Visited Dr Hale and office today. Came in without appt as I was in terrible pain and my dentist was not open around the holidays. Xrays were taken, determination was made that extraction was needed, my personal dr was consulted and tooth was extracted. Not only that but I was given consultive advice on the future and how it was recommended I proceed -- as we reviewed xrays together. This office and Dr are OUTSTANDING. I am 71 years old and have "been around the block" as they say. I know when an organization is quality, professional, and caring from top to bottom -- including all staff and assistants. The best way I can describe this team, including Dr. Hale is -- this is where traditional, old school caring and values meets up with high tech state of the art technology and procedures to create an experience and level of comfort that is remarkable. Thank you Dr Hale and team. Much appreciated! read more

Dr. Hale is an incredible oral surgeon. He extracted a bad root canal that was in my mouth for years and made me very sick. His work is nothing short of perfection. I had no pain and no issues after. I am so grateful I was referred to him. This is 7 years later and I have not replaced the tooth that was removed, my other teeth have not moved even though he waned me that they could. I have recovered from my illness which took a lot more than just removing the bad root canal, but I believe Dr. Hale is a good man and ethical oral surgeon with integrity and skill. read more

Dr. Hale is extraordinary. He is not only a gifted surgeon and doctor... he's a wonderful human being! Having served our country at war, using his skills to save the injured and dying, his devotion as a doctor is remarkable. I was lucky to be referred to him by my Dentist... I needed to have a partially impacted, infected wisdom tooth that was pushing On my molar removed. And the molar had to come out as well. I had never had a tooth pulled in my life and had heard nothing but horror stories about having wisdom teeth removed. So I was dreading it! Dr. Hales's confident and calm demeanor put me at ease right away. I knew I was in the best hands. The surgery was fast, flawless and painless. And I had no pain afterwards. The result is perfection with no issues. And His team is wonderful from the front desk to the nurses. Thank you all! read more

Great doctor and amazing staff. Dr. Hale explains everything. He takes his time. He definitely makes you feel very safe in his hands. I while heartily trust him. read more

Excellent oral surgeon without a doubt. From the very first time I met him till the end of the surgery with 4 implant placement, he was just amazing, very polite, very professional, so talented and knowledgeable. I have seen more than 10 oral surgeons, but he is one of the best. He is the final stop for all your dental surgeries. read more

My son had his wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Hale. We could not have been happier with the care he received during and after surgery. The office went above and beyond with COVID-19 precautions. Our sons procedure went as planned. With consistent use of ice packs for the first 36 hours, our son had minimal swelling. Thank you Dr. Hale read more

I was taken to the Emergency Room with severe swelling on the left side of my mouth and was also experiencing a high fever. NONE of the doctors at the hospital ER could figure out what was causing the problem nor how to treat it. I was referred to Dr. Robert Hale, who saw me right away and did an intervention. He quickly and successfully figured out the cause and provided the solution. He has meticulously followed up since just to be certain all was ok. And it is! God bless Dr Robert G. Hale. Steven F. Konow Woodland Hills, California read more

I have seen Dr. Hale twice now for dental procedures and not only is he a fantastic oral surgeon but he is also the nicest, kindest man! I can't say enough wonderful things about him and his staff! I highly recommend Dr. Hale for any of your dental needs! read more

Dr. Hale is a God send to me as both my upper and lower teeth have had the dentin stripped and subsequently all are/were infected and broken. GERD and chemotherapy did them in but Dr. Hale showed expertise, compassion and wisdom throughout this rather long journey. He removed all my uppers and I got 6 implants instead of 4 to make sure they all took plus he worked extremely well with my dentist, Dr Solow, in the same building, for a beautiful upper rack! We are currently working on getting the bottom done and I would not go to any other oral surgeon as he is simply the best!!! His staff models the same wonderful qualities as Dr Hale. Highly recommend and no dry socket too! read more

Dr. Hale is the best Doctor I have ever had. He has the best bedside manner and he takes the time to explain everything and answer all your questions. He came highly recommend by my dentist and friend who is a patient and I'm so grateful for the recommendation. Also the office and his staff are exceptional and very organized and punctual. read more

