Berkley Jeffrey S DDS

Great dental work. Terrible secretarial staff. Told them to schedule my follow up appointment sometime prior to 9am. I said I preferred 8am due to work, she told me that wasn’t available that it’d have to be around 8:30am. When I arrived they said I wouldn’t be seen because the doctor was already with a patient under anesthesia and that I was supposed to arrive at 8! Now I won’t be able to be seen until 3:30PM!!! With the infection I have in my mouth caused by the surgery I had with them I would recommend finding a more reliable dental surgeon. Or at least one with more reliable secretaries.

I had a great experience here. Had 4 wisdom teeth out, I’m in my thirties, so I was concerned with recovery time, but Dr. Berkley did an amazing job. Had it done Friday morning, and was back at work Tuesday. If I was less of a weenie, I could’ve gone in Monday. The staff was very nice. I had an issue with my insurance, and the office staff took care of it. I never waited long at appointments, and they always called me back promptly. The main nurse who worked with me on the day of my surgery was absolutely lovely and put me right at ease. The office needs a bit of updating, but that didn’t really matter to me. I found it homey; others may be turned off. Don’t let it deter you, Dr. Berkley was incredibly competent, answered all my questions (a zillion) patiently, and didn’t make me feel rushed. I even asked him why he chose this profession and if he liked it, and he had a great answer and didn’t brush it off (no idea why I find that important, I just do). I think the only thing I would change would be to ask for a bit more time between the surgery itself and the take-​home instructions, since I barely remember talking with the doctor when it was over. Ten minutes would have made a big difference. My follow-​up appointment was with a different provider, Dr. Hakimizadeh, but after a moment of disappointment since I had some questions, it was fine. He was also quite nice.
I would absolutely return here if I needed any other oral surgery procedures.
