General Dentist
Dr. Pollack grew up in Southern California and attended the University of California Santa Barbara for her undergraduate studies. She graduated from Rutgers Dental School in New Jersey in 2013. After completing her dental residency in New York City, she moved to the East Bay Area and has since been practicing there as a family dentist. She also volunteers her time at the Berkeley Free Dental Clinic.
Dr. Pollack has a very warm and personal approach with her patients and knows that one treatment option does not fit all. She believes it is important for a patient to be fully informed in order to make the best decisions for their oral health. She prides herself in her ability to listen to her patient's needs and ease their anxieties.
When she’s not providing exceptional dental care for her patients, you might find her hiking around the Bay Area with her husband, daughters, and the family dog.
