Needing teeth extracted is never something anyone looks forward to, but Dr. Gabriel Gabbaypour made the entire experience far less stressful than I ever expected. I had two upper molars removed, and from my first appointment through recovery, I felt I was in very capable hands. Dr. Gabbaypour took the time to explain the procedure, answered my questions thoroughly, and had a calm, reassuring manner that immediately put me at ease. The surgery itself was efficient, and everything went exactly as he described. What impressed me the most was the recovery. I kept waiting for the pain everyone warns you about, but it never really came. I had very little discomfort, healed quickly, and was able to get back to my normal routine much sooner than I anticipated. The office staff deserves recognition as well - they're welcoming, organized, and genuinely pleasant to work with. It's clear that patient care is a priority throughout the entire practice. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Gabbaypour to anyone needing oral surgery. His skill, professionalism, and compassionate approach made what could have been an intimidating experience an overwhelmingly positive one. read more

Our family has had multiple procedures performed at this practice, including wisdom teeth extractions for my children and a bone graft procedure for myself, and every experience has been outstanding. From the first consultation through recovery, the entire team demonstrated professionalism, compassion, and genuine care. The office staff is friendly, organized, and welcoming, making each visit smooth and stress-free. What truly sets this practice apart is Dr Gabbaypour's exceptional bedside manner and empathy. Both my children and I felt heard, respected, and reassured throughout the process. Dr. Gabbaypour took the time to explain everything clearly, answer questions thoroughly, and make sure we felt comfortable every step of the way. My children's wisdom teeth extractions went smoothly, and their recoveries were much faster than we expected. My bone graft procedure was handled with incredible skill and care, and I always felt confident that I was in excellent hands. One thing that particularly impressed me was the personal follow-up after the procedures. Receiving follow-up calls to check on our recovery and well-being demonstrated a level of patient care that is increasingly rare. It was clear that the team genuinely cared about our outcomes and comfort long after we left the office. The combination of clinical excellence, compassion, and personalized attention makes this practice truly exceptional. I would highly recommend this office to anyone in need of oral surgery. Our family is grateful for the outstanding care we received, and we would not hesitate to return if needed. Thank you , Dr. Gabbaypour, for providing such a positive experience. read more

I went to this Dr. Gabbaypour after being referred for an impacted upper wisdom tooth. My general dentist wasn't comfortable removing it due to its position, so I was sent here. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. During the consultation, I felt judged and talked down to for not having my wisdom teeth removed earlier. I was told that at 31, I was "old" for this procedure, and that complications would be higher because I hadn't done this when I was younger. This felt unnecessary and dismissive, my teeth had never caused issues before, and I had only ever been advised to remove them if they became a problem. I also felt that there was little acknowledgment that not everyone undergoes procedures like this early on, whether due to personal, medical, or financial reasons. The tone came across as more critical than informative. Paying to have all 4 teeth removed at once when you're young is not only unnecessarily traumatic, but it is EXPENSIVE. That is why my parents never had me do it at a young age. I was also told that I had to be put under anesthesia for the procedure. I explained that I had all my other wisdom teeth removed with only local anesthesia and was hoping to do the same. However, I was told that wouldn't be possible in my case. No clue why. Just sounded like he wanted to charge the extra that it would have cost and make some extra money. Uncomfortable with both the tone of the appointment and the insistence on general anesthesia, I decided to seek a second opinion. Another oral surgeon confirmed that general anesthesia was NOT required for this procedure and successfully removed the tooth using only local anesthesia. I'm sharing this so others feel empowered to get a second opinion, especially if something doesn't sit right. My experience here felt more pushy and judgmental than informative or patient-centered. read more

Came here for a consultation it took a month for my them to approve my insurance. I was in SEVERE pain I kept calling the receptionist and even said I would pay out of pocket. The receptionist showed no concern, the doctor never called me back. I went to get an emergency procedure from another office and they accepted me the same day I called. Very disappointed in the way I was treated. They still have not checked on me lol. read more

