I am definitely afraid of any sort of dental work. I needed a tooth extracted so I came to this office. Highly recommended.. The staff was phenomenal and the doctor was so amazing and professional. Everyone helped me to stay calm because they could tell I was super nervous.. It was amazingly painless, and I would come here again in a heartbeat. If you are like me and scared of dental work, I highly recommend this office!!! read more

Dr. Taghikhan is one of the nicest doctors I've ever met, and I really felt like he cared about my health and well being. Not only did he have a very good bedside manner, but he was also very competent as a surgeon. I had a complicated facial surgery 10 years ago after getting hit by a car, and I was dealing with some complications that needed the hardware to be removed. I had a spreadsheet of all the potential hospitals and surgeons and all 11 of them besides Dr. Taghikhan were either unwilling to do the surgery or were out of network and would charge tens of thousands of dollars (including the hospital where I got the original surgery). I felt so relieved when Dr. Taghikhan was willing to perform the surgery, and that he had plenty of experience with facial hardware implants at the hospitals he works at. I also have a disability (CRPS) that makes surgery very risky, since it can cause a severe flare up. Dr. Taghikhan was also willing to do everything he could to minimize this risk, which is something most surgeons might have been hesitant to do. On top of all that, he also quoted a price that was an order of magnitude cheaper than anywhere else. It seemed like he really wanted to help and wanted to make it as affordable as he could. Thank you Dr. Taghikhan! read more

My daughter had Dr. Taghikhan remove all her wisdom teeth under sedation. The entire care team was great-very nice and efficient. The procedure went well. Highly recommend! read more

I was recommended Dr. taghikhan by my dentist for a dental implant. Never had one, so I was generally anxious about the procedure but eventually everything went very smoothly from the front office to the doctor and payments. I felt I was in a good hand the moment I put foot in the office. Just finished everything yesterday and I waited till the end to put my review. Thank you Dr. Shahin for making me very comfortable throughout the experience I would definitely recommend this wonderful group of professionals read more

Completely satisfied with the entire staff They were absolutely fantastic from beginning to end. My son Devin had his wisdom teeth removed, he had some issues but the Dr. Was patient and understanding. He assured me it would be perfectly okay. When I called the office with a concern he returned my call asap, asked for a photo to gain a better understanding AND followed up the next day, these days that's almost unheard of. I highly recommend this office. Flexible payment schedule if that is a issue for you. Thank you Dr. T and staff !! read more

I recommend Dr. Shahin Taghikhan based on my several visits to his office for tooth extractions. Dr. Taghikhan is a highly-skilled oral surgeon, and he performed each of my tooth extractions with precision and effectiveness. I also appreciate his well-run office with friendly staff. The surgery assistants, in particular, impressed me the most. They were caring and thorough in preparing me both before and after the extraction surgery. read more

I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed last week and chose IV anesthesia. The whole process went much better than I expected. The staff was amazing and made me feel really comfortable and at ease on the day of surgery. I had very little pain and barely any swelling or bruising during recovery. Dr. T did an amazing job, and I really appreciated that he even does a follow-up call (unfortunately, I missed mine). My experience was great, and I highly recommend Dr. T to anyone needing their wisdom teeth removed. read more

The guy is alright for being a skilled oral surgeon. Great service from stat to finish. His office charges are less than the other crocks around always trying to charge extra for any visit. read more

This dentist will make sure your treated well and comfortable for surgical reasons. I got my implant done here after being afraid to get the procedure done and I am amazed on how well it went. I highly recommend this dentist and will only go here for surgical reasons. read more

100% Recommend. My 14 year old son needed wisdom teeth removed prior to taking off his braces. The front office was efficient. The clinic spotless. The doctor clear and confident -- even calling to check in on us. We felt safe, heard and taken care of. Pain free, painless experience. Dr. T was awesome! read more

AMAZING Doctor and AMAZING staff!! The office has a wonderful, positive vibe. I highly recommend.

