Welcome to Saddler Family Dentistry
Family History.
The office staff is incredible! Appointments are easy. The wait times are minimal. You’re made to feel welcomed. If you have had bad experiences in the past they will restore your confidence
This is a great business and I am happy with the services I have received. Dr. Saddler saved me from weeks of additional pain when my former dentist wanted to 'wait and see' if my issues subsided when I actually needed a root canal. I feel like I have found a permanent dentist after going through 5 in about 10 years.
This is Best dentist I’ve been to!
Painless and professional!
As always, the staff at Dr. Saddler's were extremely helpful, professional and courteous. These are a few of the many reasons my family have been patients there for over 20 years.
Great service and great people for the last 20 years I’ve experienced. Family oriented setting with experienced staff. Thanks for everything
Very Friendly, Very Professional. Got to meet Dr. Saddler after my checkup and he’s got a big personality and a great staff. Nice looking office and they all listen. Highly recommend!
Most people FEAR the dentist. I'm 1 of those people. I heard a lot about Dr. Saddler how wonderful he is .He KNOWS his profession. Well I wanted 2 see for myself. I have 2 say YESSS. My 1st visit I felt at home. His office is like I was in my own living room. I was greeted formerly by name as if They had known me 4 years. Now here comes the FEAR part the room well Dr Saddler was warm gentle talked me through the whole exam. I didn't even realize I had got numbed & was ready 2 go home. I was also impressed by his knowledge . THANK YOU DR SADDLER & STAFF 4 the warm hospitality & care that you ALL gave me. I NOW HAVE A DENTIST HOME & NO MORE FEAR. 10 STARS are deserved
Jaida says it was the best dental experience in her 20years of life. Dr Sandler was extremely patient and gentle. The staff is also very friendly.
Very professional, polite staff, good experience.
The best!!!
It is a genuine joy to visit Dr. Saddler - something I never imagined myself saying about visiting the dentist. His team and him are personable, efficient, welcoming, and helpful. I have felt taken care of and comfortable each time I have visited.
Dr. Saddler’s practice is probably the most professional dental operation that I have ever experienced. Had a dental emergency over the weekend, Dr. Saddler was out of town for a conference and returned my call immediately. Checked in on me several times via phone and promptly scheduled an appointment for me immediately upon his return. I found his staff most proficient and professional. Online registration made for very punctual and efficient service. BTW, this was my first visit. Outstanding! The Saddler practice is one that I highly recommend for dental needs. Porter B.
Friendly, clear and gets the job done. Always my go to source for a tremendous smile 😃
Im so happy to find a black dentist in Oakland/Berkeley area! Dr. Saddler is so funny and down to earth making the time at the dentist so easy and fast. He also is very knowledgeable and has been in this profession for decades! I've been coming here forever and really appreciate the service I get each time. His staff are also very easy to work with. I was able to get an emergency appointment within 2 days which I really appreciate as I was experiencing some crazy pain! I had a problem on a back tooth and he was able to get it healed within days. I was so scared I was gonna have to get it pulled. He's truly a life saver. Thanks for everything yall!
By far the best debris experience I’ve had to date. Went here to have a cavity filled and will continue to return for other services.
Been an patient at this establishment for over 20yrs... Great service good people awesome customer service.. Thanks for keeping my smile beautiful 😁
Best experience I had a horrible experience when I was eight years old with a dentist today my amazing girlfriend took me here she recommended me and it was the best dentist experience I ever had I would definitely be coming back and this will be my primary dentist hands-down the best in the bay
Dr Saddler and his staff are wonderful! Always so kind and thoughtful. I never thought I would like going to the dentist but they have proved me wrong. We have been patients for years and devoted to this practice.
I really appreciate this team! My entire family goes! Dr. Saddler will keep trying to find the best way to support your oral care! Check him out!

One of the most professional, friendly and knowledgeable dental staff in the East Bay, but I know everyone says this in the reviews and it's pretty true. However if I had to pick one thing on my new patient visit that just told me this is my dentist office for lyfe, it was the Doctors, both Dr. Loden(sp?) and Dr. Saddler. Dr. Saddler coming in to introduce himself to new patients. Dr. Loden is super gentle and kind even during the most stressful parts, and Dr. Saddler will let you know how happy he is and how much he loves his staff and being a Dentist. Mercedes is super efficient and smart taking photos of your teeth and working with crazy software and machines. Dare I say it? I had a good time at the dentist! Thx everyone
This is a great spot! It was recommended to me when my long term dentist retired. They've been busy during the pandemic, but have always made time for me. The staff is friendly! It seem to all POC staff which is awesome. Dr Saddler always explains things, gives me choices when possible, very gentle, and has a warm personality. Thanks for taking care of my train wreck mouth!

Great customer service and attention to detail highly recommend this dentist o"to friends and family very clean and professional.
It was a nice experience, in a timely manner
Great family dentists! I’m glad I found them.
My crown popped off this morning and Dr Saddler made time for me to take care of it and show me how not to loosen again💯💯💯💯💯
This place really feels like home. Everyone is so friendly and inviting AND very professional. State of the art equipment and attention to detail. Best orthodontics experience I've had this far!
The staff is friendly. The office is very comfortable with modern equipment. Dr. Saddler is a true professional. The staff member that works the front desk is eye candy too.

Excellent service and the team is amazing
Great service and family vibe. Thanks again.👍🏾
Dr. Saddler is an excellent Dentist, and has an excellent Bedside(Chair) manner.
Dr. Saddler and his staff are always pleasant, kind and attentive. I and my family live a hour away and pass up alot of dentist just to get to him. I got dental implants and I was awake which is not usual for me especially for a long service like that Except for the first few days of pain I was fine. I returned to work in 3 days with minimal swelling To sum it up I WOULD NEVER EVER GO TO ANY1 BUT HIM. I'm terrified of the dentist, but going to him all these years Im not terrified of him, thats why I drive a hour or so to go to him. Luv ya Doc

Friendly, competent, efficient dental services. My previous dentist didn't have a website, so getting the email and text reminders for appointments is so great!
I love Dr Saddler & the staff they are very professional & will continue to support this dentistry I’ve been with Dr Saddler for over 20 years
Great family dentist!

I do not usually take the time to leave reviews, but Dr. Saddler and his staff have provided such exemplary service I felt compelled. Dr Saddler posseses a rare combination of deep experience, technical prowess, ability to integrate new technology/dental innovation, genuine empathy for patients, and an excellent chairside manner: a true master of his craft. I highly recommend him and his staff.
This place is truly top-notch. I decided to switch dental offices as I didn't feel like I was getting great value or service from my previous dentist. That turned out to be a great decision. Dr. Saddler and his entire team treat you like family and have you looking forward to your next appointment. The folks here are friendly, they listen, and they seem to genuinely care about you. If you're unhappy with your current dentist, then time to make the switch!

