Castro Valley Pediatric Dentistry

Fantastic experience: Dr. Lee was wonderful at engaging with my daughter and putting my mind at ease about a tooth we weren’t sure was fully out! My little one just loves going to the dentist! The playground, the snazzy glasses, and the token at the end are always a treat, too!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I enjoyed the service we received for our daughter since she was causing her pain during breastfeeding because of the lip tie. They were and to see us early the following day after scheduling and gave a lot of info on baby's health and development during the womb and after with or without the surgery. She seems to be feeding better and it's only been a day so good so far.

Negative experience: RUN from this Dentist. Today I went to get my daughter’s filling completed. While my daughter was laying prone in the chair Dr. Lesley Latham confronted me about my review. She also planned to drill and fill my daughter’s filling without anesthesia; when I questioned that plan, as I had never heard of drilling a tooth without anesthesia, she spoke sarcastically to me and belittled my concern. We got up and left due to her complete lack of professionalism. This dentist is flashy with their modern space and Disney movies playing, but I wish I had never brought my kids here. They have a very high turnover rate. They hire dentists fresh from residency and then they stay for 2-3 years and leave. Same with the orthodontist. My 12 year old is on her 4th dentist in the practice and now her current dentist is leaving. I wanted my kids to have a pediatric dentist that knew them and could track them through their childhood, but this practice is a revolving door of dentists and unfortunately it has led in gaps in care for my kids. The same thing happened on the orthodontic side, we initiated care with an orthodontist and then they left the practice. The person that replaced her was young with poor bedside manner. We would have never picked him for an orthodontic provider had we known our original provider was going to leave shortly after initiating care. I cannot recommend this place to anyone.

Fantastic experience: It is always a pleasure to come in for my kids check ups. Doctor Shervin and all of the staff are wonderful and welcoming. Everyone makes our kiddos experience stress free and calm.

Fantastic experience: I love this dental office.Never in my wildest imagination could I have thought my child would enjoy going to the dentist. The energy, the experience and the staff is 5 stars.

Fantastic experience: Great friendly staff! They made sure my toddlers were comfortable and took their time to ensure it was a good experience.

Fantastic experience: Love this dentist office! Always very nice when you walk in. They are very gentle & help you feel comfortable. They have a cute set up with a cute area to play for my little one while we wait. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Dr Robert’s is always great and always makes for a comfortable and easy experience for my son.

Fantastic experience: Always cheerful, knowledgeable, readily and clearly explains procedures, goals. Always willing to work with our schedule.

Fantastic experience: Wow!! I am so impressed with our experience. This was my 3 year old’s first dentist appointment and he is already begging to come back! They are able to relate to the kids making the experience fun! They were able to answer any question I had and even showed me tricks to help make teeth brushing even easier. I am so grateful I found them and have never wanted to go back to a dentist… until now! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I brought my 6m old daughter to get her lip, tongue in cheek ties released, and we really had a fantastic experience! Not only is my baby thriving and doing so much better after her procedure, but we also received fantastic care and instruction while we were there. I wish I could recall the name of the dark haired assistant who helped us, but she was so sweet and comforting to my baby girl. She hugged her and rocked her just like I would’ve, and that warmed my heart so much! Dr. Yazdi did an amazing job, and it was really easy to trust his expertise here. He is great at educating the parents of his patients, and he is extremely attentive to detail. I appreciated talking with him, and I felt extremely prepared and at ease with our treatment plan. This is a wonderful office, and I can tell that Dr. Yazdi is a great person who loves what he does. Thank you all so much!!

Negative experience: Not happy with the experience. I regret my decision doing the frenectomy for my son there. The whole practice looks like scam. They are too pushy, finding all kind of ties. And the ibroprofen for newborns is a little too much. My son was in a lot of pain after the procedure. If I knew this I would have do the frenectomy with scissors again.

Fantastic experience: Office staff were very cooperative and willing to adjust according to child’s needs. Also focused on the best treatment than just pushing to make the appointment. Both of my kids have gotten best treatments.