We had such a great experience at Blossom Valley Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (as great as having oral surgery can be )! Our 6 year old was referred here by our pediatric dentist because she had an extra baby tooth where an adult tooth was coming in. Dr. Taghikhan was kind and extremely patient with her during the consultation and procedure. He clearly explained our options and the front office staff were all very responsive, friendly and thoroughly explained our insurance coverage and payment options. Everyone we interacted with in the office was so warm and caring and interacted so well with our daughter, even though it's not a pediatric focused office. He called that night to check on her recovery and the follow up appointment was quick and easy. I would highly recommend Dr. Taghikhan to others! read more

Had a great experience at this office getting my wisdom teeth removed. I was recommended Dr Taghikhan by a customer at my work and decided to make a consult appointment to FINALLY get my impacted tooth removed. I've been putting it off for years now but I'm so glad I found this location. The staff was kind and helpful getting my insurance info and verifying the amount I'd actually pay out of pocket with them. The day of I was very nervous but the staff took great care of me and made sure my parents were also informed about my after surgery care. It's now been a week and I am in no pain and healing well! Highly recommend! read more

If you need your wisdom teeth out and are looking for a quality oral surgeon, whose office really cares and gets to know you, THIS is the place. I can't recommend them highly enough. My experience: I called and got an appointment relatively soon, and they were able to work me into the surgery schedule the week after. During my consultation they took their time going over all of my concerns and didn't make me feel rushed. I wanted to do it under local anesthetic, which they obliged (thankfully! Lots of other surgeons said they wouldn't, or would only tell me after the pricey consultation). Doctor Taghikhan let me know it might not be very comfortable, but that they would do it right. When the day came for the surgery, they made everything very simple - great, since I was pretty nervous. They numbed me up and gave me plenty of time to make sure it was working before they began. And then the doc went right to work! We were through the first one in no time, and then he let me rest before deciding when to begin the second one. This little break made all the difference - I felt like I was really in control of the situation. After they finished up the second tooth, they showed me how to pack the gauze and went over the recovery instructions one more time before I left. Later on that day, the doctor actually gave me a call to check up on how I was doing. I can't even describe how caring this place is! And so affordable! The consultation was put towards the price of the wisdom teeth removal, so it worked out to be just over $1000. Seriously. I've healed up great, and it's all thanks to Dr. Taghikhan and his office. This is the place to go! read more

Dr. Taghikan's practice truly stands out for its transparent and reasonable pricing, as well as its extremely professional, patient-first approach. My wisdom tooth extraction was impressively efficient -- from anesthesia to completion, the entire procedure took no more than 15 minutes. I also appreciated the comprehensive after-care instructions, which made recovery smooth and stress-free. It's been three hours since surgery, the numbing has worn off, and I still feel no pain at all. Highly recommend Dr. Taghikan and his team for anyone looking for exceptional dental care. Also the Staff are all very friendly and helpful read more

I recently had my wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Taghikhan and assisted by Rosio, and I honestly could not have asked for a better experience! I was really nervous going in, but from the moment I arrived, they both made me feel completely comfortable and cared for. Rosio was amazing! So kind, patient, and attentive. She explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and made sure I was calm before the procedure. Her friendly personality truly helped ease my nerves! The whole team was organized, clean, and efficient. My recovery has been smooth, and they even followed up to make sure I was healing well. If you need wisdom teeth removal or any dental work, I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Taghikhan! Thank you again! -Arleen J. read more

Great quality care that's both quick and relatively painless. Worked with me and my budget to make sure I could get the best care possible.

First off I want to say thank you to the staff and Dr. Taghikhan for doing a great job at removing my wisdom teeth. At first, I was very hesitant for so long on getting my wisdom teeth removed because I didn't want to deal with the discomfort and pain from them being removed. But after I had my appointment on Monday 4/7 my recovery has been better then expected, I've had minimal pain and recovery has been great. Dr. Taghikhan and his team took great care of me and I would recommend 100%. If I had known about him sooner I would have got them removed long ago but that's okay because now I don't ever have to deal with the constant pain anymore from having them in. Can't wait to start my braces journey now THANK YOU AGAIN! read more

I did not have my wisdom teeth removed when I was younger. Finally 2 needed to be extracted and I was referred to Dr. Taghikhan. He and his entire team were very professional and the extraction went smoothly. Having wisdom teeth extracted is not a pleasant thing but Dr. Taghikhan's experience and manner made it as easy as possible. read more

An amazing facility and team! Was taken care of with professional care and quality. Would 10/10 recommend to family and friends!

