Unfortunately, maybe it was only my experience but in my original wisdom tooth extraction consultation there I was told by a kind and descriptive dentist to ask for a in-depth image and to have everything explained to me and she explained what she could so I felt secure that the actual wisdom tooth extraction experience would be similar in descriptiveness. Unfortunately for me it wasn't. While I will say the ladies and man assisting and who were in the room were very kind and caring, offering me comfort, the oral surgeon lady who was going to remove my wisdom teeth was very blunt and belittling in my opinion. To explain, she simply told me all four of my teeth are getting removed and I asked why because I had previously been told my upper wisdom teeth were very high up (a lot of bone between my mouth and wisdom teeth) and I could wait to have them grow out further before removing them and she instead of answering my question just said the bone regrows because I'm young. When I asked how far up or low my top wisdom teeth are in my mouth, she said I don't understand your question. I started to cry and get anxious because she wasn't answering my questions, trembling because I was afraid, and she instead repeated herself in a belittling tone. (I had thought she would be descriptive and explain my worries to me calmly like in my original consultation). Ultimately, I asked for my dad which was when she explained herself slightly better. In the end, she said I never told her about only getting my bottom ones out (which I did in the beginning before I got scared and starting crying) so we ultimately left after she said she wouldn't proceed, yes, my father did get agitated but only because I was trembling and crying in fear and feeling unheard. It was as if they were rushing me and out. No beside manners, nobody introduced themselves the got straight to asking questions, pressure check, didn't ask before pulling my shirt up to put heart monitor pads on me, no regard for patient commodity, they just kept going despite seeing me crying. No comfort, just rushing. I am 19 and this was my first ever surgery, if she had even just spoken to me kinder or more professionally, I would have been fine but she just proceeded to insert my iv, and repeat herself without (I feel like) regards for my fear or feelings. Please do not fear! The other employees were kind and helpful, but she gave me a new fear that I didn't know I could get. Kindness and compassion goes a long way.

And when I called back to say we had some issues with timing and insurance she happily helped with that too. Dr. Hickle has experience and great chair side manner. My daughter was very nervous after we had her first consult. Dr. Hickle explained everything and was very reassuring. He's more conservative so we can wait a little while before she "needs" to have her wisdom teeth pulled. Which was great news. I'm very happy I did my research after we had a bad experience. I wish I had read the other Drs reviews before I even went there. This office is what oral surgery should be.

This place is terrible. Thankfully I had a bad feeling about them and found someone else…read more I took my teen daughter in may 9 for a consultation to have her wisdom teeth removed as we were referred by her ped. Dentist. I received a bill 8/11 for $223 for the consult. No one called let me know how much they billed $366 for the consult, and on top of that the office doesn't have a scale but they put people under (apparently they just take your word for your weight) my teen doesn't weigh herself and they asked me to estimate. I was 25 pounds off. The doc wasn't reassuring and now my kid is unrealistically afraid of the surgery and no one ever called me to let me know how much the surgery would be or when we could get her on the schedule. I was hoping she could have her wisdom teeth removed over the summer but now I have to start all over with another office. I'm glad this place thinks so highly of themselves. As a parent, I can't charge them for my time but I sure can protect my kids from them. After reading some terrible reviews, I'm just lucky I felt all the bad vibes before something much worse happened.

Finding a great dentist is harder than it should be…read more When I needed a new dentist who took my insurance--one I trusted enough for both routine cleanings and a crown--I searched my town and the surrounding area and was disheartened by what I found. Hardly anyone had good reviews. (I think it's because people write reviews when they're unhappy and stay quiet when they're not.) I want to be the exception, because Dr. Seung Lee at Novato Smiles Dentistry deserves to be found. I came in a little nervous, as most people are with a new dentist. Dr. Lee immediately put me at ease. He's a great listener, gentle, and takes the time to explain your options without making you feel rushed. He was on time, efficient, and treated me like a person. Getting a crown is not something I was willing to do with just anyone, and after this visit, I knew I'd found the right dentist. When I mentioned my Invisalign retainer, he made sure it would work with both the temporary and permanent crown--no extra charge, no big deal made of it. That kind of quiet thoughtfulness says a lot about someone. If you're searching for a dentist in the area and feeling discouraged, I hope this helps. Dr. Lee is everything you'd want: knowledgeable, kind, patient, and genuinely invested in your care.

I've been disappointed by how much the pricing has increased over time, particularly for something…read moreas straightforward as a replacement retainer. There no longer seems to be any consideration or loyalty pricing for long-term patients. After calling around to other local orthodontic offices, I found comparable replacement retainers for nearly half the cost, and overall pricing differences that can amount to thousands of dollars for similar services. I've had orthodontic care at other offices in the past, including a more affordable practice in Novato (now retired) and Wilson, and the quality of results was the same. Unfortunately, this office now feels far more expensive than others offering comparable care. While the staff and outcomes have been ok, the pricing no longer feels competitive or reflective of long-standing patient relationships. I would encourage prospective patients to compare pricing with other offices before committing. Also, most advanced offices offer scanners instead of molds, so much more precise! And now if one loses retainer the can use scan avoiding costly old fashion mold replacement. Probably no good for $ for dentist but great for patients!
