I am visiting Oakland from abroad and had an inlay break. Although there was no immediate pain, there was a sizeable hole in the tooth and I was worried about the integrity of the rest of the tooth/inlay until the end of my holiday.
My brother, who lives in the area and has been a patient of Dr. Bernstein's for 15 years called him and asked if he could see me as an emergency. This was on a Saturday and Dr. Bernstein was away on a weekend holiday with his family. He said he could see me Sunday night after he returned home.
I hate having to go to dentists and unfortunately my teeth have always been a weakness of mine. Having to go to a new dentist in a city I don't live in is my idea of the perfect nightmare. Even with my brother's assurances, I was not happy about having to see him and I was even seriously considering calling and cancelling.
His offices are very comfortable and comforting and his manner is gracious and reassuring. During the proceedure he was attentive to my nervousness and explained everything that he was about to do with humour and calm and THERE WAS NO PAIN! In short, he was brilliant and I wish he lived in London. I cannot reccomend him highly enough.