Fantastic experience: We had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Yazdi and his amazing team! From the very first phone call, the staff was friendly, professional, and made scheduling super easy. The office is beautiful and calming — such a great environment for families. Dr. Yazdi was incredible with our newborn son, who had a severe lip and tongue tie. He took his time explaining everything clearly and never made us feel rushed or pressured. The laser procedure took less than two minutes, and he guided us through every step, including recovery. What really stood out was how much he truly cares — Dr. Yazdi even called us personally to follow up and make sure we had all the information we needed. His compassion, professionalism, and love for what he does are so evident. We’re beyond grateful and highly recommend Dr. Yazdi and his staff to any family in need of exceptional pediatric dental care!

Fantastic experience: My kid loves Dr. Yazdi, she has a fun and patient with toddler.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Harrison is fantastic and we were sooo happy with our daughters appointment.

Fantastic experience: Called in for an emergency appointment, saw the same day with multiple options. The associate Dr. was very nice and gentle. The staff is very knowledgeable and sweet. And even though my so had a hard time (probably due to pain); he left in smiles. Which is all that I want for him. We will be returning in 6 months for our annual cleaning.

Fantastic experience: This is the only dentist office I’ve brought my children to and I feel lucky to have found a good place on my first try! Castro Valley Pediatric Dentistry is a great practice. The hygienists are kind and patient as are the dentists. My last visit was with my four year old daughter earlier this week. My daughter was not very enthusiastic about being at the dentist but Dr. Latham was very patient with her. She also patiently answered all of the questions I had to my satisfaction. We will likely continue treatment here until our children age out, no complaints!

Fantastic experience: My kid was happy after the visit and that is the most important review I could give.

Fantastic experience: Excellent! The dental hygienists and doctors explain to my kids what to expect and are super gentle and kind. One of my kids is very timid and anxious and they are wonderful with her. No judgments; just a lot of support and kindness!

Fantastic experience: Dr Yazdi was wonderful with our little baby boy! Our little guy had a lip and tongue tie that needed to be addressed. He was very kind and gentle with our 3 month old and explained everything really well! All of his staff was very kind and friendly as well. Definitely recommend this office for anyone with a need for frenectomy.

Fantastic experience: My kids always feel comfortable at this clinic. The dentist is patient, and takes the time to explain everything clearly. We are very happy with the care and highly recommend them to other families.

Fantastic experience: The Yazdi is very kind, caring, and knowledgeable. I am so very grateful he took care of my baby. She did not have any swelling or complications. Thank you so much, Dr. Yazdi!!!

Fantastic experience: Love this place! First time taking my kids to the Dentist and they made their experience awesome. The staff is great, very patient, accommodating and understanding.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Yazdi was great! My 3 yr olds loved the friendly staff and environment and had an excellent experience, so much so that they can't wait to go back to the dentist!

Fantastic experience: We brought our baby in for a frenectomy with Dr. Shervin Yazdi, and the experience could not have been better. From start to finish, the entire team was warm, professional, and welcoming. As new parents, we were very nervous, but Dr. Yazdi and his staff immediately put us at ease. Dr. Yazdi took the time to thoroughly explain everything, answered all of our questions, and never made us feel rushed or pressured into making decisions. His calm, caring approach made us feel completely comfortable and confident in the care our baby was receiving. The procedure itself was so quick! What stood out most was how genuinely compassionate and patient the entire team was. We left feeling reassured, supported, and so grateful that our baby was in the best hands. I can’t recommend Dr. Yazdi and his office enough. If you’re looking for a dentist who is not only highly skilled but also truly cares about families and their comfort, this is the place to go!

Fantastic experience: Excellent, the staff of this office is very friendly and the dentist and his assistants do a very good job and know how to treat children, thank you very much

Fantastic experience: Dr. Robert is a great doctor , he is caring about patient and follow up with them by phone to make sure that they r healthy , I never sow that before specifically from dentist , good luck Doctor

Fantastic experience: Amazing and patient staff. Our daughter was at ease and did so well for her appointment. I practically had to drag her out after her appointment was done-the arcade is a game changer. Now our son goes as well, everyone is so patient with him and once his appointment starts he is good. Both kids love going to the dentist.

