Kenneth Louie, DDS

I spoke to someone name Judy and she was super helpful. Took her time in helping me over the phone. I called at around 5:20 and they closed at 5:30 and instead of rushing me off the phone, she really wanted to help me. I actually haven’t been to the place but I’m pretty sure they are all awesome. Unfortunately, they don’t take my dad’s insurance so I’m bummed that I won’t be getting their services. But I highly recommend them. Really professional. And from the other reviews on here, I can see why. Thank you JUDY!!!

I needed a ton of major dental work, and the quotes I received were simply not affordable. Dr. Louie figured out a way to restore my mouth in phases that allowed me to be 100% comfortable with the treatment plan and the out-​of-​pocket cost. I’m so happy with the results and plan on having Dr. Louie take care of my smile in the future. I love the fact thats it’s a small practice, and I love Judy, who runs the front office.

I’ve shopped around for dentists in the Bay Area for a while and finally found Dr. Louie! He is very meticular in his work, and very patient in explaining things. He does tooth cleaning himself, and instead of trying to sell expensive fancy procedures, he emphasizes on recommending good oral hygiene care at home as he believes that’s the most important thing to maintain healthy teeth.
The office manager Judy is also fabulous. Judy is super sharp and efficient. She gave me very clear and accurate estimate/​information so there will be no surprise bills later.
I’m very happy with this dental office and will be a loyal patient for a long time!

Dr. Louie is the greatest dentist ever! He is very kind, gentle and knowledgeable. I have been going to him since he took over this Oakland office. Judy his office manager is also great and very accommodating. Great team keep up the good work!

I’ve been a dental client of Dr. Louie for ten years or more now. I recommend him without hesitation. He has a calm manner, offers very clear explanations, pleasant sense of humor, lovely receptionist Judy. He put a crown into a rear molar, probably the biggest job in ten years. So I have had good dental luck, and I’m on a roll if I keep flossing.

I have been going to Dr. Louie since I have had insurance (5 years) and couldn’t be happier. This is the place to go to feel comfortable, Judy at the front desk always has remembered me by name and is very sweet and friendly.
I like to go places where people remember me by name and I don’t feel like a nobody where I am getting my healthcare needs met (like I occasionally feel at Kaiser). Dr. Louie is the best!

I have been a client of Dr. Louie my entire life. Our family has been going to him since he started his practice.
I would recommend him to anyone. He has a great ability and confidence. His office is a little old looking, but there is no need for fancy equipment in a dentist office.

The Best Dentist ever!
I have recommended him to many good friends, who still use his services, is Dr. Kenneth Louie 510−444−7277 his office is on 401 29^th off Broadway in Oakland.
We drive all the way from Albany/​EC area. I like him because he was gentle with my kids since they were little.
He also has an easy going personallity and never cracks jokes while drilling unlike others I hve expierienced
We still go to him our kids are teens now.

Dr Louie is fantastic. He’s gentle, kind, calm, informative, and has good apt. availability. My office and myself have been going to him for years. He has a small office, just him and his secretary. His secretary is a bit of the tough love general but she gets the job done and is kind. I really like the small office feel, they remember me and it is never chaotic. This calm atmosphere is great for me since I get really nervous before a dentist appointment. I know he accepts Delta Dental insurance. I completely agree with Beth N’s review, please read her review for more.

dr louie is gentle, nice, thorough, educating and calm — it was actually very relaxing to be in his chair as a patient. he does all the dentistry work, with an awesome front office person, judy. he even came in on his day off when i needed an emergency root canal one time. the overall experience at his office is as unstressful as a dental appt can be.

Dr. Louie is an exceptional dentist. He has a very small practice in downtown Oakland and does all the cleanings himself. He also has Saturday hours once a month, which is very nice.
Other than Dr. Louie’s extremely nice demeanor and his gentle touch with a pick, there are many other things I love and respect about his practice.
Mostly, he does not over treat dental problems. Last year I went in when I thought I may have needed a root canal. He could have easily performed a $ 1000 procedure and billed my insurance company; however, he instead advised me to wait a couple of days in case it was a sinus infection. He said my sinuses could also be pinching the nerve and he’d hate to do a procedure that was unnecessary.
Secondly, he does not push — or even suggest — cosmetic dentistry. I find this very refreshing. Recently, I had some tooth issues from a bicycle accident that left one of my from tooth bruised. It is slightly discolored and he did not suggest a procedure that would alter the color of my tooth. All he told me was medical advice about infections that can occur later from a bruised tooth. Moreover, in several years going to Dr. Louie he never has mentioned anything about bleaching my yellow teeth. That is very unique these days.
Third, Dr. Louie is really into giving people «the science» behind teeth. I find this fascinating and enjoy how he explains medical issues and acts as a teacher sometimes at appointments.
Lastly, Dr. Louie’s office manager, Judy, is really nice. Things are very punctual at that office — even when you have to be squeezed in for an emergency. I highly recommend Dr. Louie for his great practice style and kindness!
