Dr. Allen is the most professional skilled surgeon I've ever met. My mom had services done here and I've been with her every step of the way from the first consultation, to the surgery in which he provided the most detailed aftercare instructions to ensure my mom healed properly. I'm so glad we were referred to him. read more

Took my daughter to this Dr. for wisdom teeth removal. After an hour and a half Dr. Allen said he could not do it. I was taken out to the parking lot. They were already waiting on an exit door there to hand me my daughter. They handed me a girl with so much anesthesia on her that she did not know what was going on. She was totally distraught. He handed me a prescription for antibiotics because he did cut his gums, but did not extract any of them. They just put her in my vehicle and had me take her back home in that condition. I thought she was dying. Three weeks later another doctor performed a successful extraction of all her four wisdom teeth in a little bit over an hour. I just wanted to add that Dr Allen called my phone when I first posted a review about our horrible experience in his office. He had already called my daughter, as well. We were both threatened and pressured by Dr Allen to remove the original review. Every time I put him on speaker, he h ung up the phone to avoid being heard by anyone else. My son and my husband heard him threatening to disclose information about my daughter if 9 did not remove the bad review. I should have recorded the condition my daughter was in after this "maxillofacial surgeon" put his hands on her. People go there ready to record anything in case something like this happens again. No, I don't recommend him. Anyone can do a much better job. read more

I was escorted out of Dr John Allen's office today as he stated "I ask too many questions and he doesn't want to treat me" It was after the 4th set of X-rays were taken by his office that I'd questioned because the last were just done 2 .5 mos ago. He said "you seem hostile" as I was quietly waiting for him to review the new pics. I replied, "Hostile?? of course not, I'm frustrated- it's been a year!" He turned around, making eye contact for the first time and said "The girl will come and escort you out!" walking out and closing the door behind him. His assistant "the girl" opened the door from the outside, and walked me through the lobby out of the building!! Dr Jekyl/Mr Hyde This was my 4th consultation, he was a different doctor today than the oral surgeon I'd decided would provide me the best care! everyone has an off day but I can't help but wonder WTH happened read more

John Allen, DMD - You don't think it's because I was wearing this t-shirt do you?? - Oral Surgeons Near Me - Pomona, California

Review based on my overall experience for consultation, bone graft procedure held last 7/26/24 and post-op. Beforehand, Dr Allen explained in detail the procedure and what needed to be done. He wasn't forceful at all. A very pleasant man with gentle hands, thorough and highly professional. Modern, state-of-the-art equipment, impeccably clean office environment and friendly staff. Trust me when I say, I'm a coward when it comes to going to the dentists, but somehow, he assured me that everything will be okay and that, he delivered! Post-op, my mouth was sore for only a short time but under his care, I felt relief. For dental surgery needs, I highly recommend Dr Allen. A caring, true professional! Thank you Dr Catuira for referring him to me! read more

We had such a great experience with Dr. Allen that I wanted to leave a review. Dr Allen did some of my parent's dental work, took my daughter's wisdom teeth out and just last week my son's wisdom teeth. We all had nothing but positive experiences. Dr. Allen's office is very organized and has things down to a science. They are helpful and knowledgeable. Dr. Allen himself is a true professional and extremely nice. He wants to make sure you fully understand everything with your dental work and are comfortable with everything. He answers all your questions and calls to check in on you himself that evening. He supplies his own phone number after hours in case you have questions or concerns. He schedules follow up a week after the wisdom teeth surgery. I took my son to have his teeth pulled and they have a beautiful little waiting room for surgeries with tv, coffee, drinks and breakfast bars. We had no complications with any of our surgeries and felt like we were in great hands. Dr. Allen is that rare combination of professional , skilled, and truly nice. I would highly recommend him. read more

I was very impressed with his office and his work. read more

Thank you Dr. Allen and staff for taking great care of me. I really appreciate Oh well I was treated by you and your office staff.

