Refresh Dental

I use Dr. Chan from Refresh Dental. He is located on Telegraph Ave right across from Whole Foods. I found him after losing our corporate health plan due to retirement. My whole family has been happy with his services.

As an adult with DeltaCare (not taking my kid), I've had a terrible experience with Refresh Dental. Their dentists turn over every few months (I've seen someone different every time I've gone), they have a ridiculous amount of mandatory add on costs (mandatory $25 oral cancer screening EVERY time I go for a cleaning??Really??), and recently they told me I needed a filling replaced which was done right before I switched to them (3 years ago). My old dentist kindly saw me for a second opinion and was absolutely clear there was no problem. He suggested that dentists who get such low reimbursement (like DeltaCare dentists) have to come up with work they can charge you for since their reimbursement rates are so poor. I wouldn't recommend Refresh. The only thing they do really well is a very friendly receptionist who writes herself notes about you and asks friendly follow up questions so you feel like there is a "personal touch" ("How was that vacation you took right after we last saw you?", etc.)