Fantastic experience: This was my child’s first time at with this dentist and he had such a great experience. Dr Yodit was patient and gentle. The office was Taylor made for young kids and the game room definitely made my child want to stay longer. The receptionist and all the other staff were amazing, would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: My kiddos have been coming here for a couple years now, for both dental and orthodontic services, and we absolutely love this practice! Appointments that work with our schedule are easy to make, and we're always brought back on time. My kids like all of the staff they have interacted with here. They LOVE getting a game token to use after each appointment. We've had no issues with billing. And the doctors have been excellent at explaining treatment to us when it comes to the expander/braces my daughter has had. But we recently had our best experience to date, when my daughter had to have a tooth extracted due to overcrowding. We were all nervous about how it would go, but it went wonderfully! She said it was easy peasy, she didn't even feel it, and she hasn't experienced any pain (except for mild discomfort where they gave her the numbing shot in her gums). I am so so thankful that they could make such a potentially-traumatic procedure such a calm and easy one.

Fantastic experience: Staff and orthodontists are always kind and accommodating. It is always a wonderful experience when visiting the dentist.

Fantastic experience: Dr. rob was my kids’ primary dentist when we used to live in the area. He & the staff were amazing. Recently we were visiting friends for the weekend & my child tripped & chipped his front tooth. The staff was very accommodating & we saw Dr. Rob. Very informative & nice as I remembered. They took X-rays & told me what I needed to look out for. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I am a first time parent and started looking for a Dentist for my daughter once she turned 1. Castro Valley Pediatric Dentistry had amazing reviews. My partner took my daughter in for her first appointment and both really enjoyed the experience.

Fantastic experience: My pediatrician had misdiagnosed my daughter to be mild tongue tied and being a first time parent we believed her. Life started to get worse each passing week because my daughter would get hungry but hate to eat from the bottle. Only recently when we took her for an assessment to Dr Yazdi we learnt that she was 98% tongue tied, severely lip tied and right cheek tied. His thorough assessment explained what was going on. We got the release last week and are on the path to recovery. She is still averse to the bottle but we are remaining optimistic on its impact in the near term. As a private clinic, they provide top notch service and the follow ups were great / professional. Completely value for money and I feel that we were in the best possible hands possible

Fantastic experience: My son has had difficulty in the past with any sort of health care setting especially the dentist, he did great here! The staff was patient and he appreciated that they walked through each step with him that helped ease his anxiety.

Fantastic experience: I don’t ever remember going to this dentist being this great of an experience as a kid. Parking was easy, it’s in a lot. The staff did an incredible job explaining everything to my son prior to doing it (ex: X-rays, cleaning, suction). The dentist was nice and interactive. He was thorough answering my questions. At the end of the visit, the staff rewards the kids with a token for the game room. My son loves going to the dentist thanks to Castro Valley Pediatric Dentistry.

Fantastic experience: Dr Yazdi is clearly an expert on lip ties and tongue ties. We are very grateful for his help. He's very knowledgeable and very friendly. He explains everything in great detail and make sure that everybody understands prior to offering any procedure. Procedure itself was quick and very effective immediately. Highly recommend him

Fantastic experience: Had a really great first dental experience with my 3yr old. The facility is also a prime setup for kids - with a play area in the waiting room and a game room once the appointment is complete. Will definitely continue our services with the CV team. Thank you!

Negative experience: My son has had two cavity fillings from this dental office fall out. Most recently, when one fell out again, he was in significant pain—sensitive to water, air, and even breathing. I called to have it fixed urgently, but the office could only offer an appointment two days later. They failed to inform me that this visit would be for evaluation only, not treatment. I only found out the night before when they called to confirm, that they wouldn't be able to do treatment —unacceptable given my son's discomfort. When I asked for the next available treatment appointment, they said it would be another two weeks. I ended up calling a different dental office, where they saw my son and repaired the cavity the very next morning at 9 a.m. This experience reflects a lack of urgency, communication, and patient care—especially concerning for a child in pain.

Fantastic experience: I bring both my kids here. I have nothing but wonderful things to say. From the front office staff who are professional and kind, to the dental assistants who are always cheerful and attentive to the kids. I love there dentist Dr. Yazdi!! My kids feel very comfortable with him and he is always explaining things so well.

Fantastic experience: Friendly, kind, and very knowledgeable! We loved our first experience with Castro Valley Pediatric Dentistry! Our 1 year old had a blast.

