I was so worry for my teeth issues, and so scary whenever coming to dentist. My experiences in the past created my fear until I came to this place. Dr Chang is absolutely friendly, and gentle. I was comfortable and felt safe to have service in here. He tried his best to help, and figure out the plans for me perfectly. I wish I knew this place sooner.

Dr Chang is very professional, kind and a great dentist. I am very happy as his patient. In addition, he was kind enough to make time and see my mother, who was visiting from out of town, with a dental emergency. I highly recommend Alameda Dental Center.

I have had great experiences with Dr Chang- he is professional, personable, and extremely knowledgeable. He is a great local Alameda dentist, and his office is centrally located with easy parking.

Friendly and efficient dental and support staff. I was apprehensive about changing to a new dentist when mine retired, but Dr. Chang is fantastic! I went for my normal cleaning which was quick and thorough. While I was there (by the way) I think I need a new night guard to protect me from grinding my teeth. Dr. Chang, using the new digital device or taking the measurements instead of the goopy tray, ordered a new one for me that day. I picked it up a couple of weeks later when my husband went for his cleaning and a filling. Dr. Zhang completed the customization for the night guard while my husband was having his appointment with Dr. Chang. Kelly, the ever effervescent Dental Assistant, kept the office moving right along with support for both Dr. Zhang and Dr. Chang. I can't imagine the transition without the continuity Kelly brings. Keiko, a fresh new face at the front desk, is friendly and welcoming and clearly explained billing and insurance procedures while setting up the next appointment. I also greatly appreciate all the COVID-safe procedures the office maintains.

I have had fantastic experiences with Dr. Chang at Alameda Dental Center. Every visit is top notch, and I felt safe with their Covid-19 protocols in place. Professional and friendly staff and a highly knowledgeable doctor make certain I'm getting the best care that I can. Highly recommend a visit to Alameda Dental Center.

Dr. Chang is funny, patient, and reliable to all my dental needs over the past 5 years. He has helped change my attitude on my oral health dramatically and solved so many of my teeth issues! I cannot recommend him enough!
