She raved about her experience she had with all the staff members. She even had to make a difficult decision on her own about whether to proceed or not due to a root being close to the tooth. She asked good questions, got intelligent answers to make her choice, and she went through with it and the doctor did amazing. Root untouched! I cannot be more thankful to Dr. Cox and his team!! Recommend to everyone! This is the text my 18 yr old sent. How great is that?!

I broke a tooth and immediately got into my dentist (thankfully I work in the office so they were…read moreable to get me in same day). I needed the tooth removed as well as my wisdom teeth so I was referred to Mark Cox. I called them before my referral was even sent over and they were able to get me in the next morning for a consult and a few days later for the extraction. The staff were all so kind and Mark was very kind as well.

Quick overall opinion: be clear and honest with the clinic and doctors about everything regarding…read moreyour oral care and about previous experience. Everything from customer experience to patient support and care was handled properly and with extreme respect. I had a great experience. **Read the guidelines BEFORE your appointment.** shastaoralsurgery.com/procedures/anesthesia/ My appointment was from 10:43 am -12:23 pm (1h, and 40 minutes) and that includes: checking in, xR, consultation, surgeries, recovery time, and checking out) * Referral was from Riverbend Family Dental Care. ------------------ If you are hesitant, this information and details for people with traumatic experiences from dental visits. Also, I talk about my dentist office that referred me here. 1) Visits to a dentist office is not the most fun thing to do, let alone going to an oral surgeon clinic. 2) I had trauma physically, emotionally and psychologically from previous experiences from dental visits. 3) I stoped going to the dentist office 10 years or more ago. I tried once or twice and I ran out of the clinics door I visited because they would not listen nor honor what I shared with me. Unfortunately, at the beginning of this year one of my molars broke. I did not say anything. Next thing I know, my wisdom teeth are coming out and I am in excruciating pain. They are impacting the rest of my teeth alignment. We live in Humboldt County, and there is 0 clinics and 0 oral surgeons that are accepting applications for new patients. My husband started to look in Redding and found dentists that are within our insurance network taking new patients so he was super happy to get us in. I did not say a word to him about my feelings or fears. We arrived to our dentist office and things started to come back to me. I was in a very bad shape. My dentist office team were trained for situations like that, they comforted me and handle the situation in such a professional and caring way. They listen to my issues and took all notes they needed to share with the entire office. Everyone was aware of what's going on. My hygienist appointments were so peaceful, my fillings were stressful a bit but I was not vaulted by the doctor at any point. Dr. Holmes would stop and make sure I was ready for next steps, and constantly asked if I was ready. Riverbend clinic made my transition to Dr. William Evens so easy and comfortable. Now my experience at Dr. William Evans clinic: when we arrived we filled the needed documents. Then I was asked to go for a 360 xR imaging. Here where I started to feel comfortable. The assistant, he was absolutely amazing, professional and very respectful. He talked to me, asked all proper questions and took notes of everything. Went over everything in simple detail to understand and introduce the procedure with so much less graphic detail and more comfortable information about what I might go through. Then he introduced Dr. Evans. Now, all surgeons has this intimidating look or presence to them, it's just who they are due to their line of work. When Dr. William Evans walked in I was about to book it out of the clinic, no joke. He greeted us and immediately started to speak to the assistant and he read my dentist office notes. Right in front of me. This was so relieving. Then he started to ask me questions to know more and that's when I started to feel less anxious and more comfortable. He literally explained what he would do in a simple, carful way, and he asked me multiple times if that's what I wanted to do and if I was comfortable with it. Finally, your experiences might be different from mine. But finding a good dentist office is not an easy process. When you do, or if you already have one be honest about your past dental experiences, follow instructions, and make sure you build a trust bond with your doctors. Make sure you let them know what you want. I wish all patients a good luck and good experience. Dealing with trauma is not easy but with good people and good care is possible.

Just because an…read moreoffice my seem fancy, high tech, clean, etc.... it does not mean that the quality of work is just as good. Hands down I can say that Dr. Mike and Chris Nelson are the best dentists in the North State! I have seen first hand how a case can truly bother Dr. Mike to the point of working through lunch and staying up at night. He is truly a perfectionist and doesn't quit until the patient is receiving the best care possible. I have never seen a dentist care as much as they do. I have had several of my family and friends switch from their long time family dentists because they too have seen what a great team they have at Nelson Family Dental Group. Dr. Mike and Chris do not only care about the mouth. They truly strive to care for the whole person. They often like to discuss diet and airway in addition to just the teeth. They both do exceptional work when it comes to all types of dentistry: fillings, crowns/bridges, esthetics, oral surgery, dentures and root canals. It is so nice to see such a family oriented dental team every time I come in for an appointment. All of the staff are excellent and work hard to make sure every patient leaves with a smile. Janet and Kristy always answer the phone with a pleasant greeting and are always so helpful with any questions I have. The hygienists, Carie and Jen, even take the time to get to know you during each visit. Each of the assistants are so knowledgeable in what they do and work so well with the doctors. I can't think of a single negative thing to say about this dental office. Truly the greatest!

I have been seeing Dr. Rooney for more than a year now and while there's always that fear-devil whispering in my ear in the background, I do not have the somatic or psychological reactions to going to the dentist as I have in the past. The Dr. and all his staff are so kind and patient, they take their time explaining to me what's going on and answering questions. They seem to genuinely care. Because of my dental anxiety and upbringing of not going to the dentist, I have terrible teeth. Dentists in the past have made me feel ashamed of myself. That shame paired with the ordeal of root canals, etc. is likely the genesis of my anxiety. Dr. Rooney and his staff are amazing people and skilled providers.