It is truly such a pleasure to write a review for Dr. Saddler's dental practice. I hadn't been to the dentist in 3 years due to a lifetime of dental phobia. I read the reviews before I booked an appointment and was impressed to see so many rave reviews from people like me: hated going to the dentist but needed to, and left Dr. Saddler's office with nothing but positive things to say. I also noticed that there was not a single review less than 5 stars in the last year, which was a great sign. The morning of the appointment I was nervous, shaky, and honestly ready to take the cancellation fee because I was that nervous about what my dental experience had in store. When I arrived, I communicated to the receptionist my anxiety and from that point forward, every single person I came into contact with during my appointment (from the receptionist to the hygienist to the dentist) went out of their way to speak to me about my anxiety, comfort me, thoroughly explain each procedure, and checked in with me along the way to make sure I was as comfortable as possible. I was seen by Dr. Washington who answered every single question I had, explained every x-ray and photograph, and performed a dental examination that was thorough and comfortable. I could tell he was listening and really paying attention to the things I told him about my anxieties with dental work and it showed during the examination and cleaning. He was assisted by Mersedes and Maria who were so lovely to be around and they instantly made me feel at ease. I could not believe how incredible it was to receive such great service from professionals who are not only dedicated to their work, but dedicated to alleviating the stigma of the dental experience through their own professionalism and empathetic demeanor. I've never left a dentist appointment feeling so great and so confident, and I joked with Dr. Washington that he's now stuck with me for life because I will never want to see another dentist. If you are looking for an amazing dentist, whether you have dental phobia or not, I could not recommend Dr. Saddler's office enough. You are in truly great hands here and will receive service that goes above and beyond.
Staff was friendly. Dentist were professional, and polite. The office was clean had modern equipment. Nice place with exceptional people.
Dr. Saddler, is the best Dentist I have ever been to. Sincerely, Larry Rucker 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
This was my second cleaning at Dr. Saddler's office. The staff was friendly, the cleaning was efficient, and I definitely recommend Dr. Saddler to anyone searching for a new dentist.
Best teeth cleaning. I love it.
Dr. Saddler's office is always a professional and inviting environment. My wife and I have been customers here for at least 7 years now and highly recommend this great black owned business that actually employs other black and brown professionals in the field!
As always, Dr Saddler was warm and helpful and jovial and gentle. His staff is friendly and helpful. They found a relatively last minute appt for me when i chipped my tooth. I consider myself so lucky to have found this practice!
I HAE THE DENTIST AND HAVE NEGLECTED MY MOUTH ALL MY LIFE, but for the first time in my life I was comfortable with a dental appointment. I look forward to my new smile and Thank the Saddler family dental folk for that. God Bless and thank you.
A1 as usual. Every year he has some upgrades to the office. My dentist for almost 20 years
Educational, courteous and professional
Very Good , Very Good, Excellent ! The staff at the front desk it’s very friendly / helpful I don’t know all the ladies names except for Qiana but they all are very friendly / helpful, I don’t know any words that can describe the Doctor except for painless, patient , good at what he’s doing, I am so impressed by this Doctor after every visit he’s taking care of everything that I’ve neglected over the years so that I can eat better and look better words can’t describe how much I appreciate him and his staff......
5 stars. His team is wonderful and so is he, you feel at ease knowing that they truly care that you are comfortable. Best dentist ever.
My first visit to Dr. Saddler's office was great! The waiting area is nice (love the fish tank!) and the staff all very friendly. They are very thorough with x-rays and imaging of their patient's teeth, and everything was pretty well explained regarding my treatment. The place felt satisfactorily hygienic and the work done to my teeth seems good! I'm already looking forward to my next visit.
I always love seeing Dr. Saddler! It’s obvious he has a passion for the work and is excellent at his job. The service and accommodations are great.
Well I had nearly 20 fillings put in by Dr. Saddler and here we are 3 years later and they're all holding strong. Plus the doc is super friendly and gentle and he has a good sense of humor. Hygienists and admins are also nice. I've got no complaints.
Efficient, safe, and friendly! I know I will get good care here.
This dentist office has taken really good care of me! Having plans to move out of state, I think I'll have a hard time finding an office full of so many kind and skilled professionals.
Best dentist!
Always awesome service!
Love love love!!!!! Everyone in this office is so nice , Dr. Saddler is so funny and he does an amazing job with fixing your grill( teeth) . I had work done previously at gentle dental and it wasn’t a good experience, so I googled Black dentist near me and that’s how I found this place and I’m so happy I did ! 10 out of10 highly recommend
Very nice practice in a warm friendly environment, as opposed to large corporate building. Staff is very friendly. Natalie (dental hygeinist) has a nice touch!
The only dentist I've ever liked, and looked forward to going to. Qualified and friendly staff. I have come here for years and recommend Dr. Saddler to all my family and friends.
I had an amazing experience at Dr.Saddler's office on 11/3/20. The entire staff was professional, attentive, and kind. I specifically went to Dr. Saddler because of his reputation and experience. I would not recommend any other dentist in the Bay area but Dr. Saddler if you're looking for an affordable and welcoming treatment. I have a following appointment this month and i'm looking forward to it.
What a wonderful experience! I was way behind on my dental appointments because I got a new job, moved across the country, and sheltered-in-place (like everyone). The pleasant staff scheduled me and provided reminder text messages. What a helpful, friendly, and patient group of people (I ask a lot of questions). Dr. Saddler is a second-generation dentist who is so knowledgeable, warm, caring, and humorous. Everyone in this office is incredibly skilled at their jobs. I highly recommend these amazing professionals for your teeth.
This practice is extremely efficient and utilizes great cutting edge technology (imaging, X-rays, etc) to accomplish the task. Add in the kind, thoughtful staff and DDS, and this is truly an amazing patient experience.
Everyone at Dr. Saddler's office is really friendly and extremely professional, service is always great. Best dentist I've ever had.
Dr. Saddler's team has been great for the past two years. They've taken care of my routine cleanings and facilitated a referral to an oral surgeon for impacted wisdom teeth. I highly recommend.
The doctor and staff were prompt, caring, and professional. I felt safe and comfortable despite COVID. I highly recommend their service.
Everyone at the office was so unbelievably kind, efficient, and accommodating. I didn’t experience any pain or shame as they laid out a straightforward plan for what needs to happen to my teeth. Dr Saddler was a joy to be with and explained everything I had going on so that I could understand how important each procedure was and in what order they should be prioritized. I had been thinking I waited too long and wouldn’t be able to use my insurance for anything before an unexpected move. However, they fit me in and got the cleaning done thoroughly and in no time at all! Thank you everyone at the office and I hope to stay in touch . Thanks again for chatting with me about family and Asheville and everything else. This was possibly the friendliest dentist I’ve ever seen. 😊
Great people that do great things! Have always felt like family.
Found out about this place about a year ago, my boyfriend wanted to find a place in the bay area where he can support the black community and to specifically find a black dentist. That's how we came about this place. This year I joined in because I had my dental insurance carrier changed and they happen to take it. Anyways, ever walked into a dentistry and felt at ease, warm & cozy? The first time we walked in this place I noticed the warm ambiance and coziness of the waiting area, felt like getting inviting into someone's family living room. If you're someone who gets anxiety with seeing dentists, the ambiance in there help calm the nerves. The staff was friendly and very attentive to our needs especially during our first time there. I had gotten my deep cleaning recently and I was very happy with the result, the cleaning went smoothly, the hygienist went over everything that she was going to do, even to pointing out the type of anesthesia she'll be using, so I like that they ensure you're taken care of. They also go over into details their recommended treatment plan and really break it down for you even to the price of what you may have to pay out of pocket so it doesn't come as a surprise, so that's really nice that they keep it very transparent. So I highly recommend this place.
