I have had extensive work done on my teeth since I lost 11 of them in a car accident in 1979. At that time it was discovered that I also had periodontal disease and needed extensive treatment. I moved to the Bay area in 1981 and after a number of years realized that the disease had continued unabated and I needed a series of root canals. I don't know exactly how I found Dr. Boriskin, but the point is that I found him. First, he understood my pain threshold which is zero, and my needle phobia (he covered my eyes with a kerchief so that I couldn't see the needle). For the first time in my life I looked forward to going to the dentist! I couldn't wait for my next appointment. Second, his staff is excellent, very pleasant and soothing. Third, even though I have moved to another state on the east coast and am under the care of another dentist, I will need to have a new bridge put in and i am thinking about literally flying to the bay area to have Dr. Boriskin do the procedure. He is excellent, excellent, excellent. His manner is reassuring, pleasant and he has a great sense of humor. Need I say more? If you need a really good dentist that is way ahead technologically and has great customer service, then he's your dentist!
