I recently got my 4 wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Sohoni. My experience has been nothing but awesome from the very beginning. He took his time in explaining the procedure, post recovery, etc. He was extremely kind and punctual. On the day of surgery, his entire team was ready for me on dot. The surgery was painless and I had little to no swelling the following days. They were kind enough to give me a call the same day to ask for my well being and set up a follow up appointment in a week. Overall, my experience was great and I would highly recommend him. read more

Dr.Sohoni is wonderful . I got all my 4 wisdom tooth removed and he did a fine job . I was not under pain even after the numbness is gone and I was able to have solid food within 2 days. There was no pain no bleeding at all. I strongly recommend him read more

I had my tooth pulled out with anesthetic (needed an anesthesiologist in staff), bone grafting, stitching done, a one tooth denture given to me all in less than an hour.There was absolutely no pain at all. After I came home, I took one motrin and there was no bleeding at all. After 2 weeks, went it to get the stitches removed, I was out of the office in 8 minutes. Dr. Sahoni is an amazing person, explains things very well, very personable and an excellent oral surgeon. Would not go anywhere else. read more

I was pretty concerned about getting my wisdom teeth removed given all the horror stories I've heard. However, I was very pleasantly surprised by the speed of my recovery. Got all 4 removed on a Friday and was basically eating everything (carefully) within 3 days and was back at work no problem; in fact I disappointed quite a few people who wanted to take funny pictures of my swollen cheeks :P. I was pretty much fully recovered after 7 days, and I essentially forgot the surgery happened within 14 days. The only side affect that took a while to go away was some minor swelling and tenderness in the gums around my bottom second molars, but this is normal given that I had a low-level infection in the wisdom teeth that used to be behind them. I cannot recommend Dr. Sohoni and his staff highly enough, they are true professionals and he clearly knows his trade well. For anyone who's worried about their wisdom teeth removal, I tell them unequivocally that Dr. Sohoni will make it seem like a walk in the park! read more

He is an expert surgeon, I had wisdom tooth extraction few months ago and it was great experience that I had minimum pain through out healing which is not annoying too. I wanted to give him 4.5 but dont find such rating so did justice for his clinic. Now I have one more appointment today, will see if he is going to retain my current rating :-) read more

Nothing can quite ruin your life like a FAILED ROOT CANAL and the prospect of losing a tooth and having to do an implant. I have a great DDS who, instead of talking me into extraction/implant, suggested I should see an oral surgeon to re-evaluate if it's possible to save the tooth. Dr Sohoni was the first choice. I was told that Dr Sohoni is Harvard grad with years of experience but I didn't feel that elite school stigma when I was in his office. He was professional, attentive and upfront about the treatment plan and the cost. His staff is fantastic too - they were very helpful and friendly, but most importantly, they were on top of things during assisting. His whole office is state of the art, but I was in awe of the CT scan. They scanned my whole head and dr can actually click to see only the soft tissue on the screen or only the teeth or bone. I've never seen such a cool print of my own teeth - I could see the soft tissue, the actual infection, the bone degradation due to infection - I mean I could actually SEE it with my own eyes instead of having to imagine it or take dr's word for it. It's a great diagnostic tool for him but for me as a patient that made a world of difference. For once i felt like i wasn't just there to OPEN WIDE, close my eyes and wait awkwardly until it's all over. Instead I felt like I was actually included in my own treatment. Dr Sohoni explained and showed me why my root failed (several factors) and explained the complications it may present as he walked me through the treatment plan and the fallback, if necessary. I won't get all TMI about the surgery but the procedure was APICO including a bone graft (this is only gonna make sense if you need one). Sounds scary but it went surprisingly fast. I didn't feel the shot and when it was done I was given a painkiller to hold me off until I pick up prescription. Long and behold I didn't even need a painkiller afterwards at all. Week later he removed my stitches and the pain is gone. YES!!!! If you need to see an oral surgeon, I'd highly recommend dr Sohoni's office!! read more

I was referred to Dr. Sohoni for my wisdom teeth removal. Initially, I was reluctant to get them removed, I am glad I went to Dr. Sohoni as he did a great job. I got three of my wisdom teeth removed at the same time, thanks to Dr. Sohoni's recommendation. I was put to sleep during the surgery, so I never felt a thing :-) and the surgery took only an hour. His office provides with a 3 page prep instructions, I followed this completely - I had very minimal pain for a couple of days. His office staff Nav and others were professional and responsive to my calls - can't thank them enough! I would like to thank Dr. Sohoni for his solid professional work on my wisdom teeth extraction. read more