I cannot thank Dr. Saddler and his staff enough! They are warm, caring, and provide amazing care. Patient-centered services and they clearly explain every step of the process. I highly recommend them!
Dr. Saddler and his crew are a fantastic people, I feel safe and confident in his knowledge and expertise. Really appreciate his skill and his general vibe.
The entire staff was very friendly. Dentist Saddler was awesome. I felt comfortable with him. Daisy
The staff and Dr. Saddler are always very friendly, helpful, and clear in their communication. I always feel very welcomed and, even if I don't floss enough, never put down. Their Covid-19 protocols also make me feel safe. Thank you!
Dr. Saddler is the best. Always looks out for me. He is outstanding at his profession. Number 1 dentist in my book.
No joke, gentle with the shots! Seriously skilful!
Dr. Saddler's office was an enjoyable experience from start to finish. Very friendly atmosphere and great service!
Great experience. The doctor and nurse are really friendly and they made me feel really comfortable. I had a needle phobia. They made sure I am fine. Highly recommended.
Always makes you feel very welcome. They go out of their way to make sure you are informed about your treatments. Dr. Sadler is one of the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. He is so very informative of all your options. He has great patience to explain everything step by step to you.. I will be forever grateful to dr. Sadler and all his staff. Thank you so much.
Lets be real, who likes going to the dentist? no one. So, the only way to give a dentist office a good review is to talk about the staff. From the receptionist on up, the staff is friendly and Dr. Saddler is funny, smart and very capable. I have had multiple visits over the last couple of years, my wife as well, and we have never had a bad experience. Within minutes of your appointment, you are in a chair, no long waits. My last visit was for a root canal that has turned out to be extra difficult and required multiple visits, they were so kind and sympathetic to my pain and frustration (read fear) and I always felt a genuine concern for my comfort and care. We have our family dentist now. Thank you Doc Saddler and staff, you guys and ladies are great!
Outstanding dental office. Very clean & pleasant waiting area. Very efficient staff. I was in and out within a reasonable amount of time. I would recommend Dr. Saddler to friends. CMB
I've been seeing Dr. Saddler for about three or four years now. When I came in, I'd been neglecting some cavities, and so had to have a couple fillings re-done. He doesn't rush the anesthetic process and is generous with the numbing--which I personally appreciate! When one of my crowns (from a previous dentist) fell off, he squeezed me into his schedule to glue it back on the next day. His office staff & assistants are very courteous. My hygienist taught me how to floss more safely around my crown and brush better. Dr. Saddler is very affable, and always takes a moment to connect and tell a joke when he meets with me. The dental hygienist takes pictures of your teeth and Dr Saddler reviews with you so you understand exactly what he's seeing and his perspective. He doesn't recommend unnecessary work. Since going here, I've gone to every 6-month cleaning & checkup appointment without fail and haven't had any new cavities. Highly recommend!
I have been a patient of Dr. Saddler for years with a number of procedures and my only regret is I hadn’t come to him decades before. Dr. Saddler is the most skilled, gentle and kind Dentist I’ve ever encountered in my 60+ years. His great sense of humor and Spirit make each office visit a really positive experience and his staff are all just as friendly, professional, kind and caring. I know I am in good hands when I walk into Dr. Saddler’s office, and his legacy continues from that of his father, also a highly regarded Berkeley dentist. My teeth look fantastic, have received many comments what good teeth I have-that is Dr. Saddler’s talented results. Thank You Dr. Saddler, you’re the Best!!
Ive been coming to Dr Saddler for several years! Very efficient and high tech! Quick and painless cleaning!
Dr. Sadler is the best dentist I have had the pleasure of seeing… maybe, ever? He’s clearly very competent and knowledgeable, but also very warm, personable, and a great communicator. He took the time to really talk with me about what he found and why he was recommending what he was recommending. He also has state of the art technology in his office, like the 3D imaging machine he used to make my bite guard. Much faster and more accurate. I’ve only gone once, but I’m already floored.
I'm always nervous finding and a new dentist as I've had lots of work done. Dr. Saddler had great Yelp reviews and was honest and professional. Their standup X-ray machine was the latest. He didn't try to upsell me on anything and was honest about work. Such a relief and happy to recommend to others.
Dr. Saddler came to my rescue on New Years Eve when he fixed my broken crown right on the spot, in and out in 90min with a new post and crown built right in the office. The staff was very friendly and helpful and I will definitely be making him my new permanent dentist!
The nicest staff I've ever encountered at a dentist office! Also beautifully designed and decorated. Feels like a home.
I've been going to Dr. Saddler for years. He and his staff are helpful, friendly and efficient.
Dr. Saddler is an amazing dentist! Skillful, explained everything clearly, and the entire staff is friendly and fun. Highly recommend.
Everyone was friendly, fast, informative, and efficient. I had a very good experience.
I’ve been coming here for the last three years and getting my teeth cleaned by Natalie. I’m very happy to have found her. She’s very efficient, and my cleanings don’t hurt like some hygienists I’ve had in the past. She’s also warm and kind and she chats with you if you want to, but she’s sensitive if you’re not feeling talkative, unlike some service providers who can be TOO friendly or talkative. (You know what I’m talking about!) Dr. Saddler is friendly. I don’t have many issues with my teeth so I don’t interact with him a lot, but he always checks in on me promptly after my cleaning, and I appreciate that he doesn’t make me wait forever like some doctors do. People at the front desk are always super friendly and warm and my wait time is never more than a few minutes. I also usually find nearby free parking easily. Lastly, they give text reminders and calls which is super helpful. There’s no reason not to come here. I highly recommend Dr. Saddler’s office.
Dr. Saddler has been my dentist for 25 years and the best on the planet Earth. Love his gift to many of the smiles he has provided.
The whole office was very friendly and made the process really easy. There was almost no waiting before my appointment. I also liked that they took pictures of my teeth so that they could visually show me areas of concern. I will definitely be coming back!
Dr. Saddler and his staff listen to patients and provide exceptional dental care. I highly recommend this dentist!
Awesome practice, Dr. Saddler is fantastic! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable! I’d recommend this practice to anyone who’s interested in professional, high quality dental care!
I had a great first visit. Everyone I met was great. Dr Saddler himself was a charismatic lovely human. Next visit Dr Saddler suggested I bring my 1.5 year old so that he can observe and get ready for his 2 year old visit. Definitely a family practice.
First visit for my 10 and 14 year olds was yesterday. All the staff were kind and the process was quick and explained well!
Dr Saddler and the staff are exemplary to other dentist offices. They are professional, kind, and really good at what they do. I have been going to Dr's office for about 3 years. I recommended friends. They are also very happy with the service. So big thanks to everyone in this office.
The Staff Was very Courteous & Friendly, The Atmosphere was Very pleasant .I give Them 10 out of 10 for Great Service.
Been coming here for years. Organized, prompt and experienced. Dr Saddler is the best dentist around!
I look forward to my visits. We already know the work performed here is top-notch. Dr. Saddler and his staff, from greeting to goodbye, make the experience convenient and memorable. I especially appreciate the scheduling accommodation for me.