I have been to see Dr. Allen for two separate procedures. The first was extraction of a lower front incisor that was causing crowding. This was in preparation for Invisalign correction by my orthodontist. The procedure required a bone graft, and he warned me that this was a difficult area due to bone loss (I am in my 60s). Nevertheless, he was confident that it would help me and we went forward. I'm so glad I did! Not only did he do a fantastic job with compassion and skill, but the bone graft went perfectly and I was able to successfully complete the 2 courses of Invisalign -- my teeth are so much better! The second procedure was for a serious infection under an ancient molar root canal. I went back to Dr. Allen because of my first experience. He immediately recognized the seriousness of the infection and got me in quickly for the extraction. Once again, he did the job quickly and beautifully, sparing the bone and making it possible to one day get an implant. And guess who I will see about that? Why, Dr. Allen, of course! read more

Needed an emergency consultation for a wisdom tooth that has decayed into my nerve. First impression was very good. Facility is very nice. Front desk associates were professional and helped me figure out my insurance applicability over the phone and was very responsive and patient, which I appreciated. My consultation visit went smoothly, they got me assessed in a timely manner. Dr.Allen accommodated me due to him having to take an important phone call during our consultation and waved some fees for my inconvenience. He took the time to really go into the details of what we need to be aware of for the procedure . I have my tooth extraction appointment set and will update my review of my actual procedure. read more

Dr. Allen is the most compassionate, kind and genuinely nice man! He has the most wonderful bedside manner. He takes his time with each patient. He takes the time to when meeting new patients to explain what procedure needs to be done. He listens to his patients and answers questions. His office staff are professional and so nice! The office is clean and nicely decorated! Dr. Allen is gifted and truly a healer! I highly recommend him to anyone in need of oral surgery, especially if you have a complicated case! Dr. Allen is excellent!! read more

My primary dentist referred me to Dr. Allen for the extraction of all 4 of my wisdom teeth. For background: my wisdom teeth were not causing any pain, and none of them were impacted. They were, however, badly decayed, and my dentist felt that "saving" the teeth through fillings and the like were not worth the effort. I was told that extractions would avoid issues in the future. Nonetheless, I didn't like the idea of surgery, so I went to the consult with Dr. Allen with some apprehension. The staff began the visit by taking a panoramic x-ray of the entire mouth, and then I was placed in a private room for the consult with Dr. Allen. I was impressed by how Dr. Allen thoroughly reviewed the x-ray, physically examined the teeth, and discussed options. Given my age and general health, Dr. Allen recommended two separate extraction procedures: 2 wisdom teeth extracted on one day, and then the other 2 extracted in a separate procedure after I had recovered from the first procedure. He also recommended deep sedation for both procedures. I grumbled hearing this, not wanting to go through two surgeries, the possibility of complications during each procedure, two recoveries, etc. He also explained that after each procedure, I was looking at 3 to 4 weeks to fully recover. (More grumbling on my part.). Dr. Allen understood my reluctance, and left it up to me as to when (and if) I wanted to schedule the procedures. He was friendly and professional, and did not apply any pressure in terms of making a decision then and there. I left the office with a price quote for the procedures. Some time later, I cleared my calendar and went through with both procedures. I was impressed by how smooth the entire process turned out. Dr. Allen is truly a fine surgeon, utilizing all the latest equipment/technology to ensure my safety and comfort. I also have to say that his office is one of cleanest medical or dental offices I have ever visited. The staff in the front office, and in the back "surgery room", were great. After each procedure, Dr. Allen had prescriptions for antibiotics and different pain meds ready at my local pharmacy. He called my cell the evening after each procedure to see how I was feeling, and to answer questions. And then, a week after each procedure, I returned to his office where I was again put into a consultation room for Dr. Allen to examine the surgery site and confirm that there were no signs of infection or complications. Dr. Allen was "spot on" in terms of the total recovery time, but the pain medicines he prescribed were more than sufficient to manage pain levels. Overall, I am glad I had the extractions done, and grateful that the surgery was performed by Dr. Allen. read more

