I highly recommend the whole staff at Bittner Family Dental. Dr. Chloe was an extremely skilled and kind doctor and she was able to quickly and painlessly complete my fillings. She made the whole procedure so comfortable and communicated with me on every step. I also had a great experience with the rest of the staff, including Celia and Stephanie who gave great advice and made sure I felt comfortable the entire appointment. Thank you!

Both Drs. Bittner (Sr. and Jr.), and Dr. Jen, plus two dental assistants worked on helping me acquire a bridge in one afternoon this week. Awesome teamwork and dedication! They made an extraordinary effort to take care of my dental issues. I chose Dr. Bittner as my dentist almost 15 years ago and although I live in another state now, I fly back to the Bay Area for appointments; I would not consider going anywhere else!

I am also a dentist and the young Jerry Bittner III is the only doctor I will let touch my teeth. I live in southern California and will fly up to him whenever I need work done. He has an extremely gentle touch, knows his stuff very well, and is the best dentist that I know. His family practice is also incredibly amazing and relaxing. I highly, highly, recommend Dr. Bittner III and their practice.

I've been to a variety of dental practices in my life and always thought I was given good treatment. I just didn't know any better. After coming to Bittner Family Dental, I now in fact know what it feels like to be under amazing care. None of my other experiences even come close to mine here! From the second you walk through the door, you are immediately made family and the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable.
I saw Dr. Jerry and he did such an awesome job giving me a thoughtful treatment plan. You can truly tell that he cares about his patients and takes pride in his work. He actually has already given me two fillings using a laser, which I've never seen before, and I am beyond impressed. I was shown before and after pictures and you can't even notice there is a filling there! Just looks like a regular ol' tooth. I've never had such confidence in a dentist before and would 1000% recommend Dr. Jerry and Bittner Family Dental Group to anyone in need of an amazing dentist!

My experience with the Bittner Dental Group has been very positive as the entire staffs are warm and inviting. On Wednesday, I had my teeth examined and cleaned by Dr. Jerry who was very professional and listened to your concerns and addressed them one at a time. I felt that he was extremely thorough in both the examination and cleaning while simultaneously making sure that I was comfortable during the procedure and I appreciate his dedication to both his profession and his patients.