Professional staff. Everything was explained to me along the way. I did not have a long wait (long waits seem to be the rule in many dental offices). Explained my insurance coverage, provided options, follow-up post visits. Great experience.
I've been going here for 4 years. They are fantastically friendly, accommodating and always concerned for your health and well being. Much appreciated. I have had 7 dentists throughout my life and the care and staff here are the best of all of them.
Dr Saddler has done it again!! I had 2 teeth extracted today and because of his skill, great humor and kind spirit I barely felt anything-just like my previous experience! The replacement teeth are beautiful and I have no pain 8 hours later. Every staff member there is welcoming, professional and super-friendly, so good seeing an AWESOME Dentist surrounded by an excellent team that shares Dr. Saddler's high standard of superior care. Thank You so much Dr. Saddler, Big Hugs to you-You Rock!! (so does your staff!)
I hadn’t been to a dentist in over 30 years and I wasn’t looking forward to it!! But Dr. Saddler’s (#1) personality and (#2) professionalism quickly put me at ease. He and his staff addressed my concerns (unnecessary work) and fears (PAIN!) with sincere interest and care. The gentleness was a surprise over my memories of dentistry when I was young. Without having to ‘knock me out,’ he was able to replace several fillings, install a cap, and make a cosmetic correction to a front tooth without me having a nervous breakdown. I’ve been going back regularly ever since (2yrs). Good people=Good dentistry.
Dear Dr. Saddler, in fact I was so satisfied with your assessment and opinion about my teeth that I told my daughter about you. Now my daughter would like to schedule an appointment with you as well. Please schedule her for an afternoon. She is a Senior in High School. Thank you, Warmly, Martina Konietzny
Dr. Saddler has been my dentist for years and I can say without a doubt that he and his team are second to none. Natalie has the lightest touch of any hygienist I've ever had, and she always checks in with you to make sure you're comfortable and not feeling any discomfort. I've never felt pressured to add any additional services that I felt were unnecessary just for the sake of bringing in extra revenue. All in all they take great care of you are very flexible if you need to reschedule and best of all they get you in and out fast! If you need a dentist you'd be hard pressed to find a better one!
(Translated by Google) Gentle hand of the doctor. I did not feel the Needle of the enesthesia. Very good . environment of. staff (Original) Suave mano del doctor. no sentí la Aguja dé la enestecia. Muy buen . ambiente del. personal
Glad I found this practice! I intend on returning.
Best teeth cleaning!
Very positive experience. Dr.Saddler was excellent and his staff was very professional.
Outstanding Service !! Dr. Saddler is personable and good at his craft. Staff is friendly and have always gone out of their way to accommodate our needs, including getting us squeezed into the schedule right away when we have had emergencies !! They have state of the art equipment and are super efficient. I highly recommend them !!
Pleasant office staff, great equipment, and most of all a great dentist! Dr.Saddler is the best! I highly recommend!
I have been a patient of Doctor Saddler for many years. Very professional and comfortable environment. All the office staff are really nice.
I loved the fact the office was clean , the front desk was extremely polite . The dental assistant had was polite and helpful ! Me.Saddler is great I’m usually nervous getting shots in my mouth but he made me feel comfortable, he was funny too ! The tooth extraction was painless and after I was finished he said “ I THINK I GOT THE RIGHT ONE “ that made me laugh ! Great! Great! Great! I told my friends dad about to told him it was must because i will be coming back for sure !
Got me looking Kodak ready!
Awesome Dr. for over 25 years of SERVICE!!!
Always the most pleasant experience and I appreciate the professionalism of all of the staff and the personal attention care and attention they give.
My first experience at the Saddler Family Dental offices was tremendous. The entire team is super friendly and very well prepared after our initial phone call to set the appointment. My cleaning was done proficiently and in a timely manner. I also got a mold done for a night guard due to a teeth grinding issue I've got. The tech that did the mold was super professional and friendly, even when administering a relatively uncomfortable process. Dr. Saddler came by and introduced himself before his portion of the exam. He's extremely warm and friendly and I found him to be a funny / personable guy. I'm really looking forward to continuing my relationship with his team and its great to have a dentist conveniently located.
First: I hate going to the dentist. I hate lying on my back with my mouth open and I hate hands in my mouth. Okay, that's unavoidable. But I also hate being shamed about cavities, being patronized about flossing, and endless scheduling and billing loops. In all my years with this office, *none* of that has ever happened. Dr. Saddler and all his assistants are unfailingly warm and kind, never shame or patronize, and are committed to helping me keep my teeth instead of upselling the latest and greatest technology--even when that means referring me out. Having moved away from the area and experienced "normal" dentists again, I've decided to drive 200+ miles back to Dr. Saddler's office whenver I need a cleaning or something more serious. I can't say I now look forward to going to the dentist, but I always look forward to seeing Dr. Saddler and his staff (and ending the pain).
Dr. Saddler is not as good as your regular dentist, he's BETTER!
Really friendly and very competent staff. Go Dubs!
Dr. Saddler has been my treating Dentist for over 12 years. I love his office. The staff, Hygienist, and Dental assistants are great. Doc takes the time to explain what he's doing and why. This office works great for me and I have referred Family and friends. I highly recommend this Dentist.
The staff at Dr. Saddler's office is always very friendly and helpful.
Best Dentist in the Bay Area, considered, professional and extremely attentative. Highly recommended!
I was referred to Dr. Saddler's dental office several years ago. The ambience is very relaxing and will put you to sleep. And the staff rock, thanks for taking care of our smiles :).
I've been to the dentist more than anyone I know and I gotta say this clinic does it the best. The staff is helpful and kind, the doctor is super chill, and the work is 100%. 10/10 would def recommend!
First class service from front to back! Everyone is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I’ve been going here for years and highly recommend you patronize Dr. Saddler for your dental needs.
Warm, very professional and made you feel totally relaxed! Dr. Saddler was great. I was really impressed with his thoroughness and his fun personality. I would definitely recommend Dr. Saddler for the whole family!
Dr Saddler turned me from a-bit-nervous-about-dentists-type to relaxed. I’d been avoiding the dentist for years only going when absolutely necessary. I decided to find a regular dentist and Dr. Saddler helped fix my remaining issues and get me back on track. When a half-crown I’d had done years before came off, he squeezed me into his busy schedule right away. He’s great at ensuring you’re not in pain and feeling relaxed with his silly jokes and affable demeanor. I’ve been going regularly to him for the last year and a half and actually look forward to seeing him! His staff is very friendly and respectful of your time.
I called Dr. Saddler's office when my daughter had a toothache. They were able to get me in for an appointment the next day with follow up appts shortly after. The customer service and quality of service was excellent. Since then I have also recommended my older daughter for dental care and she has been very pleased with the quality of service from Dr. Saddler and his staff. They were also very considersate as we worked through my insurance/payment issues. Excellent dentist and staff - highly recommend!
We all hate going to the dentist but something about Dr. Saddler and his staff make it a lot less painless. With a warm office environment, friendly staff, and a skilled dentist, Saddler Family Dentistry is and will always remain my go-to. Dr. Saddler has been perfecting his skill for over 20 years and with each year he strives closer and closer to excellence. He and his staff work hard to make sure that each patient is comfortable and his friendly demeanor immediately puts one at ease, not to mention the work he does is basically painless! If ever you need a dentist, for an emergency or just a check up, Saddler Family Dentistry is the place to go!