Fantastic experience: Good afternoon Dr. Yazdi, Thanks again so much for your patience and understanding with Calvin’s first dentist visit. It’s a bit of a challenge getting through the whole process, but we’re definitely looking forward to a smoother appointment next time. Everyone was so welcoming, we really appreciate it. Best

Fantastic experience: Dr. Robert and his front and back office staff are all great. The office is clean and welcoming. Been patients at this office for a long time. Wish they treated adults too. I’ll be sad to leave once my last child turns 16 and graduates to an adult dentistry office.

Fantastic experience: I used to come here when I was younger and I love that this place is still here. My daughter loves coming and the staff are all so friendly! I recommend CVPD to everyone!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Lesley was great with my son! Also, Dani the dental hygienist, was great with my son as well! She made him comfortable for his first time going to the dentist! Reception was a little worrisome, since they didn’t know exactly what to charge me for the cleaning and she wasn’t all that friendly. We will be coming back because of Dr. Lesley. She was so good with my son, and is willing to help me with a follow up with his PCP. Thanks again Dr. Lesley!

Fantastic experience: We had such a great experience with Dr . Yazdi so thankful for all his help, he made us feel so sure of our decision and helped our son so much.

Fantastic experience: My kids have been going since their first teeth. The staff and drs are perfect for kids. They explain the tools and procedures, using words the kids can understand. My kids are always excited to go.

Fantastic experience: Amazing in every way!! We could not have been more pleased with the staff, the welcoming environment, and the care. 10 out of 5 stars.

Negative experience: I’m deeply disappointed by the treatment my son and I received at this office today, June 13, 2025. This appointment was made on May 22 as a follow-up to finish dental work for my son. When I booked, I clearly explained this to the receptionist. The soonest available time was nearly a month later — and we showed up five minutes early for our scheduled appointment. Upon arrival, the front desk informed us they were running behind and asked if we could wait an additional 10 minutes. We ended up waiting over 20 minutes. When I finally asked for an update, they said they were “cleaning up a chair.” Once my (understandably nervous) son was seated and the “sleepy jelly” numbing gel was applied, I tried to reassure him by saying at least he didn’t need a shot. That’s when the dentist abruptly stopped what she was doing and said, “Ummmm, that’s a bad word here,” referring to the word shot. She seemed more concerned with me using the “wrong” vocabulary than helping us feel at ease. I calmly suggested they post a sign about preferred language if it’s so critical — especially since parents are focused on soothing their children, not decoding unspoken office rules. Instead of showing empathy, the dentist became defensive and confrontational, even asking, “Is something wrong?” and sarcastically commenting on my energy when I told her I felt something was off. She mockingly said, “Ooooh, and what does it sayyyy? What’s wrong with my energy?” — a wildly inappropriate response while working in my child’s mouth. She continued repeating words like “bad” and “wrong,” which only heightened the discomfort. I told her that in my household — as a mom of five — we avoid using those words. At that point, both my son and I felt extremely uneasy, and my son asked to stop the procedure. Then, without any sense of accountability, she said, “I’m always happy not to go through with today. I’m okay with that,” just minutes into the appointment. To make matters worse, she later asked why we were scheduled with her and not our “regular dentist.” I told her I had no idea — I called to make a follow-up appointment and this is the provider we were scheduled with. This further added to the confusion and made us feel unwelcome, like we had made some kind of mistake just by showing up. This dentist’s attitude was cold, dismissive, and confrontational from the start. Rather than helping calm a nervous child, she escalated the situation with sarcasm and defensiveness. It’s clear that this office does not prioritize communication, professionalism, or compassion. We walked out — and we won’t be returning. P.S. I happened to record the visit for personal reference, which only confirmed how unsettling the interaction really was.

Fantastic experience: First time patients, and we had an amazing experience overall. Everyone is very friendly and they make you feel like home. The doctor was great at explaining any problems we encountered.

Fantastic experience: My kiddos love this place! It was a great place for my kids to go to the dentist for the 1st time. I am usually able to get them in at the same time which makes it so much easier!

Fantastic experience: Amazing stuff and patience with the kids, for us is the third year with this extraordinary team and doctors definitely I will recommend them!