I had the best experience here from start to finish. Of course everyone is nervous for wisdom teeth removal but I have to say that Dr. T and his staff really take the time to make sure your questions are answered and you're well taken care of. I went for a consult last June and just had my surgery. I was 100% out and glad to be. Aftercare was very easily laid out, and the office made sure to call and checkup on me. I go for my follow up in a few days and am very pleased. Definitely recommend you check them out if you're in need of oral surgery. read more

Such a wonderful experience! Everyone was so knowledgeable and friendly, and the office is run so efficiently. Dr. T is friendly and answered all of my questions. Actually, the reason why I chose this place was that my dentist recommended them. I had wanted to go somewhere closer to my house, and called two other places. Dr. T himself called me back after hours! From tech Andrew at my first appointment, front desk staff answering ALL of my post op questions thoroughly, to Rocio at my last, this was a truly professional experience. No matter how many times I called post surgery, they were understanding, and never made me feel like it was too much. Christina and Stacy - I think? - get kudos! Also, the price was right; the other places I checked were as much as 4x the price. I don't have insurance, and there's a discount for non-insurance payers. If I could give this place over 5 stars, I would!!! read more

Outstanding care! My wisdom teeth removal (surgery) was quick, smooth, and far less stressful than I imagined. He is a doctor with skilled hands and a truly compassionate approach. The Staff is friendly and respectful. Highly recommended. read more

I had a really amazing experience coming here for my wisdom teeth removal. The initial consultation was really helpful and made me feel comfortable and confident with the plan Dr. Taghikhan presented me with. I got an estimate at that time and scheduled my appointment that same day! The surgery itself only took about 15-25min (I only needed 1 tooth removed) and the entire team was so friendly and welcoming throughout. read more

Dr. Taghikhan is clearly an experienced pro at what he does -- I'm certain he could have done my procedure in his sleep. Using my cheek muscles to hold the gauze in place gave me more soreness than the wound itself: I was able to eat solid food that same day. All of the staff are equally professional and attentive. Can't wait to need oral surgery again! read more

Had the absolute best experience with Dr. Taghikhan and his team. His office is warm and welcoming, and his staff is friendly, kind and patient. He was professional, thorough and made what felt like a daunting experience easy to handle. Would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat. So grateful for him and his team! read more

Two weeks ago, I visited my regular dentist with an abscessed tooth. We decided to try and save the tooth. He sent me home with antibiotics. The next day, my face had turned into a balloon. The dentist called Dr Taghikhan, who told him to send me to Good Samaritan with a referral form, and to wait. He came into the ER on his lunch break, and told me he was definitely going in as soon as he could. That night at 10 pm, I was wheeled into the OR (a nurse later told me that if they had an OR for me at 10 pm on a Friday night, it was pretty serious). About 90 mins or so later, I woke up pain-free, minus a tooth and with a deflating face. They kept me there for four days to make sure the antibiotics were kicking in and that the infection was abating. Dr Taghikan was there regularly to keep on top of my healing. As far as pain goes, I didn't even need Ibuprofen during my stay. We're now beginning the implant process. Two days ago, he prepared what was left of the tooth socket for the implant. He took great care to ensure that I'd have enough bone to take the implant. This was a bit more painful...but after a day, with antibiotics and Motrin, the pain has gone completely away. I'm very grateful that my dentist at Blossom Dental Excellence referred me to Dr. Taghikan. I'm equally grateful that he took the time out of a busy day to get me fixed-up, so I can write this review. read more

PLEASE NOTE: My issue is not with any treatment. I have not seen them. My issue is their refusal to give me any idea what my care is going to cost, even though they are in my dental network. I have a cracked wisdom tooth that needs to be removed. I asked for an 'estimate'. not a hard fixed price. I got back a quick reply (giving credit where credit is due) saying they won't do that. But I do have to go in for new X-Rays, I guess because he ones taken yesterday have dramatically changed. That will be out of my pocket. Then we have to discuss treatment 'options' like there is an alternative to removing it. Maybe they have some magic healing option that will put the tooth back together again! EVERY insurance carrier has a written price on what they will cover, what they will pay for every procedure. ALL providers have that info, but almost none will share that info. Until we as consumers demand price transparency, we will continue to be at the mercy of health providers who refuse to help us make informed choices. read more

Had the chance to visit Dr Taghikhan to get my consult in getting my wisdom teeth out and also had a wonderful experience getting my wisdom teeth out as well. Dr Taghikhan is warm and welcome, and definitely makes you feel comfortable in making a decision to take out wisdom teeth. I had all my wisdom teeth pulled out in one sitting. Being a 30 year old, this is a painful experience, but thankfully Dr T and team did a good job taking care of me. I do appreciate that he does a careful job in order to make sure your teeth are out without any complications - it makes me trust the doctor more. Overall, would highly recommend Dr Taghikhan for Wisdom teeth consultations and removal - you won't be disappointed! read more