Started my day feeling confident about my procedure for my wisdom teeth removal appointment I had set for 10am. While waiting an elderly gentleman who was waiting for his wife got ill. The Dr and his staff jumped into action and began checking out the driver of the patient. Dr. Allen was apologetic with the incident and assured me they they would be with me shortly. I was ask to come to the back where I was taken care for my procedure and out in less than 30 minutes. I highly recommend Dr.Allen and his staff read more

I had to get 4 molars removed in order to get braces, 4! As an adult I thought this would be the worst part about braces, but honestly it's been the easiest part thanks to Dr. Allen. The consultation was great and he was informative. Also, he's funny and makes a scary place not so scary. Surgery went well and staff was great. You might be a little loopy after surgery. No pain at all. I'm also a very slow healer but I healed surprisingly fine. And as others have said he provides his cell phone in case of any emergencies. I'm due for wisdom teeth removal and I'm definitely coming back. Even if my insurance doesn't cover this office because it's out of network. I'll gladly pay out of pocket. It's worth it! Now I just need to find a dentist this good. read more

Review for 9/12/18 My daughter had two lower wisdom teeth and two upper primary teeth removed. We went in for a consult and felt very comfortable. Dr. Allen made me and my daughter feel very comfortable - Did a through evaluation and explained the surgery process from start to finish. General Anesthesia is a serious thing and I was very comfortable with him from the beginning. His front staff checked on Insurance coverage and told me our patient portion. Spoke with Claudia a few times on the phone and she was pleasant. On the day of surgery - they were on time. Jessica assisted with check in and making sure my daughter and myself were comfortable. They had a lovely waiting area and the whole office is state of the art. They kept me updated while my daughter was in surgery telling me when she "went under" and when she was done and recovering. Dr. Allen called that night to check on her and offered his cell phone if I had questions after hours. My daughter had minimal swelling overall and the incision area was clean - signs of a good doctor! His bedside manner was impeccable - and I am VERY picky when it comes to doctors. I feel comfortable referring people to him and taking my other daughter there in the future. read more

First timer for Astrids dental surgery!! Wisdom roofs (4) come out today! Nice office, wonderful customer and patient service!!! Very clean office and I am loving the "Driver's Lounge" because of the comfy seats, coffee, water and for the fact that I can change the tv channels or hook up to their free wifi as I wait for her. The feel here is very modern and I really like how they explained the billing. read more

I've had 4 surgeries with him for different reasons he's awesome!!! I won't go anywhere else he's so nice and caring I've known him since 2013 I believe that was my first surgery. I'm a young woman and I have never experienced any "inappropriate" things there at his office. read more

Dr. Allen did a good job overall! He made sure to talk to me after the procedure and also called to check up on his client which is my boyfriend. Only thing is the reception lady. I don't know her name. I'm sure she is the blonde one. I don't know her name she had an attitude when I called her to ask for Dr.Allen in what to do since they didn't have one of the medication that my man needs. They would have to order it. She straight up said what do you want me to do and what you asking me? It was rude and not professional. She should at least give me Dr. Allen contact number to reach him or something instead of giving me harsh words and not apologizing. That is the only reason why I put a there star because service wasn't great with the receptionist. For me, I would want to be a client there don't take it personal. I would recommend Dr.Allen he is great and professional. read more

Dr. Allen is awesome. Very nice office and staff. I had an infected tooth pulled last week. He explains everything he's doing in detail. He's very caring & he personally called me to see at home to see how I was doing. Usually one of the staff calls. I highly recommend him. read more

So far, fantastic process and care. My daughter is having all 4 wisdom teeth extracted. After the healing I'll update the review. But Dr. Allen won us over with his kind and gentle manner, clear explanations, and humble confidence. The office is beautiful and clean. The office staff people are professional, kind, and patient. read more

