Dodie
I've been going to Hillcrest and watched a generation of dentists retire and new ones come in. It's always a professional (but fun, even though you're at the dentist!) atmosphere there and I have recommended them to many, many friends. The work and advice that the dentists and hygienists give are always appreciated. And did I mention the view from the chairs? Does any dentists' office have a better view?
Gary
Cheryl Dr Strong, and Lorie r the Bestes.??
Lynne
Excellent care! The entire staff is friendly and really care about my dental care. I'm so thankful for this group!!!
Sue
I have been with Hillcrest Dental for coming up 30 years. I always feel taken care of and special. I have extremely sensitive teeth which I’m sure makes cleaning them very difficult. However, Sheryl does an excellent job with care and compassion. Dr. Leah is not only professional,thorough and knowledgeable but also takes time to be kind and personable . The office staff are warm and friendly even when they are busy answering phones and assisting patients and doctors. They make sure you are greeted when you arrive and set you up for your next appointment before you leave. I have recommended Hillcrest Dental to many people over the years and still do. Thank you.
Johnna
Hillcrest providers care & work with me for the best care. They partner with me to keep & maintain a healthy mouth & teeth through @ least to my age of 100+ years young. Extremely caring & compassionate. With gratitude.

I have been trusting my teeth to Hillcrest Dental for literally decades. Through changes of insurance, changes in my gum line. Every single person is kind and professional. It really makes you feel good to be greeted by name at the door and offered a blanket for longer visits. I cannot imagine going anywhere else, ever.
Jeanette

My first time with Carla and I hope it will not be the last time. She did an excellent job and checked on my comfort through out the cleaning. I also thought that she is respectable and kind. As you can see, I really liked Carla. Hillcrest Dental consistently employs grade A staff. Thank you for the excellent dental service that is provided.

Over the years I have been to several dentists. Generally my experiences have been good. Since going to Hillcrest some years ago, my experience has been outstanding! My treatments there are above what I experienced in the past. They have kept pace with the most current proven technology. Their staff is efficient and caring. They have been able to function wonderfully in this new COVID world. I couldn't be more pleased.

Had my teeth cleaned by Cheryl. She always a super job. Didn’t need additional dental work. Dr. Griffiths checked my teeth and found everything to be good. Always appreciate his input.

Thank you for wonderful service!
Lawrence
Chelsea was friendly and did a great job.
Vreni Schnirmanb
I was treated with care and concern from the receptionist to the dental assistant and the dentist. The dentist explained in detail the dental procedure she was going to use to temporarily rebuilding the broken tooth. The dentist did a great job to accomplish that goal, the new tooth looks natural just like before the mishap of the tooth.
Brown
I've been going to Hillcrest Dental for almost a year now, and I can't say enough good things about this practice. I'm a senior citizen and they treat me like a queen. In my life I've been to many dentists and have a bit of anxiety when having work done. This is completely gone now. Dr. Leah and her team are experts in dental care and also very responsive to my needs. I couldn't ask for more. Lots of laughter and comradery in their practice and, and most importantly for me, compassionate care. Thank you all!
I am one of those people who enjoys going to the dentist and I’ve been a client of Hillcrest through two generations! They always provide the best service with kindness and professionalism.

My sister, the patient, has dementia. The staff was very helpful and accommodating in providing care for her. I really appreciated the experience.

It's Always a pleasure to visit Hillcrest Dental for my checkups and dental maintenance. That may sound strange, but the staff is ALWAYS friendly and helpful. I feel confident that I am getting the best possible Dental care at Hillcrest Dental.
Jeanette St.george
Hillcrest Dental has always had highly qualified, good natured professional staff. I and my family have been very satisfied with all services since the early 1980's. I trust Hillcrest Dental for my dental care.
As a new patient, I had a wonderful experience for my first appointment. The women who helped with making my appointment and staying in touch before I arrived were so helpful and friendly and followed up when needed. The Dentist's Assistant was professional and informative and what a plus that the dentist herself does your cleaning. I also needed to order a night guard, and the 3D technology they use for this is incredible. One last plus - the exam rooms have great Petaluma views! Thank you for a great experience!
Marilyn Lee

As always you provide the best care for my dental health!!!

