I avoided the dentist for several years but knew I needed to go. I'm so glad I chose Bay Area Modern Dentistry. This felt like a boutique dental experience. Everyone is extremely friendly, accommodated some scheduling issues I had and they're extremely efficient. I especially appreciated that the doctor avoided expensive procedures where he could but also took a more time consuming approach to a filling to preserve the health of my tooth. They are extremely honest and do what's best for the patient.

(Translated by Google) Hello!! I was going to say that they are one of the best dentists I have ever had, since in Spain they did not want to fill my tooth anywhere, since they said that being so small it would fall out, Dr. Bushati and his team They did it to me in a second and now I've been doing it for 5 years. A month ago he filed my tooth to align it and it was amazing! I highly recommend him, his work is excellent. Thank you!! I will be back soon! (Original) Hola!! Me pasaba a decir que son de los mejores dentistas que he tenido, ya que en Espana no quisieron hacerme un filling del diente en ningun sitio, ya que decian que al ser tan pequeno se me iba a caer, el Dr. Bushati y su equipo me lo hicieron en un segundo y actualmente llevo 5 anos con ello. Hace un mes me limo el diente para alinearlo y quedo increible! Lo recomiendo mucho, su trabajo es excelente. Gracias!! Volvere pronto!

(Translated by Google) I totally recommend this place! I come from Spain to treat myself with Dr. Bushati. The procedure was super fast, zero pain and above all super kind to me, you feel very well accompanied at all times. A pleasure to have been in the hands of your entire team. (Original) Recomiendo totalmente este lugar! Vengo desde Espana para tratarme con el Dr. Bushati. El procedimiento fue super rapido, cero doloroso y sobretodo super amables conmigo, te sientes muy bien acompanada en todo momento. Un placer haber estado en manos de todo su equipo.

I've been to Bay Area Modern Dentistry four times since the first of the year...and every visit has been enjoyable! For me to use the words 'enjoyable' and 'dentist' in the same sentence in unheard of! I've spent a lifetime of Dentistry Fear...but that's no longer the case! It starts with Dr. Bushati...but is evidenced by the care of each of his employees. If I could, I'd give Bay Area Modern Dentistry with Six Stars!

Best dental office in the area. From the moment you call to make an appointment to when you arrive and are greeted with smilling faces, to when you are taken to your detal chair, my experience has been top notch. So much positive energy. Dr. Bushati is a great dentist with amazing staff, I can't rave enough about it.

After going to Dr. Spadafora for years, I was skeptical when she sold the business to Dr. Bushati. Now, I am not only a believer, but I referred my best friend to him as well. He had a hard time getting past the very feminine, uncomfortable waiting room, and wondered where a male patient could wait, ha ha Ha ! We both had great experiences with the hygienist Nicole and Dr. Bushati. His staff from The first phone call to the exit were all excellent! When people love their job, it's a reflection of the boss. As I was waiting, I overheard a patient say he had been with him for six years in a different practice, and was so glad he was independent now. That was a vote of confidence!

I have yet to find a Dentist that I wanted to stay with until I walked through the doors at Bay Area Modern Dentistry. They have a modern waiting room, that is not just monotonous, which is very welcoming and pleasant to wait in. The staff up front were happy, all had smiles on their faces, and happy to assist . Jennifer was my Hygienist and I cannot give her enough praise for her patience and her ability to make me feel comfortable as she worked around sensitive teeth. Dr. Bushati was wonderful to talk to. He was very informative and listened to all of my concerns, and was able to address what we would do next. As soon as I left my appointment, I was sending friends and familiy my experience and recommending they look here for the Dental needs. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.
