    Dentist Referrals

    [ This is a compilation of the various requests and referrals for dentists over the years. It's in chronological order so the first page or 2 of posts are rather old, though they could still be relevant. Newer posts are near the end of the thread. Barry]


    I need to find a new dentist in the West Sonoma County Area. We live near Sebastopol. Please tell me why you feel your dentist is good . I need a Blue Cross dentist...but don't worry about that, just give me some names and I will check my Blue Cross list. [I know there is only one member in Sebastopol and that is E.S. Jang.]

    Re: Need Dentist Recommendations

    OK folks, here's the perenial search for a good dentist again. Last time this was requested there weren't any public refferals made.
    We can do better than that!

    This is especially important at this time since Jens Busk is turning over his practice to Dr. Sen(?) and is leaving the area. Has anyone been to this new dentist yet? The office will continue to be mercury free.

    How about other dentists? Got someone you particularly like? Why?

    Re: Need Dentist Recommendations

    I cannot yet recommend Dr. Norman Chau as I am in process of having my teeth pulled and a lower plate in their place. But I can say I know he accepts medicare and medical. He is located at 2921 Cleveland Avenue. in Santa Rosa. I have encountered 2 or 3 people who have said he is pretty good.

    I will know more when I get this procedure over with next week. hs

    Dr. Steven O'Neil in Occidental is really amazing. Accepts insurance. The very best dental care and concern you could imagine.

    Re: Need Dentist Recommendations:

    This may be a bit far for you folks out in west county, but the best dentist in Santa Rosa (in my humble opinion) is Dr. John Minye. He is kind and gentle and does not use Mercury fillings and takes different kinds of insurance and will take payments. He is out on Hwy 12 at 4372 Sonoma Highway. 539-8762 I have been going to him for years. He took over the practice when Dr. Liles passed away.
    Good luck, and don't forget to floss : )

    Dr. Eric Salmon, 14001 Old Cazadero Road, Guernewood Park, 869-2623. Our family dentist for several years, performed cleanings, fillings, pulling, etc., the best, most painless, kindest dentist ever for both my husband and me. We met him when he was affiliated with Russian River Health, but now he has his own practice. Worth a long drive to get to him!

    Re: **** Dentist Needed **** His Face Is Swelling As We Speak

    Hi Caretaker: Since January this year I have been going to a very good dentist located on Cleveland Ave. in Santa Rosa. I think it is the building next to State Farm Ave, off Cleveland. His name is Dr. Norman Chau, and I think he does just about everything. He also accepts medicade, or is it medical.

    I had my lower teeth pulled and he made two plates for me. A new upper plate and the first new lower plate. Dr. Chau has a great team of nurses, and from what I can see a very busy practice, which always says to me that doctor is a good one. I have been treated very well and like the doctor and staff very much.

    Dr. Chau's address is 2921 Cleveland Ave., his phone number is 707-544-4818. I have heard that if you have to pay yourself he is rather expensive.

    ****

    You might find other references if you go onto this site and in upper right hand corner you will find a SEARCH area. Type in dentists and see what you get.

    Wanted: Dentist

    I recently went to a dentist in Los Angeles who is very high tech. The novacaine shot was painless, and there was no pain when it was wearing off, because it was administered thru a computer that regulated the flow of novacaine into the gums. He also has a "drill" that doesn't drill -- it shoots out sand that blasts away the softer cavity and leaves the tooth intact. The x-ray machine was very low dose, and we went immediately to the computer where I looked at my teeth. Unfortunately, I found out I need 5 crowns! Does anyone have a high-tech dentist up here, or someone they'd recommend for other reasons? Or a good dentist in Mexico??? Thanks! Indigo

    Ah, the perennial dentist quest! This is more timely since Jens Busk, the former Wacco dentist, has left town :eek:!

    I have met the man who took over his practice, Silvano Senn (120 Pleasant Hill, Sebastopol, 823-9500). He is quite nice, and very committed to non toxic dentistry. I believe his wife also works in the office. I can't recommend him at this point, since he hasn't climbed into my mouth yet! Perhaps someone who has been treated by him can chime in here.

