This is not the dr to see if you have terrible dental phobia! I was already scared out of my mind at the thought of having my wisdom teeth out and this visit made it a million times worse. I'm sure his work is good but he didn't seem to grasp how scared I was and had me watch this video about the removal process which made things so much worse. He took 5 sec to look at my teeth and said oh ya not enough room.. that wasn't even the issue! I've had my wisdom teeth in for 20 years it's just that they are getting a lot of cavities so my dentist said it was time to talk about getting them out. I was literally in tears leaving the office. Maybe he was having a bad day or was super busy but it was a terrible appointment and I'll be seeing a different dr in the future.

I needed to have both of my lower wisdom teeth removed, and since I had never had any kind of tooth…read moreextraction or surgery before, I was extremely nervous. From the moment I walked into Honest Oral Surgeon, the staff made me feel at ease. They were professional, friendly, and very patient. After taking my X-rays, they carefully explained everything to me and answered all my questions. I also watched a pre-procedure instruction video, which helped me understand what to expect. When I met Dr. Kim, he was professional, clear, and straightforward. He explained my treatment options concisely and also pointed out potential risks related to my other teeth. After discussing everything together, we decided to take a conservative approach -- remove the wisdom teeth first and monitor the other teeth to see if they could recover over time. I really appreciated being involved in the decision-making process. The surgery itself was excellent. It was my first time receiving anesthesia and having teeth extracted, and I can honestly say I felt absolutely no discomfort. Dr. Kim removed both wisdom teeth efficiently and skillfully. (Yes, I could hear the drill and some hammering sounds -- which was a little funny -- but I felt zero pain.) After the procedure, I followed the instructions carefully, took the prescribed medication, and applied ice as recommended. It's now the second day, and I have no pain at all -- not even noticeable swelling. This is actually the longest Yelp review I've ever written, but I truly felt it was deserved. I highly recommend Honest Oral Surgeon and Dr. Kim to anyone who needs oral surgery.

He was professional, honest, respectful, and took the time to listen to our concerns. The surgical procedure went great and he even reached out personally to make sure there were no post surgical issues. I really, really appreciated that. In a world where most doctors don't care and leave this on their nurses and staff, his following up personally meant he really cared. I highly recommend this practice.

As a dentist, I have referred many patients to Dr. Daniel Hsu over the years, so when I needed an…read moreextraction and implant myself, there was never any question who I would choose. Even with my professional background, I am an anxious dental patient when I'm the one sitting in the chair. What I have always appreciated about Dr. Hsu is his ability to put patients at ease. He takes the time to explain procedures clearly, answers questions thoughtfully, and never makes anyone feel rushed. That same calm and reassuring approach made a real difference to me as a patient. My extraction and implant placement went smoothly, and the recovery was far easier than I expected, with minimal discomfort. The result was excellent. What impresses me most about Dr. Hsu is not only his surgical skill, but also his genuine care for his patients and his attention to detail. His entire team reflects those same qualities--professional, efficient, and truly committed to providing outstanding care. As a referring dentist, recommending Dr. Hsu to my patients has always been an easy decision. After experiencing his care firsthand, my confidence in him is even greater. Quite simply, he is the finest oral surgeon I have had the privilege of working with, and I admire him greatly. -- Dr. Y

I would go back to them in an instant for any other procedures. Also, special shoutout to his front desk team, who were friendly, responsive, and extremely patient and thorough in answering questions.

I went in on February 24th for my wisdom teeth removal, and Dr. Ali and the entire staff were…read moreincredibly kind and welcoming. I was extremely anxious because it was my first surgery and my first time being put under general anesthesia. However, they took the time to reassure me, explain everything clearly, and make sure I felt comfortable before the procedure began. Their calm and supportive attitude truly made a difference. They checked in with me, answered all of my questions patiently, and never made me feel rushed. The procedure itself went smoothly, and before I knew it, I was waking up feeling relieved. One especially kind dental assistant(I think her name was Valeria?) even helped me into a wheelchair afterward and personally brought me out to my dad's car, making sure I was safe and comfortable the whole time. That small act of care meant so much to me. I'm so grateful for how caring and professional everyone was. They turned what could have been a very scary experience into a positive one, and I highly recommend Dr. Ali and his amazing team!

It was an incredible experience. I've been full of anxiety for a couple of weeks for nothing. This doctor (Dr Ali Amrollahie) is so kind, so funny and makes you so relaxed while he's doing his job. His staff are top-notch. They run his business like a Well oiled machine. Janet, Caroline, Kelsey and Valarie and I hope I'm not leaving anybody else out if I am I'm sorry they are just so kind. It's the type of Office you call up and they answer the phone immediately when it rings. You don't get that a lot these days when you call a doctor or a dentist. Again, thank you for doing such a wonderful job of extracting my tooth and putting the bone graph in. I took a long nap when I got home thank you for all the prescriptions I picked them up and I'm feeling very good right now. It's about eight hours after my surgery and I was feeling great even when I left the office my husband and I went to the supermarket ha ha I was able to save my tooth too it was all intact I have it in a little baggie. It has been in my mouth from the time I was 12 years old, I was told. Thank goodness it's the very back molar.. again I highly recommend this Doctor for your oral surgery for anything in your mouth. You are well taken care of. Thank you again everybody! Stacey

Multiple dental offices were unable to treat him due to the need for medical clearance and hospital-based care. After several weeks of unsuccessful coordination, my father developed a fever and was admitted through the emergency department, where we met Dr. Thiede. Dr. Thiede evaluated my father in the hospital and proceeded with the removal of all infected teeth. My father was admitted on a Friday evening, seen by Dr. Thiede on Saturday morning, and the procedure was appropriately scheduled and completed on Sunday. Dr. Thiede was thorough, patient, and took the time to answer all questions, which was greatly appreciated given the complexity of my father's medical condition. The office and hospital staff were also professional, kind, and accommodating. During a follow-up visit, our wheelchair transport service canceled at the last minute, and my father had not been eating for several days post-discharge. Despite scheduling constraints, the staff accommodated his appointment without hesitation and without making us feel at fault. As a result of the care provided, my father is recovering well and has been able to resume eating. I am sincerely grateful to Dr. Thiede and his team for their professionalism, coordination of care, and compassionate approach in a medically complex case.