My 16yr old daughter had her wisdom teeth pulled on the 3rd of March. 4 times he tried to get the I.V. in all 4 places are bruised and swollen. My daughter told me he was really mean and had no compassion for her. In another story my mother had gone to him about a few years ago and said "why didn't you tell me it was Dr. Hale? I would of cancelled the surgery! He couldn't even fix my teeth right. I had to go down the hall to another dentist!" As a mother I am very upset. As a consumer, I wish I could sue him. read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience with Dr. Hale and his staff! From the moment I walked into his office, I knew that he would be my surgeon. His office is beautiful, clean and has up to date technology. That in itself told me he (and the other doctors) were meticulous and professional. I am in the medical field as well and very familiar with this type of practice. I felt very comfortable. The rooms were set up to feel at home and not in some death trap that is the dentist office. Nice wide screen for when he presents x-rays. My husband is in radiologic sales and was super impressed with panorama technology and doesn't see that very often in an office. His staff was friendly and professional, all wore black matching scrubs (which I love) and had savvy titles, which I have never seen before in any medical office setting. Although, I felt at home here, I was still a nervous wreck. I am not a fan of the dental world (which is why I was there in the first place - face palm) and they all made me feel at ease. I had to bring my newborn with me every time and they never once made me feel uncomfortable. They offered to put me in a room upon arrival so that I did not feel like I was in the spotlight and disturb other patients. Again, speaks volumes of how they want their patients to have a calm experience. I filled out my paperwork in the room, and they had me press this button to let them know I was finished...genius. I appreciate those little things, ha. Dr. Hale was superb. I instantly felt like I knew him. Maybe in the sense that I was familiar with the type of surgeon he is. He prides himself on being awesome at what he does. Again, this all reflects on his staff and office setting, too. He has a very cool, funny, cut up sense of humor. He explained the procedure and showed me the xrays on his cool mega screen. I am extremely terrified of going under and quite frankly wasn't too keen on the surgeon putting me under. In my world, anesthesiologists put patients under, so I was like, 'wait, he's putting me under?!'. Pretty sure that's when my blood pressure went into overdrive. BUT after looking him up and reading EVERYTHING I could, it happens that he is more than capable of doing this. I am not very familiar with the dental field, but I can't imagine that they all have these credentials. Nonetheless, if you are at all worried about Dr. Hale putting you under, look him up on google. You will have this zen like feeling come over you. The procedure was so easy. Nothing to eat/drink 6-8 hours prior to the procedure. That's it. There's no long med list to avoid, no diet you have to stick to, no dress code to abide by, etc. If you've had surgery, you know what I'm talking about. Nope, just NPO. I walked in wearing leggings and a tank top, ha. They walked me back into the procedure room, which again, was so cool that it was linked to his office. I didn't have to go to a separate surgery center. I am sure this is typical of oral surgeons, but this was my first experience, so I was in awe. As they were prepping me, to my surprise I saw the office manager in the room setting up the trays, etc. Now, I had seen everything. Mind. Blown. There's definitely something to be said to see a familiar face. I am all about doctors having their right hands, but have never seen them in surgery, other than a PA. Especially an office manager. Very cool. I woke up with almost no pain. I say almost because I still have another tooth that needs a root canal (face palm again). They gave me great instructions verbally and in writing. They walked me into the little room where my husband was and the first thing he said was...'that was fast'. I, on the other hand felt as if I had been sleeping for days. Being a mom of a 2 year old and a newborn, it was great!! Ha. The post op was a BREEZE!! I had almost NO PAIN! Again, besides my other tooth, which is a separate issue from having my wisdom teeth removed. I didn't swell or bruise or any other of the horrific things I would hear about having wisdom teeth pulled. Besides not being able to eat solid food for those couple of days, it was so easy. I couldn't have been happier. I just couldn't do yoga during the healing process, which was a bummer, but whatever. Small price to pay to finally have this done. If you read this novel, Dr. Hale, thank you!! I salute you and completely respect the type of surgeon you are. Thank you for making me feel at home and being this big, kind gentle giant. I could not have been happier with my experience. And a big thank you to your staff - absolutely excellent. I will 100000% recommend you to anyone! If I ever need an oral surgeon again (which I hope I never do - no offense), I will not hesitate to call you guys! read more

I have had monumental dental issues that Dr. Hale has been addressing for the past two years. Without going into the details of my problems and the surgeries Dr. Hale has performed, I will simply say he is brilliant. His staff couldn't be more professional or helpful, particularly Liz. I've had some minor emergencies and Dr. Hale has always responded right away. His gruff looking exterior belies an extremely skilled, brilliant, personable and humorous professional that I trust immensely. I highly recommend Dr. Hale for oral surgery, including implants. read more

