I decided to schedule the procedure and I was very pleased to be scheduled in pretty quickly. They have the option of super early appts (7am) which was really great for my schedule. The morning of the procedure everything went as planned with no delays. I was prescribed pain meds and he called me that same day in the late evening to check in and see how I was doing. I missed the call but I appreciated the message. I had some concerns about some pain I was feeling several days after and I was able to email in some pictures for him to take a look at and see if things looked normal. I was relieved to hear back and I was able to get a refill for meds. All in all the experience was very pleasant and I can see why this location has so many 5 stars. I was very happy it was in network too!

This review is years in the making. I don't typically write negative reviews, especially for small…read morebusinesses, because I understand one experience may not reflect the majority. But in this case, I feel it's important to share. I came to this office years ago after moving to Cerritos, right before my wedding, simply looking for a new dentist and a routine cleaning. They had great reviews, which is why I trusted them. From the start, I was told I had extensive issues--multiple cavities needed to be redone and several crowns were recommended. This was surprising to me, as I've consistently gone to the dentist and had never been told I needed such drastic work. Still, I trusted their assessment. The procedures that followed were some of the most painful dental experiences I've ever had. They took hours, felt extremely aggressive, and left me in severe pain afterward--far beyond what I've ever experienced with dental work. I have a high pain tolerance, and this felt very wrong. What was most frustrating was what happened next. I returned multiple times explaining that I couldn't sleep, eat, or function due to the pain. Each time, my concerns were dismissed and attributed to things like not flossing (umm I couldn't floss because of the extreme pain), which didn't make sense given the level of pain I was in. After pushing back repeatedly--especially with my wedding just days away--I insisted something was seriously wrong and requested further evaluation. It turned out I needed three root canals as a result of their prior work. Separately, the crowns that were placed caused ongoing issues. Eating anything with texture would cause gum pain, and I noticed unusual gaps that trapped food. When I brought this up, I was told the only solution was to redo the crowns at additional cost. My crowns also came off. Later, I happened to see a different dentist at the same office (a female provider who may have been temporary), and she immediately noted that the crowns had been placed at an awkward angle. She corrected them, and since then, I've had no pain and no further issues such as crowns falling off. I ultimately switched dentists and have not needed any major dental work since--just routine cleanings every six months, with no recurring problems. Based on what I went through--particularly the aggressive treatment, the outcome, and the dismissal of my concerns--I feel it's important for others to have full context before making a decision.

My insurance was checked and I knew exactly what my portion of the fee would be. Everyone was efficient and friendly. This is my second experience here, the first being wisdom tooth removal for my autistic son, which was perfect. I highly recommend this office for any of your oral surgery needs. I believe you won't be disappointed. I am a rather nervous dental patient, but I felt cared about and treated very well. I'm not the easiest patient because I have a chronic illness and am in my 60s, but everything was smooth and easy. Recovery went well and post-op instructions were clear. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

I'm happy I was offered and chose to do a bone graft, allowing me the option of an implant down the road, should I choose. Knowledgeable, caring, and helpful as I presented my split painful tooth- in an emergency . Before taking out the unsalvageable molar, she made sure to check to my oral hygiene to be sure I would heal to the best of my ability. She did a great job carefully extracting the roots. Thus, the grafted area has healed beautifully with enough bone to place an implant. With all this attention to details, she encourages our own body to make more bone, as possible. She and her team are wonderful and kind. Highly recommend her office!

I'm really disappointed with how Bixby Modern Dentistry handled the cancellation of my appointment…read more At 3:02 p.m. today, I received a voicemail letting me know that my appointment for tomorrow, September 2nd at 2:00 p.m. was being canceled because the dentist who was scheduled to see me was no longer with the practice. When I called the office, I asked why I was being notified less than 24 hours before my appointment when I had already taken the day off work and arranged childcare. I was told that the dentist had informed the office on Friday, August 28th, and that they had been contacting patients since Monday. I completely understand that unexpected things happen and that a dentist leaving the practice may not have been something they could control. What I found frustrating was the way it was handled. There was no apology or acknowledgment of the inconvenience this caused. I was simply told that this was what happened and that they could reschedule me. Rescheduling wasn't really an option for me. I had already rearranged my work schedule and childcare, which is not easy to do. Thankfully, I was able to find another dentist with an appointment available tomorrow morning, so my day off and childcare arrangements won't go to waste. Ultimately, I decided to take my business elsewhere. The cancellation itself was disappointing, but the lack of communication and empathy was what really bothered me. I hope the office can put a better system in place for situations like this. Things happen, but patients deserve timely communication and, at the very least, some acknowledgment of the inconvenience when changes are made at the last minute.

I've been a patient at this oral surgery office in the past and received good care on one occasion,…read moreso I returned with a sense of trust. Unfortunately, my recent experience made it very clear that this office does not truly accommodate emergencies--despite advertising that they do. I was facing a legitimate dental emergency, had already been evaluated by three separate dentists, and was told unequivocally that the tooth required extraction. I explained that I now live three hours away and asked for a reasonable accommodation--an early consult with the possibility of treatment later the same day. This is a standard, patient-centered approach in many practices, especially when clinical documentation already exists. They refused outright, insisting on a consult-only visit and requiring me to return on a different day. There was no flexibility, no clinical judgment applied to the situation, and frankly, no consideration for the burden placed on the patient. Let me be very clear: this is not an "emergency" oral surgery office. It is a routine, by-the-book practice that does not deviate from protocol under any circumstance. If your needs are straightforward and you don't require any accommodation, you may have an acceptable experience. But if you are in pain, time-sensitive, or need a provider willing to exercise discretion and compassion--you will not find it here. As a nurse with 38 years of experience, I have spent my career going above and beyond for patients, especially in urgent situations. That level of care should not be the exception--it should be the standard. When a medical office markets itself as providing emergency services but refuses to act accordingly, that's not just disappointing--it's misleading. Choose your provider carefully. When you're in a true emergency, this is not the place you want to rely on.
