For more than 20 years Dr. Albright and her team have kept my teeth in great condition. Her hygienists are skilled and friendly, so there’s minimum discomfort but my teeth are always sparkling after the visit. The team makes good recommendations and referrals, but they don’t try to push unnecessary treatments. When the doctor recommends something there’s a medical reason behind it. Over the years Dr. Albright has invested in updated equipment to stay current. After all these years Dr. Albright still personally examines my teeth every visit. If you’re looking for a kind and friendly, highly qualified and experienced modern dentist, you can’t go wrong with Dr. Albright.

Dr. Albright's office is amazing. I was so nervous and anxious about having a tooth filled when I arrived, but they coached me through my anxiety and explained their action which enabled me to relax and my filling was very comfortable. I explained that I had a fear of needles and everyone was so supportive. Also a previous experience had me paranoid of the drilling that was necessary. However by telling me in advance what to expect - the vibration from the drilling - it made me even more comfortable. The entire office is wonderful.

I just had a filling done at Dr. Albright's office today and I have to say it was the easiest, most comfortable experience at a dentist I've ever had. Dr. Albright and everyone working in the office are super professional and caring about every aspect of my visit. I highly recommend you entrust your dental work with this office of awesome and skilled professionals!

Best dentist in Oakland. Dr. Sharon Albright is wonderful. She takes the time to really listen to you and understand any dental issues you have, as well as to understand any comfort or cosmetic issues you wish to address. I felt at ease talking to her about everything. Kelly did an amazing job on my dental cleaning, and was very gentle and communicative throughout the process.
My time spent at Dr. Albright's office was the best experience I've ever had at a dental office. If you are searching for a new dentist, just stop searching and go to Dr. Albright's office.

I absolutely HATE going to the dentist! But I decided it's time and I really wanted to improve my smile. With that being said, I had read all the reviews and decided to book an appointment at Dr. Albright's office. I, of course, was super nervous. How many cavities do I have? Do I have gum disease? All these crazy questions went through my head.
I have to say Dr. Albright is professional, thorough, and I honestly felt pretty at ease the whole time. My dental hygienist explained everything that she was doing and went through the images and then proceeded to ask if I had any questions. They were really great! Looking forward to getting my perfect smile with the help of these amazing professionals. :

This is a great group of folks. Dr Albright and the team are super communicative. Dr Albright will talk you through treatment options, why they're making certain recommendations, and answer your questions honestly. Everyone really prioritizes making dentistry as much of a calming and pleasant experience as possible. There are plants in the office, gentle music playing, you can look out the big windows to distract yourself, and the art is pretty cool.
They offer accommodations for folks with sensitivities including noise canceling headphones and blankets. They're great about checking in about your comfort level and how you're feeling.

This office was very professional and very patient. I visited for a routine check up, but was attempting to multi-task while at the dentist office. Everyone was so patient, even though I slowed up the process a little, because I was doing something else. The office was clean, and it was observed that they took all the precautions. The dentist did not try to up sale on products and services. The only drawback was that I am used to seeing my X-rays as the dentist discusses them, and that did not happen, I also did not ask once she started speaking.

Just severed my relationship with this dentist. Her customer service rep was extremely rude, and inconsiderate to me after being a patient here for the last 2 years. BIGGEST COMPLAINT and the reason why I severed this relationship: When a dentist can not accommodate MY time, MY schedule, AND I have to be ON their TIME, THEIR SCHEDULE.not a good fit for me!
I am the customer/client/patient and I should be able to tell YOU when it is convenient for me to come in - YOU can not make me CATER TO your needs. I am the PAYING customer! I will never FLOAT on a dentist/doctor/professionals schedule they/she/he will have to FLOAT on my schedule or we will never do any business! KFox *****You just lost a great influencer for your business. I had been 'BRAGGING' about your state-of-art office, but nothing is worse than bad customer service, and a dissatisfied consumer.******

The office is run very professionally and safely. My temperature was taken, and I had to answer several COVID-19 questions before entering. My family dentist of 40+ years recently retired, and a dear friend recommended Dr. Albright. The staff is very efficient and welcoming, and made me feel very comfortable and at ease. Thanks!

Dr Albrights team are so welcoming and accommodating, and Dr Albright is excellent! She took the time to review my chart and medical history, and made sure that I was comfortable every step of the way. I never thought a dental visit could be enjoyable, but it was. If you're at all uncomfortable about dental work this is the place to go!

My wife and I have seen Dr. Albright for years now! Her and her staff have always been super professional and efficient. I'm a baby about dental work and Dr. Albright is awesome, she's super understanding and I have had zero complaints, my anxiety has even gotten better! Since Covid, the staff is super cautious. They have all of the standard precautions and then some. I feel very safe.

Had the best experience here at this office. Dr. Albright and the staff were phenomenal! So friendly and welcoming, can't rave enough about to great experience I had here. Let's just be honest no one likes going to the dentist and has a great experience lol but I did and I didn't even feel like I was at the dentist.