Recently had my teeth cleaned by Diane. She did a wonderful job and was very thorough. I appreciated her being double masked and also wearing a face shield to protect me during these times of the pandemic, even though it is wanning. Love this dental practice and Dr. Griffith. Everyone is cheerful and accommodating and they provide excellent care.
Bonnie
Fast, efficient. Very nice and professional staff.
I had my first cleaning with Cheryl. She’s terrific!! Informative, made helpful suggestions and friendly. After Lisa, I wanted to find a steady replacement. Mission accomplished!

I and my family has been going to Hillcrest for a couple of decades and none of us has a single cavity! Well, they can't control that, but everything else they can - everyone is very nice and all professional, and always on time... very recommended.
Carolyn Hruschka
As a non-dental, healthcare provider, I am constantly impressed by this office. I do not live in Petaluma & I would still drive here for the professional/friendly staff & the skill of their providers. Well done Hillcrest Dental!!!

They were great to get me in on the same day of my emergency. Friendly, professional and great dentists Thank you
Super dentists and assistants. Clean and with the most up to date equipment! I’m not good with a bunch of stuff in my mouth so they used a 3-D x-ray machine to do my full set of x-rays. Easy Peasy!
Karen
I have been coming to Hillcrest for years now, but had slipped getting in due to COVID. The quality of care I receive has and is always top notch, but when I came back I have to admit I was a little reserved because so many of the people I was familiar with were no longer there. Having been both a dental assistant and hygienist, I can be pretty particular. To my welcome surprise, the entire staff made me feel so at home. Dr. Strong and Laura are so personable and easy to talk with. Glad to be back again and thank you for always providing the best of care!
Patty

Wonderful group of professionals and so very friendly! ??????????

Very thorough and enjoyable experience for me and my wife. Maybe I should mention I am a dentist.
Shelby
I've been a patient at Hillcrest dental since I was a little girl. While I've lived all over the world, and have tried practices all over the country, I always return back to Hillcrest. Every person who works there is kind, patient, and is expertly skilled.
Andrew Smith
The experience has been excellent. Since 1995 I have gone to your practice. I have had good, great and excellent experience there. Cheryl is pleasant, caring , funny, encouraging and gentle. The doctor was professional and gentle.
Connie
No one has ever said that going to the dentist is loads of fun... but hey, these folks do an excellent job of making sure that the going-to-the-dentist experience is the best that it can be - by taking good care of their patients and their dental health with kindness, smiles, and professionalism. I've been coming here for many years and always receive the most up-to-date care provided by professionals who obviously know their stuff. I highly recommend this practice to all.
Mike
The hygienist assigned to me (Angela) was awesome, knowledgeable and efficient, and Dr. Leah was her usual thorough, personable self!! Hillcrest Dental has a wonderful, very caring staff, all of whom are totally professional and quite accommodating! They have looked after me and my family for years and always make dental visits as much "fun" as such visits can be.
Cyndi
I took my elderly mother with Dementia to see Dr. Strong & her team recently. The Doctor and staff were compassionate, patient and went out of their way to make sure my Mother was comfortable. The office is very professional, very clean and they give excellent care across the board. Dr. Leah and the other doctors are excellent too!
Very friendly, professional staff
Jimmy
I’m very pleased with how I’m treated each time I come in, with respect and concern for my well being. I recommend your practice any chance I get!

Lisa
Guerneville
Everyone is top notch, professional and good at what they do
Tina was gentle but thorough with my teeth cleaning. My mouth never felt so clean!
Very caring and friendly staff. Love Dr. Strong!
Dr. Griffith and assistant, Elisha, attended to me immediately and were as always very friendly and personable. Dr. Griffith adjusted/finished the broken piece of my lower partial. After a recent root canal it was fitting tightly, and a piece of a clasp broke when I took it out. My visit was quick and there was no charge.
Beautiful and efficient office, nice people. Excellent result with fixing my chipped tooth.
CATHY
Always happy with my dental/cleaning visits. Thanks
The staff is always professional and welcoming. They do a great job of explaining what they are going to do before they do it. I am a repeat customer of the group.
Vivienne
Petaluma , CA
I’m a new patient and am in awe of the extremely thorough and pleasant first exam I had with Dr Leah. I also saw Tina as hygienist who was very gentle and gave my teeth the best cleaning ever. Everyone in this office is so very pleasant. I feel lucky to have found this practice.
I'm a new patient and couldn't be happier with the care I'm receiving! I needed to have a tooth looked at as it was aching, and I got in within 20 minutes. The staff and Dr. Strong were fabulous! As time goes by I'm sure my experiences will only get better!
Always polite and welcoming. I have been seeing the same hygienist for some time now, and ask for her by name as she knows my mouth! The front desk staff is efficient and pleasant. Nice, clean environment and Covid19 protocols to keep us all healthy. Well done Hillcrest.
Marty

