I came to Dr.Morissette after doing some research on mole removal. I found that he has a unique…read moreradio wave technology that leaves minimal scarring. The only Doctor to offer this in all of Ventura county! For my facial mole, scarring was a huge concern for me which led me to never remove it as I was told by dermatologists that they could "only cut it off" which would result in an unpredictable outcome and that "the scar would look worse than the actual mole". After doing more research on radio wave technology I decided to make an appointment for a consultation. Everyone in the office is not only welcoming but professional. The Doctor was very attentive and answered all of my questions. I then scheduled the procedure. The procedure went smoothly and virtually painless, with the help of anesthetic. I was given Silagen gel (scar cream and SPF) to use 3 days later. THIS STUFF IS AMAZING. The first 3 days I just had to use Neosporin. The first 1-2 weeks I had some scabbing form, which is totally normal and expected. After the scabs healed, about 2 weeks post op, I looked like a totally different person. All my friends and family were shocked to see HOW GOOD "it" looked :). I am almost 30 years old so it was quite the change after so many years! After the procedure I went in for a 10 day post op appointment and a 6 week (what was supposed to be a month) post op appointment. All 4 appointments in total were wonderful and the staff was always accommodating with rescheduling and always got back to me in a timely manner. It's now 2 months post-op and my face continues to heal in that area. The Silagen gel which I apply twice daily has done wonders and each week I see an improvement in the smoothness and reduction in redness. With makeup on you can barely tell anything is there. The area is just a little pink but with continued use of the gel I know that it will get better and become even with my skin tone. I am SO SO SO SO happy that I went through with this procedure. I have more confidence and I feel more comfortable in every aspect of my life. If you have a facial mole that has been of concern and are hesitant to have it removed due to scarring, I highly recommend Dr.Morrisette and his special use of radio wave technology! BUT the most important thing is to take care of the area diligently, use the Silagen gel and SPF, and stay out of the sun! The sun is your enemy for scarring!

First off the receptionist is absolutely atrocious, she has no idea what she's talking about and makes you feel horrible. Dr. Morissette does what the patient wants not what's best for the patient.

