Robert H Waldman, DDS

I like to know what is involved in a procedure at the dentist. From a cleaning to a crown I want to know what is going on. Dr. Waldman knows that of me and explains everything he is doing. Every cleaning is different and it is amazing how much information Dr. Waldman provides regarding the health of my teeth. Just like changing the oil in your car on a schedule, having Dr. Waldman (and his staff) maintain my dental health is a must. I am fortunate to have good teeth, I put full faith in Dr. Waldman’s dental knowledge and service. If you are looking for a gentle dentist he should fit the bill, if you are a patient of his already, you are as lucky as I am to have him as your dentist.

Dr. Waldman and his staff are wonderful! They are kind, thorough, and always extremely attentive to any concerns I have. I would highly recommend Dr. Waldman to anyone who is looking for a dentist. His thoughtful response and kind words make going to the dentist an easy and enjoyable experience. He has gone above and beyond in helping me with my dental needs including really sensitive teeth, gum recession and fillings. I would highly, highly recommend him and his amazing staff!

Well well well… I have to let Dr Waldman know that not only his patient love him but his wonderful staffs’ love him too! Thank you Boss for being so kind, gentle and thoughtful. Past five years of my dental hygiene journey has been very rewarding! THANK YOU for being who you are…

Dr. Waldman is a throwback to yesteryear! Although his methods are modern, his style and practice is classic. We’ve been seeing him for almost 5 years and never have been disappointed. I don’t know many dentist that will call you the next day after a visit, just to check to see how you’re doing. That’s just a sample of his approach to dentistry. He does great work and listens to your concerns. Go see him and you won’t be disappointed.

Dr. Waldman has exactly what I was looking for in a dental practice. Cleanliness, professionalism, understanding and education is what my family and I appreciate most from Dr. Waldman and his staff. It is nerve wracking trying to find a new dentist after moving to the East Bay where I had a family dentist my entire life in the North Bay. Dr. Waldman and his staff are very friendly and accommodating which helped put my mind at ease. They took their time for an initial consultation and we’re able to show me photos of problem areas where they recommended work.
I’ve gone in for a deep cleaning and have had a couple fillings since and am quite pleased with the service. Their office and chairs are very comfortable. They offer high quality headphones to help the time pass during dental cleaning.
They offer nice details like lip moisturizer during cleaning and a hot towel afterward. They’ve been real good at applying the right amount of anesthetic, whether topical or injection, where I hardly notice work is being done on my mouth.
Scheduling actual dental work has been pretty easy and we get in without having to wait too long. A great place that I definitely recommend to others as well.

I met Dr. Waldman and his staff this afternoon and had a wonderful experience. He is VERY thorough and went over everything in great detail. I felt comfortable and taken care of. The office staff was very kind and helpful. I love that they have Saturday and late evening appointments every so often so I can get in while my husband is off

3 years ago, I went to him on an emergency. I had a triple root canal that was failing. He assured me the tooth could be saved and referred me to an specialist, who broke my tooth upward and had to pull it. They still charged me for the root canal so Dr. Waldman waved his fee, which was nice. But now I’ve lost a molar and the specialist still charged me. Prior to that, I had another tooth that had a root canal at Western Dental. They injected too much solution into my gums a paralyzed part of my mouth. I told Dr. Waldman about it and how they offered a free crown but I was terrified to go back to them. I also told him my dental insurance was coming to an end and would not be able to let him take care of it. 3 years later, I have another emergency. I played phone tag with them as they were busy. Finally, his receptionist tells me that he’s referring me to Western Dental and admits that because I hadn’t been there for maintenance or recommended treatments, that they did not want to see me. It took them three weeks to tell me they did not want my business. I lost my temper and told them off. They called me right back to tell me off. When the receptionist wasn’t getting anywhere with me, Dr. Waldman, who had been listening in, started to yell at me. I tried to tell them that they could have told me three weeks ago and that referring me to Western Dental was insane and insensitive. I have never heard of a dentist turning down a patient in pain because they did not keep regular appointments. He just talked right over me, like a child. So be it. They could have saved me 3 weeks of pain and to referring back to the worst dental experience of my life with one of the worst clinics, Western Dental was wrong. Then again, Dr. Waldman assured me my molar could be saved and had me pay 900.00 in the end by having it pulled after it was broken. Maybe Western Dental is not the worst. At least they tried to fix the problem at no cost to me. If they were so busy to see me, then what was he doing listening to his receptionist yell at a patient and taking the time to argue with me while I’m in pain and obviously frustrated at their hand? What kind of a doctor does that to a human being? I had a reason to be upset. They couldn’t let it go. They had to call me back to argue. Maybe I should have sued him when he lost me my tooth. What is the dental malpractice statute anyway?

i am terrified of the dentist and I feel safe with Dr. Waldman. He’s honest. He cares and he wont push you into a procedure. If he can’t do it he knows someone awesome who can. I would recommend him with the highest rating to anyone in need of a GREAT!!! dentist.

I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Waldman. Wait. Do DDS go by Dr too? think. think. Yes, I think they do. ANYWAY…
Dr. Waldman is my 92 year old Granny’s DDS. As you might gather, at 92, teeth things come up. Things crack. Get lost in food. Mistaken for a bone. Stuff like that. Well she has had to come in more than usual in the past 6 months. On two diff occasions, she has shared with me some of Dr. Waldman’s random acts of kindness. Once he offered to come in on a Sunday to take care of her. And more recently he had to pull one of her teeth and she told me he called her that night around 8pm to make sure she was okay!
Some might say this is what they are supposed to do – whats the big deal?! Well, what I have found in my past 20 years of DDS hell, it’s not the case anymore. Bedside manner, or whatever you chose to call it has become a thing of the past.
So, when someone takes the time to demonstrate this type of courteousness in 2009, I appreciate it and I know my Granny Goose does too!
Thanks DOC and staff!
