    If you have dental anxiety or a true phobia of the dentist, DO NOT COME HERE…read more I knew I should have trusted my gut from the consultation. I left feeling like Dr. Khayat lacked bedside manner, but I brushed it off because I assumed many surgeons are more focused on the procedure than conversation. I regret ignoring that instinct. The day of my extraction, I was extremely anxious. I hadn't had a tooth pulled since I was a teenager, and I'm now in my 40s. The dental assistant was wonderful. She did her best to calm me down and explain what to expect. She is the only reason I'm giving one star. When the doctor walked into the room, he didn't introduce himself or ask how I was doing. He simply said, "I'm going to numb you," gave the injections ("1, 2, 3...shot"), and walked out. I understood that he needed to let the anesthetic take effect, and the assistant confirmed that. When he returned, he gave me more anesthetic then started the extraction. At no point did he explain what he was doing or check on me, even though I was obviously anxious and could feel my heart racing. I understand that extractions involve pressure and pulling. That wasn't the issue. The problem was that he was pulling so forcefully that my head and neck were being jerked to the side, and I finally had to stop the procedure to readjust myself. I was visibly grimacing, yet he never once asked if I was okay or needed a moment. The only thing he said during the procedure was, "The crown is off." Then my tooth broke, which I understand can happen, but again there was no communication about what was happening. At some point my gum was torn during the extraction. No one told me. I only realized it after he placed a stitch, and I had to ask the assistant what had happened to confirm why I needed sutures. When he finished, he simply said the stitch would dissolve in 7-10 days. He still never asked how I was feeling or whether I had any concerns. Before I left, I asked for an emergency phone number in case I had a problem after the procedure. He laughed and said, "You won't need a phone number." That response was incredibly dismissive. Every patient deserves to know how to reach their surgeon if they have concerns after surgery. I'm a healthcare professional myself, and I would never treat a patient the way I was treated that day. Technical skill is only one part of healthcare. Compassion, communication, and making an anxious patient feel safe matter just as much. If you're having IV sedation, your experience may be different. But if you're having a procedure while awake and you're looking for reassurance, communication, and good bedside manner, I cannot recommend this office. I wish I had listened to the other one- and two-star reviews before scheduling my procedure.

We tried other offices, but they were fully booked until SEPTEMBER. This office managed to squeeze us in for the following week for a consultation, where they addressed all of our questions and outlined the entire process from operation and recovery. We were able to come back the following for the extraction, so I was very happy with the quick turnaround and their ability to accommodate our schedules. Thank you to Dr. Khayat and his staff!

    My 12 year old daughter had all 4 of her wisdom teeth out the Friday before Thanksgiving. During…read morethe consultation a few weeks prior, Dr. McMurray and his staff reviewed the x-rays with us, reviewed pharmacy information, and the Dr. explained how the procedure would go and what to expect afterwards. After meeting with the Dr. the assistant gave us copies of the prescriptions that they e-prescribed to our kaiser pharmacy and gave us a couple medications to help my daughter be more relaxed prior to the procedure. The Sunday after the procedure to see how my daughter was healing. After her being in pain still a week and a half later, I e-mailed Dr. McMurray one evening to let him know how her healing was going and her pain level. He e-mailed me back early the next morning letting me know it sounds like she is healing but sometimes the pain lingers for some patients longer than others and that if she still continued to have pain by the end of the week he'd want to see her in clinic for a follow-up. Just as soon as I e-mail the doc, a few days later amazingly my daughter's pain disappears (insert sarcasm here). Dr. McMurray was great and available whenever I needed him or a member of his staff. I would definitely recommend him.

He extracted the bad one and everything went really well! Since then he has extracted the rest of my wisdoms , extracted my daughters impacted wisdoms and did dental implant surgery for me! His staff has been very professional and have explained everything in detail. I feel very comfortable recommending DR McMurray to anyone.

    I had worked with Dr. Defaii for a few years. I had my teeth cleaned, my wisdom teeth pulled. In…read morethe complex cases of my lower wisdom teeth, Dr. Defaii referred me to a very distinguished oral surgeon, who treated me very well without any nerve damage. Dr. Defaii also goes extra miles for my regular teeth cleans like deep cleans. My crown and night guard were done by Dr. Defaii. They fit like gloves. You can always trust that he provide the best dental treatment out there.

