Josh Berd, DDS

Dr Josh and his team are wonderful! They are incredibly polite, caring, and friendly. They make you feel totally comfortable, even if you dont like going to the dentist! I tell all my friends to go to Dr Josh when they switch dentists.

Josh Berd and crew are awesome! I recently switched over to his office and have had my first and second appointment… onto cavity number 2 :(bummer, but Josh takes a lot of time with new patients and he and his awesomely friendly team care about your teeth! They don’t try to sell you on things you don’t need. Plus, their new patient questionnaire that allows you to choose free spirit with a smiley face for your martial status is so SF and so great! LOL
If you’re looking for a new dentist I definitely recommend checking this office out!

I saw Dr. Berd in January and had a great experience which has reinstated the possibility for me that a trip to the dentist can be pleasant. (After enduring a very rough cleaning back in 2014 which left my mouth in pain for almost a month after my visit, I was terrified for the first time in my life to see a dentist so I put it off for over a year. I was disgruntled about having to find a new dentist who I could trust and who wouldn’t rip my mouth apart or offer services I knew I didn’t need.) Anyway… I found Josh Berd on Unilocal and liked what I read on his website so I gave him a shot.
The office was clean, their machinery looked modern and his staff was very professional and knowledgable. I had an exam, cleaning and x-​rays done. All procedures were performed in a timely manner and were painless! Considering it had been over a year since my last visit, I was amazed at how gentle they were able to be while still getting all the gunk off my teeth. :) He was very patient with me, answered all my questions, and Josh was just a very relaxed guy.
Bonus: I had some unrelated questions for Josh Berd about working with dentists in the graphic design field and he was very elegant about taking a few extra minutes to talk to me about design and gave me some terrific advice. He wasn’t rushed at all and even seemed to enjoy the extra chat.
The staff at the front desk went above and beyond to explain the work I needed to have done and what to look for when purchasing or choosing my dental plan for the remaining work.
The bill may have been a little higher than what other places charge for the same services, but I 100% feel the overall experience was worth it. I only have one set of teeth and I am happy to pay a little more for work by a dentist who I trust, works efficiently, and who does an outstanding job on multiple levels. I’ll be back in a few months Josh!

Dr. Berd has been my dentist for 4 – 5 years since I moved to SF. He is very professional general and has great technology which makes his visits hassle free. I highly recommend him and his sister who are now partners she has taken care of my son and is very good with kids.
Their office is clean and quiet and I never have to wait long.

I’ve only gone to his practice once but was very pleased. I didn’t wait long at all. Everyone was very friendly and compassionate.
HE IS HONEST! This is the best quality a dentist can have. Over the years I have had some bad experiences with dishonest dentists trying to sell me unnecessary procedures and fill my mouth with holes and silver. The last dentist I went to before Dr. Berd tried to tell me that I needed 7 fillings. I knew this was not true because I had been to another dentist less than a year prior and she only recommended 1 filling. Now I never trust dentists so if I am not in any kind of pain I always ask for some kind of proof that I need the procedures. Dr. Berd was happy to and was able to show me proof in the X-​rays and able to physically show me the cavities that he recommended that I have filled. He did not try to sell me on 7 cavities.

Like most people, I don’t enjoy visiting the dentist, but have found Dr. Berd and his staff to be great.
In the past 2 years I’ve probably been there 2 – 3 times, for cleanings as well as for a filling (or two). The front desk staff has consistently been friendly and helpful; the dental hygienists did a good job of cleaning my teeth, and Dr. Berd was thorough when he comes in to do the exam. He did my fillings which went well. He also did the initial cleaning when I was a new patient, which I thought was a nice personal welcome to his practice.
His office is clean and the rooms are comfortable. He seems to care about his patients and the staff seem happy to be there, which is all I really care about in a dentist.

I hadn’t been to dentist in 5+ years, I’m glad I decided to start going again and that I chose Dr. Berd.
After our initial patient exam we scheduled a few more sessions and dare I say, I’m Excited. Dr. Berd does a phenomenal job both in technical aspects of his work as well as socially making you feel comfortable. I never felt like I was being nagged about bad habits, nor did I have that awkward experience where most dentists try to talk to you with three things in your mouth and you have no means to reply.
Instead i felt like I was having focused work being done, and after we wrapped up he did a great job explaining what next steps should be taken and why, it felt like geeking out with a dentist nerd.

I originally went to Dr. Berd because my previous dentist quickly became somebody whose opinions I no longer trusted. I came to him with a rather distrustful attitude and skepticism. But he laid all my concerns to rest! He addressed all of my concerns, was extremely patient and helpful and also gave me the best dental cleaning I have ever had. Usually, with any cleanings I have had in the past, my gums would be sore for a week and this time around, they weren’t sore at all! He also helped fit me for a nightguard and fitted me properly. It was an easy, pleasant experience. Anybody looking for a new dentist should consider Dr. Berd.

Dr. Berd was a great local find. Right on Geary he is convenient to anyone in the Richmond. My visits have been quick and painless and he and his staff are very knowledgable and friendly.

My fiancé refereed me. I have been to several Dentists. I can say Dr Berg and staff are far superior to any others I have visited. The Dr. is fast, efficient. I am looking forward to my next appointment as I felt comfortable and it is apparent Dr. Berg cares for professional standards his staff and us, the clients.
Thank you Dr Berg. and staff!