If I knew all the descriptive words for "AWESOME," I would certainly use every one of them when it comes to Dr. Allen and his staff members at Pomona Valley Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery in Pomona, CA. From the moment I walked into the office, I felt an overwhelming sensation of Comfort. The office was beyond clean, fresh, and professional compared to the surrounding area. Do NOT let the area mislead you and suggest anything but Excellent Care and Professionalism from this establishment. Dr. Allen and his staff are Top Notch! I was absolutely terrified of oral surgery! I had several teeth removed in the past, but never from Dr. Allen. If only I had known of him years ago! He is so kind and extremely gentle. His voice, cadence, and demeanor are somewhat "angelic." Dr. Allen is clear, concise and direct in his explanation(s). He and his staff members are extremely thorough, while taking every measure to comply with one's specialized medical needs and/or requirements. Dr. Allen personally returns any calls and ensure that "His Patients" are well tended to. I could not have asked from much more from a medical professional and I am so thankful to be one of his patients. 5 stars is not nearly enough, but make them all "GOLD" and it will do quite nicely!!! read more

I went in for a consultation. I really loved my experience. The Dr. is amazing, he took the time to answer all my questions. Lastly, their office is beautiful. Thank you for the amazing service. I will be posting again next month when I go in for surgery. read more

My daughter had to have all four of her wisdom teeth removed. She was in an incredible amount of pain. Although we live over an hour away, I decided to try Dr. Allen because he came highly recommended. Dr. Allen's bedside manner is excellent. He takes time to connect, explain and listen. The day of the surgery ran smoothly and was over quickly. My daughter just wanted to sleep afterwards...and they allowed her to do so. Claudia, at the front desk, is awesome as well. We were an hour late due to rush hour traffic and she and Dr. Allen waited for us to arrive (we were his last appointment) and when we finally got there, we were greeted with smiles and cold bottled water. Everyone in the office is knowledgeable, thoughtful and efficient. I couldn't ask for more. Really. In fact, I've made an appointment for myself to have some work done! Seriously, I couldn't be happier! read more

First found this on Yelp so I went in to check it out really liked the service the doctor is a really great guy I'm am however disappointed because I made an appointment and had to reschedule due to a new job and I had to reschedule again today it's unavoidable they do ask for 48hrs notice (other wise $50 charge) and both times I have 1 week advance notice and now they are telling me that will be the last time I can reschedule that is terrible since they were circumstances that are unavoidable and I'm not messing with them I'm just disappointed so far but I do hope everything else goes smooth once I go in for the appointment. I forgot to update this but everything went beyond my expectations. No swelling or least not noticeable by me and no pain this guy does great work would definitely recommend read more

My dentist referred me to Dr. Allen for a wisdom tooth extraction consultation. To my horror, I was to have all four taken out! I was terrified, and I stalled, but my dentist convinced me that Dr. Allen was great. I knew I had to do it, so I followed through. After having heard a mix of both horror and success stories of friends who have had the procedure, I prepared for the worst, but hoped for the best. I am happy to say that Dr. Allen made this a smooth experience for me. He reassured me that I would be fully sedated from the anesthesia and therefore would not be at all aware of the procedure, and that if I followed his post-operation instructions I should have minimal complications. Being a good patient that I am, I followed his instructions. The day of the surgery, which now was one month ago, I arrived by 7:30. By about 8am, they had me all set up and ready to go. The last thing I remember before the procedure was Dr. Allen telling me to stop talking (lol!) when I was asking why I wasn't asleep yet, after he asked me to open my mouth. My first recollection after that was sitting on my couch at home at around 9:30am reading text messages I don't remember sending. Dr. Allen prescribed me with amoxicillin and ibuprofen, which I was to take to prevent infection, pain, and swelling; as backup, he also prescribed norco, to take only if necessary. He also called me that night of the surgery to see how I was doing, which I thought was a great way to make me feel more comfortable about my recovery. Fortunately, I didn't need to reach him at all and didn't need to take any of the norco because I didn't have any complications. I highly recommend Dr. Allen if you are to have this dreaded procedure. read more

