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.read more

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. 😊read more
Dr, Saddler and his whole practice are the best! I used to hate going to the dentist (unique, I know) but I am entirely... turned around. They always see me promptly, I am in and out in half an hour, and they don’t push procedures that aren’t necessary. Friendly, great at their jobs all around, and using the latest tech. 100% recommend!read more
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.read more

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 inmy 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!!read more
