DO NOT SEE THIS DENTIST. I went to this dentist and was told to pay upfront for my cleaning which I did. It was $600. They said that I would be reimbursed the money by mail. They filled out the form for the reimbursement. I never received the money and had to call my insurance company for them to tell me that the check was sent to the Emeryville Dental, not me. When I called Emeryville Dental, they said that now I had credit with them. Obviously a snarky way for me to spend MORE money with them. Also they told me I had 9 cavities. This was diagnosed by a laser pointer tool. I later got a second opinion, and was told I had 2 cavities, and that insurance does not cover cavities discovered by the laser due to it not currently being proven as diagnostic. Also, I did need to get a deep cleaning done on my gums. They were going to charge me $1300 after insurance for this and at my other dentist it is $500. Also my other dentist told me that my cleaning was completely covered by my insurance twice yearly, although Emeryville Dental charged me $600 upfront and reimbursed themselves with the $450 of credit in their office. They wanted to remove my wisdom teeth. This dentist also said, "Its not that you are getting fat, your cheeks just look fat because you grind your teeth at night." She wanted to charge me another $800 to get a mouth gaurd. Aside from the criticism, I have never been told I grind my teeth at night. Also, my current dentist said normally there are signs of grinding such as molars getting flattened on top and she did not see any signs of this. Emeryville dental wanted to also remove all my wisdom teeth. My current dentist said my wisdom teeth are not compromising the rest of my teeth at all and show no signs of bacterial build up and there is no reason to remove these. She told me that I had very good genes on my side in the way of health of my teeth. She did recommend the deep cleaning which I did, and she took care of my two cavities at the total cost of $600. Had I stayed with Emeryville Dental, it would have cost me over $5,000 for all the falsified diagnosiss they wanted to "treat." Emeryville Dental is just a bunch of money hungry liars. GO ELSEWHERE!!

This is one of the worst places to go. They are just running a farce business in the name of dental care. My wife and I went for our cleaning on Dec 2015. We only decided to do the basic cleaning, which at that time they said was a total of $70. They were not sure how much my insurance would cover, but insisted that it wont be more that $35 at that time. After that, Dr. Rose Magno did not do the cleaning properly and I could still feel a deposited layer on my teeth, which I never had felt on my prior visits to other dentists. Then they scheduled future appointments without our consent (as if to show how much they cared). I came to know about it after a month and when I called them to cancel both of our appointments, they said they had pending charges on my wifes account. They went on to tell me then that the cleaning fees was $150 and only $90 was paid my insurance for her. They did not even contact us with the statement of pending charges and now said that I had to pay $72 because there were some charges as I did not pay on time. When I asked about why they did not let me know, the person at the reception just said that they would send us an email with the statement. Why the hell didnt they send the email or the bill to us at the first place? It is so ridiculous to deal with such an incompetent staff and doctors. I highly recommend not to go to this place. They do not care about people and only want money.

It was such a pleasure of meeting with Dr. Rose during my dental checkup. While I had some fears about my problems, that normally happens with me, I never had to feel in the same way when I was having my check up. Dr. Rose is a nice human being and professional too. She guides you every time along with the treatment and who doesnt want to be treated by a person who deals with you in a friendly yet professional manner. The best thing I like about them is their way of behaving. It was fantastic to meet Dr. Rose and all of her staff. Im having another check up in coming days and Im not afraid anymore because of it as I know someone there is also ready to take care of my problems. I would recommend Dr. Rose and her staff to everyone.

DO NOT SEE THIS DENTIST. After one visit they told me I had 7 cavities (havent had any in the past 4 years) and needed a very expensive piece of headgear for some difficult to describe problem. I went to a different dentist for a second opinion who told me I needed none of these things! Aside from all this, they had the gall to CHARGE ME for looking at MY X-RAYS, and continually tried to bill me and my insurance company for he headgear which I told them i did not want. Insurance problems continue 6 months after the appointment. If there was a way for me to shut them down I would. Check yelp for more accurate reviews!

Stay away from this dentist. You will feel like you are at a sales call meeting with the list of items this dentist recommends… she is ridiculous and unethical. A simple routine cleaning turns to a major dramatization. I left the office completely worn out with the back and forth on all her ludicrous recommendations (her favorite word --- this is covered by your insurance). Awful. I will never go back. Oh, not to forget the piles and piles of consents forms you have to sign. I would seriously stay away from this place. I would not recommend.

After having my smile done, the experience was very exciting to see my transformation. I was always a person that liked to smile, but now I even have more reason to smile. There is usually not a day that goes by when someone comments on how beautiful my teeth are. To feel the happiness that this has brought to me, I only wish that more people could do this for themselves. I felt tremendous comfort and confidence in Dr. Rose Magno and his team. This is an investment I will never regret doing.

Ive never posted a review on services before, but this time I simply had to share how happy I am. I just had my first appointment with Dr Rose Magno and Im thrilled! She FAR EXCEEDED my expectations on every level. Dr. Magno is an artist first and foremost, but beyond that its clear that she truly likes people, and cares deeply about her patients. Before even getting into the chair, she took time to explain the procedure and answer questions (even sketching things out on paper for me).

This dentist (Magno) is super creepy. Mean, impatient and contentious. She performs unnessary work and charges to the hilt! Please see the reviews on yelp and insider pages. People either love her or hate her. My guess is she is writing the positive reviews for herself. Seriously! I just wish someone would report her to the dental board. I would have for her false accusations of cavities, but I found out about this avenue of recourse after the statute of limitations.