Dr. Sohoni is the best! He is thorough, very skilled and knows exactly what is necessary to be done and does it to the T. I was referred by my dentist to Dr. Sohoni for Wisdom tooth extraction. The extraction process was a little different from the standard one since my tooth was growing weird. Dr. Sohoni explained clearly what would be done and how it would help when I went for a consultation. I got an appointment for a convenient day and was given instructions of the "how-to" post the procedure. The staff was very helpful and gave a call to remind and confirm my appt. On the day of the procedure, I was nervous. But the team was extremely friendly and put me at ease. The actual procedure was completed in 30mins and I was out in an hour. I was lucky to experienced very little pain and swelling post the procedure. The staff gave me a call on the same day to check on me and how I was feeling! It was a great experience! Would highly recommend approaching Dr. Sohoni if you need to get a dental procedure done! read more

I just had my wisdom teeth pulled her a few days ago, and I have to say I dont think anywhere else could have made it more comfortable. The consultation appointment was fast, quick to the point, and the dental assistants made sure I was covered as much as I could. They found an immediate appointment, and answered all questions I had. Day of surgery, they made me feel so relaxed, and his anesthesiologist, is really funny and made smoothed me into evertyhing. The surgery was quick, and their dental assistants made me feel safe before my ride came to get me (plus they took my funny sense of humor due the laughing gas politely...who knows what I was saying haha) Overall, I will always highly suggest this office. read more

I had all four wisdom teeth surgically extracted last month, and am very pleased with the results. Since I was 30 and they were all deeply impacted, it was a risky procedure. I really appreciated that he took the time to make my options clear during my consultation, and let me decide based on the facts. I was so nervous the day of surgery, but it went fine, and his anesthesiologist was also funny and friendly. I didn't even have to use all of the painkiller prescription afterwards. I highly recommend this Dr., especially after having a negative experience with another dentist right beforehand. read more

I had a great experience with my top 2 wisdom teeth removal. It was done under general anaesthesia in half an hour and didn't feel anything even after I woke up. I didn't feel any pain whatsoever. I was able to lead normal life and normal diet from very next day. Awesome experience and good service. read more

Dr Sohoni extracted 5 of my wisdom teeth and from start to finish the service and care I received was great. I would highly recommend Dr Sohoni for any dental work . read more

Got my wisdom teeth removal here. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. The surgeon was very fast and professional. I felt numb for couple hours after the surgery but that was about it for the pain. It was absolutely no pain during the surgery. read more

I was terrified about getting an impacted wisdom tooth removed; so terrified that I waited a good 10 years (at least) to get it done. Dr. Sohoni is amazing! Not only was the Novocaine shot painless, but he was quick with removing that darned infected tooth - it took him like 5 seconds. His office staff is also very friendly, and they kept a very paranoid me quite calm. My socket healed up quickly, with very little bleeding, plus his office called to see how I was doing the next day. I highly recommend this dentist! read more

Sharad is simply the best. Not only is he calming presence when one is in the 'hot seat' but he is super efficient. This surgeon has got some skills. I had 3 impacted wisdom teeth extracted....all in one go. I was expecting the worst pain imaginable post operation but there was practically none...due his expert during and post operative care/instructions. If it were possible to give 10 stars i would - becasue it is well earned and deserved. read more

Dr Sohoni is a skilled surgeon with amazing bedside manners. We approached him for wisdom tooth extraction. Case was tricky since wisdom tooth was touching the underlying nerve. Dr Sohoni made us feel very comfortable with the procedure and did an excellent job with removal. I'd highly recommend Dr sohoni. read more

Dr Sharad Sohoni is the consumate professional. I was dreading getting my 3 remaining wisdom teeth removed and had been putting it off. But, the good doctor did it with such ease, I was in and out in no time. I had no pain after the procedure and very little discomfort, which was not the case when I had the 1st one pulled out. Dr Sharad's staff were also very helpful. He has a great bedside manner and a sense of humour. I would whole heartedly recommend Dr Sharad to anyone. read more