My crown came off while visiting my daughter for Christmas. It needed glued back on. Her dentist Dr. Albright's office would not see me unless I signed on as a new patient and had to have complete x-rays. I had just had my cleaning and x-rays two weeks ago in North Carolina, so my insurance would not have paid and I told them that, but it didn't matter. Plus I'd not brought my dental insurance card and I would have had to pay the minimum of $248. I decided to walk to Dr. Saddlers office around the corner. Brianna the receptionist is a gem. She was unbelievable with every customer that came in and not just the regular nice, but the real empathetic nice. She attempted to contact my insurance company and went above and beyond what I would have expected. I paid $100 for them to see me and she would work with my insurance and return the difference. They welcomed me into their office and I had a chance to meet with the one lady dentist who was extremely personable and insightful with my crown. Dr. Saddler and his assistants were exceptional and welcoming. After talking with my dentist back home he went ahead and ground away all the old cement and redo the crown with permanent. I could not have had a more pleasant experience in spite of why I had to be there. They are a great wonderful team for a stranded person in need from another state David Harry
The staff here are wonderful my family has been using this dentist office since way before I was born and now my own son is a patient of theirs also.. Thank you for all you hard work and years of dedication to making everyone's smile better...
Great customer service
Always a pleasure to visit Dr. Saddler and his friendly and professional staff.
Dr. Saddler fit me in for my lost crown even when he did not really have a space, but because I was in pain and couldn't eat, he made one for me. He arranged for a temporary fix as well as a very swift permanent one. Plus, he's great with us nervous types.
I am one of those folks who NEVER went to a dentist until I absolutely had to! Such a mistake. I wound up waiting so long that I actually had to have molars extracted. Finally, I decided not to wait until the last minute with a newly chipped molar. I went to see Saddler. Wow. What a positive experience in every way. Not only is he someone you could easily hang out with, but he and his staff are fast and efficient--not to mention quite skilled. I had two teeth I was sure could not be saved. I went-in and came out with a nice new crown and feeling comfortable about smiling again. It's totally state of the art technology there. They don't even use an x-ray machine all the time--some new imaging technique instead. Well, I have since "signed-up" for lots more stuff that needs to be done to prevent any further problems. I keep telling my 23-year old son to go see him before it's too late. Couldn't ask for better results!
I had an excellent experience visiting Dr. Saddler's office for the first time! His office has a great text notification system which alerts you of upcoming appointments! Great for gals on the go. Upon arrival, I was greeted by two of his staff members. Both women were so nice and friendly. I only had to wait for about 30 seconds but they had a nice waiting area to relax in before your appointment. The actual teeth cleaning was speedy and efficient. Going to any teeth cleaning is never *awesome* but they did everything in their power to make it a pleasant experience. Aside from give me laughing gas *heh heh*. Dr. Saddler was very knowledgeable and kind. He asked me what my goals were for dental care which I thought was neat. It allowed me to ask him questions I wouldn't have felt comfortable asking otherwise. Like, are my teeth flat because I grind them at night? Good news guys: the answer is no :) I also got a little goody bag for the road which was stocked with treats: a toothbrush, mini toothpaste, mini floss, and two mini mouthwashes! I felt like a kid on Christmas!
I have always been afraid of dentist, but , Dr. Saddler is the best I've ever had. He's staff the best. Thanks so much for taking care of me.
This has been the best dentist experience. I've only ever been to western dental but decided to look around this time. Found them on MetLife and so happy I did. I get there and it's a very nice place, makes you feel at home. The staff were very friendly. And they were quick as well. Thought I'd be there for a couple hours, which is usually the case at western dental no matter if you have an appt. But this office keeps to their appts and I was in an out in under an hour. I'll be going back to get my wisdom teeth removed 😰but I know I'm in great hands with this staff!
Excellent work. Dr Zeeshan was very professional, thorough and kept me informed throughout the entire process. I had a crown which I was holding off and I am glad that I selected Dr. Saddler's office to do the work. Highly recommended.
Several visits now with Dr Saddler and his staff. Always friendly, always prompt. I am very happy to be a client and will be working with Dr. Saddler quite a bit going forward on dental implants.
Was always afraid of dentist and my experience in this office by all staff was friendly and professional.
Most of you know, dentists aren't my favorite places to go....but going to see Dr.Saddler, while a little painful, it was worth it. He is an excellent dentist....and I'm actually looking forward in going back.
Dr Saddler is a cool guy. He's somebody that I feel could randomly start a conversation with anybody, and get a couple laughs out of them. I hate dental procedures, and here I was, in his office, debating whether to get a chipped front tooth filled. He comes into the room, and we start having a short convo about basketball and football. 5 minutes later, I'm thinking to myself, "man this guy is cool", and then he begins to clearly explains to me what needs to be done to repair my tooth. At that point, I'm already at ease, agree to the procedure, and 30 minutes later, I have a brand new filled tooth. Cosmetically, the tooth repair turned out to be great, as I can hardly tell that the tooth was chipped as well. It's been over a month since I had the tooth repaired, and no filling has fallen out yet, so what can I say? He did a good job. I'll probably come back for routine check ups, cleanings, and maybe even invisalign.
Been going to Dr. Saddler for a few years, and simply he's the man! His staff is quite excellent as well. I get my regular cleanings with ease and even had a huge implant procedure done by the crew. Really smooth and painless (as possible) from start to finish. He has a charismatic way about him and he is thorough in explaining everything. Also they have first class technology in place. I highly recommend this practice.
Route Canal with no pain during or after. How can you not love this dentist.
I've been coming to Dr. Saddler's office for years. He always keep up with the latest and great equipment and the staff is outstanding. I would highly recommend anyone to him
Dr. Saddler is very professional and genuinely concerned for your health. The entire staff are all very nice. Not to mention the very clean atmosphere. He is also very down to earth and extremely funny. Do yourself self a favor and make your appointment today.
I have and will continue to recommend people to Dr. Saddler as I said before the customer service is very professional and Dr. Saddler genuinely cares for your well being.
Excellent
Great Dentist! The Best I have ever had. Did an implant bridge for me at the lowest cost among every dentist I polled. Dr. Saddler was very thorough and his work was excellent and PAINLESS! All his work is done in-house with high tech equipment and he manufactures your teeth replacements on a 3-D printer. Highest recommendations!
Great staff, great results!
I hadn't been to a dentist in 12 years. Yes, that is TWELVE. I mean, we all have issues, right? I just get a lil nervous . Anyways, Dr. Saddler and his extremely kind and competent team helped me feel super comfortable, and most importantly-- not judged at all. I'd heard he was amazing. Then I got to experience it. Thanks so much, Dr. Saddler for putting together an amazing team, along with being cool with dental delinquents, like myself :) I recommend him absolutely and wholeheartedly, especially to us nervous ones.
UPDATE: Came back for my crown. He has the technology to 3D print your tooth for you while you wait! So no going in first for a temporary crown then going in again when the real crown comes in weeks later. The technology is super cool and it's waaaaaay cheaper than an old-school crown. I continue to be impressed by Doc S and his staff. This office is amazing!
