Imagine going to an auto shop to fix a flat tire. You pay, drive away, and 10 minutes later the…read moretire is flat again. When you go back, they tell you they can repair it, but you'll have to pay a second time. That was my experience with Dr. Alex McDonald. I ended up being charged an additional $300 to have a hole that was left behind re-stitched because it had become impossible to clean properly. This was in their email response when I pushed back. "The courtesy adjustment of $1,516.40 was applied to the 3D scan, 1 hour of IV sedation, and the debridement of the lower right area. This was basically all at no charge." All of which I paid for on my intital visit. What was most concerning was that when I shared this experience with other dentists and mentioned his name, none of them seemed surprised

I came here for a consultation on wisdom teeth removal. I was looking forward to speaking with the…read moresurgeon and asking them some questions as I was hesitant about the surgery. However, I found the surgeon to be very dismissive - they didn't greet me, they interrupted me every time I tried to speak or pose a question and they in general seemed to be in a hurry. The surgeon also tried to upsell me on a post surgery procedure that I did not need (I would later learn). Overall, I felt very uncomfortable with their bedside manner. Last, the office forgot to give me my X-ray that I had taken during my visit only to mail it to me several weeks later without paying for the postage. I ended up having to do so when my mailman made the delivery to my home. It was not a pleasant experience. Overall, I'm glad that I trusted my gut and did not pursue getting my wisdom teeth removal here after my experience. I went to another nearby surgeon and had a great experience and paid much less as well. I would encourage others, if they can, to seek a second opinion and then make your decision from there. I am glad I did.

I fear the day I would have to get my wisdom teeth removed. That day came. *(scary music plays…read morehere)*. Gasp! It was the middle of Spring. The wind was steadily blowing as I walked through the thick glass doors of the cream building. Up the elevator and into the doctor's office I entered. Sweat dripped down my forehead and my stomach churned into a knot. When the nurses laid me down and asked me to count to ten... I knew there was no going back. *(scary music plays here)* Eeeek. Eeek. Nurse: Wake up! Me: eh???? Nurse: Your done. Wow that was fast! Other than feeling sleepy, I didn't feel any pain whatsoever. The nurses are super friendly and so is Dr. Franz . Best of all, I got some stickers at the end. Yay! I skipped all the way home after wards. Actually no. That was just the drugs talking. Tee-hee!

I have had 3 serious surgeries over a period of 7 years done by Dr. Franz. I can relate to most…read moreevery comment in the reviews, both good and bad. I will start by saying Dr. Franz is a master at what he does. My most recent surgery was, as described by my dentist, one of the most technically difficult maxillar surgeries there is. I was under for almost 2 hours (if that gives you some idea of how serious this was). I cannot give anything but the utmost praise for Dr. Franz' work. All of the surgeries I have had by him have been textbook perfect, and I incurred as little pain as could be imagined (2 of the 3 - NONE - including this most recent one). As with so many others who have written reviews, he was referred to me by my dentist, who prefers not to work with any other surgeon, period. Also as reviewed by others, the staff is unbelievable. They are helpful, pleasant, knowledgeable. One couldn't ask for more, from the front desk person to the assistants, the scheduler, the bookkeeper. Thank you, all of you, for being so terrific! The office may be dated, but as someone else said, I think it's just standard, and I have never found it to be dirty. A friend of mine who went to Dr. Franz told me she thought the place was dirty, so after she said that, I searched each room I've been in each time I've been there, and I cannot find anything about it that makes me think it is less than clean. As for the furniture, who cares!? Dr. Franz is in his mid-70s. At this time in his life, why would he spend money on furniture? Who cares if the place is "trendy" or not - certainly not my teeth or jaw! Were he to upgrade, the costs would only be passed on to the customers anyway. I don't go there for the furniture, and couldn't care less, as long as it's clean. If you want chic surroundings, go somewhere else. If you want the best oral surgeon, bar none, go to Dr. Franz. Now the bad stuff. As I mentioned at the top, I can relate to both the good and most of the bad comments. Dr. Franz can be condescending, rude, offensive, sarcastic. I have gotten responses similar to the woman who asked about drugs and nursing. E.g., the other day, I asked him about complications from the type of work he was going to do on my sinus. His response: "All surgery has risks." Well, duh! I'm not am imbecile - I know all surgeries have risks. I'd asked specifically about sinus surgeries, however, and that response was condescending and simply unnecessary. This is unfortunate, because Dr. Franz is also interesting, witty, pleasant. He is incredibly intelligent, competent, artistic. He has been all over the world, is a great photographer (in fact, mixed with all that dated furniture are great photos from all over the world - all of which he has taken!), and an all-around great guy. But he can be moody and one never knows what mood he's going to be in on any particular day. Fortunately, his moodiness has decreased tremendously over the past 2-3 years and I have not experienced any of it for that time. I continue to go to him because there is no question he is the absolute best at what he does, and considering the severity of my problems (my upper jaw, the maxilla, is disintegrating and I have had to have the whole thing reconstructed), I will put up with any potential moodiness because my jaw and its repairs need to last a lot longer than the time I spend at Dr. Franz' office. This is said after having been to many oral surgeons over a period of years - NOBODY's skills compare to Dr. Franz'. The women who work for him (with one exception) have all been there for years and understand his shortcomings, and are very supportive when you come out of the room looking like: WTF just hit me?! They know. So, it's a balance. Ultimately, his work is what counts, and as I started this review off with, he is a master at his craft, an artist. I wouldn't go to anyone else, personality moody or not. Leaving the personality "quirks" out, he would get 10 stars from me if I could give them. And even with the moodiness, I have to keep in mind what I go to him for, and what I go to him for, he deserves all credit due. Would it be nicer if I didn't have to wonder what mood he would be in on any particular day? Of course. However, he still gets 5 stars because he is a master at what he does. And with all of that said, I HIGHLY recommend him for any oral surgical procedures you may need.

I told him about my need for the Xray, he said no problem just call the lady tomorrow and we'll take care of you, no problem.

I came to Dr. Suen for braces when I was a teenager. When he changed my wire, he would snip the…read moreback side of my cheek a few times. It hurt, a lot. And even when I say be careful, he was still super rough with me. Instead of cutting the back of the wire, he would cut my cheeks. Several years later, I went to get one wisdom tooth removed by him because he was the only orthodontist surgeon I worked with. Also, at the time, I was in college and couldn't afford to pay for all four removals myself. He not only effed up my bottom cheeks and gums more, there's still scarring till this day. So glad he didn't do the other three because my mouth would've been even more scratched and cut up. And instead of offering me anesthesia to knock me out, he kept me awake and banged away with a hammer and chisel to break up the tooth. There was so much pressure on my jaw I felt like it was going to pop off. This really sucked. I went to another oral surgeon for the other three wisdom teeth because I was not going to go through this experience again. I DO NOT recommend him at all for any procedures, not even sure how he is for cleanings but I doubt it would be any better.