May God help you if you ever need treatment from Dr. Siavash. My experience with him was…read morefrustrating and deeply disappointing, marked by substandard care, poor communication, and a complete disregard for a treatment plan that should have ensured a proper recovery with relative ease. Had he done what the ER doctor initially recommended when assessing my fractured mandible, I wouldn't be dealing with the complications I now face. On December 16, 2024, I suffered a fractured mandible and was initially treated at Saint John's Pleasant Valley Hospital. The ER physician diagnosed it as a clean break and informed me that it should have been easily corrected with an open reduction procedure. When I consulted Dr. Siavash on December 26, 2024, he ignored the recommended approach, instead describing my injury as "shattered"--a completely different diagnosis than what the ER physician had told me. For reasons I cannot comprehend, Dr. Siavash was completely against performing the open reduction procedure, even though it was the clear, logical, and medically sound approach to correcting my injury. Instead, he **wired my jaws together for four weeks**, ignoring the need to properly set the mandible at the fracture site. This decision led to predictable complications, including malunion and malocclusion--complications that should never have happened if he had followed a standard surgical approach. His consultation lasted only 8-12 minutes after I waited over two hours in the examination room to see him. Given the seriousness of my injury, I expected thorough attention and care, yet I received rushed, dismissive treatment. Even more shockingly, when I asked if he wanted my dental records before the operation, he dismissed the idea entirely and instead asked me to "just send a picture of me smiling." How does a trained maxillofacial surgeon ignore critical records and opt for a casual photo instead? This is jaw surgery, not a cosmetic consultation. Adding to my frustration, Dr. Siavash was the only option available to me through Ventura County Health Care Plan (VCHCP), meaning I had no opportunity to seek a second opinion within the network. Later, another surgeon's office informed me that Dr. Siavash doesn't even treat trauma-related injuries, raising serious concerns about why he was entrusted with my case in the first place. Because of his poorly executed treatment plan, I am now accruing additional billing expenses from VCHCP as I seek proper treatment to correct the avoidable damage his surgical approach caused. His refusal to perform the correct procedure resulted in lasting complications that never should have occurred. His negligence and unwillingness to follow the standard, medically recommended approach call into question his competency as a maxillofacial surgeon. The errors he made were not minor--they were completely avoidable, predictable, and unacceptable for a specialist in his field. No patient should ever have to endure such carelessness and disregard for their well-being. Dr. Siavash had every opportunity to fix my jaw correctly, and he failed. Instead of following the standard procedure, he ignored the best approach and left me with permanent complications. To put it simply, in golfer's terms, he had an easy putt to make, and he tried to sink it with a nine iron. At this point, I want my treatment to be managed by a different physician--one who understands the importance of proper jaw function and precision in surgical care. Given my experience, I firmly believe that Dr. Siavash should no longer be considered a trusted maxillofacial specialist within the Ventura County Health Care Plan (VCHCP). If you need a surgeon who prioritizes precision, thoroughness, and patient outcomes, I strongly urge you to seek an alternative specialist. Do not trust him with your care. He blew it and I am paying the price for his negligence, or worse.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I was a patient at Ventura Center for Dental Health for more than 20 years…read more Earlier this year, I learned of a serious diagnosis noted in my medical record when the office manager shared my HIPPA-protected health information spontaneously and without my consent. VCDH staff never mentioned this diagnosis nor bothered to provide appropriate treatment. Shortly before that, I happened to inquire about an unexpected, non-consensual charge to my account, and must have unintentionally said something that upset one or more of the staff members. From then on, I was treated deplorably by the staff, who demonstrated a total lack of ethics, professionalism, and common decency. For example, the office manager and patient care coordinator both engaged in surreptitious patient abandonment (highly unethical and likely illegal) by repeatedly lying about having no appointments available. I immediately suspected their dishonesty, but the office manager continued to lie when I asked if there was any issue. When I confronted the patient care coordinator after acquiring proof of their lies, the response was "I just do what I'm told."

My experience with this dentist was the worst ever. I found him to be arrogant and disrespectful…read more He humiliated me in front of his staff by shrugging his shoulders after I asked him what could be done about the ill fitting bridge he placed in my mouth! When I explained I had been biting my tongue and my cheek, he told me "that's a soft tissue issue" and told me to go to a periodontist! From the minute he placed this bridge, I told him it was too big! It was uncomfortable and I felt like I had a wad of gum behind my front teeth, and it even flew out of my mouth at a Christmas party last year! I waited six months to see if it felt any better and when it did not, I went to another dentist for a consultation. He agreed the bridge did not fit well and even contacted Dr. Babbitt to see if he would refund my money so it could be done properly. Dr. Babbitt refused to give even a partial refund and believed his work was perfect. Now, almost one year later, I need a root canal on one of the abutment teeth because the bridge does not fit right and bacteria made its way inside. I have been in excruciating pain for two weeks now as I try to gather the money for a root canal and another bridge. Lastly, my roots were exposed and I noticed they were discolored. I was told by Dr. Babbitt this was caused by brushing too hard and that it was just discoloration. I was NEVER told that what was actually happening was that my roots were decaying due to dry mouth caused by daily use of Flonase! He even said that because you couldn't see my gums when I smile, it isn't something that needed to be fixed. Had he emphasized that my roots were decaying at an alarming rate and I would need to fix the problem sooner than later, I would have made that priority and NOT gotten the bridge that I really didn't need.

I finally got up and asked how much longer it was going to be. The 3 staff members looked clueless, and simply said the Dr. was in surgery and sometimes it runs long. I sat back down, and coincidentally, I was called up within minutes to be escorted to a treatment room. The nurse there was friendly, however, the dentist was NOT. He came in, didn't offer to shake hands, or introduce himself. He mumbled his last name, and sat down. As I explained my situation to him, he simply just stared at me - he looked annoyed. After I was done, he got up and said I needed a CT scan, and he left. I was shocked how unfriendly he was. Every dentist I've ever been to understands the importance of customer service!
