OAKLAND, CA – April 17, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Montclair Pediatric Dentistry has been named the recipient of the Best of 2026 Award by BusinessRate (businessrate.com), a business intelligence platform that analyzes Google review data to rank local businesses within their categories. The recognition is based on the practice’s Benchmark Score, a composite metric that evaluates historical review performance, recent customer satisfaction trends, and review quality against competing businesses in the Oakland area. The award acknowledges the practice’s commitment to providing specialized dental services for infants, children, and adolescents throughout the East Bay region.
The recognition comes as the boutique pediatric dental practice continues to serve families across the East Bay. Founded by board-certified pediatric dentists Dr. Lina Paek and Dr. Rebecca Hsieh, the practice has established itself within the Montclair Village area through evidence-based care and community involvement. The award highlights the practice’s dedication to maintaining high standards of pediatric dental care while fostering positive experiences for young patients.
The award acknowledges the clinical expertise of both founding dentists, who are board-certified by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, representing the highest credential in pediatric dentistry. Dr. Lina Paek earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery from Columbia University and completed her pediatric dentistry residency at New York University and Bellevue Hospital. Dr. Rebecca Hsieh holds both a Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of California, San Francisco, and a Master of Public Health in Epidemiology from Columbia University, and completed her pediatric dentistry residency at Children’s National Health System in Washington, D.C.
“This recognition reflects our team’s dedication to providing individualized care for every child who walks through our doors,” said Dr. Lina Paek of Montclair Pediatric Dentistry. “Our focus on minimally invasive treatments and creating a welcoming environment has always been central to our practice philosophy. We believe that establishing positive dental experiences early in life sets the foundation for lifelong oral health habits.”
The award also recognizes the practice’s comprehensive approach to pediatric dental care, which includes preventive care through minimally invasive dentistry and sedation options designed to create comfortable experiences for young patients. The practice provides restorative care and infant care by following American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry guidelines, along with emergency treatment and space maintenance services tailored to children’s unique needs.
Community involvement factored into the recognition, with both doctors maintaining active roles in professional organizations that contribute to pediatric dental care standards. Dr. Rebecca Hsieh serves as Director at Large for the Alameda County Dental Society, and Dr. Lina Paek holds the same position with the Berkeley Dental Society. The practice’s commitment to community outreach through the Montclair Cares Club and oral hygiene education at local schools demonstrates its dedication to improving children’s oral health beyond their clinical setting.
“We believe in building lasting relationships with families and supporting children’s oral health through education and gentle care,” said Dr. Rebecca Hsieh. “This award validates our approach of combining clinical expertise with a child-friendly environment. Our public health perspective helps us understand the broader impact of preventive care on community health outcomes.”
The award acknowledges the practice’s approach to serving children with special healthcare needs, drawing on the doctors’ extensive experience in hospital-based pediatric dentistry. The practice’s nearly 20 years of combined experience exclusively in pediatric dentistry contributed to their recognition for maintaining clinical excellence and patient satisfaction standards.
Patient recognition also contributed to the award consideration, according to the practice’s online reviews. Families frequently note the staff’s patient-centered approach and the child-friendly office environment. The practice operates from Oakland’s Montclair Village, upholding sustainable dental practices that align with their commitment to comprehensive pediatric care.
The Best of 2026 Award from BusinessRate reflects the practice’s sustained performance across all three scoring components: Endurance Score, which measures complete review history; Momentum Score, which tracks performance over the past 90 days; and Review Quality Score, which evaluates the depth and authenticity of patient feedback. The combined Benchmark Score, rated on a 0-300 scale, ranked Montclair Pediatric Dentistry among the top pediatric dental providers in its local market.
