I went in to get a molar removed after a terrible experience with another dentist. The consultation…read morewent great, they moved the schedule to get me in faster and told me that they were going to give me pain meds to last until the surgery and a Valium for an hour before the operation. The dentist also told me two times in the consultation that after the surgery they would give me strong pain meds regardless. They gave me tramadol for the week, even with my tooth rotted and the nerves exposed. I think to myself whatever, maybe it's normal to give a minor pain med for major pain before surgery. The day before the surgery, my fiancé called and asked if we get the Valium from them, because they didn't send a prescription, and the lady acted confused and like we were trying to swindle them for a single Valium, when they didn't give me a prescription at all. So, I go in for my surgery today with no Valium, which they seemed very confused about (again, I can't stress enough how they just forgot to give me the prescription and said "oh well"). I'm mortified of surgery and my anxiety was through the roof so I was already irritated and terrified. The operation went fine and dandy and the doctor told my fiancé that we would be leaving with a prescription, which would be the 3rd time this was said. When I came to the lobby we were ushered out by an older woman. I told this woman three times before we left that I was supposed to get a prescription for medicine. She said no every time and to call back if it gets really bad (really? I just had a molar pulled). So of course, it gets bad, and my fiancé calls. The lady who answered the phone said that we should have left with a prescription for Norcos. She placed her on hold and got back on the line saying that she was sending tramadol to the pharmacy for pick up. I'm still in extreme pain, and there's nothing that they will do. At the end of the day, they'll do a damn good job of pulling the tooth, but they will absolutely give you the shaft if you're getting Anastasia, both before and after. If you're a masochist then this is the place for you. If you're like me and loathe tooth pain, do yourself a favor and go somewhere where they actually care if you're in pain or not.

I was going in for a root canal with oral sedation and I was there for less than 10 minutes before…read morethis man (the dentist) was telling me it was time to begin the procedure. Not only did the medicine not kick in yet because I had taken it upon arrival but I also have anxiety with dental work so I was really reliant on that medication to help me be somewhat unconscious. As I was not ready yet because the medicine had not hit yet, I was told that it was taking too long and that the procedure was not going to happen. You could tell the dentist was just tired of waiting and was trying to rush the process because he had other patients coming in. Do not recommend, especially if you don't favor spending money on a sedation method to ease your anxiety just to be given little to no time for it to actually work.

My mother's experience with Topeka Oral Surgery was one of the worst medical encounters we've had…read more I was in the room for the entire extraction. The dentist was rough and impatient; my mother was making noises from pain and clearly distressed. I stayed quiet to avoid escalating the situation, but the lack of compassion and gentle technique was obvious. During the procedure an assistant walked in from another room without gloves, handed the dentist an instrument, and he immediately placed it in my mother's mouth -- shocking and completely unsanitary. After the extraction my mother was left in severe pain. The assistant told us she had sent the prescriptions for pain medication and antibiotics, but when we went to the pharmacy nothing had been submitted. We waited in the parking lot for over an hour until the office returned from lunch and finally sent the scripts. This delay and the poor communication showed a dangerous lack of urgency for a patient in pain. Additionally, they kept my mother's original partials and never returned them despite requests. Given how unprofessional the process was, I have reason to suspect those partials may be reused or resold -- which would be both unethical and unsafe. These offices appear to coordinate with Michel Dental next door who referred my mother to them; my mother later received dentures from that practice that did not fit at all (oversized upper plate, uneven and painful lower plate). The combined experience felt exploitative and disrespectful. This was negligent, unsanitary, and deeply upsetting. I strongly recommend seeking care elsewhere -- find a provider who values hygienic practice, clear communication, and basic respect for patients, especially seniors.

If you must brave oral surgery then you would do well to visit Dr. Spear's, Topeka Oral Surgery…read more Usually a visit to the dentist for oral surgery is a somber experience but not here. There classic rock wafting throughout the office as you're greeted by a team who wrote the book on customer service. When you walk in to the room where you will meet the dentist, you will immediately notice the pastoral landscape from the giant picture window. The experience was pleasant even when i was numbed with three needles. Dr. Spear has a sharp but delightful sense of humor and there's no need for laughing gas when you have a Dentist with humor like this. Meg, his dental assistant is wonderful as well as she will reassure you all throughout the procedure. When it was finished a saw another assistant through the picture window feeding the wildlife as i stared through the big glass window. Squirrels, rabbits and birds were being cared for and you will be too. Cheers!

Dr…read more Ranjbar, besides being a gentle, sincere, and funny man, runs an unparalleled family ortho practice. The staff is sensational, the office generally runs a prompt timeline (read: not like a doctor's office), so if your appointment is at 4:15, you can be sure that if you're on time, then they will be, too. This was my second go-round with Dr. Ranjbar's exemplary work. The contract for a garden-variety set of braces/services can be broken into payments, and it is a one-price-for-most-everything agreement. Your 'patient' is even issued a top-notch electric toothbrush upon fitting! You will have to make regular checkup appointments, be adjusted periodically, and get the exceptional, professional attention that Dr. Ranjbar provides each patient. Need to schedule in advance or reschedule at the last minute? Need an unscheduled visit for breakage or adjustment? No problem! The staff works to fit your needs and is persistent with electronic reminders and communication. While it did not happen to us (yet), I have heard other parents tell stories of off-hours visits where Dr. Ranjbar took care of their patient as if it were a regular visit. There is a reason that 'Ranjbar' is so well known in this area, and it has almost everything to do with the consistent top results that he produces. I INVESTED in my daughter's oral health and beautiful smile, and Dr. Ranjbar delivered beyond any expectation that we had.
