Why Patients’ Love Bancroft Dental Care...

“My dental exam/cleaning with Dr. Chang and staff at Bancroft Dental Care was fantastic! I am not one that likes to go to the dentist but yesterday I had the best experience possible.”
—Cindy D, Oakland

“My appointment was early in the morning. I was greeted by the ladies behind the front desk with smiles and waves. I sat down in their comfortable waiting room, and before I could pick up a magazine, Dr. Tero's assistant, Deniece, came out to escort me to my chair. She put me at ease and answered questions about my case with patience and professionalism. But the star of the show was Dr. Tero. She is the best dentist I have ever had, kind and painless.”