I found Dr. Saddler through my insurance's directory. I ultimately chose him because he has high ratings on Yelp, Facebook and Google. I arrive, sit in the chair, get my cleaning from his dental hygienist Natalie and x-rays from Maria. He and his staff took EXCELLENT care of me! Additionally, turns out he's a fellow Morehouse Man! I knew I was making the right decision and today's visit proves that. Dr. Saddler will be my dentist as long as I'm a Bay Area resident!
He's my Dentist & My Dr. too! Thank you so much for being a Blessing to me all these wonderful years. MDS.
Dr Saddler is a great dentist. He did an excellent job correcting my dental needs. His staff is pleasant and respectful. The dental clinic is clean, comfortable and calming.
THE BEST DENTIST EVER!
Dr. Saddler is very welcoming, warm, friendly and professional. I came in for a dental emergency and he was able to take care of my issue expeditiously. My smile is important. So to be able to have my dilemma handled with care and quickness means a lot to me. I'll continue to go to this office as long as I am in the Bay Area.
Dr. Saddler is the best!! A few months ago I made an appointment for a cleaning because I live across the street from his office and had seen positive reviews online. A week before my cleaning, I tripped carrying my bike up the stairs to my house and knocked out my two front teeth - at 5:55pm. I ran across the street into the office of an end-of-a-long-day Dr. Saddler & staff who gently worked with me during this bizarre trauma. He graciously took the time to help me. He was incredibly sweet and comforting while guiding me through the process and outlining the options for future - while also being up front about cost. After two root canals, x-rays and some temporary crowns, we realized I had enough of my original teeth left over to be able to move forward with 3-d printed crowns - a new technology his office has adopted. Dr. Saddler was incredibly helpful and careful with this process, valuing my time and the time of his other patients. He worked with my schedule and made sure that I was able to help design my new teeth on his program!! I LOVE my new teeth - even better than my originals. Dr. Saddler and his wonderful STAFF are great and I hope to return again soon to get that cleaning!
I found Dr. Saddler on my insurance panel, and he was the only dentist with consistently good reviews, so I made an appointment. I am very glad that I found him! The office managers were very friendly, I got in quickly, and scheduling a follow up was easy. The cleaning was a little painful, but my teeth felt clean afterwards. Dr. Saddler met with me briefly and was very warm and friendly.
Dr Saddler is the best.....Hands down.....He was my kids dentist first and he was great ...then he became my dentist...I highly recommend Dr Saddler .......
Extremely clean facility. Awesome employees that make your dental experience very comfortable. If you have children this is definitely the denist for your entire family. My six year old son started his dental care here about two years ago. He has no cavities and the staff gave me helpful easy tips to keep his dental hygiene in great condition. High tech new and modern dental equipment with cable tv in every exam room. As a busy working mom I look forward to coming here. I can relax and get a nap while I get my teeth cleaned!
Dr Saddler and his staff are awesome! I hadn't been to the dentist in 7 years, and I was super anxious. They made me feel at ease, and my 2 fillings were almost painless, much to my surprise!
What isn't there to love about Dr. Saddler dental office. State of the art new equipment, positive energetic environment and great staff. Not to mention the comfort of the waiting room. If you're looking for a dentist, I highly recommend this dental office!
Since discovering Dr. Saddler's office, I am no longer afraid of going to the dentist! The dental techs are amazing - fast and thorough and they don't ask you questions when you're mouth is open! Everyone in the office is super nice. 10/10
Dr Saddler squeezed me in during an emergency and handled me with care when I was anxious and in a lot of pain. Thank you!
Thank you Dr. Saddler and your amazing staff for the most professional, comfortable and compassionate experience we ALL WAYS receive. A special thank you for all you have done for us and our daughter. You have truly blessed and touched our lives in a huge way by reaching out and helping her in her educational goals ~ this has made a huge impact in her life. As parents, we can not thank you enough. It's amazing how much you truly care.
Love every single employee at this office! They are all very kind, helpful, and patient. Dr. Saddler is very funny and makes a visit to the dentist a pleasant one. There are TVs in every room, so if there is a wait, it doesn't feel like that long!
Dr. Saddler is "'Da Man" when it come to dentistry! That says a lot from one who has grown up hating the dentists' office experiences. I can always count on Dr. Saddler to make office visits pleasurable and effective in resolving my dentistry issues. He and his staff are professional, personable and efficient. I can always count on him to take care of my problems in a fast and satisfactory manner. I highly recommend the dentistry of Dr. Phillip Saddler!
Going to see Dr Saddler is actually a treat! Friendly and skilled, he puts you at ease right away, explaining everything as he goes. This is a place that NEVER makes you feel pressured to spend more than you can. My son found him first, and insisted I go to him when I needed a crown--Dr Saddler can give you a crown IN ONE DAY--they are called CEREC crowns, and they are quick and painless! Everyone that works there is friendly and very accommodating. Even after I moved almost 2 hours away, I still return there for all my work. No one comes even close!
Dr. Saddler and his staff is great. They are all down to earth, and don't try to sell you stuff that you don't need. The last two dentist I went to told me I had to redo my old fills, but Dr. Saddler told it was not a must. Unfortunately I no longer live in the area, and finding a Dr. as chill as this is not easy.
This dentist does a great work and has excellent customer service! My family loves Phillip Saddler and his father, this is the best Dentist we've ever seen!
More than a dentist. Dr. Saddler took special time to speak to my son about his hygiene and the importance of keeping clean. He also spent time mentoring. They say it takes a village and Dr. Saddler believes in his clients beyond just customers but investments. Thank Dr Saddler for being an extension of reason to a 17 year old who constantly hears from his pops.
Nothing but good things to say about this office (except maybe trying to find parking). I scheduled appointments for my husband and I back-to-back here as new patients, and they were very accommodating. They were able to fit us in within a few weeks. The actual office is a nice space with television to watch in the waiting area and rooms. The staff is very friendly, both on the phone and in person, and made sure we were comfortable the whole time. I have jaw issues, so during my cleaning the tech made sure to let me take breaks to rest it and made sure I was okay with everything. Dr. Saddler himself is a very nice man, listened to my questions and explained everything in a non-condescending or judgmental manner. Great experience. My husband and I will be repeat patients here.
I worked with DR SADDLER for years , and now a patient. lol
Friendly staff and one of the best dental hygienist I've ever had. I was very pleasantly surprised with this place (which I have walked by on my commute for years but never thought twice about until my regular dentist was too busy to see me). Glad I did!
If the thought of going to the dentist frightens you, I recommend Saddler Family Dentistry. It's a warm, friendly environment; both Dr. Saddler and his staff will make you feel immediately at ease. Phillip Saddler has been my dentist for more than 10 years, and I would never think of going anywhere else. The office may look small on the outside, but inside it's modern, with the latest in dental technology/equipment. No more waiting for a crown; Dr. Saddler and his team can x-ray (digital), build and place the crown in one visit. I especially appreciate that I never wait more than 15 minutes from my scheduled appointment time to get into an exam room. I have a rule, if I am not seen by a doctor within 30 minute of my scheduled appointment time, I leave. This has NEVER been an issue with Dr. Saddler, even when I have an emergency and they're "squeezing me in". The office is closed on Friday, not a negative comment, just a "for your information". Dr. Saddler's only downside has nothing to do with his dental practice (which I highly recommend). He is an avid S.F. Giants fan; however, Dr. Saddler is such a good dentist I have long since forgiven him this unfortunate lapse in judgment.
