    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 finally decided recently that enough is enough and it's time for me to finally get them out. I received a referral from my dentist to come to OC Max Surgery. Making a consultation appointment here was super easy and I was able to come in within the week. Upon walking in, the staff was extremely friendly and greeted me with kindness. Checking in was very simple and the wait was not long. The facility overall is very clean and well kept with lots of great up to date technology. I had my consultation appointment with Jennifer and Dr. Farshidi, whom were both great. After Jennifer helped do my xrays, Dr. Farshidi said that one of my wisdom teeth was wrapped around a nerve, which made me anxious to hear at first, but he explained very clearly his strategy to keep my nerves safe and have a comfortable procedure, which put me to ease immediately. Jennifer and Dr. Farshidi also did a great job of informing me of how to prepare before my surgery and how to take care of myself after. Leaving me with all the tools needed to make this surgery as comfortable as possible. The day of the surgery I was able to check in quickly and they took me back to the surgery room. The nurses that were getting me ready were all very nice and made sure that I had an anxiety-free experience before the operation. The days following my surgery were honestly not bad at all. I had little to no pain and swelling the first few days. By day 4 post-op, the remaining pain and swelling had completely passed and I was pretty much back to normal. The post-op instructions given to me were very clear and concise which also really helped me have a smooth post-op recovery. I just came in today for my one week post-op check up with Nancy. Nancy said everything looked great and showed me how to go about irrigating my sockets. She was extremely friendly, patient, and very willing to answer all the questions I had. At one week post-op, I feel fabulous with absolutely zero pain, swelling, or other discomfort, and that's all thanks to the wonderful OC Max Surgery team! Thank you so much Dr. Farshidi, Jennifer, Nancy, and the rest of the staff here for all your kindness and support, you have all made this a very comfortable process for me and I'm so grateful. I'd definitely come here again if I ever have any future oral surgery needs and I will be recommending this place to friends and family. Thank you so much again!! :)

They were comforting and understanding. As for the surgery itself, everything was extremely smooth. We followed their post-op instructions and she didn't have any issues. She is so relieved to have it over with and so happy that it was very manageable. We will recommend OC Max to everyone we know!

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.

    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

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.

Her jaw was wired shut for weeks, and when it was finally unwired, we learned she would need six teeth extracted and extensive treatment, including bone grafts, sinus lifts, and six dental implants. Dr. Salib came highly recommended, and from the moment we met him, we knew we were in the best of hands. He immediately took charge of our daughter's case and made it a priority to see her as soon as possible. While other doctors recommended keeping her jaw wired shut for a longer period, Dr. Salib was the first to look beyond the injury and see the whole person. He understood the significant physical and emotional toll that remaining in that condition would have on a 20-year-old who had already endured so much. He felt it was not fair to prolong her recovery unnecessarily and, after carefully evaluating her, determined she was ready to move forward with treatment. His compassion, sound judgment, and willingness to advocate for what was best for our daughter made all the difference. Throughout this incredibly difficult journey, Dr. Salib treated our entire family with compassion, professionalism, and genuine kindness. Our daughter needed that level of care, but as her parents, so did we. He patiently explained every procedure, answered every question, and ensured we fully understood each step of the treatment plan. His expertise, confidence, and use of advanced technology gave us tremendous peace of mind. What impressed us even more was how far above and beyond he went. Since our daughter attends college in another state, Dr. Salib personally connected us with a trusted oral surgeon there and worked seamlessly with that doctor and our family dentist to coordinate her care. He also gave our daughter his personal cell phone number and encouraged her to call anytime with questions or concerns. That level of dedication is something you rarely find. Dr. Salib is not only brilliant in his field, but also one of the most caring physicians we have ever met. His staff is equally kind, supportive, and professional, making every visit a positive experience. Our family will be forever grateful for everything Dr. Salib has done for our daughter. Without hesitation, I give him my highest recommendation. If you are looking for an oral surgeon with extraordinary skill, compassion, and integrity, Dr. Salib is simply the best.

If you want an oral surgeon who's skilled AND doesn't make you feel like a number, this is the spot. Also the office is spotless, gorgeous and up to date on cutting edge tech. And bonus point because Doctor is a die-hard Lakers fan. Talking ball definitely helped ease the nerves too!
