Recently, I visited D. Eric Yabu of Oakland, CA., and, I was very impressed with Dr. Yabu from the onset. Prior to my appointment with Dr. Yabu, he was ever so gracious to speak at length over the phone with me to discuss my dental issues. To my utter dismay, I had not had pleasant experiences with my previous dentists, many of whom had offered very poor services, few options, and, virtually no accountability. However, when I visited Dr. Yabu, he took his time to explain his services, offer a competent examination, and, listen very intently to my concerns, while recommending many viable options. Dr. Yabu was clear, patient, concerned, and, quite professional. And, the consultation was free. But, most of all, Dr. Yabu was clearly interested in his potential dental patient, and, most supportive. My only regret is that he does not offer endodontal services, nor, accept HMO Dental Insurance Plans. In closing, I highly recommend this intelligent, informative, and, very supportive General Dentist.
