Dr. Sonja K. Garden, DDS

I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Garden and Brenda. I had a broken tooth and Dr. Garden was able to fill it instead of add a crown. She eliminated unnecessary cost, time, and procedures. Since I have a bit of a phobia, she was able to calm me and talk me through the entire process. That was the best experience with numbing my gums that I have ever had! She is patient and knowledgeable. The two provided a very professional experience! Plus, they have a great office to wait in and a terrific toy selection for kids!

Dr. Garden has been my dentist for years. Now I've moved down to San Jose, I still drive up for dental appointments with her and Brenda. She is very nice and makes very reasonable recommendations. On top of that, all the specialists that she referred me to were great as well.

When I moved to the east bay for school, I needed to find a new dentist. Dr. Garden was recommended to me by dozens of my classmates and friends, and I can confidently say she's fantastic. I recommend her to everyone I know. I graduated school a while ago and I still enjoy seeing her and Brenda for all my dental needs. The hours are flexible enough for working folks to be able to see the dentist and make it to work on time! They are so gentle that I routinely fall asleep while they are working in my mouth.

Exceptional Dental Care with Dr. Sonja Garden and Brenda! Dr. Sonja Garden is the best dentist I’ve ever had. Her meticulous approach to every procedure, including doing the cleanings herself, sets her apart from other dentists. She genuinely cares about delivering high-quality care and ensures every detail is attended to during your visit. A special shoutout to Brenda, her hardworking and friendly assistant, who is incredibly organized and helps keep me on top of my scheduling needs. She always makes the process seamless and goes out of her way to ensure I’m informed about any copays for upcoming procedures. Her kindness and professionalism make every visit even more pleasant. This duo provides outstanding dental care, and I wholeheartedly recommend their clinic to anyone in Berkeley or the Bay Area. Dr. Garden and Brenda truly set the standard for excellence in dentistry!

I have an appointment scheduled and it would be my first time going in to this office, but I think I’m going to cancel because I had a bad experience with the receptionist over the phone. She was impatient and didn’t seem to want to clearly confirm with me that they were in network for my insurance. This gave me a bad gut feeling, as I am learning that dentists can surprise you with large bills after saying they “take” your insurance, but aren’t actually in network. I have decided to cancel my appointment and continue my search for a new dentist because I don’t feel comfortable seeing a dentist who would employ someone who treats people harshly.