To the good and rich people of Beverly Hills, just know this doctor happens to take Medi-cal for a reason!! He told me as a 19 year old VERBATIM (verbatim means word for word) to IGNORE the structural MISALIGNMENT and the DAMAGE and PERFORATIONS caused by it to my jaw joints (which is all shown on the MRI I brought to him on a CD and also had digitally on my laptop which he didn't even attempt to look at it). His generic chat gpt created treatment plan was printed out in a stack, ready to pass out to any patient he's not knowledgeable enough to help (which there is no shame to not being knowledgeable but at least admit it). On this ai generated treatment plan (I say AI generated because I've found the exact same and even better ones through AI myself), it consisted of taking over the counter pain medication, eating soft foods only and using an ice pack. (All of which I've of course been doing due to the fact that this information is extremely available in our day and AI-age which I mentioned multiple times and he again ignored me). There was also no further treatment plan recommended and no referral either to seek a viable treatment option. This guy really loves the word IGNORE. I understand if he's not able to help me due to his lack of training and knowledge about TMJ disorders, but to not even help me get help somewhere else is just evil and malicious in my opinion. I say malicious because instead of automatically referring me elsewhere, he instead tells me he wants to LOOK at my custom night guard (and again he doesn't elaborate (even when asked) on what he wants to do after he LOOKS at my custom night guard.) The only reason why he wants to look at my night guard and see him for another appointment is because he wants the measly couple of hundred or thousand dollars Medi-cal will pay him for seeing me again. To me this either shows he's extremely greedy or his office is suffering financially, neither of which you'd want in a doctor or medical establishment. The fact a doctor of his stature is allowed to tell any patient, let alone a young patient as myself to IGNORE any abnormalities causing CLEAR DAMAGE shown on an MRI is beyond me. I'm genuinely in shock at the state of medical care in today's age, especially in a place like Beverly Hills. The cherry on top is he has 3 albums FULL of notes from patients praising him in his waiting room. I'm not denying their positive experience but if you have to prove your greatness and how loved you are before the patient even meets you, it raises the question on how great you really could be. To me, if you're that amazing, your work, results AND your personality will show it for you within the first minute of meeting, which to disappoint the paying and Medi-cal patients of Beverly Hills, his greatness did not show its face, at least not when I visited on 06/09/2026. Again. I'm not denying he's done great work for others , but I want to make future patients aware of his not so great side and about how he could POTENTIALLY treat and dismiss you. Do with this what you will, my hope is you will turn yourself around into another office, especially if you have the funds to do so. read more

I went to Dr. Gabbaypour to have 3 wisdom teeth removed. While the surgery itself seemed to go fine, the aftermath was a nightmare that lasted over 2.5 agonizing months due to Dr. Gabbaypour's negligent post-operative care. In the weeks following the surgery, I experienced excruciating pain and swelling so severe that I could barely open my mouth to eat. My recovery was clearly not normal, yet on multiple visits back to Dr. Gabbaypour's office, my concerns were brushed aside with a cursory examination, I was misdiagnosed with TMJ disorder and prescribed powerful pain killers to deal with the problem. The lack of proper evaluation and care from Dr. Gabbaypour allowed what was actually a severe throat infection to go undiagnosed and untreated for months. I suffered through 10 out of 10 levels of pain and was ill 3 times due to my lowered immune system. It wasn't until I ended up in the emergency room (less than 2 days after seeing Dr. Gabbaypour for the last time) that the throat infection caused by the wisdom teeth removal was finally correctly diagnosed - within 10 seconds of a doctor looking into my mouth. If Dr. Gabbaypour had taken the time to thoroughly evaluate me instead of making snap judgments, I could have avoided this entire prolonged ordeal. In the ER, I underwent an extremely uncomfortable drainage procedure, and weeks of subsequent rounds of antibiotics and steroids to treat the neglected infection. I highly caution anyone against using Dr. Gabbaypour for any oral surgery or dental work. His negligence caused me incredible suffering that could have easily been prevented with competent post-operative care. Do not let this dentist perform work in your mouth. read more

