying without much discomfort. Called on Saturday for an appointment, came in on Wednesday at 10:01 as a new client.

I had a single sheet of paperwork filled out in under 2 minutes, and was immediately sat in the dentist chair to have an X-ray. They had my tooth cleaned, repaired, polished and shaped in 30 minutes. I was explained what was going on every step of the way and made sure I was comfortable.

A full set of Xrays were then finished in the next 15 minutes, for my future cleaning that will take place next week.

Great work, a gentle touch, and

I found Dr. Yeh by accident, by trying to locate someone in his practice who had just retired. I decided to take a chance on the new guy.

After an initial consult, a cleaning, a filling, AND an unanticipated medical referral by Dr Yeh, I can heartily recommend him as professional, highly competent, very personable, respectful, and sensitive.

He showed his sensitive and professional approach in gently bringing to my attention a condition which needed to be seen by an MD. He accomplished this without alarming me, and very gently.

Need a dentist? You could do no better.

I just went in for my six months hygiene visit. Before my cleaning I met with Dr. Yeh for the exam. He was excellent! All of my questions were answered which were backed up with great education for me to know the how's and why's. He has a lot of dental knowledge, patience, and joy to bring to the practice. I have popping in my jaw so it was nice to learn what was going on. He did a little jaw test to see where I bite and to make sure its all okay. After the exam Cathy cleaned my teeth. Which was wonderful as always. She is also very knowledgeable and thorough.
the staff there is very