I've had a fear of dental work for awhile due to a few bad experiences over the years. Dr. Saddler just might change that. He recently fixed 5 of my fillings and it was the best dental experience I've had in a long time. He is also great with those numbing shots. If you're looking for a down to earth, professional, great neighborhood dentist...look no further. I've already recommended him to some of my friends.
Of course I had a dental emergency DAYS before my insurance was set to expire. Not only did they get me in (for a crown so not a short apt), the entire staff was incredibly nice & kept me informed about what was happening throughout the entire process. Dr Saddler was also super friendly and very personable. It was hands down the best dental experience I have ever had and I have really bad teeth so I have had more than my fair share. I also hadn't been to the dentist in a few years leading up to this and they were totally nice. NO JUDGEMENT about my terrible attention to my dental health.
Professional and honest with a top notch hygienist. Got a cleaning and xray and it was all pro quality and at a fair price. I will return no doubt. Plus Dr. Saddler is personable.
This Dental Office is amazing! State of the art equipment, very little discomfort if any! My crown came out on a Friday late afternoon I emailed Dr. Saddler with photos of my dilemma and he promptly emailed me back same day and made me an appointment for the next Tuesday as Monday was a holiday. Got a teeth cleaning and a new permanent crown all in one morning. Awesome place and when I need dental work done this is the first and only place I call!
Best family dentist ever
The entire staff deserves kudos and especially Dr. Phil Saddler who has created a family practice that really emphasizes FAMILY. That's exactly how they make you feel. Each person is well versed and office aura is very nice. They are patient and can detect uneasiness and they are so ready to put you at ease. I felt smarter about my teeth for me and my family after my visit. GREAT experience.
I was terrified to go to the dentist after not having been through grad school. I was experiencing pain and found Saddler Family Dentistry on my insurance website. They fit me in that day and were very nice and informative. I went back a week later to have an old filling fixed and a cap put on. I was very nervous and Dr. Saddler and his staff were all very nice and put me at ease. Dr. Saddler is also very personable and funny, which really helped me to feel less concerned. The procedure was surprisingly painless and very efficient. They also took care of all of the insurance issues! I really appreciated the time Dr. Saddler and the dental hygienists took to explain the procedures and to help ease my anxiety. I would recommend the practice to anyone seeking a dentist in the area!
Best dentist ever. Love Dr Saddler and ALL of his staff. He has been my family dentist for the past 15 years. I even drive from San Francisco to see him. If your looking for a dentist he is your man.
It's difficult to describe in words just how amazing my experience at Dr. Saddler's office was, but I'm going to attempt to do so here. It had been over four years since I'd last visited the dentist (and that was four years with no flossing!), so you can imagine my trepidation walking in through the door. But as soon as I came in and was greeted at the front desk, I knew I'd come to the right place (the inside of Dr. Saddler's office resembles a beautiful day spa). My Dental Hygienist, Mercedes, was one of the nicest ladies I've ever met. She came out to meet me, and we started on this amazing, state-of-the-art x-ray machine that got a full view of my teeth in about 30 seconds. I didn't need to bite down on those annoying little mouth pieces and wait half an hour while someone moved around a machine at different angles. I was worried that my teeth cleaning would be painful and bloody, especially since I had not been flossing, but Mercedes was incredibly gentle and considerate, and she would consistently make sure I felt comfortable. She cleaned and polished my teeth fantastically, and now they look better than ever! Dr. Saddler came in to meet me shortly after, and I hardly had to wait at all, which I really appreciate. He was the nicest dentist I've ever met - he has a great big smile and jolly demeanor. He explained the condition of my teeth in very simple and clear terms, and although he told me I should be flossing, he wasn't pretentious or patronizing in the least. I personally hate it when dentists give you a hard time about decisions you've already made, so this was greatly appreciated on my part. I'll definitely be visiting Dr. Saddler again, and I would suggest anybody to do the same - especially if they're worried about not having visited the dentist in a while!
I had quite an adventure with this dentist. I went in to have 2 minor cavities filled (apparently all the brushing and flossing in the world still doesn't always prevent cavities). I was having some cold & slight pressure sensitivity in one of my upper molars. Upon examination, they found a cavity in one of my lower molars, and also decided to do a filling in the upper one with sensitivity as a preventative measure. Afterward I was feeling more sensitivity in the upper tooth, and a terrible ache along my entire jaw on the side of the lower molar. I went back into the dentist, and this is where the debacle began, and when this dentist proved how incredible he was. He redid the fillings. Twice. There was still pain. I went in for a second opinion at a different dentist (a little afraid of offending my current dentist because he and everyone in his office were SO nice, and knew me by name). The other dentist said that Dr. Saddler had done excellent work, and whatever was wrong with my teeth was something he couldn't see (maybe it was the type of filling, maybe there was a hairline fracture undetectable by x-ray). I went back to Dr. Saddler (now that it was confirmed that he hadn't done anything wrong). He knew I had gotten a second opinion, and rather than be offended, he actually encouraged it; whatever was necessary to get at the root (no pun intended) of the problem. I had a list of recommendations from the other dentist, so we tried the first one: change the type of filling. So he redid the fillings again. This fixed the upper molar, but the horrible ache was still occurring in my jaw, indicating that the problem went down to the root. He did a crown on this tooth to see if that would fix it. Still didn't. Skipping to the end (and a few more re-done fillings later), what must have happened was the first session of drilling into that molar had created hairline fractures in what was already a ready-to-fracture tooth (probably because I clench my jaw & grind my teeth in my sleep). A root canal was necessary. Once it was performed and the excruciating pain that inevitably follows subsided, my tooth was finally better! You should know that all of these re-done fillings (I think about 7 visits in total) were done for FREE. Dr. Saddler didn't charge me for one of them. He was never frustrated or impatient; he was only upset at himself because I continued to be in pain, and he was determined to solve the problem. The problem which could have been caused - accidentally - by any dentist, that no one could have avoided. He took great care of me and stuck with it until the problem was solved. Dr. Saddler is an amazing dentist - he does great work and he actually cares about his patients. By trying to find a dentist for a second opinion I ran across a lot of reviews and realized how good I had it with him. All of the other 5-star reviews for him are well-earned, and I wish I could add more than just one to the bunch. Also, when I've gone in without insurance (which I'm going to have to again), they give me the lower price (not the one they charge insurance companies with; the one they charge individuals with). So they really do care. Thanks for reading!
First of all, when I think of dentist, I think of pain, I can not tolerate the pain of even a hang nail.-- But, Dr. Saddler and his staff, from the people who answer the phones and schedule the appointments, to the technicians, always put me at ease, no matter how anxious I am. Each and every time I say to Dr. Saddler I can not take any pain, he smiles and says I got this. And he does. His easy going style and great sense of humor, has helped me to make my dental care regular and consistent. I trust his work and knowledge about each procedure. I would recommend Dr. Saddler and his wonderful staff in a heart beat.
