Dare I say I look forward to, maybe even enjoy going for my routine cleanings. Dr Citron is so attentive and knowledgeable and I love that he does the cleaning, super thorough and gentle but effective. I had veneers done somewhere else and he helped tailor my oral needs around it and recommended the best toothpaste for sensitive teeth - two years later my teeth have remineralized and all sensitivity gone, couldn't be happier.

This is my first Yelp review. Excellent dentist in every way. Skills, manner, fairness, cost. Also, his front desk person, Sonja, is the best. She went out of her way to help me with an issue. Five stars all the way.

Let me begin my review by stating that I am NOT a patient of Dr. Citron. I found Dr. Citron here on Yelp when an unexpected accident occurred, resulting in a tooth cracking and the filling it housed became loose and eventually came out. Of course, this happened last June during the pandemic (thanks 2020!). To make matters worse, my dentist was in New York City, and due to NYC being a global hotspot in the early phase of CoV2 showing up in the US, NYC businesses had been closed for months, which resulted in my dentist retiring his practice June 30th. I was not about to risk my health by hopping

My wife and I went for the first time since COVID started to have our teeth cleaned. Excellent experience - great job with precautions, excellent staff and top quality care. Will be back every 6 months from here on out - no reason to put it off as far as I'm concerned.

Very good thorough dentist. I had to go to him because of a cracked tooth emergency during the pandemic. I felt he did a great job and pays attention to detail. I had to have a crown, first one and was a little hesitant but very happy with the results. Also had a cleaning - one of the best I ever had. I am not one to give high marks easily but felt he really goes the extra mile.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience. This was a first time visit with a broken crown. They fit me in to their busy schedule. The staff members were great and Dr. Citron was very kind and thorough with his explanations. I will definitely come back and recommend this practice to anyone who is looking for a dentist.

Made an appointment weeks ago and when I came in, the front desk was watching a movie in the dark and barely acknowledged that I existed, handed me a form, and then after filling it out was told that the dentist doesn't accept my insurance. Wasn't informed on the phone when I made the appointment. A waste of time and a total disappointment.

Updating my review. It turns out that I've now been going to Dr. Citron for 15 years, and I'm as delighted with him and his dental practice now as ever.

I'm updating my review because they've recently moved offices and I just had my first visit at the new office. It's modern and well-equipped. The exam rooms in the old office were small; the ones in the new office are fully ADA accessible, to the extent that a dentist in a wheelchair could serve a patient in a wheelchair (I'm not in a wheelchair, but I was impressed at the space, and Dr. Citron told me that that&apos

I made an appointment for December 28th like 2 weeks ago, and I scheduled everything for that date so that I don't have to go to work (I have a long commute to work from Berkeley everyday) on that date and take care of a lot of things - like taking my wife to a driving test at Oakland DMV etc. I received a call from the office telling me that the doctor will not work on that date and just canceled me and my wife's appointment. This has ruined my plan, and I am very disappointed. If you set up an appointment please keep them or do not make it in the first place.

I used to hate going to the dentist because all of the ones I went to made me anxious, were expensive, and always tried to sell me things I didn't need like teeth whiteners, invisaline or filling replacements. Then I finally went to see Dr. Citron. He's amazing! So down to earth, gentle, friendly and reassuring. He's also efficient, so you'll be in and out in no time. I'm so glad I switched to his practice a couple years ago and now I take my kids there as well. His office is right near Alta Bates Hospital. He recently moved to a bigger space and invested in state of the

Been going here for almost 18 years, he's a great dentist! However won't be able to see him anymore because I now have no insurance so sucks for me I guess
But my family goes to him and has been for a very long time so if your considering him as your dentist great selection!

Dr Citron was very transparent with costs and prices, which goes a long way. His office was friendly and accommodating. I have had no issues with the work I got done here 2 months ago. I was a first time patient and they fit me into their schedule quickly.

No-nonsense, professional, quick yet thorough. Cleaning and checkup in and out 20 minutes, no waiting around or unnecessary up-sells. Highly recommended, unless you fill his calendar too much and I can't get in!

I've had a very positive experience with this practice, friendly front office and Dr. Citron's
professional and engaged approach to my dental needs. My dental problems extended beyond his scope (need oral surgeon) but he was honest, ethical and will return for my regular dental needs, will give his name (gladly!) if someone asks me if I know of a great dentist!

Excellent dentist who takes time with every patient. It's a small shop that takes very few people at a time and you really feel like you're getting custom care.

I've had the pleasure of being Dr. Citron's patient for a very long time. I've always been so pleased with everyone's professionalism, kindness and thoroughness. I feel very lucky to have them as my dental team and hope to carry on the tradition for my son. Dr. Citron, Chloe and Sonja are the BEST.