Dr. Gabby is a gem and simply the BEST oral surgeon in the world. He removed 4 wisdom teeth for my daughter Sophie 2 weeks ago and we did our post op today. The surgery was very hard as all 4 teeth were completely impacted but everything went perfectly and she is healing beautifully! We are so pleased and so grateful for Dr. Gabby's hard work. He was kind and gentle and compassionate and skilled every step of the way. He made sure she did not have any pain and put her completely to sleep. after surgery, She had very little discomfort and only took a few Advils the next few days. He even called to make sure she was doing all right. She had very minimal swelling which I couldn't believe and she was up and about in a few days. We did our research and due diligence and trust me, there is nobody as skilled as Dr Gabby. I trust him implicitly and anyone that sees him is ve try fortunate. A million thank you's to Dr. Gabby for treating Sophie so impeccably and with such grace and genuine kindness. read more

I'm fortunate my dentist was able to get me seen today. Professional and kind. What more can you want? Highly recommend read more

EXCELLENT SURGERY, NIGHTMARE BILLING Loved Dr. Gabbaypour! He did an outstanding job on our wisdom teeth removal. Very responsive with follow-up communications and quickly accommodated a follow-up appointment when lingering pain turned out to be a dry socket. But his office's billing practices are predatory at worst, negligent at best. The office required us to prepay $1,115 in estimated out-of-pocket costs for the in-network procedure. Only after scrutinizing many insurance EOBs did we notice a billing code that was included on our prepayment charges but missing from the EOBs. The office had us pay $450 out of pocket for it and never submitted it to insurance. Dr. Gabbaypour's billing clerk told us our insurance would not cover the code so she didn't bother submitting a claim for it. That's bad practice in itself. But the code was listed as covered under our insurance so we insisted she submit it. Sure enough, insurance covered it and Dr. Gabbaypour accepted the $128 allowed amount for the in-network procedure. The EOBs showed our total cost sharing was $621 so we were owed $492 reimbursement. The billing clerk strung us along for weeks, asking for more time to receive the final payment from insurance. After many, many calls, she finally said she would get our check in the mail -- for $150. We insisted on $493. She offered $300. We insisted again; this is not a negotiation. Finally she agreed to send the full $493. If we had not asked for a printout of the prepayment dental codes, or if we had not closely scrutinized the EOBs, we would have overlooked the missing claim and Dr. Gabbaypour would have unjustly pocketed several hundred dollars. We've asked the state attorney general to audit the practice because we believe other patients may have been victimized. If you use Dr. Gabbaypour: - DEMAND a printout of your insurance estimate with all procedure codes - DEMAND that they submit all procedure codes to your insurance - SCRUTINIZE your EOBs - DEMAND prompt reimbursement of any overpayment read more

I walked in as a 30 year old with typical wisdom teeth anxiety. 6 teeth in total too. Dr. Gabriel shot me straight and was very thorough. He gave me his opinions and then ample time to think it over. Ultimately, I went through with the procedure and am thankful that I was in such good care. Very happy he was my surgeon through this, he event sent me a text later on to check in. If you're on the fence, do it. The procedure itself was painless and now I don't have to worry about future wisdom teeth issues. read more

Dr. Gabbaypour is exceptionally great and caring doctor. I had 4 wisdom teeth removed under general anesthesia, it was a quick and almost painless experience. My situation was more difficult as I had a fresh implant installed a bit too close to one of the wisdom tooth and Dr. Gabbaypour did an amazing job, and a few hours after a surgery surprised me with a personal call to make sure I was ok. I am grateful for such a personal care from Dr. Gabbaypour. The staff is also excellent here, and also thankful for the great anesthetist who took care of me. read more

Dr Gabbaypour is AMAZING. Wisdom teeth extraction was seamless. I had all 4 impacted and bottom ones both touching the nerve and my recovery was easy. The experience itself - I went in and he let me know of the risks because he legally has to and then I was sedated, woke up and my teeth were out. The recovery was fine I did not need more than ibuprofen and ice packs daily. He is always available and responsive via his cell for any concerns you have during the recovery. Thank you so much Dr Gabbaypour! read more