I’ve been going to Dr. Berd for about 3 years now, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. I’ve had terrible dentists for most of my adult life, and I so stoked that I finally have a dentist that doesn’t make me dread going! Dr. Berd (and his awesome staff) are super friendly, professional, and extremely talented at what they do. I always enjoy catching up with him as well.
I had a wisdom tooth removed about a year ago, a process that thoroughly freaked me out. The entire process, from consultation to recover check up was probably the most painless dental experience I’ve had. Both locations are super convenient to my work and home, which is a nice bonus considering I’d make the trek anywhere in town to not hate going to the dentist. Definitely recommend!

Dr. Berd is a great dentist! I had neglected my dental care for a number of years and was feeling very self conscious about my teeth. No worries! Dr. Berd and his fantastic staff developed a care plan that fixed my broken teeth and put me on a positive track again. I am no longer self conscious about my teeth. Thank you Dr. Berd and your amazing staff too!

I have been going to Dr Berd for my dental work for the past two years and he does a great job!

I’ve been going to Dr. Berd for a year since I switched jobs and dental insurances (that my old dentist does not take :() The office is very clean and modern. They ask you what music you want to listen to while they clean your teeth and give you sunglasses to protect your eyes from the spray. I’ve also had a crown put in by Dr. Berd — so far, so good. The process was quick, the payment details — clear.
Sometimes you have to wait some time before your scheduled appointment, and it’s impossible to schedule an appointment that’s not several months in advance, they’re very busy.

Dr Berd and his team are very professional and personable, and the best dentist I’ve had in a long time. I enjoy being able to come by every 6 months and have them remember personal details about my last visit.
I’ve only been to the Spear St location, but it’s very clean and comfortable, and scheduling appointments is very quick and easy.
Thanks Dr Berd and Team!

Dr. Berd and his team are awesome! I’ve been seeing him since 2011 and I’ve referred a number of people and all have had a great experience. When I was first looking for a new dentist I was extremely skeptical as I had gone through a couple of other dentists who seemed to tell me everything was wrong with my mouth. Dr. Berd isn’t like that. What I really like about him is that he’s conservative in his recommendations. Not the nickle-​and-​dime type that many dentists are. He tells you what you need done and why and how long you can wait it out if you need to financially. He’s also very engaging and likes to get to know his patients, which I appreciate. There is nothing worse that a doctor with bad bedside manner.
Dr. Berd has done a lot of work for me — several cavities, my wisdom teeth and most recently a crown. All have gone smoothly. I waited 1.5 years between appointments once (I know, horrible!), and one of his hygienists spent a ton of extra time with me making sure my teeth were completely clean. No up-​charge.
Couple of other cool things: You can make appointments online and he’s open some Saturdays, which is awesome for those that can’t get away during work. He has two offices which makes seeing him even more convenient. And his office is pretty high tech. Oh and you get to wear sunglasses instead of goggles when he’s working on you :)
Key takeaway: He’s a great dentist, has a great team and you will always know what you’re going to be billed for ahead of time, no surprises! I highly recommend seeing Dr. Berd!

Unilocal for the win! Loved the online scheduling and filling out of the patient questionnaire on the iPad. Dr. Berd is thorough and friendly and his team is super welcoming and good at what they do. Very comfortable and easy going environment. I finally found a dentist I like. Will definitely keep visiting regularly :)

I found Dr Berd by looking through dentists covered by my company’s insurance, what an excellent surprise.
Dr Berd was incredibly accommodating, knowledgeable, kind, and I could always make an appointment (online!) when I needed, they offer early morning for busy working folks and even during lunch.
Both facilities are very nice, clean, and comfortable.
Dr Berd went over and above on many occasions, the dental hygienists were all very kind, and the one filling I had was a complete breeze.
Now to find a dentist at least half as good after moving to ny!!!

Dr. Berd is the best dentist I’ve ever had. I’ve given him plenty of work to do over the years, and everything was done beautifully. I’ve recommended many of my friends to him, and they all love him. He takes the time to explain everything to you before and during the procedures. He is as gentle as can be. He responds to emails and phone calls very quickly. The staff there is amazing.
I recently moved to Sacramento, but he is such a good dentist I am coming back to him for all my dental work. He’s that good.
Highly recommend.

Dr. Berd and his team are the reason I believe in dentists once again. Generally I had a more than terrible experience with my previous visits to numerous dentists, which did a poor job and my teeth health suffered terribly from that. The good news is I found Dr. Berd and now he’s treating all my poorly done root canals, crowns and previous fillings. Yep, he’s redoing almost everything in my mouth.
I am very happy whit the progress so far!
Some reasons why I really like dr. Josh:
He is very professional, explains all procedures in advance and is extremely patient. He took a complete digital radiograph pictures of my teeth and examined them on a 24″ monitor so that I could see as well what the problems were (which he explained to me in details).
After a major step they take a digital radiograph (which means less exposure and much more details) to verify that everything is ok. If not, the go and fix it.
Dr. Berd is very skilled and patient when working on your teeth, which I really admire him for. I can tell that he is really a perfectionist and loves what he does :)
On the regular things as customer service, payment and general atmosphere in the clinic (the one on Geary Blvd) — everything is top-​notch. You’ll never feel any pain, they play your favorite music and everybody is extremely nice.
I highly recommend Dr. Josh Berd to any that is in doubt.
