Reviewed on May 26th, 2022 • Verified patientAs a new client they got me in the same day!!! Thanks to covid it had been awhile since I had been in. Melody and Camille were super friendly when I entered and as I booked the appointment. Waomi was my hygienist and she was so caring. I am not a big fan of going to the dentist, I get anxiety so she was so attentive and did great. Dr. Gupta was awesome as well. I have some stuff to fix in my mouth and she set up the plan explained everything nicely and I feel like I’m in good care. So happy to have found this dentist office. All the staff is so welcoming.This review is the subjective opinion of a patient and not of Opencare.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[128850].errors[0] }}0 found this review helpful

Reviewed on February 21st, 2020 • Verified patientDr Lebo was very experienced and was able to walk me through what was happening in my mouth and also show me the different materials coming out of my mouth. The x-rays were pretty tedious though and at one point it was in such an uncomfortable position I couldn't breathe through my mouth or my nose. Overall, good experience!This review is the subjective opinion of a patient and not of Opencare.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[100894].errors[0] }}0 found this review helpful

Reviewed on January 30th, 2020 • Verified patientI went for my first visit today at the Vaksman Dental Group office over at 450 Sutter St. I got to the office about 30 minutes early and the great thing was that all my paperwork was completed beforehand so I did not have to fill anything out. They did not have a lot of patients that day so I was able to start my appointment right when I arrived. The dental assistant gave me my X-Rays and also took pictures of my teeth with this really cool pen. The only negative I have to say about this experience is that the X-Ray portion of the appointment took a really long time--more than it usually takes in any other dental office I've been in (not sure if it was the software or if they were being overly cautious). This was also the first office that I've been to where the actual dentist came in to clean my teeth and check on me. Dr. Kayla L'ebo was really upbeat, professional, and courteous. The dental assistant finished up with flossing and polish. Overall, I don't think there was any hiccups to this appointment and I like the location. The office is a bit small and is an open floorplan so depending on where you sit, you can kind of see someone getting their teeth done.This review is the subjective opinion of a patient and not of Opencare.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[97710].errors[0] }}0 found this review helpful

Reviewed on December 16th, 2019 • Verified patientThe office was nice, the staff was warm and welcoming, The hygienist was great and so was the dentist. So why the three star review? I confirmed with them ahead of time (before appt), in the office, and upon leaving, that I would be charged $0 for this, because my insurance covers everything since they have used them before (they knew if this and told me this). It wasn’t until about a week later but I got a statement in the mail claiming that I had to pay $67 after insurance for my yearly cleaning. I thought that was odd, so I called the dentist office. She made it seem as if they hadn’t worked with Guardian before, and they weren’t sure why they were charging me for the photos they took of my mouth. Only after questioning several times, did the front office person tell me that Guardian does not cover for this line item (“something we only do the first time,” she told me). After complaining several times and wondering why I was charged for this and why I was not told ahead of time, she finally agreed she would attempt to remove the charge from billing. Fine. Because of this, I wanted to cancel my appointment the next week because I wasn’t sure what I was going to be charged (and they said my insurance would again, cover everything). She sort of gave me some attitude and then hung up on me. I called back to make sure my appointment was canceled and that she was going to remove the billing. She said “yes,” and that was that. Overall, this experience left a bad taste in my mouth (no pun intended).This review is the subjective opinion of a patient and not of Opencare.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[93877].errors[0] }}0 found this review helpful

Reviewed on November 15th, 2019 • Verified patientDr. Kayla Lebo at the office saw me for my checkup, and I was extremely impressed with the overall experience. She was very detailed with my cleaning and checkup, and I left with a very reasonable treatment plan.

Reviewed on August 29th, 2019 • Verified patientDr. Vaksman was extremely kind, patient and gentle - I would recommend her to any and all! It's been a while since I visited a dentist for more than just a cleaning, and she explained everything she was doing & why, and was extremely through and yet gentle at the same time. She also had incredible bedside manner - checking in with me often to make sure I was doing okay, making recommendations rather than hard sells on treatment plans and options, and even going so far as to distract me so I didn't feel the Novocain needle! So glad to find such a thoughtful and kind dentist out in the bay area.This review is the subjective opinion of a patient and not of Opencare.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[81322].errors[0] }}0 found this review helpful

Reviewed on July 3rd, 2019 • Verified patientI haven't been to the dentist in 2.5 years and knew I had completely erased all of the good work I'd had done years before that. I was not "over-sold" on deep-cleaning, etc. - I know I need it. And quite possible a root canal. But Dr. Vaksman did not try to oversell me at all. On the contrary, she hopes to be conservative and fix the cavity with a large filling and avoid a root canal.This review is the subjective opinion of a patient and not of Opencare.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[77354].errors[0] }}0 found this review helpful