I had a great experience with Dr. Gabbaypour and the entire staff. They are organized, extremely knowledgeable, and efficient. Look... Is he the friendly family dentist that is going to chat with you about your recent vacation? No. He's very professional and matter-of-fact. But at the end of the day, that's what I'm looking for in a person that's dealing with surgery on my face. I would recommend him and the team 1000 times over. read more

Dr. G has been a lifesaver for my receding gums. His expertise and approach are truly awesome. I was initially apprehensive, but his incredible kindness and helpfulness in addressing my fears made the entire process much more manageable. I feel really lucky to have him in my corner and a doc who not only excels in his field but also goes above and beyond to make patients feel comfortable and supported. R.Weidman read more

My husband came in for an extraction on tooth #30. Dr. Gabbaypour and his staff were amazing. It was quick, and my husband had little to no pain after. I truly appreciate that Dr. Gabbaypour himself called to see how my husband was doing the following day. This just truly shows he cares about his patients. read more

The best staff ever. Everyone here is genuinely nice and helpful. I had my four wisdom teeth extracted and Dr. Gabbaypour made the experience very pleasant and smooth. He suggested PRF and I am glad he did because I had a quick recovery. read more

I don't usually write reviews but I feel the need to do it this time. Quick disclaimer this is not about the dentist or the office itself, but about the receptionist who handles scheduling on the phone. I called to inquire about wisdom teeth removal and had pretty basic questions, about the procedure and pricing. She was EXTREMELY rude to me, in a way that I never experienced before when I was just asking normal questions about how the process is. She ended the call abruptly by saying "maybe this is not the office for you." and hung up the phone one me. I was polite the whole time and was really surprised in a bad way by her reaction. I was a potential new client but for sure won't be going now. read more

Amazing experience, highly recommend. Top notch service and a very fair price. Anyone looking to get their wisdom teeth taken out, I would only recommend coming to this office. read more

I have been going to Dr. Gabbaypour for years. He is a fantastic doctor. He is knowledgeable and caring. I am a retired doctor myself and i have lots of experience and if he can take care of someone as old as I am (over 90) then he take care of you. If you want a great Dr. he is your man. Thank you Dr. Gabbaypour. read more

They took care of me. I had a really bad infection and my experience at this office was great except for dealing with my insurance because I have medical. Other than that the doctor was amazing and genuinely cared. The staff were great. My procedure was done within 45 minutes. I feel a lot better and hoping to get my implant done here as well. read more

This review is LONG overdue! Dr Gabbaypour has done multiple procedures for me over the last several years. Words can not express how much I appreciate him and his staff. I'm a nervous dental patient and their office runs like clockwork, so smooth that you don't have time to get too nervous. They are just simply the best at what they do. His guidance in my dental care has been invaluable, all procedures have been seem-less. Jessica the office manage is an angel and just so great at what she does as are everyone who works in this practice, I actually look forward to seeing them!!! What's wrong with me!!! :) Dr Gabbaypour you are my "Gabriel" angel! Ok, bad joke, pun intended. THANKYOU! read more

I can't speak highly enough about Dr. Gabbaypour and his amazing staff. I had the pleasure of receiving two implants from this very talented doctor. However one of my implants was an issue, due to my severe bone loss. This called for absolute precision and skill. Dr. Gabbaypour exceeded my expectations with his artistry and professionalism. I can honestly say the praise this doctor and his helpful staff are receiving from previous posts are both sincere and... well deserved. If you're seeking a doctor, this is the ONLY PLACE you need to search. Consider yourself lucky to have found Dr. Gabbaypour and his practice. He truly is THE BEST IN TOWN! 100%! read more