Positive experience: Great place & everyone's super nice but doctor took almost 30 mins to see us after the assistant cleaned & flossed my son's teeth. Need to speed that up a bit!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Yazdi was very thorough and made us feel very comfortable. My son is healing wonderfully

Fantastic experience: We really appreciate Dr. Lesley; she is gentle, knowledge and provides great feedback and tips. Both, young, children have no reservations attending their appointments because of her calm approach. The staff at each point in the visit, from reminder calls to “close out,” are friendly. We really like this practice as a whole.

Fantastic experience: Easy to schedule appointment, easy to fill out medical form via text prior to the appointment. Friendly staff and doctor! Smooth and pleasant first dental visit for my 1-year-old.

Negative experience: I like the current dentist my kids are seeing & the office is very kid friendly. What I don't love is multiple emails and texts asking for reviews- it's cheap. I get at least 2 texts and 2 emails EVERY TIME WE COME. Don't be a pick me. We've been coming for years, if I wanted to add a review I WOULD. My only reason for not giving 4 or 5 stars is that I dislike being asked for reviews. Keep that in mind when reading reviews for this business; they're literally begging for them.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Yazdi and his staff were amazing very helpful quick procedure and process made it all so easy for baby and parents as well definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: I’ve had two babies get frenectomy procedures with Dr. Yazdi. The aftercare is more reasonable than it used to be, the procedure is very quick, and Dr is thorough in the examination and explanations. Baby’s healing was excellent each time and we appreciate the use of just topical numbing, not novicaine style numbing.

Fantastic experience: Really great environment for kids. My son gets his teeth cleaned and is so happy after. Staff are really nice and they’re very punctual.

Negative experience: Doctor almost removed a healthy tooth when the infection was in one next to it. Started drilling wrong tooth, injected more anesthesia and right after that said that she will not do anything today because the child is fussy. We went to few appointments with the same problem and each time paid 100$ and each time they sent us home with no solution. In a few months kid got visible signs of infection on the tooth he indicated in the first place. I went to a different doctor and he did root canal under the crown.

Fantastic experience: Great experience! Gave the perfect amount of information for me to feel like I was making an informed decision. Took time, showed compassion, and took special Care of my child for the procedure.

Fantastic experience: Great experience getting our 2 month olds lip-tie released. I like that the consult and procedure are done the same day should you choose to proceed. Dr. Y was extremely thorough and balanced in his approach to diagnosing and explaining the tie for our particular case to allow us to make an educated decision. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I don’t think any first time mom wants to hear her newborn needs a small procedure. My son was five weeks when we had a severe tongue and moderate lip tie released by Dr. Yazdi. The doctor was so incredibly knowledgeable kind and the procedure took less than two minutes the staff were all very nice and reassured us as needed. My son’s recovery has been awesome with very minimal pain. I highly recommend Dr. Yazdi

Fantastic experience: We had such a great experience with Dr. Yazdi and all of his staff! They were very accommodating and the doctor was very thorough when explaining the procedure and what his found. We took our 1 month old for a lip tie release. I was very nervous being she’s so little but they made sure she was also as comfortable as possible throughout the entire process. The procedure itself was super quick and they also provide you with a detailed after care plan. We live in the Central Valley but will gladly make the drive to Castro valley to ensure we have the best of the best!

Fantastic experience: First time parent taking her toddler to the dentist. The staff was very friendly, even when booking the appointment over the phone. Waiting area is kid friendly with a “play area”. They also have a mini arcade for after the visit and you’re given a token to use on the games. I speak only Spanish to my 2 year old and the assistant was bilingual and proceeded to talk to her in Spanish, I genuinely appreciate that. Another green flag is that they weren’t being pushy to certain treatments that I declined for now. I also appreciate the dentist for making sure I was using the right toothpaste and with certain ingredients, they were all very informative and respectful. They have gained a returning client for my toddler dentist needs. Thank you

Fantastic experience: The office is super kid friendly. They played tv above my daughter while she got her teeth cleaned. Also they gave her a coin to play in their own arcade when she was done. Staff was super friendly

Fantastic experience: Dr. Yadzi is top notch! We have driven 2 hours for appointments with him for 2 of our babies. I completely trust his opinion and it’s obvious he is continually educating himself in his field. Finding a trustworthy and experienced frenectomy provider is extremely hard. We were very impressed by him. It was absolutely worth the trip both times!

