After spending 20 years in Berkeley, just 2 blocks from the University of California, we moved our practice to Piedmont in July, 2005. Piedmont just celebrated its centennial in 2007. As we all know, the San Francisco earthquake was in April of 1906. Back then, there was no Bay Bridge and a number of wealthy San Francisco executives had vacation ranches here in Piedmont. With the destruction of San Francisco, these founders of Piedmont moved accross the bay and made Piedmont a city in 1907. Back then, Piedmont was a destination resort, with The Piedmont Springs Hotel and the Key Route railroad system bringing guests right into the heart of Piedmont. Over time, Piedmont became a bedroom community for San Francisco executives, University of California Professors, and retired officers from the Alameda Naval Air Station. Piedmont also attracted physicians practicing at hospitals in Oakland, Berkeley, San Leandro, Hayward, Walnut Creek, and as far away as Pittsburg in my father's case.
Today, Piedmont is still a bedroom community, minus the railroad and the destination resort hotel which burned down many years ago. With its outstanding schools, dedicated police and fire departments and fabulous parks department, Piedmont is highly sought after as one of the premiere placed to live in the San Francisco Bay Area.
As a dental practice in Piedmont, we are fortunate to be centrally located, not just in the San Francisco Bay Area but also in California. Typical demographic wisdom tells us that people generally travel no more than 5 miles to see their dentist. Because we provide some unique services such as cosmetic dentistry, full mouth rehabilitation, sedation, and TMJ treatment--and possibly because I am a clinical instructor at LVI and Founder/President of The Dental Comfort Academy--patients travel long distances to come to our office. Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, we have patients from San Francisco, San Mateo, Burlingame, Palo Alto, Redwood City, San Bruno, San Jose, Los Gatos, Silicon Valley, Fremont, Alameda, Oakland, San Rafael, Marin, Novato, Sausalito, Healdsburg, Petaluma, Sebastopol, Orinda, Lafayette, Walnut Creek, Alamo, Danville, San Ramon, Dublin, Concord, Pleasant Hill, Livermore, Pleasanton, Benicia, Pittsburg, Antioch and Brentwood. Whew! Outside of the Bay Area, patients travel from Tracy, Modesto, Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and San Diego. We even have patients who travel nationally from Indiana, Texas, Washington, DC, Chicago, Denver, Atlanta and Florida. Internationally, we have patients from Japan, China, Thailand, Singapore, Sweden, Israel, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Mexico. Piedmont is, indeed, centrally located!
If you think it's crazy to travel to Piedmont to see the dentist, please give us a call and we will help you to see just how easy we can make it for you.
