I just had a surgery implant and I have to say doctor Dr. Mark Urata was amazing. He was very patient may sure was numb and comfortable before surgery. I felt very little pain and the best part he was done within 30 minutes. I also like that after surgery they show an X-ray Showing the placement of the implant which Dr.Mark was right on point. I last thing I'll mention is office Receptionist Beta was very helpful in explaining everything before surgery and didn't have me waiting very long. read more

The doctor is real down to earth, great bedside manners. I was really nervous coming here to get a tooth extracted. When they asked me how I'm doing, I said "I'm nervous." They took my blood pressure and it was high. She said, you are nervous, . A not so pleasant experience for what it is, but I was treated well and my questions were answered. read more

Back of Office to front of office. Exceptional... Doctor Urata is incredibly talented. He took me on after multiple referral turn downs due to my complex issue. I am so very grateful for them all. Beeta the office manager is soo kind , as well as the booking agent Sahar. Also Doc Urata assistant ( I believe her name is Vicki?) is also always a pleasure to be around. Grateful to them all. !!! read more

To say Dr. Odono is good is an understatement. She is remarkable! Her precision and calm demeanor made the tooth extraction a very positive experience. I credit my healing to her good work and of course following her after care instructions. I am so grateful I got to go to Dr. Odono. If I had to do it again (which I hope I don't) I would defiantly go back to her. read more

Dr Urata and Hammoudeh were talented, caring and thoughtful through my dental implant. The RN staff were kind and comforting and Beeta the office manager is helpful and accommodating and very kind. Would recommend to anyone for oral surgery procedures! Thank you all! read more

Dr. Hammoudeh is such a professional, spent time explaining the procedure and treatment plan. We have seen him at both the Glendale and Mission Hills Offices, depending on our availability. Beeta in the front office made our visits seamless and was extremely accommodating given our busy schedules. The offices are clean and bright, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. H and his staff. read more

November 7, 2024 November 7, 2024 Dr. Hammoudeh is fabulous! He is outstanding and his kindness with my oral surgery procedure go beyond words. I have ONJ of the jaw. I traveled 180 miles for an exemplary surgeon. Upon arrival to the office, he entered the room with smile and he stated I can take care of your situation. He is transparent and easy to understand for my diagnosis. I had no anxiety for the upcoming procedure. Dr. Hammoudeh makes the patient feel comfortable with the forthcoming procedure. The office and medical staff are exceptional. The appointments and surgery scheduling are done in a speedy process. Dr. Hammoudeh and his team are truly exceptional. His desire is to give the best care possible to his patients, Following my ONJ procedure I left the surgery center, no swelling, no gauze in my mouth and no pain. I had a week post op appt with an additional follow up appointment in 6 weeks. Wow, I was impressed. He truly cares with my outcome. I am forever grateful to all! I highly recommend this facility. A very compassionate oral surgeon. Thank you Dr. Hammoudeh. Best, Debra G Best, Debra G. read more

I had a molar extracted: no excessive bleeding (only used the one gauze that the doctor placed and I removed 1.5HRS later), no pain and no swelling. I was really impressed by the expertise and having no recovery issues. The front office, assistants and doctor were all kind, compassionate, respectful and I felt safe (big deal after childhood dental traumas lol). Thank you GSA. read more

I've been waiting for an hour and they still say I have to wait And I'm with my 11 month baby She's crying And they saying me wait read more

The care and quality of the Glendale Surgical Center is absolutely amazing. I needed oral surgery to get an implant. Dr Hammoudeh has got to be the best oral surgeon you could ever hope for and more. His caring demeanor, warmth and confidence in his skills made my experience anxiety and stress free. The office manager Beeta and dental assistants made everything easy and comfortable. I feel in love with everyone. read more

Dr Hammoudeh has helped me with two implants. He is kind patient and articulately explains everything in understandable language. He tells me what is going on at each step of the process and there are no surprises. His procedures are fast and painless. The X-ray technician and administrative staff are professional, personable, and highly competent. The facility is fancier than most dental offices. Feels like you're treated better than average because everything is better than what you'd normally find. If I could give more than five stars, I definitely would. read more