Fantastic experience: I am a first time parent and started looking for a Pediatric Dentist for my daughter once she turned 1.5yrs old. Castro Valley Pediatric Dentistry had great reviews and was minutes away from my house so I gave them a try and glad I did! Each time we are warmly greeted by the wonderful staff members. Dr. Lesley is so sweet and patient—I love the way she calmly interacts with my daughter each time we come for a check up. As a cherry on top, I love how the kids get a token at the end. My daughter is always excited to put it in the machine for a bouncy ball. :) Always a great experience—we’re looking forward to coming back in 6 months!

Fantastic experience: Switched to this dentist due to insurance change so this is the second pediatric dentist we’ve seen. Very nice space and great dentists too! We’ll be back with our oldest soon.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Leslie was so kind and patient with my daughter. Her voice is calming and she is very gentle as well. Thank you guys!

Fantastic experience: He was worth the drive. Very thorough and provided excellent post op care, including being available by phone/text/email with responses to questions. It was exactly what we needed to get through this!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Yazdi was a pleasure to work with. He was warm, informative, and honest about our daughter’s lip and tongue tie. He shared all of our options, the pros and cons of going through with a frenectomy, and upfront about post surgery care. He was professional and compassionate. I would highly recommend him as a pediatric dentist for anyone who needs one.

Fantastic experience: The drive for us was long but well worth it. Dr. Yazdi knows what he is doing, explained everything to us and made sure we knew what to do once we got home to ensure that our baby was not in pain and that the lip/tongue stayed as it should. We were in and out in less than the time they estimated for us. Overall, we could see why he was recommended by both our pediatrician and lactation nurse. Once the procedure was done our baby immediately began eating with more ease. Thank you Dr. Yazdi and staff!

Fantastic experience: Everyone here is so amazing! It was my son’s first dentist appointment (and he usually doesn’t do well in these situations), but he loved the place and asked when we were going back!

Fantastic experience: Brought my 2.5 week old to Dr. Yazdi after he came highly recommended by LCs and other mamas. My daughter had a severe upper lip tie and 2/3 tongue tie and he released them in seconds. It’s been 3 days now and my baby is recovering very well, it was a great experience with Dr. Yazdi and his staff and I would definitely recommend him to other mamas who think their baby might be tongue/lip tied.

Fantastic experience: Dr.Yazdi is an absolute professional. Very confident and not arrogant. He is very compassionate to his patients and he took the time to explain everything to my wife and I like he was a part of our family. We felt comfortable and confident with him. His staff were very awesome as well very friendly and helpful. If you are considering Dr.Yazdi, he comes HIGHLY recommended from our family. Thank you Dr.Yazdi and your staff.God bless you all.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Yazdi was very nice and knowledgeable about his lip tie and even found a tongue tie and cheek buckles that needed to be removed as well. He took his time to talk to us and went into detail about what he was gonna do and did not pressure us into anything.

Fantastic experience: Paola was a Great helper and was very much a part of my son’s first experience. Made everything a great first experience. Had fun and highly recommend this dental office as well.

Fantastic experience: I took my 3 kids here. They all loved their experience. Everyone was very nice and did an amazing job with the kids teeth. The kids received a token to play in the arcade. Will definitely continue to come here and recommend them to other friends.

Fantastic experience: Dr Yazdi was professional, personable, and very caring. Our son had a moderate tongue tie and lip tie, immediately after treatment, we saw a huge improvement in breastfeeding, and tongue mobility. Treatment itself was quick and efficient. Ty again Dr Yazdi!

Fantastic experience: I went there with my son 8 years old first time and it was great. The staff was very nice and kind to my son who was a little bit scared about everything. My son loved that there is small arcade eventhough he didn't have anything with the coin.

Fantastic experience: Took my 5 yo daughter. It was only her second time ever at the dentist. The office is truly set up for kids so much so that she didn’t want to leave because she wanted to stay and play in the lobby. The staff are friendly and great with kids. The dentist was thorough and explained treatment options well. I’ve already scheduled her next appointment. I’ve found our pediatric dentist.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Yazdi performed the lip and tongue tie release procedure on our son. He provided a thorough explanation of the procedure in a soft-spoken manner, ensuring our comfort. Dr. Yazdi also helped us understand whether the procedure was necessary. The procedure was quick, and despite initial reservations, we felt confident in our decision. The staff were friendly, accommodating, and the waiting room was peaceful. I strongly recommend this clinic - they're exceptional.

