Got my wisdom teeth removed here 3 weeks ago and it was a very positive experience. I had never…read morebeen put under before, so I was extremely nervous, but the women who were there while I was being set up were so compassionate and kind to me. I was shaking and crying on the day of, but they did an amazing job helping me calm down, and one of them in particular talked me through all the way until I was out. I have other health issues, and the surgeon was receptive and thorough in acknowledging them and made me feel comfortable and confident that there would be no complications. I was put under with no issues, and I only had swelling and bruising on one side from one of the teeth, the rest healed well with hardly any swelling and no further bruising at all. When the numbing first wore off, I started feeling a lot of pain and they filled pain meds for me with no question, but the pain died down shortly after and I didn't end up needing more than tylenol and advil. I was able to follow the instructions they gave and had zero complications. My top sockets have already filled in and the bottom ones are on their way as well. I was able to keep my wisdom teeth through adulthood because I didn't have any complications until I started having health issues, and even then, I still kept them in 1 or 2 years longer than I probably should have. I was completely avoiding it due to the nerves so I really appreciate this team for taking such good care of me! Thank you!

And Dr. Cline-Fortunado did a thorough exam before making any recommendations, and was very honest and respectful when presenting my options. In addition, the office is clean, modern, and soothing. Nobody loves going in for a dental surgery, but honestly, they made the experience quite pleasant.

My daughter had an OK experience with her wisdom teeth extraction…read more However, the office staff is extremely unprofessional. Several months after the surgery they sent me a bill for therapeutic medication they gave at the surgery. When I initially called to ask about the bill they told me they would work it out with the insurance company. Then a few days later Maranda started texting, emailing, and calling me about the charge over the course of a few hours. I asked for details in writing and she described about $1 worth of meds they wanted $155 for. I am not surprised insurance denied the claim given the excessive charge. Based on this experience I do not recommend them at all. It is not worth the trouble of getting harassed during your work day over a ridiculous charge.

I used to love and swear by this dentist until I learned the truth. When I had to change insurance…read moreand get a new dentist, they were flabbergasted by how shoddy their work is. The nightguard that Dr. Kaur gave me had been so improper that it was damaging my teeth and causing the front teeth to chip and crack. I was actually asked if I had gotten this nightguard from a different country, that's how slapdash it was. When I came in to ask for a refund to at least get some kind of moral mea culpa from them (this nightguard costs $735ish before insurance, according to the receptionist, but replacing a tooth is easily ten times that much, so it would be a drop in the ocean compared to the damage done to my mouth) I kept getting the runaround about things being "subjective". Then when I wasn't dissuaded I got an appointment with the doctor to talk it over, which I assumed would just be them trying to convince me my new dentist is a con artist, doesn't know anything, etc. And lo and behold, no surprise that's exactly what the appointment was about. No refunds, and that I should consider myself lucky my mouth guard even lasted this long. Now instead of things being "subjective" it was preposterous and no dentist in their right mind would say such a thing. Yeah, I'm sure my board-certified TMJ specialist was just making it up, while the dentist who made the device in question has no room for doubt. I mean I'm pretty sure they even made sure to CYOA by asking to take a look at my mouthguard so they could do an official "reply from the owner" here with something like "Actually when you came in we proved your teeth were already broken and we didn't do anything wrong-" and try to make other people reading this think I'm not being accurate. They tried to say my current dentist must be a scammer for charging around $1100 for an occlusal guard and that must be why. But I called around town and most dentists are in the 1000 dollar ballpark for guards. The only ones who quoted me lower than 900 were quick and clear to point out "that's just a base price, we increase it if it's more complex, and it'll probably involve exams too". Oh and if that wasn't enough, Dr. Kaur insisted the receptionist had just been mistaken and that actually it was only $300, and that I should be counting myself lucky to have gotten such a good deal - as if I care about saving money when it means breaking my teeth. While this is mostly what I'm pissed off about today, in the last few years I got the same fillings done on my teeth again and again from these people, while the filling I got ages ago from my paleolithic-era dentist in Mountain View is still holding strong. So I'll ask again who the real scammer is. And just as a funny aside, while I was waiting in the office, there was a guy at the front desk who showed up for his appointment, only to find out it had been canceled, despite having confirmed it. It turns out that the front desk just relies entirely on the automated system with no verification, had somehow sent another confirmation to the wrong number, and canceled his appointment. Obviously this doesn't impact my own experience, but it does make one question why there are so many screwups in one office. In one day. At the same hour.
