In my book Bryan Mclelland is a 5 Star Oral Surgeon…read more Earlier this year my wife had implants surgically inserted. It first involved grafting bone to her jaw to hold the implants in place; a couple months later the implants were surgically inserted into her jaw. Bryan Mclelland performed the surgery. His nurse and assistants are pretty incredible as they assisted during the surgery. The implants fit perfectly and everything went great! My personal experience was equally as good. My dentist referred me to Bryan because it looked like I had a small crack in one of my teeth. He thought it should be pulled. After looking at the Xray Bryan suggested we watch it for six to twelve months and then determine if it needed to be pulled. It's refreshing to hear that I could just wait and see what happens, I might never need to have it pulled. I felt like Bryan really cares about his patients, its not all about the money! I can't believe anybody would give Bryan anything less than 5 stars! - Richard Brantley, Spokane Valley

I Dr. McLelland!…read more I'm so pleased with he & his staff, you better pack a lunch for this one! I went in, scared to death about needing oral surgery, and I came out with this five-star review! Dr. McLelland was the third oral surgeon I had gone to after meeting 2 doctors in CDA who I just wasn't feeling: I liked the doctor but not the front office and vice versa. With Liberty Oral Surgery, I loved both. Let's start with Dr. McLelland. In a word: fantastic! He has such a great bedside manner and inspired confidence that put me at ease instantly. I was extremely apprehensive about having a tooth pulled and an implant installed but he put all my fears to rest. He listened to my concerns and clearly explained my care plan. He's also just a super nice guy who takes pride in what he does. The day of my both surgeries, I was greeted by his fabulous staff who were efficient and friendly and put me at ease: Briget, Denise, Megan, & Katie. Dr. McLelland explained my post-op instructions for successful results and they have been! He also called after each surgery to check on me. Who even does that anymore?! At my follow-up appointments, I had the pleasure of meeting Cliff & Staci, who both went out of their way to put me at ease about my progress. His front office is also awesome. Terri, the Finance Manager, was approachable and walked me through a cost breakdown. She clearly explained where my benefits would apply and was timely in terms of submitting my claim. I loved that there were no surprises when all was said & done. I live in CDA and Liberty Oral Surgery is in Post Falls. Not a huge distance but 100% worth the drive. I recommend Dr. McLelland 110% to anyone who needs an extraction or an implant.

Dr Skinner is very good. He removed a tooth for me two years ago. I had problems when I recently…read morewent back for a tooth removal and implant placement. The woman handling insurance was rude and shouted at me. She also missed insurance coverage. I have the comprehensive dental coverage, not the limited. Included in this coverage is 50 percent payment for an implant. My Medical used to cover implants but that coverage has been transferred to the dental plan. She rudely refused to call the insurance companies. Because of her stubbornness, I would have had to pay $2700 before the procedure. At another oral surgeon's office, My cost will be $200 dollars to have the tooth removed and only 50 percent for the cost of an implant. That is a big difference in my payment for services. Because of allergies, I need antibiotics and pain medication compounded. I told both Dr Skinner and his assistant at the same time, that the prescription needed to be sent to the compounding pharmacy one week before surgery. Because of pain I asked that the tooth be removed as quickly as possible. The scheduler told me she would send a note to the assistant for my antibiotic to be sent to the pharmacy.I called the pharmacy two days in a row to see if the script was there. It wasn't. The pharmacist called the office and was told there was no order. Because of the insurance difficulties causing me to pay an inordinate amount of money, lack of professionalism, and the inability for me to feel comfortable that I would have an antibiotic at the time of surgery, I left to have the service performed at another office.

The procedure itself was fast and easy (20 mins) - problems start with the billing/honest. I had a…read moregood size piece of tissue removed from my inner cheek that was close to my lip, didn't hurt or really bother me but was annoying. Went in for consult, they told me my out of pocket would be $500, and my medical would cover rest (approx. $350). I was told they had called both dental and medical coverage providers and medical was best way to go. Absolutely my fault for not checking and making sure this was done/true but I paid the $500 and then received a bill for the balance several months later after my medical denied the claim. Called medical, they said they had never received a call and had they, they would have advised them that this oral surgeon was not in my network so I had $1,100 ded that would not be met so there would be no coverage. Absolutely my fault for not calling myself (is it sad that I'm almost 40 and have never used my medical coverage for other than doctors visits so had no idea?) and I can understand them not telling me about the in/out of network because they wanted the business (procedure would have been 100% covered had I used an in-network provider), but having no grounds to verify that my medical would cover the $350, I do feel I was lied to. When I called Skinners office to inquire I was told it was my responsibility to call my medical provider to confirm and they would set up payment plan for me - gee thanks. Watch out for this office, they do not have your best interest in mind.

