Lasting Relationships We are proud to be a long-standing fixture in downtown Los Altos, helping patients at this location since 1960, when Dr. Johns father Leonard McBirney opened the practice. Almost 60 years later, our mission has not changed, and our loyal patients keep coming back year after year because of our kindness, integrity, and genuine personal connection. We value people and relationships first, and this is our biggest motivator to provide conservative, prevention-based dental care for you and your family. We are gentle, caring, and extremely proud of our role as healers in the community.
Communication We believe that communication is key to successful diagnosis, treatment, and overall patient experience. We will actively listen to your concerns and questions. The doctors will co-diagnose with you, and empower you to make decisions about your own oral health. Digital X-rays, intraoral photos, diagrams, and videos are just some of the tools we can use to help communicate effectively. We will not pressure you. We strive to make your experience as comfortable as possible, and we know that communication plays an important role in that.
Technology We utilize the most up-to- date, proven technology to ensure the highest level of diagnosis, patient education, and restorations available. Examples include digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, DIAGNOdent caries detection, CEREC single-visit crowns and onlays, and state-of- the-art techniques for restoration of dental implants. We choose to invest in these technologies because we care about you and the quality of work we do for you. Modern technology contributes to your comfort, convenience, and quick recovery, and so we keep current with new products as they become available and confirmed by research.
Exceptional Care At our office, above all else, you will experience our genuine concern for your welfare. We work very hard to maintain consistency in the quality of our work, and never compromise, because our patients matter too much to us. Drs. Diamond is committed to doing the right thing always, and when performing dentistry, he works in a gentle, caring yet efficient manner to provide long-lasting, beautiful restorations that we stand behind. We are constantly searching for ways to improve our care and patient experience. We invite you to come in and see for yourself.
