Bay Area House Call Dentists

Pretty good service with a few glitches.
Firstly, it’s a bit of a problem that they –must– charge $ 475-​$ 575 no matter what kind of treatment is needed. Essentially, they argue that they must provide a full exam and x-​rays (which they did not provide me), even if you need a different specific service.
I feel they could modify this policy slightly, such that they had a basic visit fee (say, $ 275.00) modified by needed services.
I realize that travel and home care is going to be more expensive, but they could improve their service and their client satisfaction by having a slightly more flexible system which I suspect would still prove highly profitable.
1. Could have been more pro-​active in resolving possible problems prior to the appt. through better pre-​appointment diagnostics. I requested some diagnostic advice, and didn’t receive proper advice –in other words, I scheduled an appointment for care I did not require –but was told (prior to their visit) by his office that this was a reasonable treatment option given my complaint.
2. Very expensive, but professional care, in-​home, is a commodity.
Dr. Blende is, in my opinion, an expert dentist. However, in my case, he did not take the time to sufficiently diagnose the problem (which, at the price, he should have — it would have taken perhaps 5 minutes); in fact, other than x-​rays of 2 teeth on my lower jaw, there were no diagnostics.
I feel he could have checked the upper teeth, since it is well-​known that dental pain on one side of the mouth can be caused by teeth on the opposite vertical plane. Also, had he done so, he would have discovered that I am also experiencing pain in one or more teeth on that side, above the problem are, which may be involved in my particular situation.

Had the best experience with Dr. Elacio and his assistant Carla.
My mom is a hospice patient. Over the weekend she started complaining about a toothache. My brother called around and got hold of Bay Area House Call Dentists… They were at my moms within hours!!!
Talk about bedside manners… these two were the best… mom ended up having a wisdom tooth extracted… they had all the best equipment ready for any job… thier patience with my mom was outstanding. She has alzheimers so she doesnt remember things… they continuosly reassured not only her but my brother and I as well.
X-​rays were taken… we were able to sit and discuss a treatment plan for her future care.
Dr. Elacio and Carla… we cant thank you enough! We actually plan on talking with the hospice company mom is on and refer you to other patients… your the BEST!

Available for House Calls all over the Bay Area; this group is amazing.
We called them when my mother-​in-​law, who is terminal, bed-​ridden and living with us, broke her tooth. Dr. Itani and his wonderful assistant came promptly to repair the tooth. They took xrays and provided all the expertise that would have been delivered in the office, except it was in our home! They recommended treatment options, worked with us to come up with the best plan and then did the required tooth extraction on the spot.
We plan to use their hygenist for regular cleanings and dental maintenance for my mother-​in-​law. It is just so convenient!