I cannot recommend Dr. Gabbaypour enough! I had been putting off getting my wisdom teeth removed bc going to the dentist is my nightmare but Dr. Gabbaypour made me feel so at ease! The staff is also super friendly and they were so kind to me despite how many times I asked if they were 10000% sure that I would be completely out for the procedure. Dr. Gabbaypour is very professional and I personally loved that he did not talk my ear off bc that's my biggest pet peeve when it comes to dentists. Hoping I never have to see him again but would love to bump into him in LA bc he's THAT awesome! read more

This is by far the best oral surgeon I have ever been to and I have been to a lot . He doesn't leave his patients in the dark, he is 100 percent honest and it's hard to find good people like this anymore. I had not the typical case and found Gabbypour and he was honest and was the only one who explained everything in detail to me . His extractions are painless and if I could give him ten stars I would. I have seen well over ten people these past few years and he is the best and most importantly honest !! read more

After hearing many unpleasant stories about wisdom teeth removals, I was just terrified to even think that I had to extract all 4 of my wisdom teeth. However, I had the most amazing experience at Dr. Gabbaypour's office. Starting from the staff to the doctor himself- everyone was extremely attentive and gave me great care. The first consultation was very quick, without any waiting lines, during which the doctor examined me and ensured that I will be fine, even if I take all 4 at the same time. The surgery took about an hour which was done with anesthesia, and afterwards I was ready to go home without any complications. To my surprise, I did not even swell for a bit, did not bleed, and I was ready for my daily activities after a few hours of rest. The doctor even called me in the evening to see how I am doing (thank you!!!) Whenever my jaw started to hurt, I took Ibuprofen and the pain went away. I had my surgery on a Friday and on Monday I did not have any pain at all. So, if you've been avoiding to go and have your wisdom teeth extracted for months (like me), are terrified of these types of experiences (like me), Dr. Gabbaypour will completely change your perspective about this. I can't thank you enough for taking care of me the way you did!!! You guys are the best! Thank you!!! read more

Dr Gabypour saved the day. I had a fractured tooth and i tried another dentist and i jumped out of the chair when i felt the painful injection, ( ). Dr G helped me with the same day. Bone grafting is necessary if you want to be made healthy after tooth extraction. Dr G is an artist and is skilled and deserves accolades, It seems that any low reviews are from those who don't understand how to treat royalty and are disrespectful toward an expert physician read more

I had such a wonderful experience getting my wisdom teeth removed with Dr. Gabbaypour. Him and his staffs were very professional and caring towards their patients. I definitely would recommend anyone to go get their wisdom teeth removed here. It was painless experience and I had a very fast recovery. Thank you very much Dr. Gabbaypour! read more

Absolutely impressed. My first time undergoing oral surgery and I'm so glad I did it with DR. Gabbaypour. Him and his team were so kind, welcoming and willing to answer my numerous questions. I had four wisdom teeth pulled, 2 of which were horizontal which made the procedure more difficult and which made me nervous but DR. Gabbaypour did such and amazing job. I had literally no pain after the procedure and am healing extremely quickly with no complications. I absolutely recommend. No need to look elsewhere for an oral surgeon! read more

I came to get a couple wisdom teeth removed. My procedure, as far as I know since I was out, went perfectly. No pain, I ate dinner that night. No complications (except discovering I'm allergic to the antibiotics). That counts for a lot, obviously. However, customer service-wise, I had a very rough time. I wasn't given an option regarding anesthesia, they just stuck a needle in me and put me out without any explanation.. so I had to foot the bill since general anesthesia isn't usually covered. The office wouldn't call me back regarding a doctor's note for the necessity of general anesthesia to submit to the insurance company, even though I tried half a dozen times over the span of several months. They wouldn't send me my xrays until I requested them a few times either. For my follow-up visit, I was told it would be a quick 5-minute visit. I waited for at least 30 minutes and had to go out TWICE and put more quarters in the meter. When the doctor finally came in (he was talking on his cell outside when I'd walked in earlier), he made no apologies for the delay. read more