This was the first time I left a dentist office happy and content without pain. Yet, you were thorough. Wow! You guys are good!
Been a patient for over forty years, always a pleasure.
Kathie
Everyone is very professional and so kind. I have great confidence in Dr. Lea and her team. First time seeing Tina, Dental Hygienist. She was so gentle and yet did a thorough job of cleaning. Thank you Hillcrest for years of care for my family!

Rocky

Dentist and staff were very friendly and professional throughout my recent visit. I felt they really cared about my comfort and wellbeing.
Anne
Great cleaning and very friendly. Front desk staff are always so nice, too.
The Hillcrest folks have always taken great care of me. While I'm not a fan of going to the dentist, I'm much more willing to come see these ladies and gents! I'm one of those guys who has very little tolerance for gum aches and nerve pain. But the dental hygenists here really take care to address my issues. The ladies at reception are very polite, and they make a point to call to inform you of any change like having a different hygenist work on you. That's very much appreciated. Definitely worth of 5 stars all in all! I only hope they fall within my new job's insurance coverage!
genevieve
Lisa is patient , kind, gentle and informative.
Cotati
Always professional and pleasant!
S. Carr
Fantastic, friendly & knowledgeable staff from front desk to dentist. The best view we have ever had from a dentist chair.

I actually enjoy having my teeth cleaned.
Debbie
As always, looked forward to my recent appointment. The staff and dentists are beyond friendly and compassionate. And at my age (over 50), enjoyed getting a "clean" bill of health!!
Marina
Thank you for excellent customer / patient care . You are all just simply the best at everything ????
Debby
I have had some recent health challenges and had to get a dental check up before my doctor would start me on a new medication. Hillcrest was able to get me in quickly and took excellent care of me during my visit. I got a green light to begin my medication. Thank you for going above and beyond. Gratefully, Debby
I'm always uncomfortable going to the dentist. I have claustrophobia and don't like things in my mouth but Hillcrest dental is always understanding and accommodating, and makes suggestions to make my visit less stressful. They're the best.
Malissa
I’ve been with Hillcrest for over 20 years. Finding Dr. Leah was a godsend right after she got out of dental school. She has a gentle hand, always makes me smile and is incredibly accommodating when I have emergencies and scheduling conflicts. She will be my dentist for life.
Gary P Collins

My hygienist Cherl is the best , none barred, she is the reason my teeth are in such great shape. Plus , she has a great sense of humor which is needed to put up with me. Love her!

Excellent as always! I enjoy their professionalism and courtesy and smiles every time I go in.
Dr. Leah and her team are simply the best dental practice I have ever been lucky enough to go to (and I’ve been to a bunch). They are THE BEST!
Andrew
From being greeted by name as I walked in the door I felt the quality’ of customer service. I was then greeted warmly by Cheryl and well cared for by her as well as Dr Strong. I started at this dentist office as a favor to Dr Nagel’s wife in 1994. I have been well cared for ever since.
Jo
Excellent dental cleaning experience!
Cynthia
I just had the best cleaning I’ve ever had ! My teeth look so white and feel great. I’ve been coming here for over 20 years from Santa Rosa and have always felt well cared for by very competent dentists.
Kate
As always, everyone is so nice and helpful, answering all my questions and giving me everything I need to know about keeping my teeth!
Carolyn Thomas
My I have been going to Hillcrest Dental prior to 1966. Dr Gillis was my original dentist and was until he retired. When my daughter was 2 years old I started taking her there and we both have been clients since then. I have seen a lot of changes and all being positive. Best dentist office in Petaluma.
Sarah
As always Dr. Strong and her team and the ladies at the front desk provide total patient care beyond 5 stars. It has taken me a while to find the right fit for a dentist here in Petaluma but after some grim experiences now I have it. And a special thanks to Lori for going the extra mile.
Jeanette St George
Always the best dental care available. Our family have been with Hillcrest Dental since 1980 and have no reason to go anywhere else. Oh, one other thing, every employee has to pass the happy and kind test to be employed here.
Becky
I’m highly dental phobic and felt very comfortable during my appointment. It’s clean, everyone is friendly, and the view was relaxing.
As always great care from very friendly staff.
From Dr. Strong to both hygienists, Lisa and Billie, everyone was professional and easy to be around. They made my experience so comfortable and painless that I never mind returning!
Terry
Professional, efficient and friendly.
DJ

