I’ve had such a great experience with my hygienist, Courtney, at Bay Area Implants and Periodontics. She is truly exceptional at what she does. Every visit, she makes me feel completely comfortable and cared for, and her professionalism and gentle approach always stand out. Courtney explains everything clearly, checks in often to make sure I’m doing okay, and creates an environment where I feel relaxed and confident in the care I’m receiving. She’s genuinely one of the best, and I’m grateful to have her as my hygienist.

Attentive and knowledgeable professionals, from the receptionists to medical providers. I was treated by Dr. Elena Saenz with compassion and aplomb. She and her staff collected necessary data to determine options for my periodontal care and explained everything to me clearly. Great experience!

Dr. Sanz and her team were amazing. Had a wisdom tooth pulled and it was easy and healed almost completely in 1 week. Can't thank her enough. I highly recommend her!

My appointment was handled well, and even though the outcome wasn't the best, it was the best I could hope for. I believe I got in at the appropriate time to get the needed treatment for my case. I appreciated the staff and Dr. Ha for taking my questions, and explaining everything in detail so I could understand the procedure and outcome.
(6mos) Now that all the work has been done, I feel very confident about the procedure. I was checked prior to my crowns and given a "thumbs up". I am very pleased with the staff, from start to finish. They were professional and willing to answer any questions I had. Dr. Ha was diligent in his work, along with assistants. Now, it's on to the next phase.
Finally got my after placement cleaning and checking of the dental procedure. All is good and on to next year. Only issue I had was with the dentist who installed the crowns. Both had to be redone and one came of five times in one day, even in the office. Not a good experience on that end.

I misread my calendar and needed to be phoned to make my appointment. The dental technician was very sympathetic and put me at ease. As always, her work was first class.