I had a tooth extraction, bone graft and implant done by Dr. Hale. He took a lot of time prior to the procedure to get every measurement using some pretty cool xray and analysis tools. He discussed the whole process with me, what would happen, what to expect. I went in for the procedure, they knocked me out and I woke up an hour later with the process done. A couple hours later as the numbness wore off I took one pain killer in anticipation of what was to come... As it turned out I probably didn't even need that. Amazingly right from day 1, I had negligible pain. It's now a week later and there was no swelling, no pain, no problems. It was absolutely amazing. I've had root canals that have hurt much more than that. I highly recommend Dr. Hale. Like many people I don't cope too well with dental pain so to have a relatively complex procedure like this and not suffer at all from it is almost beyond belief. Thanks Dr. Hale!!! read more

I had to have a surgical extraction of my wisdom tooth, and I paid almost $600 up front. The extraction went very quick & easy - I was awake the whole time, and everyone was really nice. Afterwards they gave me an RX for meds after, and I went on my way. At no time did anyone mention any additional fees or anything, my husband was with me the whole time and they never mentioned anything to him either. Almost 6 months later, I receive a bill from them for around $500, so of course I am confused and call them, left a voicemail THREE TIMES trying to figure out why I am being charged again. $1,100 is a lot of money for a tooth extraction that took 20 minutes! Nobody ever got back to me.. So instead, they have now sent me to collections.. I am now in collections for debt I have no clue what it is. Beware of this SHADY dentist office & their bogus charges. Do yourself a favor and confirm all final pricing in writing before leaving. read more

First let me say.. I am not a fan of dentists in general. I am fairly new to the area and looked on Yelp to find a dentist. I found Dr. Alan Stein who is amazing, but I needed a specialist Dr. Stein is not an oral surgeon. He referred me to Dr. Hale, with outstanding recommendation. Dr. Hale is funny, with good energy, coupled with skill and a GREAT staff . I inquired how long one of the staffers has been with him. She said 25 years and still raving how good of a doctor he is. That is AWESOME. So please give him a call for your next dental needs. You will not be disappointed. I had a tooth extracted and a bone graft. Not the funnest thing to go through. That is why you want an awesome doctor to help you . read more

Dr. Hale is truly amazing! I consulted with him regarding surgery performed by another doctor. Dr. Hale is extremely knowledgeable, warm, and patient. He spent lots of time with me and explained everything. He reassured me I will be fine. The office is lovely and staff are very professional. Dr. Hale genuinely cares about his patients. There are not enough kind words I can say to express my gratitude! read more

Though it was Another surgeon who removed my wisdom teeth it was Dr.Hale who helped me through the recovery process. I met him when I was experiencing dry socket symptoms and my surgeon was out of the office that day (they share an office). the next time I visited I waited about an hour to see my doctor and he saw me in the waiting room and offered to take a look. He was patient, caring, and understanding and it made me wish that he had taken out my wisdom teeth. read more

I am towards the end of my Invisalign treatment and having 3 of my 4 wisdom teeth already out, wanted to make sure that my wisdom teeth won't be a problem. I went to an oral surgeon who told me I need to get them out immediately and I should get a care credit card to pay for it. He also informed me that two of my teeth were sitting on a nerve and it's very possible that the nerves would get damaged after the surgery. Then I was referred to doctor Hale by my sister in law. I honesty don't believe I have ever met any human being in my life as amazing as him. Extremely ethical, highly experienced and very kind hearted. He looked at my panoramic film and said that given the fact that my wisdom teeth have been out for the past 25 years and haven't caused any problem, I won't need to do a surgery and get them out. He said he will do a surgery if it's absolutely needed and my teeth were very well kept with no decay and therefore, there was no reason to touch them. When I went to pay the office visit, I was informed that since we didn't do anything, I won't need to pay. This was my consultation visit. I can't remember the last time I walked out of a doctors' office without paying. The fact that he actually cares about his patients and doesn't see them as only checkbooks, made me realize that there are still good people in this world. Please, please, if you ever decide to do anything with your wisdom teeth, just get a second opinion from him. I promise you, that you will fall in love with this gem of a human being, his attitude, his ethics and his office staff, just like I did. Deserves all the stars in the world. read more