Dr. Leah and her entire staff are wonderful! Dr. Leah's ability to listen and give information is a skill she excels at in addition to the proficiency of her dental work.
Leah, You and your assistant were wonderful and informative and almost painless; and the front desk was happy and helpful. You cannot ask more from you and your team!! :) Thank you!
Katherine
Very friendly, professional, efficient dental practice.

best dentist and team ever
Bradford A Morris
After my DDS retired I have gone for years with several DDS ( and some or all of their staff ) were total rejects overall in my opinion. All show and no go! Cost me lots of money, pain and long term damages for not seeing or knowing? Not telling me anything! Dental nightmares I am sure as you would see it! Now I am a new patient seeing Dr Leah DeBerardinis for emergency work for a severe fracture to my molar that the last doctor said was just time to remove and replace my fillings. Dr Leah exam gave reason to refer me for a Root Canal with Dr Roper and that work was done to excellence! Dr Leah also saw other problems and for preventive maintenance wanted Dr Roper to give his second opinion to be sure she had not missed anything. Dr Leah was totally on her game and spot on! Dr Leah and her assistance listen , are calm , friendly and make your experience so fantastic. I hope this excellent, performance of greatness continues! Time will tell. I will tell you again latter in ;0)
Great team!
My family and I (wife and 4 children) are longtime patients at Hillcrest Dental and I always find my experience with them to be prompt, professional, polite and...dare I say it...almost fun;)!!
Betty
I felt very safe and was constantly told what was happening. This is so important. Every staff member was practicing Covid protocols and I never felt at risk. Ashley, Alayna (so) and Dr. Lea are the best.
Tina is a wonderful hygienist! Knowledgeable, communicative. Thorough. Thank you Tina and the rest of the team as well!
Daniel
Novato
Top notch dentistry.
Kieron
I've been going to Hillcrest Dental Group for over 30 years. Everyone is polite and very professional. Dr. Leah is the Best!
janet
I actually found comfort at the dentist, which is a first for me (I'm 72). The staff was supportive and helpful, and I felt Dr. Strong listened to my concerns and made a plan for my dental care which accommodated my personal needs. I loved that we had a conversation before she even looked into my mouth. I felt like a person and not a "patient".
Allison
I absolutely love Hillcrest Dental! I have been a few times recently for services. I had a cleaning with Lisa, who i adore. And, two visits with Dr Leah and her Associate, Ashley. The two of them handled a temp and permanent crown for me and they are the best team. They have a way of working together that makes it relaxing (yes, relaxed at the dental office!!). There's a flow to their way of approaching the work...seamless in terms of their parts of the process. It's obvious they actually like working together. I highly recommend all of these people and am so happy to have this team available to me so close to my home.
Joe
I called about some tooth pain. They got me right in. Everyone is very nice and the view is fantastic. I highly recommend Hill Crest dentist.
John Dicello
Very comfortable environment. Very good job on my cleaning.
Jan H.
If I could give more than 5 stars (*), I would! My family has had good dentists in prior years and being a fairly new transplant to Sonoma County,I needed a new provider. Two friends suggested Hillcrest Dental in Petaluma,Ca. Dr. Griffith gave me a more than thorough exam after assistant Ashley took xrays. And being a retired RN and versed in xray reading, he took the time to thoroughly review all my medical history and view the films together. Followed by a very thorough oral exam.This initial exam and xray appointment took 2 hrs! Very gentle and thorough. Friendly staff,both at the desk and in office.I am very grateful that this kind of practice exists in these hurried times. Thank you Hillcrest Dental!
