After having a lifetime of cosmetic dental issues, due to fluorosis, The dentist in this clinic fixed it with a new treatment, really happy with the result. Staff was also very welcoming. Recommend.

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.

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.

Too all of those wondering, "is Mike P. still seeing Dr. Citron?", you bet your ass I am. Chiming in nearly 3 years later, and the experience has only gotten better. Dr. C upgraded the office digs this year, but hasn't let his well-deserved success go to his head. Since my first post, I've relocated to San Francisco, but twice yearly make my pilgrimage to the East Bay at 7 a.m. to see Dr. C. Hell, I look forward to it! Dr. Citron remains the best dentist in the Bay Area, hands down, bar none.
What are you waiting for? Stop seeing your current, loser dentist (sorry, I'm sure that he or she is a very nice person) and get with Dr. C! Also, please subscribe to my SoundCloud. Just kidding, but what I'm not kidding about is how great Dr. C is! To paraphrase the greatest thinker of a generation, Shia LaBeouf (and date myself in the process), "Don't let your dreams [of having a capable, kind and effective dentist] be dreams!" Go see Dr. C today!
