Curt L Brohard, DDS

I have been going to Dr. Brohard’s office my entire life. I don’t think I can say that about any other service provider! He and his office and dental hygienist staff are always so nice, helpful and encouraging for good dental health. Dr. Brohard is an avid hiker and photographer and so is always down to talk about his latest adventures, which is helpful when I can’t participate much in the conversation while my teeth are being cleaned. The house in Alameda is so homey and I always leave feeling very grateful for the welcoming environment. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

Dr. Brohard and his staff are wonderful. The receptionist is extremely friendly and makes you feel at home. The location of the office is an old house, which is a warm and welcoming way to have your teeth cleaned. He is very professional and has all of the state of the art equipment. I would highly recommend Dr. Brohard!

I loved my first visit with Dr. Brohard for a cleaning in June. He was extremely friendly and professional, as was his staff. His office is charming and I received great service. A month or so later, I received a bill for what my insurance had not covered and I called the office since I have never been charged for a cleaning before. I was informed that although the office takes my insurance (MetLife), they aren’t contracted with them. I had no idea. Beth was very kind in her explanation, and even offered to waive the $ 52 I owed. I unfortunately will have to find a contacted dentist for financial reasons, but I wish I didn’t have to because this office is great!

I am delighted my longtime friend, a prominent Oakland oral surgeon, recommended Dr. Brohard. I’d suddenly lost a very old filling between my two top front teeth. Could hardly believe it when I checked it in the mirror! Especially since my poor husband had just passed away, and I was having a memorial service for him shortly, lots of old friends and far-​away family.
Dr. Brohard not only worked me in immediately, but fixed it that same day — no novocaine needed. He also discovered a broken crown I’d been putting off. Got a new one made and installed it within days. Again, no novocaine needed. He’s amazingly precise, so I never experienced any pain. And, I’m nearly hypersensitive.
He also made me a replacement mouth guard from a softer plastic than my prior dentist. Actually comfortable.
I highly recommend him. Oh — staff were all great! And pricing was fair.

I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Brohard. He is everything one could want in a dentist, except that he doesn’t work for free and you may have to wait for an appointment.

I will only see another dentist when Dr Brohard retires. Great, thorough and friendly dentist. I have a work schedule that has caused conflicts with keeping appointments, but the staff has always been understanding and accommodating. I highly recommend Dr. Brohard

I have been going to Dr. Brohard since I was a kid. He and his staff have always been professional, courteous and have always given me great cleanings and fillings.

Great dentist! My wife and I are really happy with his work; in fact he’s corrected some problems that resulted from our previous dentist. His office is very comfortable and his staff are obviously very well trained and knowledgeable. Dr Brohard takes the time to explain everything that he sees, what needs to be done and why, and how he will approach long-​term care for my particular situation. Prices have always been very reasonable and explained up front.

I have been to a bad dentist in Alameda who basically glued my teeth together while doing a routine filling. Dr. Brohard fixed me all up and he also replaced a mercury type filling with nice new porcelain one. He has always done my cleanings himself, too which is so nice since he has the gentlest touch and is so professional. I am thankful to have found a really great dentist!

Never before have I been so relaxed at the dentist.
As first impressions go, this guy gets 10 stars out of 5 in my book.
I got his name from a coworker who takes his children there (I’m terrified of dentists so I figured anyone who is good with kids is good enough for me).
I sent an email asking some basic questions, and sure enough I had an email response so I made an appointment.
I faxed the forms –which I downloaded from their website– and by the time I got to see the doctor, they knew how much coverage I had, et cetera.
The doctor asked me some questions, then X-​rays were taken. Dr Brohard has a very welcoming and mellow style which put me at ease right away.
We came up with a plan of action –no other dentist has ever done that before-​. So now I am looking forward to the next visit in 4 weeks.
I’ll update after my next visit.

Several visits later, I am still very happy with this dentist. However, I must add a special mention to Peggy — the dental hygienist with the gentlest touch and the best bedside manner-​. Not only does she check to see if I am in pain or discomfort, but she also explains in plain language what she is doing. This young lady is the best!
If I had a dentist like doctor Brohard growing up I would not have avoided dental care for so long.
Excellent care, incredibly nice people!

Before I went to Dr. Brohard, I had no trust to American dentists because I had very negative experience with dentists who tried to rip me off. One of them is in San Ramon, who didn’t even want to try to replace a lost filling (he just said he needs to take a tooth out and put an implant, which of course would cost me $$$). So after visiting that place in San Ramon (that asian dude had such a terrible accent that his assistant had to translate everything for me). I asked around and one of my friends suggested Dr. Brohard. I made an appointment. When I came in he didn’t even ask me anything, didn’t take an x-​ray, just drilled/​cleaned a hole and put a new filling. All I had to do is to point to a problem area. I was so surprised that we were not talking about next time appointment or a big problem related to that tooth, etc. etc. Now I go only to him and would not go anywhere else.

My son and I have been going to this office for 10+ years. We’d still be there if we didn’t move out of state. People in Alameda tend to do that! The receptionists are friendly and professional and I’ve had no problems with appointments. I like Dr. Brohard’s casual manner and thoroughness. He’s a dedicated professional who asks questions, makes sure your questions are answered and you come away with the feeling you have been well taken care of. I didn’t care for a few of the dental hygene ppl I’ve had (mini– lectures and berating) hence the 4 stars.

4.5 star review.
Nice guy with a nice staff. Courtesy cards with courtesy day before phone calls. Wish they went to the web with some of the customer service, but maybe they are working on it.
Parking off-​street, which is a nice little bonus.
Small issues of working with Delta Dental, but who can really figure what the hell is at play between dentist and insurance company, but just pointing out that it is an issue.
Seems like if you have root canal or other major issue, he will just recommend you to someone (I had an abcess root canal, which was basically not fun).

Today I put up with a hellish commute all the way here to see the BEST dentist I’ve ever been to. I came here today for a permanent crown. Dr. Brohard was nice and friendly as always. Not to mention, a good dentist. If you live in Alameda or nearby and looking for a good dentist, go to him, you won’t be sorry.
His staff is very nice too. I just hope that I won’t have to be going back here for anything but a cleaning and check up in a LONG, LONG time. Better yet, never as I really hate going to the dentists and dealing with the traffic on the 880 during the afternoon!