Glendale Surgical Associates - Oral Surgeons Near Me - Glendale, California

Dr. Urata and his entire team are truly amazing. I underwent a fairly complex surgery that involved the removal of a tumor and reconstruction of my mandible and a second surgery for additional bone grafting and could not be happier with the results. Dr. Urata is extremely knowledgeable in his field and I feel very grateful to have had him perform the surgeries. In addition to the great outcome, Dr. Urata and his team answered all of the questions I had which was very comforting and have been very thorough with aftercare. Beeta in the front office has been exceptionally helpful in answering questions and coordinating care every step of the way. Sahar was also very helpful in coordinating the treatment plans and answering questions. Dr. Cho assisted Dr. Urata in the first surgery and is equally as amazing. I cannot recommend Dr. Urata and the entire Glendale Surgical Associates team enough! read more

This is a letter of complaint for the scheduling at Glendale Surgical Associates. For my son's wisdom teeth extraction, I called to confirm his appointment, insurance, and time on Thursday, 6/15. At that time, I was told the time of the surgery would be Monday 6/19 from 10 am to 12 pm - consult and surgery. I wrote that time down along with my notes from the conversation about what would happen that day. My son spoke to a representative on Friday and also confirmed the 10 am appointment. He said the person he spoke to tried to switch the time to 8 am, but he told them it needed to be at 10 am. Specifically, they said, "would you like to still come in at 10, or would you like to come in at 8", to which he said "I'd like to come in at 10 am." His girlfriend was in the car with him when he received this call to witness this interaction. On Monday morning 6/19 at 8:07 am, he got a call saying we were late to the appointment and needed to be there in 10 minutes. We are in Granada Hills and there's no way we could get to Glendale at that time. Upon hearing this, the receptionist canceled the appointment and said the next available date was July 31. When I called back to see if there was anything that could be done, the receptionist insisted that she spoke with my son personally confirming the appointment at 8 am; he stated he did speak to her, and the appointment was at 10 am. I think the lack of a follow up email and automated call reminder is the challenge here. I would blame the receptionist (who was condescending about the situation and was even talking over me as I was trying to ask questions), but I feel there is a process breakdown here. The whole situation was a negative one. Both my son and I took time off of work for this appointment, and there was a complete lack of sympathy for this situation. If we had received some sort of compassion from the staff, since at the end of the day, my son is in pain, then the situation would have been a little more bearable, and I would not have felt compelled to write this letter. But I feel I need to help other families so they don't experience this issue. At the end of the day, there are other surgical centers who will take my son, so I immediately called another one and made an appointment for next week. read more

I was recommended here by my primary dentist as I needed to have my four wisdom teeth pulled, my dentist recommended two other offices before this location but both were 6-8 weeks out. So I tried my luck with this place, I called to make an appointment and it went through some other office because this location was closed for a few days. I was told I'd receive a call in a week max confirming my appointment and insurance coverage...my appointment was set for three weeks out so I figured okay. I had to call them the Friday before my surgery (they're closed weekends) to confirm my appointment for the following Monday and to ask about the portion my insurance would cover...the lady I spoke to seemed irritated and said something along the lines of "I haven't gotten to my Monday appointments I'll call you when I get there" okay....she calls a couple of hours later and then tells me that my surgery is going to be treated as if I don't have coverage since we don't know how much they'll cover blah blah blah. That Monday morning I handed them $2100 in cash and have since waited for any kind of communication from them, I finally called them today 10/18/21 almost a month after my surgery and almost three weeks after my insurance sent them a check for $1807. The first receptionist I spoke with confirmed that the check was mailed out recently and for the amount of $1600ish which was weird considering I paid for everything out of pocket. She said she would have someone give me a call back in a bit, what I got was a woman by the name vial or something along those lines who was VERY CONDESCENDING, you know the type the kind who are rude while being "nice and profesional" in the end I wish I would've gone with the first two places my dentist recommended. Glad it's over with and I won't need to come back to this shady location. read more

Glendale Surgical Associates - Got billed for another X-ray which is crazy because I had X-rays done a week before and my dentist said they shared them with this office. - Oral Surgeons Near Me - Glendale, California

I had a painful and unusual case of tori, which required surgery. My dentist referred me to his preferred doctor to perform the procedure. That doctor wouldn't do it, because it was too complicated and risky with potentially dangerous side effects. I met with an Oral Medicine & Pathology specialist, who examined me for an hour. He said Dr. Urata was the surgeon I needed for a procedure this delicate. He was right! Dr. Urata did an amazing job, eliminating my problem with none of the dangerous side effects that I had been warned about. Also, the office manager, Beeta, along with Dr. Urata's assistants, Susana and Victoria, were all wonderful. read more

I couldn't make an appointment at the Glendale office neither through online appointment nor called leaving couple messages during their office hours. There are no reply email nor back call. What else can I do ? read more