I absolutely appreciate the professionalism, compassion, expertise and attentiveness of the entire…read morestaff. Diagnosis and treatment are individualized and research based. Instructions are clear. Dr. Nygaard is brilliant, cutting edge in approach and very skilled. I am doing my part via rigorous compliance, and I am justifiably optimistic about my case. Thank you! I give this practice my highest recommendation.

Coming to Dr. Nygaard's office has been a much different experience than I have had with other…read moremedical visits. I was recommended by my dentist, Dr. Wilson of Sodorff & Wilson, for my gum grafting. From the moment I interacted with the receptionist and all through my initial appointment, it was very apparent to me that everyone here is both personable and opinionated. That can make one feel both uncomfortable as well as more connected and aware. So it's a good and a bad thing depending on how you look at it. If you like the customer service facade of many medical practices then this may not enjoy your experience here. Dr. Nygaard and her assistant are both very experienced and very opinionated women and they don't hold back on bringing up their critique on your health, even in areas you didn't come in to talk about. I will disclaim that while this may have been a bit more stimulating emotionally then I bargained for, it ultimately is not something I dislike; I appreciate that the medical world is in flux and filled with new research and approaches, so I find it refreshing and valuable to have real discussions with my doctors. I want to talk to my regular dentist about some of the things Dr. Nygaard recommended as far as my dental hygiene (she told me to try switching to a different toothbrush, changing my brushing technique) because I was given some ideas I have never heard before. Anyway, I think there is a wholistic health approach here, for sure. And it makes you feel like Dr. Nygaard is very very passionate about what she does and she is really thinking about you as an individual. That being said, I can see why some people have a negative experience. Most important, Dr. Nygaard is amazing at what she does. My gum graft looks so good. I was really nervous about the cosmetic aspect of it and I couldn't be happier. I would recommend coming here. I do agree that the receptionist shouldn't be bringing up irrelevant personal topics with patients and that this office should definitely address that, but it just isn't a significant enough factor for me. I fully trust Dr. Nygaard's surgical abilities.

Dr.Derek was very nice as well and both were sensitive about my oral history as well as genuine with how we will move forward. This office puts every other dentist I've ever had to shame because Dr.C's office has the most competent and knowledgeable crew you will find in Washington. They even have products on hand you can buy like xylitol paste which saves a trip to the store. I'm excited for my next appointment!

I went in thinking I should just have all of my teeth pulled and dentures. They laughed and told me my teeth looked great, just need some work, after 5 years with no dental work. That being said, they didn't worry about cosmetics or doing anything too costly, just getting my teeth filled or capped and even let me tell them which teeth I felt were most important, as my molars are almost all crowned now! Working with the billing department, they helped me get the most important teeth done and getting it to fit into my deductible and maximum allowed amount, leaving less important issues for next years plan. I could go on and on, but I'll just end with price... being from the Seattle area, I am amazed at the pricing. My crown was about $500 less than what I would have paid with dentists on the west side of the state, so I was able to get a lot more done too! Dr Psomas is very caring and understanding of your needs, as is everyone else in the office. Thanks so much to Dr Psomas and his staff. You make me actually want to go in for my teeth cleanings too!

In other words, I had upper jaw surgery because my jaw was very poorly aligned. I was told for years that I needed to get the treatment and was incredibly reluctant because of the time, braces and cost. However, I ultimately decided to pursue treatment. It has been due to the professionalism and service of Dr. Lang and the entire SOMFS team, that I am willing to fly back and forth between New York City and Spokane, WA to receive treatment. Over the last few years, Dr. Lang has been gracious, helpful and considerate when answering my questions (via email, phone and in person consultation) and the SOMFS team was extremely helpful when it came to scheduling the surgery, dealing with insurance (which was a nightmare...but ultimately we prevailed) and treating me with respect and care during and after the surgery. The surgery was successful and the advice and care I received in the months following my surgery has been extremely thorough. Long story short, if you need any sort of oral or maxillofacial surgery, SOMFS is the place to go. The price is right, the care is great and the doctors and staff are top notch.