I had 2 treatments, both were excellent. Dr. and his staff are very good. Keep up the hard work. read more

It's been over a year since I saw Dr. Sohoni. I got into a freak car accident which resulted in a broken jaw. Trying to find an oral surgeon on the peninsula was pretty nerve-wracking but when I went into Dr. Sohoni's office I instantly felt more at ease after talking with him. He performed the surgical repair brilliantly. My mouth was wired shut for 6 weeks and I had a few post-surgery appointments to make sure I was healing okay. His staff was outstanding and very responsive with any inquiries, e.g. insurance billing. Hi Sabrina & co.! For such a nightmarish accident, Dr. Sohoni helped soothe the experience to full recovery. Aces! read more

the worst experience I had with a dentist or an oral surgeon. referred by a dentist for an implant consultation, the office charged me a hefty fee for 10 minutes talk. tried to negotiate a lower payment , but instead they asked for more money and immediately threatened to resort to collect agency if I don't pay. all they care is to get your money . read more

Horrible office; the employees billed wrong insurance first, then billed by actual insurance incorrectly (not for the type of service I received), then they were rude and insulting over the phone over it. It took me persistent complaints to get the billing right. Would never deal with this office again. read more

Dr. Sohoni performed the removal of four of my wisdom teeth on 10/2. I initially selected Dr. Sohoni because he was in-network for my dental insurance plan and had received good reviews on Yelp from previous patients. During my initial visit with Dr. Sohoni, he reviewed X-rays that my dentist had performed and I believe also did a second set at his office. He explained candidly the risks associated with a bottom tooth close to the nerve. He explained that in some situations they will merely take off the top of the tooth and leave the root intact to avoid risk of nerve damage. How a surgeon handles these types of situations is important. A family member of mine had face numbness for several months after a poorly executed wisdom tooth removal, it is a really unpleasant outcome. Based on his explanation I felt confident that Dr. Sohoni would know how to handle this risk. For the top two teeth, he explained the pros and cons of removal as they were somewhat high. In the end, I decided to take all four out since it was likely the top would come down at some point in the future. I was happy that he took the time to surface this decision to me, rather than opting for all four by default. His staff were helpful in checking on the cost of the procedure with my insurance plan. I had no out of pocket costs for the procedure. Other patients have complained about this, but so far my bill is consistent with the information they provided. My insurance covered about 80% of the charge amount, and my EOB states of the other 20% "CHARGES ARE REDUCED BY $509.00. THE PATIENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR $.00." I'll continue to watch for unexpected charges, but I don't foresee any issues based on the information from my insurance company (Principal Dental) provided. Prior to surgery, my mom, a former ICU nurse, was active in ensuring standard surgical SOP's were in place. I believe that Dr. Sohoni's team did a good job following standard medical checklists for preparing and executing the procedure. In particular, I was receiving general anesthesia (including propofol) to ensure that I would not move while they were extracting the tooth close to the nerve. Given the extra risks involved in general we checked that 1) there would be an anesthesiologist MD in the room the team 2) the team would be using the pulse oximeter at all times during the procedure. #1 is important because although most oral surgeons who perform general anesthesia on their own are licensed and have no safety issues, an anesthesiologist has far more training in handling emergency situations. The added bonus is that their only job is to keep you alive while the surgeon is focused on other things. #2 is important because the pulse oximeter keeps tabs on your blood oxygen level so the team can take action if you dip too low and are at risk of cardiac arrest. Recent cases of young people dying during oral surgery are likely related to a lapse in the pulse oximeter monitoring (ex: someone forgot to turn it on). Dr. Sohoni was very gracious during our extensive Q&A period and additional medical quizzing and answered my mom's questions patiently. During the procedure as I was going under I heard him tell the team "keep that pulse oximeter on!" I felt much better going into the procedure because I felt the team was responsive to my concerns. Following the procedure, Dr. Sohoni's staff called to follow up and answer my questions, and during a follow up appointment provided the necessary sanitation syringe for post-procedure care. At one point when one of the stitches opened to reveal a gap in the back of my mouth (a common outcome during the healing process), I was concerned and sent a picture to their office. They promptly addressed my concerns. Finally, I had an extremely smooth recovery with nearly no swelling and little need for the hydrocodone prescription for pain. This was much better than I expected, and appreciated that everything went so smoothly. read more

