Eri Hatta,DDS

So, I was chewing Bubble Yum until it decided to yank out my bridge which I had done a few years back from a cracked tooth. I immediately called Dr. Grant Tsuji’s office who is also my children’s dentist. But due to his unavailability, I was scheduled with Dr. Hatta. There were complications to my gums and my bridge were at odds. Dr. Hatta made my bridge fit like a pizzle piece and I have no swelling or pain at all. It’s like the incident never happened. I honestly have to say that she has been the most pleasant and reassuring dentist to date!

Dr Eri hatta is absolutely fantastic. I found her on Unilocal and it was my first time at their facility. From a very very friendly front office staff to the doc and everyone I came across made me very comfortable. I am moving from Berkeley hills dental and I think I made a good choice.
Dr Hatta informed me every step of the way what she was doing and recommended me the treatments I should have in the future, she also understood my situation and did not react like other dentist who just want to extract. And oh my god, she took so much time cleaning my teeth I was so so happy that I was getting a good treatment and I wasn’t rushed at all. I feel so good after the dental treatment and I willbe going back to her when needed next.
Try it for yourself. I highly recommend her and also 3 cheers to Suzy and other front desk staff for being so amazing in helping out.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Tsuji and Dr. Hatta since 2003 and there’s a reason for that! I admit I’m THE biggest wimp when it comes to going to the dentist, but they are two of the kindest people and gentlest, knowledgeable, caring and skilled dentists I’ve ever been to — and I’ve been to a lot!
I really can’t say enough good about them!!! So, I’ll just use this space to encourage you to see them and find out for yourself!

Friendly, thorough, professional, and all around great dentist.
I glad I found her via a friends reccomendation!

This is the one time I wish they had 6 stars!!! Dr. Hatta is AWESOME! She is the kind of person who will just tell you as it is — doesn’t hide anything, no pushy sales talk. If you need it, she’ll recommend it, if you don’t, she will definitely let you know. And she is super friendly and genuine! I also love how she kinda talks about what she’s doing so you’re not wondering what the heck is going on (not all the time but more than previous dentists I’ve had). And she did a great job cleaning out all my coffee stains! My teeth looked so white when she finished.
I went to a dentist before her and they told me I needed all this work done — 2 cavities and a deep cleaning. I went to Dr. Hatta and she told me she didn’t think I needed deep cleaning and I only had 1 cavity (the 2^nd one looked like one but was, in fact, not). Also, when I did have my cavity filled, she told me I was borderline in terms of whether or not I needed to numb my mouth and she was leaning more so on no. She said it was entirely up to me but she could always stop and give me the shot if I wanted it. I trusted her and decided not to and she was right, it was painless!
Also, I’ve dealt with so many offices who overcharge for dental work (despite what your insurance says or covers!). This place is honest! I believe Susie handles all the finance and I’ve had nothing but good experiences with her. They did overcharge me for my first visit (only because they thought I needed more work done than necessary and she was not there to revise the bill). However, as soon as I called in the next day (and without saying anything), Susie picked up and said «Oh, I think you overpaid…» and I didn’t have to pay at my next visit. Awesome!
This place is also super clean (I saw them scrubbing the floors), tons of magazines, and a major plus: parking in the back! All the assistants are also very friendly. I am so relieved to find this place and I am never going anywhere else!

I’ve been going to Family Dentistry for years. Drs. Tsuji and Hatta are a great team. Both are great at explaining procedures and make you feel comfortable. Especially Dr. Hatta. She has to be the nicest dentist EVER!

See below review… I feel the same way…
Best dentist EVER!

Like almost everyone else, I hate going to the dentist (they get kind of mad when you accidentally bite them). But on the recommendation of another dentist-​hating friend, I decided to try Family Dentistry in Alameda. I started off with Dr. Grant Tsuji, who is great, but eventually my primary dentist became Dr. Eri Hatta.
Dr. Hatta is amazing! She’s very gentle and sweet and knows how to give just the right amount of tut-​tutting when I fail to floss my teeth frequently enough.
I’m not allowed to move from the Bay Area, just because I think I would have a very hard time finding a dentist whom I won’t bite by accident. I’ve never bitten Dr. Hatta.