Dr. Saddler is the best dentist I have ever had the pleasure of knowing! Not only is he incredible at what he does, but he is also very personable and funny! I don't do well with dentists or needles, and he made my filling a positive experience. The freezing and drilling was painless and quick. He was very gentle through the whole process. He is also a very kind and laid back person, which put me at ease right away. He sat down with me and explained everything that was going on in my mouth and what needed to be done before he even began working on my mouth, which I thoroughly appreciated. The filling did end up being a little "high" after he had finished, but since I was frozen on that side, I couldn't make a sound judgment on it at the time. He told me to come back if it bothered me as the day went on. As we had suspected, the height of the filling was affecting my bite through the day, so I popped back over to Dr. Saddler and got it filed down to size. They didn't charge me any extra and were completely happy to fix me up! Insurance was an absolute breeze. All I had to do was tell them who my provider was, and they literally took care of everything else. Since my insurance covers preventative care at 100% (ie: routine cleaning) and since it doesn't have a rate for sealants (which I got done), they only charged me the $40.20 for the filling. Sealants on the house - woop woop! The heigenist who did my cleaning (Mercedes was her name, I believe?) was such a sweetheart and so gentle. She showed me my x-rays and explained exactly what it showed them about what needed to be fixed and future concerns. I'd never had anyone explain to me in such great - and helpful - detail! She also showed me proper flossing techniques to reduce gum recession. Everyone from the receptionist to the x-ray technician was friendly and very pleasant to deal with. Scheduling was easy and efficient, and they got me in right away both times I came in. They keep a good speed about the office, but I never once felt rushed. Also, you gotta love the free toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss! I will definitely be back and I would encourage anyone - child or adult - to give Dr. Saddler a chance to change your opinion about dentists forever. Thanks Dr. Saddler and staff!
From the moment Dr. Saddler called me I was feeling very comfortable. I was very impressed that Dr. Saddler had time to call me personally. Once I had my appointment I started to get text messages to remind me of my appointment.(Love the text messages) The office was so HIGH TECH with the latest dental equipment, I was thinking I been going to the wrong dentist all this time and now I have a new home. I had my own TV & remote, I didn't think I was at a dental office. Love my new DDS office... Keep doing what you doing!!!!
It seems curious and borderline supernatural that I could post a 5-star rave review for somebody that I've always associated with the devil incarnate - a dentist - but do it I must, for Dr. Saddler is one of the best that I've ever encountered. A consummate professional and a genius at his craft, and super laid back and friendly to boot. Despite feeling both terror- and guilt-stricken over not having been to a dentist in __ years, both he and his equally friendly staff put me at immediate ease and made the whole process a lot smoother than can be anticipated. During my visits, I was consistently impressed with the timeliness and efficiency of the office staff. Gone were the days of languishing in crappy waiting rooms, leafing through page after page of Better Homes and Gardens. I was always summoned within 2-3 minutes of my designated appointment time. Furthermore, they took into account that I'm still a student and were very accommodating of my financial situation, making sure to minimize costs whenever possible (even after my insurance had been maxed out). All in all, I ended up spending more than 1/3 less than what I initially thought I would have to spend on all of the dental work I ended up getting. Also, I'm not sure what it is about Dr. Saddler. He is just the best. The man stuck a laser in my mouth (a LASER, you guys) and I still wanted to give him a hug after that. His kind, soothing voice and kooky sense of humor made everything bearable and almost fun. Overall, this was a great experience and I would highly recommend Dr. Saddler's establishment to anyone residing in the Berkeley/Oakland area. P.S. they accept SHIP insurance.
As you know my last visit I had a root canal performed so I was back in to get the permanent filling placed. The office was buzzing yesterday with kids and adults. Although there was a little wait period in the lounge area it was un-noticeable due to the delightful. group of people in the waiting room and The judge Judy show everyone was engage in deep comment and conversation about the cases presented that episode. When I heard my name called , it's my turn now Dr. Phill & i exchanged pleasentry's he got right to work removed the temporary filling replaced it with the permanent filling all done with a soft touch and humerious comments while Sam and Maria assisted him and in 10 minutes the procedure was completed. Another 5 star performance by Dr. Phill & his staff. Gotta go now but I'll be back smiles all around
My husband and I had a good experience with Saddler Family Dentistry. The atmosphere in the office is really friendly and relaxed. Everyone who worked on our teeth, from the hygienist to the dentist, explained things thoroughly in a non-judgmental way (it had been awhile since we'd been to the dentist, unfortunately) and made sure we were comfortable throughout the cleaning and check-ups. We never felt like they were trying to sell us on work that we didn't really need (which has happened with other dentists). As mentioned by Rebecca H., this isn't a fancy-schmancy practice in an upscale neighborhood, but the office is comfortable, the technology is up-to-date, and we really appreciated how nice and relaxed everyone was. I've always dreaded the dentist, but felt very at ease here. We both have to go back to address some minor issues, and I will try to update this if anything about my opinion changes.
After seeing Dr. Saddler's office... PROS -excellent customer service. This dentistry is run by a family, and I was able to meet all of them during my visit. They are very kind and reassuring--great for people who are more worried about practical dental care (especially if it's been a while) rather than being berated about non-perfect teeth. All of my questions were answered without any judgment, in clear English rather than lingo. Also, both dentists were very sensitive to avoid causing pain while cleaning my chipped tooth; in general, they gently (but thoroughly) went about my cleaning. -Educational component. The dentists reviewed my x-rays and photographs with me, explaining not only what my mouth is like right now, but what I should be aware of if I see another dentist next time. They also explained how fillings can wear out, and offered to replace mine without saying my previous dentist was a hackjob (which I've experienced a lot between previous dentists). -Two opinions. Both Dr. Saddler and Mercedes (both dentists) looked at my x-rays separately, then compared notes to make sure they didn't miss anything. No dual-visit charges. -Straightforward money information. I wanted to be very sure that I didn't find any hidden costs, because I'm on a budget. Everybody was great about patiently walking through different choices with me. Prices were very reasonable. -Good technology. In addition to modern x-rays and such, this dentist has a website, and you can sign up for email and/or text alerts for appointments. -Comfortable environment. There is a nice little waiting area with very comfortable chairs and some fish. There are tvs around (in the waiting room and dental rooms) if you need a distraction. I just have to add that, leaving this dentist office...it was the first time that I actually wanted to return to a dentist's office for my next appointment! CONS -This is a lower socioeconomic neighborhood, and the outside of the building looks 'sketchy' to a lot of people on google maps. So it's not for those people who want shiny downtown dentists. Personally, I'd rather go for this comfortable and reliable option rather than fight to get into the "top-notch" dentist offices around Ashby and College avenues. But to each their own.
First to Review Very friendly, fast, and skillful. I went in for a root canal and everything went very smoothly, results were very good. Perhaps most notably, of all the dentist visits in my life (aside from visits for a simple cleaning) this was definitely the LEAST amount of pain or discomfort I've experienced during dental work. Note again, this was for a root canal on a molar. Very impressive. I highly recommend this office to anyone, but especially UC Berkeley students, coverage through the student health insurance went through fine.
