The atmosphere may not be she she but the level of competence was unparalleled. I highly recommend this dental practice.

He was still heavily medicated and tripped and stumbled his way out. I had to find a wheel chair on my own from the Yale office to get my sedated child safely to the car. Against my better judgement we took our youngest there too. I fully recognize that even using best practices there can be unwanted outcomes. When I expressed my concerns first to the nurse than the doctor that my child was reporting pain and was pounding on the arm rest to get them to stop or to acknowledge them and he was shushed and told to stop moving. Certainly there are limits to medication dosages and sometimes pain can happen. That is not the problem. Its the hubris and arrogance coupled with the gaslighting from staff. The reluctance to admit a complications. That is the problem. The doctor was better about it and had a reasonable explanation for every concern though was not apologetic/sympathetic that there were compications. The nurse was the real offender. Starting by saying my child was just being emotional. Minimizing this child's concerns and acting almost put out by my asking questions respectfully. Coastal has a nursing problem.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Erik Sayles. I saw him for severe complex TMJ disorder…read more I will start this review by saying I have dealt with many, many Drs in the last 15 years because of the MS and several co-morbid illnesses that I've had to contend with. I have a well rounded experience with Drs who make a difference and those who don't. With saying that, I highly recommend Dr. Erik Sayles, Oral Maxillofacial Surgeon. He is a doctor who makes a difference. He was on time, alert and attentive, extremely knowledgeable. Who also carries the best bedside manner and is friendly, compassionate, listened, intelligent, thought outside the box, thorough with exam, and thorough with suggestions and options to proceed forward, as well as, has great follow up to make sure you are well taken care of. He made sure that I was completely comfortable with all the decisions along the way.

Had it done Friday morning, and was back at work Tuesday. If I was less of a weenie, I could've gone in Monday. The staff was very nice. I had an issue with my insurance, and the office staff took care of it. I never waited long at appointments, and they always called me back promptly. The main nurse who worked with me on the day of my surgery was absolutely lovely and put me right at ease. The office needs a bit of updating, but that didn't really matter to me. I found it homey; others may be turned off. Don't let it deter you, Dr. Berkley was incredibly competent, answered all my questions (a zillion) patiently, and didn't make me feel rushed. I even asked him why he chose this profession and if he liked it, and he had a great answer and didn't brush it off (no idea why I find that important, I just do). I think the only thing I would change would be to ask for a bit more time between the surgery itself and the take-home instructions, since I barely remember talking with the doctor when it was over. Ten minutes would have made a big difference. My follow-up appointment was with a different provider, Dr. Hakimizadeh, but after a moment of disappointment since I had some questions, it was fine. He was also quite nice. I would absolutely return here if I needed any other oral surgery procedures.

I said I preferred 8am due to work, she told me that wasn't available that it'd have to be around 8:30am. When I arrived they said I wouldn't be seen because the doctor was already with a patient under anesthesia and that I was supposed to arrive at 8! Now I won't be able to be seen until 3:30PM!!! With the infection I have in my mouth caused by the surgery I had with them I would recommend finding a more reliable dental surgeon. Or at least one with more reliable secretaries.

The office staff took the most amazing care of my son from explanations, preparation and after care so there was never a question or concern. Dr. Calcaterra took the time to create plans that met our needs and reduced after care pain or discomfort. I cannot say enough about how this dentist office has changed our lives. My son willing goes to this office knowing that they are all going to take care of him. Jennifer has been invaluable to us regarding scheduling, timing and payments. Without her I don't think we would have been able to get everything done. Highly recommend this office and if you have a child that has anxiety, THIS IS YOUR PLACE!

I came here to have a crown fit a couple of years ago and they did a terrible job. The crown did…read morenot fit when it got put in, so it had to be adjusted by removing some of the enamel, leaving a large metal spot on top of the crown. In addition to this, the crown didn't look like a tooth, but a piece of gum pressed into the back of my mouth. I switched dentists after this experience and my new dentist was quite taken aback when he looked at the crown. Now, two years later with a different dentist (moved to a different town), it turns out that the shape of the crown is so bad (it bulges out) that there are pockets underneath it and my current dentist suggested that I replace it, because there will be trouble in the future. The office itself doesn't seem very clean and could use some renovation. Now, the staff and the dentists are friendly and helpful, but they don't seem to be able to do their job. Avoid if you can, rather take a longer trip to a dentist, it's not worth the convenience to be able to walk there.

When it was pouring rain or there were a couple of feet of snow outside, you couldn't beat it for convenience. They were nice enough, and I don't have dental needs beyond semiannual cleaning and x-rays. Here are the two dealbreakers that brought this place from 2-3 stars to 1. 1) When I recently called to have them email or fax my records to a new dentist, I learned that they only offer "snail mail" record fowarding. I was genuinely nonplussed. What kind of modern-day office doesn't have a scanner, and uses this as their excuse to delay care and transfer of services to a new provider when such a thing is common, even necessary? To cap it off, the receptionist was nightmarishly rude on the phone. 2) After cleanings, my teeth didn't feel entirely clean. You know that impossibly smooth feeling when all the plaque and tartar has been obliterated from every nook and cranny, and you can't help running your tongue over your spotless brights? Not here you don't. Save your time and money and frustration and go somewhere else.

The appointment had been set for six months! Then I got a nasty attitude and transferred to someone else to schedule another appointment. That was for today, May 8th at 5 p.m. I have attached two emails showing the time of the appointment. In the past three days I have been receiving emails and texts saying my appointment is at 4:15 but I never changed a thing, nor did I speak to anyone about a change. I spoke to someone today who said I could come then but I'd have to wait because there was someone with an appointment at that time. I refuse to come in now, as this makes no sense. *I* had the appointment at 5. I have shown you proof. Yet this is now a month of run-arounds with the office over an appointment which was set now 7 months prior.   This is unacceptable. It's not the first time I've had an issue, but this is twice in a month someone is just blatantly screwing up in the office. I hope this is fixed at some point, as I really don't want to visit this office ever again.
