Having realized my strengths, passion, and sincere desire, I concluded that the field of dentistry was my true calling. I received my Doctoral Degree from one of only three Ivy League dental schools in the country - Columbia University in New York City. I continued my studies by completing a residency in an Advanced Education in General and Cosmetic Dentistry (AEGD) program also at Columbia University. Soon after, I moved back to the Bay Area where I practiced as an associate dentist for several years until I was able to take over as owner of Horizons Dental in September 2010.
I continue to advance myself in my profession by being active in the American Dental Association, California Dental Association, and the Contra Costa Dental Society. With a special interest in Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry, I am also an active member of the Partnership Implant Study group of Walnut Creek.

Dr Dale is a good dentist, but his wife Ivy the officer manager is unprofessional and downright rude. They pad the bill for treatment. I called my dental carrier and was told the same crown with the same material would be a quarter of the price that they quoted me. Also, Ivy has hung up on me several times, once when I called about a treatment and had a couple of questions. She told me, she didn't have time to talk about this and hung up.She also hung up on me because I wanted to ask Dr. Dale a question about my treatment. She cancelled a teeth cleaning the day before, and had to wait 4 months to get a cleaning. It just goes on and on. I don't trust them at all. So unprofessional and nasty too.

I wish I had switched to Horizons Dental sooner. Great attention and service. You know you are in good hands when you learn things about your bone structure that you had no clue about. Dr. Dale has a keen eye for detail!

Great Dentist and Great Staff. If you are looking for a Dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Dale. I have been a patient for several years. He takes his time, and makes sure you are comfortable during the whole visit.

Dr. Dale and his friendly and professional staff have provided outstanding dentistry services to my wife and me for years. Dr. Dale is an artist in every sense of the word. My front teeth are beautiful thanks to his talent. I have recommended Horizons Dental to my friends and will continue to do so. I had my teeth cleaned yesterday in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic. Needless to say I was a bit nervous but the entire process from front desk to teeth care was handled perfectly. Temperature check, covid screening questions, hand washing, and extensive PPE were all there. I felt safer there than I have in my own backyard with my grandkids.

I had a dental emergency during the Covid-19 lockdown. I texted Dr. Dale and he called me back within minutes and sent me to the endodontist who performed a root canal and put on a temporary crown. My pain was gone. I got an appointment for installation of the permanent crown just a day after the state lifted the closure of dental offices. Dr. Dale is a caring and very capable dentist. I highly recommend him.

I look forward to going back. The staff is friendly, and the Dentist makes himself available. This has been a rarity for me in my previous Dentist's office. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have any electric toothbrushes for sale, which speaks to an issue with whoever is doing inventory. I also mentioned my desire for a night guard and all they did was check if my insurance covered it. Never went over how it works, or any other details about the process. Overall some small nitpicks in an otherwise enjoyable dental experience.