I'm very appreciative of my experiences with Dr. T, Dr. Nix, and the whole team. I've had multiple visits to their office for dental implants and plan for more in the future. They make the process very seamless and explain their knowledge to me so I can understand too. I can tell Dr. T cares about the work he does and the people he works with. I would recommend them to everyone! read more

I was referred to Dr. Taghikhan by my dentist for a dental implant of a tooth I broke off. I needed a dental office that is wheelchair accessible and this office is fully accessible. I am so glad I was referred here, because the doctor and his staff are very helpful, friendly and, most important, competent. We were greeted immediately, and there was no waiting. The front desk person was cheerful, efficient and not officious. The surgical dental assistances were also friendly and helpful. They knew what to do without being told. They were helpful transferring me from wheelchair to dental chair. I am a retired dental assistant, so I appreciated their knowledge and professionalism. Dr Taghikhan was a great surgeon. I entered with a broken tooth and left with an implant screwed into my jaw and no pain. Doctor Taghikhan explained the procedure thoroughly. He was quick but careful and completed the procedure very efficiently. Highly recommend this office for your dental surgery. read more

Very kind surgeon. You can tell he cares about his patients. They are very easy to communicate with. Explained everything well and did a great job! read more

Quality and quick service! V professional.when UCSF and Stanford had one year wait , grateful to have found him. Friendly staff too.

Highly recommend. We took my 6-year to a dentist and a different oral surgeon for a tooth extraction without success. General anesthesia was recommended as a result. Dr Taghikhan took the time to discuss the procedure with my daughter and was able to remove the tooth quickly and without pain. My daughter had a great experience and we were able to avoid general anesthesia. read more

I really appreciate how attentive Dr. Taghikhan is, he truly takes the time to listen to all my concerns and multitude of questions with an honest answer. My experience with a molar extraction and bone graft went very well and I basically had no pain during recovery. I was very nervous about the procedure but Dr. T and his caring assistant were so calm and professional, it just put me at ease. I also appreciated Dr. T checking in with me that evening. The office is so well run, immaculate and welcoming, it is a pleasure to walk in the door :). You are in good hands here. read more

Had wisdom teeth surgery done here! 5/5 super fast and they were great! Had minimal pain after and recovery went great! Definitely recommend. read more

Just got all four wisdom teeth pulled here. The staff is extremely caring and helpful. The doctor was so knowledgeable and thorough and really cared about my comfort and well being. I am normally very fearful of anything to do with dentistry and surgery but they took care of me and put me at ease. It's been 6 hours since my procedure and I'm not even in any pain yet. Swelling is minimal so far. Thank you to all the staff that helped me. You are wonderful. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Taghikhan and his office staff for all your dental needs. I was able to get an appointment with his office very quickly and Dr. Taghikhan performed a thorough examination and explained the details of the treatment and answered all my questions. His staff was very easy to work with and very kind. My procedure was pain free and very professional. read more

There was a billing error after my surgery and a statement was sent to me requesting additional payment. I called the office and they clarified that the statement was a mistake. There was nothing upsetting up until this point. As part of the same conversation/process, I realized that I was overcharged by $18. When I said I would appreciate it if it could be refunded (which they verbally agreed to), I was told in a sarcastic tone to enjoy the $18 and was borderline hung up on. If I were to owe $18, I would have been asked to pay the difference, so it was disappointing to me that the person I spoke to reacted this way. read more

I want to give warmest thanks to Dr Taghikhan and his entire clinic, for helping me when I did not think it could happened so fast and so professional. I found Dr Taghikhan's clinic on line and I called for an appointment for a more complex surgery of remaining parts from a wisdom tooth, left after a previous procedure done by another dental provider. My experience with Dr Taghikhan and his team was great, front desk were on top of providing quotes for me, were clear and rapid on explaining what is covered. Surgery was scheduled within few days. I did not have to wait in the waiting room at all, and during the surgery, Dr Taghikhan was providing me reassurance and updates in real time. I felt heard and involved in my own treatment plan and decision making, considering it was not a regular extraction. Incredible enough, after one hour surgery, after all sedation was gone, I had no pain. I am so relieved, knowing that my follow up is scheduled a week after surgery and Dr Taghikhan already called to check on me, at the end of the surgery day. All my family will become Dr Taghikhan's patients. Highly recommend this clinic! read more
