Thank you to our neighbors! We are honored to once again be voted a Neighborhood Fave for 2023. This award means so much for our business and helps us continue to grow in our community!

On September 3, 1996, we first opened our office door to patients after taking over the practice from Dr. Henry Sutro who had had the practice for 46 years. We were newlyweds of 3 weeks, in our 20’s, and had no real clue how to run a business. Now in our 50’s with at least half a clue, we’re still here! And we owe a huge debt of gratitude to all of our trusted team members and loyal patients for getting us through the past 25 years! Thank you!

A few hours after receiving our own 2nd doses, we found ourselves back on the other end of the syringe administering COVID vaccines at Asian Health Services in Oakland Chinatown.

We are excited to report that every member of our office team received the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine last week! While we will continue with our strict PPE, disinfection, and screening protocols, it's nice knowing that we have this important layer of protection for ourselves, our patients, our families, and even the strangers we pass at the grocery store.

FYI: None of us had any side effects beyond a sore arm and maybe slight fatigue. If you have any questions about our experiences, please feel free to ask.

Our holiday party and white elephant gift exchange wasn’t quite the same this year, but we still had a fun time celebrating our last day in the office after a pretty exhausting 7 months of dentistry. It’s nice when you like the people you work with as well as the patients you serve. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

We really do have some of the nicest patients. Thank you for the encouragement and feedback!

RECENT DENTAL CLEANING
I was able to make an appointment for a cleaning. From the first email to me exiting the office after service, the office was very transparent in their COVID 19 office visit protocol. I felt they were very professional, friendly, and safe throughout this whole process. L.M.

MY EXPERIENCE WAS WONDERFUL AS ALWAYS
Dr. Yabu is always so friendly and patient. We talk about all kinds of things. Both Blanca and I feel he is very competent. Mary assisted me with locating the somnomed rep and securing the referral from Kaiser. She is always very friendly and accommodating. She was able to fit me in early due to cancellation-much appreciated. The tech who took xrays and impressions was very friendly and explained the process in detail. We were also able to take xrays in advance of my cleaning appt in two weeks. They seem to have gone to great lengths to ensure patients felt safe with many COVID-related upgrades. Great Job! D.M.

PROFESSIONAL AND FRIENDLY
My husband has Parkinson’s with difficulty walking. The staff, Mary, let me filled out a COVID-19 questionnaire, took my temperature, gave me hand sanitizer, so that I could help my husband walked into the office. Then, Mary, gave me a call when the dental work was done. In a rush, when I arrived at the office I realized I forgot my face mask at home. I was going back home for the face mask. But, the office staff provided me a face mask instead. Dr. Yabu has been my husband’s dentist 10+ years. It’s nice to be around a professional and friendly staff. A.M.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICE
Dr Lim provides skilled dental care in a state of the art environment with expert, friendly, prompt treatments. She manages to instill confidence by her soothing explanations as she works with a gentle touch. Her staff have been extremely accommodating throughout the years always helping to reduce my stress and I think their office has done an excellent job providing safety precautions during covid. C.B.

ALWAYS OUTSTANDING CARE AND SERVICE
Was a little nervous, naturally, about going to the dentist during COVID. Should not have worried. Every precaution was taken, and I felt completely safe. Excellent care and service from every member of the staff. These are our long-term dentists, and I highly recommend. K.W.

EXCELLENT CARE!
I was so impressed with the office. From the minute that I arrived to the time I left. You guys really out did yourselves. Quality of care was excellent. All the changes I was blown away. 👏🏻👏🏻 I was so relaxed, I felt safe not a worry in the world. Spoke to some friends and I told them how my visit went they were so impressed. During these unsettling times I your office is #1. Thank you for going the extra mile to make the office a relaxing place for both staff and patients. G.N.

GREAT ORAL APPLIANCE!
I saw Dr. Yabu and his assistant Ana. They were both great! I got fitted for an oral appliance to help with a restricted airway at night, and the process was easy. They're also VERY good about COVID precautions. Everything felt very safe. PPE, hand sanitizing, physical distancing, you name it. F.W.

SKILLED, PATIENT, AND COMPASSIONATE
Thanks Dr. Lim! Everything felt very safe amid COVID-19 modifications. Dr. Lim was patient, skilled, and persistent when replacing my filling today. I am very sensitive, but she was committed to making sure I was fully numb before proceeding. She is always willing to explain what she is doing. S.C.

COVID-CAREFUL SETTING
Always efficient, friendly, competent, caring, and I felt very safe with the precautions taken during this time. K.M.

COVID-SAFE, COMFORTABLE, CARING, COMMUNICATIVE
I've been seeing Dr. Lim many years. After Covid-19 came to the U.S. and the office was forced to close temporarily, I wondered what it be like to go to the dentist when they could reopen. They kept me informed by email about reopening and explained the lengths to which they have gone to make their office safe with new procedures and protections put in place. I was very comfortable with the new protections they had put into place. Dr. Lim listened to me carefully. She carefully and competently took care of my dental needs today. It's great to have a dentist who not only makes your oral health a priority, but who treats patients with respect and caring. D.M.

FEELING OF SAFETY
The precautions in place gave me a sense of security in regards to the virus, although I am still not comfortable with rinsing my mouth with hydrogen peroxide. It stings and I'm afraid I might swallow some. Fortunately, Rachel brought me some water to rinse out my mouth after that, so I felt a little better, although my mouth stung for about ten minutes after I using the hydrogen peroxide. I'm deeply grateful, however, that I can continue to rely on receiving dental care from people who offer wonderful dental service and care about their patients.

Recently, we've been receiving some questions about the WHO's guidance recommending the delay of dental care and the American Dental Association's statement in which it "respectfully yet strongly disagrees" with the recommendation. While our concerns over COVID led us to voluntarily close our office back in March even before we were recommended to do so, we are now confident in our screening, PPE, distancing, and disinfection measures' ability to keep both our patients and ourselves safe. If you have visited our office, you have no doubt already seen many of our carefully thought-out systems and protocols.

Since we reopened on May 26 after a 2.5-month closure, we have seen over 1200 patients. So far, we have received zero reports from patients or dental team members of any positive tests or suspected transmissions (knock on wood). While this seems to be consistent with the dental community as a whole, we do feel as if our particular attention to detail and safety-first mindset has created a dental environment that is as safe as reasonably possible. All of this said, we understand that the decision to seek or postpone dental care is a personal choice in which one must weigh for themselves the risk of leaving the house vs. the risk of delaying preventive, restorative, or urgent dentistry.

If you have any questions or concerns that you would like to discuss with us, please do not hesitate to give us a call. More than ever, your comfort is our top priority.

The American Dental Association (ADA) respectfully yet strongly disagrees with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recommendation to delay “routine” dental care in certain situations due to COVID-19.

In preparation for our grand reopening on June 1st, we have been busy setting up our office to meet the highest standards of safety for our patients and ourselves. We have reconfigured our waiting room to provide for social distancing, installed sneeze guards at the front counter, placed HEPA air filtration units in every treatment room and other more trafficked areas, acquired an EcoluxTech hypochlorous acid generator for surface and aerosol disinfection, stocked up on face shields and other PPE, and implemented new patient and office team screening and intake protocols.

03/17/2020

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, our office will be closed until at least May 4th. For dental emergencies, please call or text us at 510-368-5582. For any non-emergency questions or concerns, please email [email protected]. Stay healthy and safe out there!