Fantastic experience: We have really enjoyed our experience here so far. The staff and Orthodontist are all very friendly and helpful and of course my son loves the arcade play at the end of each visit :)

Fantastic experience: It was my 22month olds 2nd visit to the dentist and she did not want to leave. From the beginning to the end everyone was very accommodating and patient with my toddler. From the inviting play structure and the dental staff and game room at the end. My daughter did not seem to mind being at the dentist. I was surprised at how well she did when a total stranger was able to get in her mouth and clean her teeth. My daughter even went home and wanted to brush her teeth. I look forward to the next visit.

Fantastic experience: I took my two week old son for a tongue and lip tie release. The office is very clean, nice, and comfortable. The assistant Carina was personable and informative and both she and Dr Yazdi put us at ease with the procedure. The procedure was very fast and my son was comfortable and didn’t even cry when it was over. We had a very good experience and I highly recommend Dr. Yazdi and his staff to take care of your child’s needs! 10/10!

Fantastic experience: I really appreciate their patience with my son. He is almost 2 and not a fan of dentists or doctors. The staff is very professional and welcoming, the dentist and assistants are quick and efficient. I didn’t feel judged while my son cried during the entire appointment, they were gentle enough & we were able to get his teeth brushed through the screaming and crying. He also got a coin for the arcade, which is always a win!. We’ve been here 2x and so far, it’s been a wonderful experience.

Negative experience: This reflects on their inflexible appointment system. Initially they gave us a 11 am appointment on Wednesday (short school day) saying that they will change us when there is a cancellation. Of course there was no cancellation and my middle schooler had to miss school for the 30 mins appointment. We couldn't reschedule due to time sensitivity of the treatment and as a result had to miss the school. It would be great if they could accommodate appointment scheduling for kids who have time sensitive treatments.

Fantastic experience: So glad our pediatrician recommended us to Dr Yazdi. Our baby was born with what we thought was just a small tongue tie and was having latching issues… he was so gassy and irritable. Dr. Yazdi’s staff got us in super quick thank goodness. During consultation, Dr found not just a tongue tie, but a lip and cheek tie as well. The staff was so sweet and informative. And doctor was very thorough with explaining everything. The very next day, my two week old infant was already doing better with nursing. So very thankful for Dr. Yazdi and his staff highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Castro Valley Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics really blew us away. All the staff was extremely nice and professional. The front desk people were super helpful in getting us booked and prepared for the consultation. Dr. Yazdi was incredible, very knowledgeable, and professional. My wife and I were stressed about the procedure because we had a few different pediatric/family doctors give us conflicting info. If your baby is in need of a frenectomy I highly recommend booking a consult with Dr. Yazdi. He's very capable and thorough. I trust his diagnosis above the general pediatric/family doctors and he also makes himself very available for his patients post op. Overall we are very happy with the level of service and care that we received.

Fantastic experience: Brought my 3yo to the dentist, anticipating my child to make it impossible for anything to happen. To my surprise, the care provided was exceptional! They were super flexible and very understanding with meeting the child where she were at, not pushing anything she wasn't yet ready for. She left there a happy camper.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Yazd was extremely thorough and really knows his stuff. This is an extremely hard thing as a parent, but they made it so easy with excellent staff and follow up care. We live far, and we’re recommended to come here and I am so glad we did.

Fantastic experience: Dr Yazdi and his staff came highly recommended by our pediatrician. From the first phone call to the moment we walked in the door to when we left Dr Yazdi and his staff were very informative and friendly. We did shop around to see if we might of had someone in network but everyone we called we just didnt compare to what Dr Yazdi and his staff offers. When we showed up we was very impressed that you don't have to sit in the waiting room, you get your own person waiting room where your family has privacy to tend to your child while you wait for your consultation. First you meet his assistant which is very knowledgeable and makes you feel at ease before you meet Doctor. Then you meet doctor and he goes over everything and takes photos and explains in depth of what is the issues and why the surgery is needed. At no point did we ever feel pressured or overwhelmed as they do provide a lot of information at once but they will explain every detail you don't understand. After we decided to go forward they provide you with a booklet of same information they just went over in case you need a refresher, along with the doctor cell phone number. When they took our 2 week old infant back my wife and i just started to have a conversation and they was returning with her. When they say 5 mins or less surgery they really mean it. We are really happy we went to Dr Yazdi and his staff and would highly recommend him for anyone with a lip or tongue ties as our newborn had.