Don't even think twice about going to Dr.Gabbaypour. He knows exactly what he is doing even with tricky cases! None of my wisdom teeth had grown out and they were all close to nerves. He got them all out at once with no nerve damage or complications, my recovery wasn't bad at all and now I'm healing quick! I can't say it enough he is amazing. His staff is also very nice and attentive and they've done this a lot you can tell. So glad I found him through google, what amazing luck! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Gabbaypour and his office. My first procedure with him was just extraction of two impacted wisdom teeth. Every single person I talked to beforehand warned me about how much pain I'll be in for a few days after. Well, not with Dr. Gabbaypour's work! It was one of the easiest procedures I've ever had. No pain or discomfort whatsoever!! They gave me prescription strength Tylenol just in case, but I didn't even use it. Everyone at work was surprised that I was completely fine and working as usual the next day. Plus, everyone is always very polite at his office and happy to answer questions. The surgery needed general anesthesia, and when I woke up I was in a really comfy sofa-like chair with a blanket (so sweet). They told me to take my time relaxing until I was ready, and then helped me up and out with my dad who was driving me. Honestly everything was so quick, easy, and seamless (not to mention painless) that I feel like it didn't even happen. Now that's how a surgery should go :) Thank you, Dr. G! read more

Dr. Gabbaypour is an absolute gem. He's compassionate, kind, and an EXCELLENT doctor. I pulled all 4 of my wisdom teeth with him a few years back and had zero pain or complications afterwards. My entire family has seen him since for various reasons ranging from simple to the most complex dental procedures, and all had a wonderful and painless experience. He's kind, listens to you, and even calls you after the procedure to see how you're doing. He's always responsive, returns your calls and answers every question. Thank you for being the best. read more

Dr. Gabbaypour is a genuine sweetheart. Going in was quick, convenient, and to the point. No information was misleading and the experience was delightful. Yep, delightful is the word and I actually went in for surgery two weeks ago! Trust me when a random bubble pops out of your lower lip- called a mococele- there's nothing but panic and discomfort. Thanks to a wonderful referral from Dr. Harouni I was able to work with Dr. Gabbaypour. He explained the procedure that needed to be done and clearly displayed the costs as well. I have seen Dr. Gabbaypour a total of four times. Not only does he take the proper time for consultation, but actually performed the procedure, and maintained adequate follow ups as well! Being within the service industry I know how very important we all like to feel knowing somebody cares to go out of their way for us- and Dr. Gabbaypour does exactly that! The ladies within the office are all so wonderful to work with as well! They will make you feel extremely comfortable. The experience I had at this office was one I was absolutely dreading but honestly I kind of enjoyed going in there for follow ups :) Also the location is convenient and easy to find with a well maintained office space, parking garage, properly organized staff and systems. I mean what more could a yelper ask for? Here's to happy and comfort filled procedures Yelpers! Shehla read more

My 82 year-old mother had fractured her tooth under her crown. Not good news, and her periodontist confirmed that the tooth could not be saved. Her general dentist referred her to his #1 referring oral surgeon, Dr. Garbriel Gabbaypour. We were able to fill in their new patient forms online, which is very convenient! Mom had a very curved root and both her general dentist and her periodontist said that this would not be an easy extraction. She was pretty anxious about this appointment as you can imagine. I went with her on this last Monday and she was treated so well by the entire staff. She didn't require sedation, just localized numbing, and Dr. Gabbaypour had no troubles with this tricky tooth! Mom was sent home with clear post op instructions, lots of extra gauze and a follow up visit scheduled in one week. The following morning, Mom reported that there was no pain from the extraction and she had just taken one regular strength Tylenol. Thank you so much to Dr. Gabbaypour, Jessica and everyone at Beverly Hills Oral Surgery. read more