The surgical staff was outstanding during my implant surgery on December 9th. Pre-surgery, surgery, and after surgery the oral surgeon and anesthesiologist were awesome along with the rest of the staff. I highly recommend this business. read more

This surgery office provided phenomenal service and care to my grandfather Jerry Podesta. I recommend seeing Dr. Lauren Odono. The oral surgeon and anesthesiologist were also exceptional. read more

We have never received better care from anywhere else. Dr. Hammoudeh, his assistant Susana, and Beeta the office manager have created an environment so warm and friendly that going to an oral surgeon is actually a pleasant experience. Even as I write this it's hard to believe but if I'm ever in the neighborhood I would drop by just to see them. The treatment was epic and the confidence and trust beyond belief. I am blessed to have been recommended to this awesome practice and cannot speak highly enough about the experience. read more

I think this is the first time i have ever left a review on Yelp. I had a tooth extracted and was HORRIFIED to do so. My doctor was Mark Urata who immediately put me at ease and explained all that would happen. After a few shots, the tooth was out in about 8 minutes. It was completely painless and that was it!!! Easy Peasy!!! I highly recommend this place!!! read more

I had been regularly sent to a very expensive oral surgery near Pasadena. Then I needed extensive extraction work and implants. I found Dr. Yamashita through a referral. He is former head of Maxio-facial surgery at USC, yet is modest, funny and reassuring. There's a real dearth of options on the East Side and Dr. Y is a real find! His office staff is friendly and efficient and his pricing is very fair. If he could clone himself, he's what every oral surgeon should be if you have to go through this challenging experience. read more

I called a bunch of dental offices in Burbank hoping to find a place that accepted my insurance and could extract my 4 wisdom teeth. I'm sad to say I don't remember which office referred me to Glendale Surgical, but I am grateful that they did. My phone interactions with Beeta were informative and comforting. She does her job very well and answered all my questions. Because of her, I scheduled my consultation with Dr. Hammoudeh. Dr. Hammoudeh was very thorough in making sure I understood the process, complications, etc. He addressed any concerns I had before and after my extraction. He even offered his cell number to me in case I had questions after hours. Vicky adds a comical relief to the process which I appreciated. She was very professional with my X-Rays and follow ups. If you're reading this, don't hesitate to give them a call. You only have 4 wisdom teeth (if at all) so enjoy your visits at this office while you can ;) read more

I recently had a fairly large and complicated tori removal and was very apprehensive about the surgery. Thanks to Dr. Odono and her expertise, I had no pain or swelling, which was something short of a miracle! I am so grateful to her and the caring staff. From Beeta, the manager, to the nursing and front desk staff - everyone was super supportive and responsive. I can't recommend them enough! read more

My husband had major jaw surgery here - jaw broken in 5 places then realigned to correct an underbite and breathing issues. The team here is AMAZING. Dr Hammoudeh's skill is out of this world and he's so patient with any and all questions before and after surgery. The team (Dr. Odono scrubbed in with him, Beeta in the office and Sahar related to scheduling and insurance stuff) are so thorough. They are willing to help with anything from insurance approvals to questions and concerns. Everyone works together for an amazing experience. This was something we were so worried about doing and a year later my husband's only regret was that he didn't do it sooner. His face and smile looks amazing and his bite and eating as well as breathing and is significantly improved. Cannot recommend this enough. When my son is ready for his wisdom teeth to be removed this is where we are going without a second thought. read more

Glendale Surgical Associates - Business Card - Oral Surgeons Near Me - Glendale, California

I went here a few months back for fillers because I was feeling a bit worn after a couple of years of illness. Dr.Urata was super personable and not only answered all my completely annoying questions but did so with a smile and humor. It definitely made me feel better because I was extremely anxious and didn't know what to expect. His entire team was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I see myself going back in the future. I recommend this office to anyone who wants top level care and know that their doctor truly wants the best for them. read more

Absolutely the most unprofessional unreliable place of medicine I have been to. The office manager Sahar is the most unreliable and unprofessional person you could ever deal with. Good luck trying to get anyone on the phone to schedule any time of procedure. Also, they do not take any insurance and claim they are only out of pocket. I do NoT recommend this place for any procedure. Stay away read more