I had suffered with a toothache for 3 days and two nights. My dentist referred me to Dr. Sohoni. I had my tooth pulled today. Honestly (and my strength is my honesty), Dr. Sohoni did such a great job, that the words "artist," "craftsperson," and, especially, "good doctor" are now associated with him in my mind. I called yesterday, and I was told that the procedure would take 45 minutes. Forty five minutes is the entire time I spent in the office; the procedure itself took around 5-6 minutes. I am very grateful to Dr. Sohoni for the ability and care that he shows. His staff, as well, added to the pleasure (and relief) of my visit today. In this case, the saying "no pain, no gain" is entirely false. Again, very grateful. Thank you very much, Dr. Sohoni and staff. read more

Seriously this is the best dentist I have ever been to!For 6 years now I have been trying to avoid getting my wisdom teeth extracted because of the whole thing of going through a surgery and general anesthesia.My wisdom teeth were infected and every 3-4 months I got on antibiotics and painkillers to get rid of the swelling and pain . I almost ruined my health because of this. Finally I got all of them pulled out ! And I think I made the best decision of my life. This place is almost magical . The staff here are so friendly and kind that they take all the fear away from you as soon as you enter the doctors chamber ! Getting all my wisdom teeth out were one of the best experiences I ever had! I was so so freaked out and scared before I got there that I was like I almost wanted to cancel the surgery but again as I said it was just awesome that I didn't cancel it ! So anybody who is scared of dentists you will start liking them ! read more

Just got home from having 3 wisdom teeth extracted by Dr. Sohoni, and I echo everything I've read by others on here. Very nice and professional staff, Dr. explained my x-rays and the procedure, anesthesiologist was very kind and friendly, extraction was quick and seemed almost too easy! (I'm still numb, so I can say I'm painless for now, though I'm sure I will feel a little discomfort later, but that's normal)... Very pleased with my experience here and would easily recommend to others! read more

My husband took our 14yr old daughter for her initial consultation of wisdom teeth extraction, that went well. The day we went in for the actual procedure he was already running 30mins behind. My daughter was scared of the needle to put her to sleep but the anesthesiologist was so patient and caring he wanted her to feel comfortable and at ease something that clearly bothered the physician because we had to use general anesthesia. After her procedure he called me into his office, as a mother I was scared something bad had gone wrong and thank God nothing did, but he told me that I should have told him my daughter was going to react that way. And thanks to her, this put him way behind schedule. I think that was unprofessional, uncaring, and inconsiderate to put a patient in that position. I work for a physicians office and never have we told a patient "thanks to you we are late in seeing patients!" His Team is very nice and caring! Only reason I'm giving 2 stars. read more

You don't need to look any further....he is the BEST in the valley!!! - He is calm and funny. He has an easy-going personality, He's very intelligent. (graduated from Harvard with honors.) He doesn't have an ego like the other 2 that I wasted my money and time on before coming to him to do the work. You don't have to be an ego-maniac when you know your profession. Dr. Sohoni just calmly and confidently goes about his business. I trusted him right away, which is the most important thing for me. He takes the time to explain exactly what he will do He is gentle. I am a very nervous patient and he put me at ease His staff is very professional and friendly and his office is clean. My intentions initially were to have a general anesthesia. But after discussing the procedure, he told me I could save alot of money by having a local done. (My insurance benefits are not good for covering general anesthesia) He said we could start out with a local and if that was not working, he'd put me out. I did a local and I'm happy that I did! I took it easy the rest of the day, and I wasn't groggy or out of it. It's a good feeling to have found someone I'll use again if needed. I am very particular when it comes to any Doctor or Dentist or any professional working on me. If you are very particular, I recommend you go and see him and not waste your time or money on any others. Michael M. read more

From the moment I called to scheduled my son's appt. for teeth extraction, I was met with professionalism. The staff is top notch. The Dr. has a very soothing voice and is very gentle. My son was nervous but was in very good hands (literally). The Dr. came out after the procedure to explain how it went, asked if I had any questions, and the staff made sure we were prepared for home care and food choices. They called in the afternoon to check on my son and answer questions. I will tell anyone who asks that this is the Dr. to use for oral surgery. Thank you, Dr. Sohoni and staff! read more

