Asian Health Services - Dental 190 11th Street, Oakland, CA 94607

"Only 1 dentist for several patients. Neglecting patients' concerns and didn't offer any alternative treatments. My father have a severe tooth gum pain, went there and didn't get anything done except for 1 teeth extraction (only take 5 mins). Not even a teeth clean! The dentist was rushing through to just pull that teeth out and wanted to also pull the completely fine teeth next to the pulled teeth. He didn't talk about any other options of treatment and only encourage to take out tenths. The dentist did a bad job at explaining patient teeth circumstances. At least he did respect my father's consent of only removal of one teeth. My father wanted to save as many teeth as possible since they last longer than artificial teeth but I guess the treatment process is a lot of work so this dentist didn't bother to do it. They told us to get artificial teeth, we would have to come several times to remove the teeth, do exam, then do the artificial teeth which sounds extremely long time. It is also a long wait for "new patients". It still take nearly 1 month of wait for an "emergency referral" from AHS. Front desk staff wasn't friendly, I understand that maybe requiring every staff to smile is too much but keeping a cold face and rude tone isn't the deal. Also, the dentist speak Mandarin not Cantonese. Seriously, please avoid this place as much as possible. I feel they are more concern of money than treating their patients right. Let's remember that dentist doesn't even need to go to medical school just dentist school and their standard of qualification is way lower than a Medical Doctor."
