Darnell Robert Jr, DDS

I didn’t have a good experience here at all. The hygienist (Kathy?) was WAY too rough when she did the cleaning and at one point almost punched me in the face when she lost control of the dental floss. She also talked, talked, TALKED during the whole cleaning about things I didn’t want to discuss. You may want to check in with your audience rather than just blathering away to your heart’s content. You could also just SHUT UP.
It’s the first time I’ve had my teeth cleaned and I felt I had to ENDURE a cleaning. Several times I asked her to be more gentle but she was just clueless. I was tempted to actually get out of the chair and leave but my insurance is about to change and I just wanted to have my teeth cleaned.
I wasn’t much more impressed with Dr. Darnell. He didn’t even look at my teeth. I’ve never had that happen at an exam before. Usually the dentist does part of the exam even if it’s at the very end. My teeth are healthy and I don’t have issues but this still surprised me.
I had also asked if he could resize a night guard I had just gotten at another dentist. He was very reluctant to help but eager to sell me a new one for $ 200. Thanks a lot.
I won’t be returning here.

l went to Dr. Charnley in Hayward for a root canal and asked for a referral for a very good, gentle dentist. The first dentist they mentioned was Dr. Darnell. I have been going to Dr. Darnell for about 15 years now and he is the best dentist l have ever dealt with. He does great work and is so gentle I’ve actually fallen asleep during a procedure. His hygienists are also great and also very gentle. It is a very relaxed and calm atmosphere in his office.

Best dentist I have ever been to. I have needed a lot of work on my mouth and he was able to do it all, with the exception of the root canal (He sent me to an amazing guy in Hayward)
I even called at 4:40 on a Thursday afternoon (He is closed on Friday) because of a partial cap that fell out leaving big hole in my tooth. I was able to get in that day and get it fixed before the long weekend!
He is very nice, friendly, and does great work.

The best dentist i have ever had. i am a client until he retires. I don’t have insurance but I pay out of pocket for him because he is that good! Very professional and trustworthy… so are all his hygenists!