Let me start by saying this post is 100% authentic period. I've been to Dr. Hale twice for extractions one for a wisdom and one for a molar. Both were the quickest and most amazing extractions PERIOD. Literally PAINLESS, it's incredible I'm in SHOCK!! The recovery was two days on Motrin AND BARLEY ANY PAIN!! Kept my mouth clean, rinsed and I was done INCREDIBLE. Dr. Hale is on a whole other level seriously beyond legit. I had one tooth removed earlier this year from another dentist/surgeon. It was painful and difficult, cut open my gums, stitched them back together and I was down for almost a month. Pain was insane. (Don't go to anyone else but DR HALE SERIOUSLY) If you are looking at this comment section to finalize a decision and truly need some one amazing Dr Hale is the one I promise you!!! Thanks Dr Hale I truly appreciate you!!! -B read more

Dr. Hale is an amazing surgeon. Him and his entire staff and facility are top of the line.. I'm an anxious person but I had zero anxiety with him, his office or my procedure itself. The healing went very smoothly and I'd recommend this doctor to anyone! Thanks Dr. Hale for being so awesome and for going the extra mile to make your patients feel comfortable. read more

My wife and I agree and a 5* plus for Dr. Hale and staff. He is honest and a real gentleman. He will say what you need or don't need, nothing more and nothing less. What more can we say ! read more

I highly recommend to go to him for any oral surgery or cosmetic work down he qualified surgeon

Dr. Hale recently removed my son's 4 wisdom teeth & performed a Z-plasty at the same time. Dr. Hale and his staff were not only kind, but were patient and explained everything that they were doing and answered all questions my son I had. My son's procedures are healing perfectly and I couldn't be happier. I will gladly refer my family & friends to Dr. Hale's office. He is warm, friendly, funny & I'm glad to have met him & his staff! read more

I just visited Dr. Hale this week for the fourth time in three years. Each visit related to necessary tooth extractions. I was referred to him (and Dr. Jensvold) by my primary dentist of 40 years. If you have not already done so, research his credentials. In addition to the practical education and experience dentists need, his was also acquired while treating 1000's of wounded soldiers in the Mid-East (not to mention he was an officer in charge of training dentists!). With the aforementioned skills, he is caring, friendly, professional and runs a first class operation. The staff is courteous and patient with you from the front desk people to the technicians and everyone in between. Premises are very clean, modern and the atmosphere relaxing. Look no further if you are searching for a surgical dental professional. Also, I would have posted this years back but I only recently joined yelp*. read more

First of all Dr. Hale is my hero. I put off getting a dental implant for almost 2 years because I was so petrified. By chance I saw Dr. Hale on a different matter and so I brought up the issue of the implant. He took a great deal of time to explain to me the entire process with such confidence and such caring that I decided to go ahead with the procedure . I was put to sleep in the office and it went so easily and when the Novocain wore off I had no pain. He also follows his patients carefully and continues to follow them for two years after the implant. On top of that on the weekend of New Year's eve I had a dental emergency were a piece of my tooth broke off and for whatever reason my dentist had no back up. I called Dr. Hale's office and they told me to come right over and he patched it for me at no charge. He is an extremely skilled practitioner but more important he is a wonderful guy. When I had the implant he gave me a card with his personal cell phone in case I had any worries or problems. There is no one else that I would ever consider going to besides him even if I moved away. Also he did not take my particular insurance so I paid in cash and I thought it was quite reasonable considering how much she did including several CAT scans and the follow up appointment for months later to re-open the incision to get ready for the actual truth. read more

Dr Hale was very sensitive with my Mother who has Alzheimer's and needed a tooth pulled. He was very patient and caring. I had receding gums and came in another time and he took time to explain options and told me not to worry. We really had a great experience with their office and Dr Hale, himself. They even knew about dental insurance I was unaware of for my parents. read more

Dr. Hale was highly recommended to me for unusual and lingering post extraction pain. The original extraction was performed somewhere else. He is working diligently to lessen my pain with a variety of topical medications without the use of heavy medications. He is competent, caring, compassionate and determined to do anything possible to help me. I recommend him highly to anyone considering looking for a great dentist..he is the real deal. He has a great staff also! read more

I cannot rave enough about Dr. Hale and his staff. I had to have an implant almost immediately after having skin cancer surgery on my lower lip, which left the nerves in that whole area extremely upset. Dr. Hale was SOOO patient and so available, and just saw me through an extremely rough time. I would recommend him without hesitation -- I even drove out to Woodland Hills repeatedly for my procedures from West L.A.!!! I don't know if he takes insurance, because I don't have dental insurance, but his prices seemed very reasonable, and he has the latest equipment - it lets him pick out your implant on the computer so he knows when you arrive in surgery exactly what he's going to be doing. LOVE them!!!!! read more