This is not a review about a medical procedure that was done, but rather about one that was supposed to happen and didn't. FEB 13, 2020 - THURSDAY I was referred to Dr. Gabbaypour's because my front left tooth (#9) was undergoing resorption and needed and extraction/implant. They took panoramic x-rays ($300 from my Delta Dental insurance pool). Dr. Gabbaypour came into my room. I don't recall if he actually introduced himself, but he seemed noticeably "distracted". He looked at the x-rays and said the norm for this procedure is to have the tooth extracted and implant put in at the same time. However, I didn't have enough bone matter to support the implant and he would have to put in bone graft. My dentist would have to make a "flipper" (false tooth) that I could put in immediately after tooth extraction. This would have to heal a few months before the implant could be inserted. In addition, Dr. Gabbaypour said I would have to be put under anesthesia as opposed to a local numbing. And should do it soon because the tooth was deteriorating above and below the gum line. I was leaving town the following week for a week. Dr. Gabbaypour didn't want to do the surgery before I left. He wanted my dentist to bond the front four teeth for stability as he felt the tooth could break off at any time. He to call him after the bonding and impression "flipper" to set up surgery. FEBRUARY 17, 2020 - MONDAY Had front four teeth bonded and impression taken. ($200 out of pocket for bonding only) Called Dr. Gabbaypour's office to schedule surgery. Kim took my call. She tried to get Dr. Gabbaypour to the phone, but was unable to. She said they would call me later that day to set it up. Never heard back. FEBRUARY 18, 2020 - TUESDAY I called Dr. Gabbaypour's office. Spoke with Jessica. Told her I was waiting to hear back. She tried to get Dr. Gabbaypour to the phone, but was also unable to. She said they would call me later or tomorrow. Never heard back from them. FEBRUARY 22 - FEBRUARY 29 OUT OF TOWN. Never heard from Dr. Gabbaypour. I've never had to call a doctor's office repeatedly to schedule a surgery. This did not instill the confidence I needed for this. I moved on and started the process over again. MARCH 3, 2020TUESDAY I meet new dentis t, who refers me to his oral surgeon. I explained to him what I just went through with Dr. Gabbaypour. He assured me his surgeon would return calls. MARCH 4, 2020 WEDNESDAY I meet new oral surgeon. He was personable and thorough. He took his own set of panoramic x-rays. (Another $300 hit)Because this tooth's resorption was advancing, current x-rays would be better than even ones from two weeks earlier. Basically reiterated what Dr. Gabbaypour said about my tooth. He gave me the option of anesthesia or local. He was confident a local numbing was all I needed and the extraction/bone graft was fairly routine. So I scheduled surgery for Saturday March 14, 2020. SAME DAY - I filed a grievance against Dr. Gabbaypour with Delta Dental against to get the $300 credited back to my insurance pool. MARCH 13, 2020 - FRIDAY Delta Dental denied my grievance since Dr. Gabbaypour actually did provide the x-rays. I called Dr. Gabbaypour's office. Spoke with Vicky in billing. I relayed all of the above and asked that my $300 be returned. She said things have been crazy in the last week with the Coronavirus. I reminded her that this was a month ago before the virus panic occurred. She went to get Dr. Gabbaypour and this time he came to the phone. Before I could say a word, he asked if I got my flipper and that I could have surgery on Monday. I told him that I already having surgery the next day and that I would like my $300 x-ray money returned as his office dropped the ball. Then, he asked why my new surgeon didn't request his x-rays. As stated above, I said because it had been two weeks and my resorption was aggressive, so he needed current x-rays. I asked why his office didn't call me back as it was my intention to have him do the surgery. Then, Dr. Gabbaypour disclosed that he had been in and out of the office in the last month because a close family member had been diagnosed with a life ending disease. I'm not revealing which family member or what condition because it wasn't my business to know in the first place and isn't my place to divulge private information publicly. He apologized that his office dropped the ball, but would not return my insurance money. He had an opportunity to do the right thing, and elected not to. He again offered to do the surgery which made no sense. Never give someone a third chance to do what they were supposed to do two times before. He may get five stars for his surgical skills, but he gets zero stars for conducting business in unprofessional manner. The original was too large for yelp, but not too large for the State Medical Board where a copy of this is headed. read more