I would highly recommend this place to anyone! read more

My son needed 4 wisdom teeth and 1 extra tooth pulled. We consulted with another oral surgeon and he wanted to do two separate surgeries, pulling the 4 wisdom teeth one time and the 1 extra tooth in a separate surgery. This would entail my son going under twice. I have reservations about my son going under too many times so I looked for a second opinion. I consulted with Glendale Surgical Associates, which was recommended by my general dentist. I am so happy I did. Dr. Hammoudeh carried out the surgery just once, pulling all 5 teeth. It was an efficient and quick procedure and his bedside manners were excellent. Dr. Hammoudeh is highly knowledgeable and experienced. I felt comfortable putting my son in his hands for the surgery. The office was also professional, particularly Beeta and Sahar. I cannot be happier with the whole experience. I'm thankful to have found this place for my son - it's a hidden gem. read more

I am a 17 year old kid who just got his wisdom teeth done about 2 hours ago. Everyone there was very welcoming and kind, especially Dr. Mark Urata. On top of being very professional, he was one of the funniest people I have ever met. He calmed my nerves a lot and everything went very smoothly as he promised. I don't know exactly why, but I would love to go to vegas with him when I'm older. read more

I feel very fortunate to have found this dental office through my father's assisted living facility. My elderly dad needed some oral surgery and the staff and doctors at GSA were incredible! Beeta, in the front office, went above and beyond to help me coordinate my father's dental care and she clearly communicated everything that was going on and the costs. A total professional. My father received excellent care from the doctor who extracted his tooth. Highly recommend! read more

I cannot thank Dr. Hammoudeh and his staff enough for the care and compassion they showed our family. My kids are pediatric heart patients, so anesthesia is a frightening prospect. Beeta helped us work with our dental and medical insurance companies as well at CHLA to arrange to safely remove their wisdom teeth in the hospital where they could be appropriately monitored​. They never gave up fighting to make it happen, even when it took weeks to negotiate it all. I am so grateful to have found this wonderful group of people. read more

Wonderful experience from start to finish. Every person was warm, friendly and welcoming. COVID-19 protocols were easy to follow and made you feel safe. From front desk to doctors in surgery the entire staff is just great and fun. They really take the time to get to know you, your needs and answer any questions you may have prior to performing surgery. Quick follow-up a week or two after the surgery to make sure everything is healing well and you're back to your normal day-to-day. Thank you to the entire staff for making my experience (a few months ago now - sorry for the delay in posting the review) top notch! Highly recommend! read more

I feel so lucky to have found this place! I called the office early morning to schedule an appointment for my 2 wisdom teeth extraction and their receptionist was so accommodating & friendly. She scheduled me right away on the same day knowing that my other tooth was aching. When I came to the office, the receptionist was nice & friendly. After few minutes, I met the doctor's assistant and assisted me to the room. She was very compassionate and kind throughout the whole procedure! Then the doctor came in... Dr. Hammoudeh is the best oral surgeon I've ever met my whole life. He asked me about my concerns & problems and from there he was patient enough to explain me all the pros and cons, what to expect, and all about the procedure when extracting a wisdom tooth. Before the procedure, my anxiety level was 100% and I was feeling nervous and shaking but Dr. Hammoudeh made me feel calm and reassured me that everything will be okay. During the procedure, he was continuously reassuring me that everything looked just fine and good, that way my anxiety level went down from 100% to 0%. And after few minutes, the procedure was finally done! I was super happy that I found a doctor like him who's very gentle with his patients especially like me who's very anxious and scared of tooth extraction. Very kind doctor and very knowledgeable. Im very thankful for him and for his assistant! Now my 2 wisdom teeth were finally removed by the best oral surgeon! The service & my experience were really amazing!!! Don't ever think twice to book for an appointment, just call now and they will happily assist you with any of your concerns!!! read more

Dr. Cho sent me to this location for a CT scan. I would like to comment that Sharon and Susana were very friendly, accommodating, and efficient. No appointment was necessary and they assisted me as soon as I arrived. My initial appointment was with the office in Arcadia. Everyone there was also very friendly and professional. Dr. Cho seems highly skilled and is also very personable. I will follow up with another review following the completion of dental procedures. read more

I came to Dr. Hammoudeh with a fractured tooth. He took a highly diagnostic x-ray of my tooth and confirmed the fracture, and with profound local anesthesia, he removed the tooth within a matter of 1-2 minutes. He was professional, efficient, painless. I did not have to take any pain meds, and the site is healing well. I would highly recommend Dr. Hammoudeh and the entire staff at Glendale Surgical Associates. read more

This place rocks. Beeta and Victoria were awesome and Dr Yamashida is a first class professional. Great sense of humor. Great "bedside manner" and superb surgeon. The entire procedure took (extract #2 tooth) 30 minutes and was about as clean as it could have been. Very little bleeding. Very little post-surgical discomfort. read more