    Extremely unpleasant experience…read more Positives: Helpful staff, friendly disposition, got me in quickly. Negatives: DDS tried to gaslight me by suggesting that I'm a difficult patient because I have a sensitive mouth during the e-ray process. The receptionist offered me the "rufi" option, which I initially declined because she stated it was optional (plus an extra $40 out of pocket.) Unfortunately, once DDS started the cleaning he was so heavy handed that I had to stop him and opt in for the Halcion aka "rufi". After only cleaning my bottom teeth, DDS said he was done and offered me a couple cups of apple juice to sober me up. DDS saw me looking really out of it while sitting in my car loading my gps for the 10 minute ride home. He offered me more time to sit in the waiting room to sober up but I declined because I just wanted to get out of there and go home. I was SO sick on my 10 minute ride home due to the "rufi" that I lost control of my bowels and BLEW UP in my car! =( Fortunately, I had a blanket in the backseat I was able to wrap myself in before the explosion, rendering the clean up process manageable. After cleaning myself up, I passd out for over 5 hours because I was completely non-functional. When I came to, I recalled my awful experience and cancelled the appointment for the following day. Can you believe that after ALL that trauma, he only cleaned the bottom half of my teeth!?! My mind is still blown that he wanted to rufi me all over again the next day to do a simple cleaning! To make things worse I tried to see another Dentist 2 1/2 weeks later to finish my cleaning, only to find out this DDS billed for a complete cleaning so my next appointment was not covered!! This was such a terrible experience I just had to share it in its entirety. I understand I may be an outlier but this was one of the worst dental experiences I've had in my 55 years of life. Finally, I have historically had a very high tolerance for pain and have never required sedation or pain killers for a dental cleaning.

I've had teeth cleanings and a filling repaired, and they've always been gentle and considerate. The parking is easy too :). I moved to One Dental over a year ago when my longtime dentist Dr. Ravizza retired and his new replacements suddenly recommended multiple fillings and even a crown, despite me never having issues before. That didn't sit right with me, which is what led me here--and I'm glad it did. They confirmed that I didn't need that work.

In March, I made an appointment for May 28th as a first time client. Shortly after scheduling, I received a text asking if I'd be interested in an opening sooner to which I replied yes. I provided my availability and stated I was flexible and could come most afternoons. I received a reply shortly after asking if I'd like to come the next day for a morning appt. Um no. I had already clearly stated I could do AFTERNOONS. Two weeks later I get a call and then a text asking if I'd like to be added to the "ASAP list". I thought I already was?! I was contacted AGAIN a few days later asking about my availability. How many times do I have to spell out I can come in the afternoons?! By this point, they're too much and I ask that they take me off the list. It's too much communication. May 27th comes along and I realize I've received no communication about my appointment on the 28th. I text them to find out they canceled my appointment. I NEVER told them to cancel my appointment. I simply didn't want to be constantly bothered about their "ASAP list". It's really unacceptable that they canceled an appointment I waited almost 3 months for. I was really hoping to have a good dentist 5 minutes from my house but no such luck. I was not interested in rescheduling as I completely lost trust in this office.

Not only did he have a very good bedside manner, but he was also very competent as a surgeon. I had a complicated facial surgery 10 years ago after getting hit by a car, and I was dealing with some complications that needed the hardware to be removed. I had a spreadsheet of all the potential hospitals and surgeons and all 11 of them besides Dr. Taghikhan were either unwilling to do the surgery or were out of network and would charge tens of thousands of dollars (including the hospital where I got the original surgery). I felt so relieved when Dr. Taghikhan was willing to perform the surgery, and that he had plenty of experience with facial hardware implants at the hospitals he works at. I also have a disability (CRPS) that makes surgery very risky, since it can cause a severe flare up. Dr. Taghikhan was also willing to do everything he could to minimize this risk, which is something most surgeons might have been hesitant to do. On top of all that, he also quoted a price that was an order of magnitude cheaper than anywhere else. It seemed like he really wanted to help and wanted to make it as affordable as he could. Thank you Dr. Taghikhan!