I'd been putting off getting my wisdom teeth extracted for years. Mostly because I was very nervous about surgery of any kind. All 4 of my wisdom teeth were impacted and it finally came to a point where one of them got infected badly and I had to schedule a surgery in a hurry. Doctor Sohoni's office was able to accomodate me within a week. I was given detailed pre-op and post-op instructions and a prescription beforehand. They didn't make me wait for any of my appointments. They also have a clean and well-maintained office. While I really appreciate all of the above, maybe you can get all of them at another dentist's place. What you can't get is the awesome job that Doctor Sohoni did on my teeth. I had barely any swelling post the operation. I was off pain-killers in two days and now, a week later the discomfort is minimal. And the ladies at the desk are very nice too. One of them was with me throughout the surgery, making sure that I was comfortable. Awesome job guys! read more

Dr.Sharad Sohani is the best dental surgeon that I have been to. I had to get my wisdom teeth extracted and the whole experience including the procedure and the follow up was great!

I had called his office after the visit because I had some questions and I was surprised to receive a call back from the doctor himself! Dr.Sharad Sohani is a true professional!!! read more

I went to Dr. Sohoni for my five wisdom teeth extraction in one shot. (yes, I had five :-)) !! I went prepared with an imagination of a terrible after pain. To my pleasant surprise, there was almost no pain during or after the extraction. Dr. Sohoni is absolute best and I highly recommend him. His office staff is friendly and made me feel comfortable. The procedure took about 30 min. Overall excellent care. read more

Dr Sohoni is awesome! I had a wisdom tooth extraction and no body was ready to do the procedure, as I had a nerve very close to the tooth.I went to this office and was in so much pain, his staff is extremely caring and wonderful. during and after surgery they were at their best. Dr Sohoni assured me about my surgery in the first 5 minutes of our conversation. Its been 3 weeks and I am totally fine, enjoying my chips !! Thank you for being there for us Dr:) read more

I know Dr. Sohoni since almost last 20 years, at that time he was practicing General Dentistry in Sunnyvale, CA. He has done a wonderful job on multiple root canal for me abd my spouse. Today I have another great general dentist but for any major concerns I still visit Dr, Sohoni office. I trust him and his staff completely, they are all wonderful people. He has done a surgery to remove abscess inside gum. Prior visiting Dr. Sohoni office I consulted other surgeons, they all scared me saying that the risk is after surgery my lower lip may go numb etc. Upon visiting Dr, Sohoni office, he was confident and knew exactly what he was doing. Surgery was successful and touch wood my lip is not numb until today. He has also removed my wisdom tooth without any complication. His equipment/X-Ray are all latest technology. I highly recommend Dr. Sohoni. .God Bless him and his staff. Thanks! read more

My experience with Sharad Sohoni was superb to say the least. I was absolutely terrified to have my wisdom teeth removed, however. The office staff was beyond helpful and informative, and gave me all the confidence I needed. Sharad's expertise shine through in his amazing dentistry, and I highly recommend him to anybody in search of a great dental work. read more

Great dentist. Very accommodating and helpful staff. My sister had her wisdom teeth pulled and Dr. Sohoni was able to do it very easily without pain and frustration. I would definitely recommend Dr. Sohoni. read more

My mom saw Dr. Sohoni late 2013. My mom was 94 years old. At the time my mom had her teeth pulled, I felt Dr. Sohoni as being arrogant and very self-assured in the way he talked and acted. After my mom's surgery, approximately 2-3 weeks, her gums had turned red and bleeding. I called Dr. Sohoni and he said that he has already done the job and to let my Mom's dentist know about it. When Mom's dentist saw the gums, he was very concerned. [Mom's dentist is very good and very humble about it] Mom's dentist called Dr. Sohoni about the condition of Mom's gums; and that is when Dr. Sohoni said he would see her. During the appointment, I felt Dr. Sohoni was very rude. I felt he did not want to see Mom because as he said in the beginning that he already did the job. The outcome in his office was not good as I did not like what I felt was his negative attitude. As mentioned, my mom was 94 years old; and I felt Dr. Sohoni should have more respect and compassion for my Mom. I felt we were bothering him. I feel there are more oral surgeons out there that are more humble and compassionate. read more