My 12yr old had to have a tooth extracted from her pallet. I was seriously worried about my daughter being put under for the first time. I am so happy our first experience was with Dr Adams. Everyone in the office was so helpful. So comforting. My daughter came thru the surgery just like the Dr had said. It was not a huge traumatic experience like we thought it was going to be. Dr Adams called personally in the evening to check on her. All in all everything went so well. read more

I recently took my mother to Dr. Allen's to have three of her wisdom teeth extracted and Dr. Allen was wonderful. My mom is typically nervous around dentists, but Dr. Allen and his staff won her over with their warm demeanor, patience, and professionalism. Dr. Allen put my mother at ease with his humor and clear explanation of the procedures with some assistance from the staff due to my mom being primarily Spanish speaking. The staff was great in explaining the cost breakdown between ourselves and our insurance carrier. The office itself is beautifully decorated and technologically modern which made explanations much easier since they were blown up in a large screen. My mom typically hates x-rays, but the the 360 degree rotating x-ray machine was painless. The waiting room was even great since it was stocked with snacks and beverages. After the procedure the staff made sure I clearly understood what to expect in caring for my mom and what to expect in the following days. The evening of the procedure Dr. Allen followed up personally to see how my mom was faring. The staff was very prompt in making sure all follow ups were scheduled accordingly. I could not have asked for a better experience for her. My one regret is that I did not have my own wisdom teeth extracted here. read more

AMAZING service!!!!!! The process is speedy and yet considerate. They explained the whole process and the surgeon was the best doctor or dentist I've ever encountered. read more

I was referred to this office from my general dentist, and WOW! As I pulled up, I got a little nervous due to the area they are in. As soon as I saw the building I knew they were going to be good. The building is clean and remodeled. The staff at the front desk were very professional and attentive. The ladies in the back were AWESOME. I am ALWAYS nervous at dentists and the girls in back made me so at ease. They have a lot of new equipment and had pretty cool xray machines and what not. When I met Dr. Allen I IMMEDIATELY felt at ease. He was great. My only complaint is that I wish he was a general dentist, too!! read more

This is the best dentist ever.. even if it's pricy he took care of my needs and took one wisdom teeth. He explained to me what I'mma be feeling after and if I had any concerns he provided me with his cell phone. After my wisdom teeth was taken off I was really tired and drowsy and I threw up but then after the anesthesia came off I didn't feel a thing.. he did a great job on me. I recommend this dentist to everyone!! read more

I had to have my 4 wisdom teeth removed and like anyone else I was terrified. I was referred to Dr. Allen by my dentist. Upon arrival the first thing I noticed was how clean everything in the office was. Dr. Allen and his staff are very friendly. They took the required X-Rays to evaluate my case. Dr. Allen explained everything thoroughly and didn't every pressure me to make an appointment. I waited until I was ready (because I was scared) and then finally made the appointment. The day of the surgery went very smoothly and I am beyond impressed and happy with the procedure. Just like others I had minimal swelling and almost not pain. Dr. Allen even called me the night of the surgery to check in to make sure everything was going ok. I would 100% recommend him to anyone who needs to have this procedure done. He is definitely a VERY GOOD doctor. read more

I had two wisdom teeth extracted last year, kind of a complicated surgery, but Dr. Allen was very thorough in explaining everything and lots of follow up after surgery. He is always friendly and puts me at ease because sitting in the dentist chair automatically makes me nervous. There was a mild complication with my nerve after surgery and Dr. Allen continues to follow up with me every few months to check on the progress and always offers me refreshments when I visit. My insurance covered most of the procedure and the ladies at the front desk were very helpful in explaining exactly what I'm paying for. Office is very clean with modern equipment, I've been very happy with them and would happily recommend them to others. read more