Fantastic experience: Very good and gentle with my kids. Doctors really take their time to explain everything to my daughter, show her all tools being used to make it easy and pleased visit. Staff is very respectful and nice.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I took our daughter here for evaluation due to concern for lip and tongue ties and issues with pain during nursing that led to us having to move to bottle use. We were referred by our lactation consultant. I would 100% recommend Dr. Yadzi! From the moment we stepped into the office to when we left, it was a great experience. The office is beautiful and clean, which put me at ease right away. It wasn't busy; the atmosphere felt calm, and the front desk employee was kind and welcoming. The room where you do the evaluation felt like a little nursery and had the most comfortable rocking chair for me to be in with my daughter. Dr. Yadzi's bed-side manner is excellent. He is professional and kind. He completed the evaluation quickly and thoroughly reviewed all the information. We were expecting to have two revisions done, but after evaluation, he shared that he didn't feel there would be any benefit to revising her mild lip tie and recommended we proceed with the tongue only. That meant a lot to me that he was willing to say no. He could easily have said to do it and made another 650 dollars, since we had to pay out of pocket; this was a huge green flag for me. They gave us time to discuss everything privately. We did not feel pressured into anything. They adequately prepared us for the procedure, which we proceeded with the same day. Dad walked her over to the room, and she was away from me for probably less than 3 minutes. After procedure, they immediately walked her right back to my arms, lights were dimmed, and I was able to comfort her and give her a bottle. Our daughter calmed down immediately and shortly after fell asleep. They also took time to discuss my concerns about giving our two month old ibuprofen (prior to us agreeing to the procedure), and after agreeing it would be best, they administered the first dose before the procedure. Them hearing me out on my concerns about giving her the ibuprofen made me feel at ease, as she had never had any medication and it gave us time to monitor if she were to have a reaction. We chose to give her one more recommended dose at home and then have given the arnica for added pain relief about four times just to be safe. We chose not to add Tylenol, as she was not acting like she needed it. She really hasn't acted like she is in pain at all. I honestly could not have asked for a better experience. Now, we are only a few days post procedure so as to whether this will lead to my daughter nursing (the main reason we agreed to the procedure) I can't speak to that yet. She is used to the bottle now and is not yet willing to latch. However, I have noticed some small changes already. She is better able to keep her pacifier in her mouth longer, and she seems to be able to open her mouth wider when I have tried to get her to latch. Her tongue seems to have more range of motion as well. I think the hardest part of the whole experience has been the aftercare. My understanding is that Dr. Yadzi's aftercare is much less intensive than what some prescribe, basically a second-long tongue stretch four times a day, but since he doesn't want anything done until 24 hour post procedure, we didn't get to practice on our actual daughter until we were home on our own. They do show you how to do the stretch and check that we use adequate pressure in the office, but actually putting it into practice and getting our daughter to open her mouth has been difficult. But Dr. quickly responded to my voicemail asking for help and gave us some tips, so between his help and guidance from our lactation consultant, I think we are getting the hang of it. All that to say, I can't promise a revision will fix what you want it to, but if you are feeling that a revision is the best thing for your son or daughter, you couldn't go wrong moving forward with this wonderful dentist.

Fantastic experience: Always a great experience here!! In and out for appointments, great play structure in front for the short wait, gentle, thorough hygienists, gentle, knowledgeable dentist, fun play room with a token as a reward, easy/fast check out experience, great staff!

Fantastic experience: Drs. And Staff are very helpful and make my son and I feel very comfortable. They explain everything in detail and are very supportive of concerns. I would recommend this dentist office to anyone looking for a great children’s dentist.

Fantastic experience: This is the first dentist my twin boys ever went to and their team of dentist are wonderful. Along with all the staff. We moved out of the area but we commuted 45 mins to get there and continued to do so until they turned 18. Update: 9/12/24 The boys just turned 18 and had their last pediatric dentist appointment with 0 cavities. We will miss coming here but we highly recommended this office.