I felt so cared for by Dr Albright and her team. They all went the extra step to make me feel comfortable and explain what they were doing and why. I've never had such a thorough dental exam. I am thankful to have found a new dentist who I feel so confident in. Boba, my hygienist was also gentle and careful as she worked around my orthodontic hardware. Tia took my xrays and she was so careful with what is usually a somewhat painful and tedious process. Unfortunately I have cavity but I am confident that it will be fixed nicely in a couple weeks.

I'm actually really sad I had to write this updated review. I came here to get bonding for two of my teeth when I had braces. One was the little cute one I had in my previous review and another was one for teeth #13. I ended up getting a veneer for my little cute tooth somewhere else. Tooth #13 the dentists here recommended I just get a bond even though my tooth was already decaying because they weren't sure why I had a little tooth above tooth #13.
Fast forward years later and a few dentists after, I go to my new dentist. None of the previous dentists were able to tell me what this little tooth was above tooth #13 and told me to just leave it alone above a tooth that I said bothered me A LOT. My new dentist tells me it's a little fragment which they can remove, but tooth #13 is a cavity and now it's gotten so deep they aren't sure if I can get a root canal.
It just makes me sad because I clearly told the dentists here this tooth was bothering me years ago and it looks decayed and felt irritated, but they didn't want to do much with it. and couldn't even catch it early on and if they did, did not tell me it was a cavity. Then puts a bonding/filling over it. Anyways, I'm sure they're great dentists and all and hopefully they're X-ray machines are updated (had to pay them to get X-rays done on tooth #13 and they still didn't know about the little extra fragment and catch the cavity?!). Sad, disappointed but I'm glad I found a dentist that can help me. This is just based on my experience and I hope no one else has to go through this. I also wish I had read all the 1-2 star reviews.

From the get go- I have had a great experience. Setting up the appointment was a breeze. I really like that I was able to fill out paperwork ahead of time as well as having the office set up an online account. I like that you get text reminders as well as calls. The YouTube video was helpful on what to expect under new guidance that offices must follow due to Covid.
They have new procedures in place for dealing with COVID once you enter the office (after being screened). The office staff is super nice and make you feel at ease. Claudia, Tia and boba were great. I like Dr. Albright's bedside manner. She is very knowledgeable and explains things in a way you understand exactly what is going on.

Dr. Albright and her assistant Melissa keep my teeth and smile on point. Very patient and gets the job done right. Dr. Albright does not cut corners or over book appointment no waiting more than 5 mins for your schedule appointment. I so grateful to have her my in dentistry life. The dentist office is not a pleaser place when you know you have to get work done. Dr. Albright makes sure I am comfortable she is patient. I highly recommend that check her business she does not charge you for work you don't need. She's passionate about her work.

I cannot recommend this dental office enough. Everyone who works in the office is friendly, knowledgable, and helpful. The staff is mostly (all?) women, and the vibe is one of complete competence and efficiency. Dr. Albright's office has fixed multiple fillings for me that other dentists have done not such a great job on, and I am always in way better shape than when I started.
The staff who clean / examine / XRay your teeth do it as pleasantly as can be, and Dr. Albright doesn't ever seem to be in a rush when she works on you. Everyone takes time to answer questions. The office is clean and comfortable, with a great music/headset situation so you don't have to listen to drilling and scraping. Billing issues are easy, and they are super nice if you have an issue. Break up with your dentist and go to Dr. Albright!

Dr Albright and her staff are so kind. Two friends recommended her to me. I have some complex needs that make accessing basic dental care difficult. Dentists literally get mad at me for coming to their office, even if I disclose my disability challenges on the phone. I am 32 years old and haven't been able to find a dentist since I was a teenager.
I showed up at Dr Albright's office in incredible dental pain. Dr Albright and every staff person went above and beyond. We are still working out the pain problem but I'm so thankful. I felt like she saw my humanity and treated me with a lot of dignity. She is super focused on her craft and does her best for her patients. I hope good things come to her and her wonderful staff.

Each time I visit Dr. Albright's office, it is with anticipation and not dread, which is a new experience for me:-. It is a wonderful dental office with great staff and a commitment to making sure that you receive the best care possible. Dr. Albright and her staff are the best at creating a warm inviting environment for all of your dental needs.
I hum along to music as my teeth are being cleaned. I may even fall asleep, I am totally relaxed and leave feeling that my teeth are clean and in good shape. I cannot recommend Dr. Albright's office enough. Make your appointment and start experiencing relaxation at your dental office!

They changed their status from in-network to out of network WITHOUT notifying me. They said they sent emails but I could not find it in my mailbox. As a result, I paid around 50 dollars for copay. Also my original appointment was at Feb 5 but when I arrived they told me the appointment has to be rescheduled WITHOUT any explanation. They said they called me in the morning but I did not take the phone call.
But I was taking class in the morning and there was no way for me to pick up a phone call. They do have my email but did not send an email notification. Such an unpleasant experience. I would not come here any more. But just want to let people know.
