Bernal Dental Care - Pleasanton, California

I had an excellent experience with my dentist Dr. GAO and his team in my implant surgery. I couldn't be happier with the care I received in Bernal Dental. I was nervous about it but the team made me completely at ease. Dr. GAO explained every step of the procedure and made sure I understood everything. The procedure was virtually painless!

This Wednesday, I went in for my routine dental cleaning, which I do every three months. As always, Dr. Gao was incredibly thorough, professional, and patient. Every time I get treatment from him, I’m deeply moved by his dedication. He’s not just a doctor—he genuinely cares for his patients like family, taking the time to carefully look after every tooth.
Since I have gum recession and inflammation, Dr. Gao recommended that I come in for cleanings every three months. He also gave me clear instructions: brush my teeth after every meal, floss regularly, and use mouthwash twice a day. He even took the time to personally teach me the right way to brush. Thanks to his advice and care, my gum health has improved significantly.
He knows my teeth are sensitive during cleanings, so even with his busy schedule, he made sure to minimize my discomfort. This time, he only used the machine on the hard-to-reach lower front teeth, while carefully hand-cleaning the rest. His attention to detail and thoughtfulness made the whole experience feel so much more comfortable and reassuring.
Honestly, Dr. Gao is the most professional, meticulous, and responsible dentist I’ve ever met. Not only is he a great person, but his skills are top-notch. I truly appreciate everything he does!

Dr. Gao is highly skilled in his medical practice and has a kind and caring attitude toward his patients. I am very satisfied with every aspect of his service. His fees are also reasonable. I am grateful for Dr. Gao’s care and treatment of my teeth over the years. Our entire family has been visiting his clinic since it first opened, and we have always been pleased with his medical expertise and service. Thank you, Dr. Gao!

Don't go there. Dr. Gao has a unique style and you may not like that. His "regular clean" is really like the "polishing" at most places. it is clear he does not have the staff and can only get people with bad dental insurances (like mine HMO or white card).

I needed a tooth extraction for a wisdom tooth which I was nervous for and Dr. Gao made the process so easy and smooth. Walked in and walked out with great reassurance and no pain!

Like many, I had extreme dental phobia after a horrific experience at Western Dental. I knew how important dental care was and I am so fortunate to have found Dr. Gao.

I highly recommend Dr. Gao for anyone seeking exceptional dental care. Dr. Gao's approach to dentistry is marked by a remarkable "no pain" philosophy that prioritizes patient comfort. His gentle touch and skillful techniques ensure that procedures are virtually painless, making even the most anxious patients feel at ease. This compassionate approach is further supported by his impressive credentials, including both a Doctorate and a DDS, as well as multiple awards recognizing his excellence in the dental community.

Dr. Gao's office is a model of cleanliness and efficiency. The environment is meticulously maintained, creating a welcoming and hygienic space for every visit. Appointments are consistently punctual, reflecting the high level of organization and respect for patients' time. This attention to detail contributes to a smooth and stress-free experience, reinforcing the professionalism and dedication of Dr. Gao and his team.

Beyond his technical expertise, Dr. Gao's jovial nature and passion for dental care truly stand out. His enthusiasm for his work is evident in every interaction, making each visit not just a procedure but a positive experience. Dr. Gao’s genuine concern for his patients and his engaging personality ensure that you receive top-notch care in a friendly and supportive environment.

I had an extraction & bone graft yesterday at Bernal Dental with Dr. Gao. I was nervous for no reason. There was no pain at all. Today, still no pain. I am very pleased with the professionalism and kindness of all staff. Thank you!!🌻