    I have just merged the prior requests & responses for dentists into this thread, so if you go to this post on the website, you'll see all of them.

    Please share your dental experiences, positive or negative, with your fellow Waccos!

    Re: Dentist Recommendations

    I was hesitant about going to see Dr. Jens Busk's replacement because I didn't believe Dr. Busk was replaceable as he was the most wonderful dentist I've seen to date. To my surprise Dr. Silvano Sens and I became good friends at first meeting! AND he is a highly conscious dentist with same values as Dr. Busk and is using the same high tech equipment he used. Silvano is a totally awesome, high spirited and kind man and hats off to Jens for finding a wonderful dentist to take over his highly sensitive and highly aware clientelle. I highly recommend Silvano (and his wife Toni Mann, DDS) to all you Wacco's!

    Re: Dentist Recommendations

    Melissa, The best dentist I have ever been to in Northern Calif (and I've been to A LOT) is Mary Ellen Chalmers in Santa Rosa. She is a very down to earth person and really cares about each of her patients. She is not a biological dentist per sey, yet she is not a narrow minded conservative. She is open and always learning new things, she uses some alternative methods and keeps up on the latest research. She is not greedy and I really trust her. She goes out of her way to help out with whatever you are dealing with, no matter how unusual. She is also accessible when you have concerns. AND she is an excellent technician. I have a great deal of respect for her.

    Recently when my husband had some intense work done she injected traumeel into the gum!

    Best of luck.

    Please consider Drs. Petersen on Guerneville Road in SR. They were my dentist, husband and wife, Jeff was the one I saw most often. What a great dentist and I am very, very picky. Now that I don't have dental insurance, I really miss him. Good luck.

    Re: Need Dentist Recommendations

    Dr. Hurley and his great staff in Santa Rosa-my whole family(grandmother, now deceased, parents, husband and my kids) has gone to him for many many years. They treat you like a real person and you rarely have to wait. Dr. Hurley has called me at home just to make sure all was well after some serious dental work.

    Re: Dentist Recommendations

    I would like to put in a good word for Karol Scheiner, who replaced Dr. McNeil in Forestville earlier this year. I've had a crown put in by her and she did an excellent job. The office staff is friendly as well.
    Karol's husband is an endodontist and does root canals in her office on Friday's, which is convenient for West County Residents. He did one for me a week ago without any ill effects.

    Dr. J Patrick Hurley on Montgomery Dr. in Santa Rosa. He's been our dentist for years. He and his wife work together and are the kindest people. Friendly office staff, convenient Saturday appts available, they accept many dental plans, plenty of parking, etc.

    I go to a holistic dentist in Tijuana. He is a fraction of the cost to go here and we have never had a problem with his work. If you need more than $1,000 worth of work it is worth the trip. don storm

    Re: Looking for a good holistic dentist

    OK, the Dentist question again - I've actually done some reseach mainly for dentists who are excellent, holistic, and safe with mercury removal. I've been meaning to post, and here's another chance.

    Dr. Granath in Santa Rosa is the best in the area. Both he and his office staff are very pleasant and knowledgeable. He takes every precaution with removing mercury safely. The contact there is 707-528-9411.

    Dr. Lipelt is local to Sebastopol. He acts as a consultant for proper mercury removal - assessing gums, prior root canal integrity, structure, fillings, bite, constitution. He knows a lot about mercury chelation and improving your kidney and liver systems prior to mercury removal. 707-829-2737

    Dr. Hyte is in Berkeley. The feedback I've received from referrals to him is that his manor may be a bit gruff, but he does excellent and safe mercury removal. He is the cheapest in the area. 510-845-6494

    Dr. Sylvano Senn in Sebastopol as an "anthrosophic and homeopathic" dentist (DDS) who does mercury amalgam filling removals. He took over the practice of an Icelandic dentist who returned to his homeland. His phone number is 707/823-9500.

    Dr. Senn seems to be a good dentist with two satisfied customers in this house, so far. He also is senstive to fear/apprehension about having dental work. Unfortunately, he does not do sedation dentistry or advanced types of anesthesia.
