Dr. Chavez patiently listened to my concerns and walked me through each step of what he would need to do to prepare my implant (from another Practice) for an implant tooth in a few weeks from my Dentist.

The woman in the front office, Kaelinn, is very kind and polite. However, everything else at this…read moreoffice is a mess. The dentist was pretty dismissive of my concerns at the initial consult for my wisdom teeth removal; I wrote this off as being due to my own nervousness about the procedure. Then, Limchaseng prescribed me medication that I was allergic to, and it took two weeks of (mostly unreturned) phone calls for me to get that straightened out. He claimed that I probably wasn't really allergic, and that it would be fine: I had to insist to get a different medication prescribed. The bigger issue, though, had to do with extremely shady financial dealings. The first thing I had asked was whether they accepted my insurance; I was assured over and over again that they did. Then, when I came in to pay the deposit, they did a complete bait and switch. They waited until I had paid $600 deposit, and then demanded an additional $3,000 dollars seconds later, and said they would not perform the surgery unless I paid it, claiming that my insurance was unreliable. When I questioned the change, Limchaseng came out and was extremely unprofessional, asking me why I thought it was okay to not pay him and why I thought it was acceptable for him to not pay his staff a living wage(?). This all happened 5 days before my scheduled surgery: I had already taken time off from work, as had my partner, and I really needed to have the procedure done on the scheduled date. Luckily, Novato Oral Surgery had an opening on that date - they were kind, compassionate, and professional, and took excellent care of me. My insurance came through with no problem, and the total out of pocket cost was 1/3 what Limchaseng had initially charged for a "deposit." Also, Limchaseng exclusively hires young women, and calls everyone who works in his office as "his girls." These women seem to be good at their jobs, but the way he refers to them is very odd and off-putting: adult women are not children. Strongly recommend everyone pay attention to all the negative reviews here and find a different oral surgeon!

She did a "root planing" that took all of 20 minutes, did NOT plane at all - just roamed around in my mouth with a pick but charged my insurer for the planing. Then she did a root canal, she made the crown out of some extruded plastic goo that was hardened using UV light, looked pretty cheesey when she did it and sure enough it failed the next day. Was seeing her for 2 years and I gave some serious thought to filing complaints at the time but did not. It utterly destroyed my trust in dentists, I have literally not seen one since and that has been 13 years ago and have broken/missing teeth. This woman is a crook.

This is one of the worst dental offices I've been to. I went to Dr. Smida regarding wisdom teeth…read moreremoval. Despite the fact that my dentist sent all of my current x-rays, they took more and then did a cone beam x-ray. All Dr. Smida had to say was not to remove the wisdom teeth. She sent me a copy of the cone beam report and it stated I had a tooth with pulp resorption which needed to be removed. I called the office to find out if she would take it out and she no. When I called back again to ask how urgent this matter was, I was told the doctor was too busy and to book another appointment to discuss it. I also did an oligoscan which I highly recommend but not at this office. I had some serious irregularities which Dr. Smida said she would have to check with her tutor for a treatment plan. When I spoke to her on the phone, her recommendation was to take epson salt baths. I've spent months researching what I need to do and have found her response to be pathetic. They won't even print the report for you; they email it. But they only email 2 pages even though there are 3 pages. Since I saw the 3 pages in the office, I told them I want the 3rd page which I did eventually get. This office may do the scan, but they sure don't know how to offer a treatment plan to fix the problems. I spent just over a $1,000 - what a waste of money!

I thought I had everything done that I could get done until my dentist Dr. Matt Anderson said after I broke a tooth, "You can avoid having a dental implant if you have a crown lengthening. It may even save you a little money and you get to keep your tooth." I Googled it and started to shake, "The bone above the broken tooth is shaved and therefore lengthened to allow a pin and then a crown to be placed." So Dr. Anderson sent me to Dr. Mercedes Heitman in Petaluma for the bone shearing, and gum surgery event. Not gonna lie, I was NOT looking forward to this at all. Plus I read online the "after" experience could be painful. So the extremely good news is that Dr. Mercedes Heitman and her assistant Madelelyn were amazing. The crown lengthening was carried out with utmost skill and care and I did not have one moment of pain during or after the procedure. This team was constantly checking for my comfort level and reaction. And, Dr. Heitman has something not often seen in the dental world: a sharp wit and polished sense of humor. The women who run the office are equally welcoming and efficient. I cannot recommend Dr. Heitman's work highly enough. You are in good hands with her.
