    Brought my mom to this location for a tooth extraction and it was all business. The staff were…read moreexcellent and followed up with an aftercare call. Dr. Kim was a great dentist and my mother felt very comfortable with his care. She was surprised at how quick and easy the procedure was. Highly recommended.

    I went in to have a wisdom tooth extracted. They gave me an 8:30 appointment, when I arrived I'm…read moretold I'm early. I asked well why am I early, I'm told they changed my appointment to 10.00; however I was not informed. I'm told they will get with me soon in the mean time X-rays are taken and payment is requested while I have to wait. I'm called about 11:00. Then I'm called in for the extraction. Dr. Scott Kim comes in numbs my mouth and begans procedure. He pulling and tugging, I understand that this is a deep rooted tooth and that he has to watch not to damage the nerve. I can feel every tug, so he numbs me again. Leaves out and return. Starts procedure again pulling and tugging, his instrument slips, hits me on my front teeth, I yell out. He says it a little difficult I'm going to have to break it into two piece. He gets it out, my face swollen and I'm just glad it's over. I was in pain by the time I got home so I just took my medication and went to sleep. When I awoke I went to look at my teeth because that instrument hit kinda hard. Why my front tooth cracked. The next day when they called to check on me I told them that when I was hit with the instrument my tooth was cracked. They brought me in the next day took xray again. Dr. Kim comes in never shows me the xray, but takes pics of my tooth with his cell phone. Then tells me it was probably already cracked. It's a noticeable crack I look in my mouth everyday it was not cracked. Did not offer a solution. This man tells me not to worry about that tooth, keep watch on the tooth that was pull and if there is a problem give them a call. Just the fact you did not compare the two X-rays is telling. Don't go here he does not take accountability and almost pull my jaw off; that's how any why the instrument slipped. No bedside manners, showed no compassion. He says that he doesn't believe he was responsible because he did not work in the front of my mouth but you hit me with that instrument when it slipped. Warning find another oral surgen. RUN, RUN, RUN.

    THEY ARE NOT GOING TO ACCEPT YOUR SCAN FROM OTHER CLINICS. THEY SAY THEY DO, BUT THEY WON'T. Even…read moreif it means exposing you to another X-ray within a short period. My experience with this clinic made me seriously question the integrity of some medical providers. I grew up in a family full of medical providers, so I've always had a lot of respect for them. But being told they "can't read" my scan files and that I needed to pay $450 for another CBCT scan was shocking. I had already taken the scan at another oral surgery clinic that turned out to be out-of-network. That's why I looked for an in-network doctor and ended up here. Before my first appointment, they asked me to bring the scan files. I even asked if there was a specific format they needed because I work with image files and know compatibility can matter. They brushed it off and told me to just bring them. I arrived with the USB and waited almost an hour, only to be told they couldn't read files from USB and needed them on a CD. Sorry, but are we in 2005? They "kindly" offered to take a new scan for $250. I had taken the scan only a week earlier, so I refused. I had to reschedule and even bought a CD burner on Amazon because the original clinic didn't have one. Before my second appointment, I called again to ask about file formats and told them the other clinic had also emailed the files. I even asked if they could call the other clinic since both clinics use the same medical imaging software, which I found very odd. THEY NEVER CALLED THE OTHER CLINIC AND APPARENTLY NEVER CHECKED THE EMAIL. They just kept saying it should work if it's on a CD. So I returned with the CD. After all that effort, they STILL said they couldn't read the files. And now the price for a new scan was suddenly $450. When I got home, I downloaded a free medical imaging viewer and opened the files immediately with no issue. Yes, I -- someone with no experience opening this type of medical imaging format -- was able to open them. I ended up booking another oral surgeon down the street who simply allowed me to upload my existing scans. I still can't understand why this clinic handled things this way. It felt like they cared more about charging for another scan than actually helping patients. Also, thanks for delaying my treatment for weeks and for trying to make me take another X-ray only a few weeks after the first one.

    My wife got her wisdom teeth removed at this office. She went in anxious and had a panic attack…read moreprior to going under... the staff offered no reassurance. She then went under for the surgery and was shaken awake and told she needed to leave immediately after waking up. She then asked to speak to the surgeon to see how it went and was told she was "too busy" to speak to her. Over the next couple days my wife had severe bruising on her neck and jaw and extreme pain. We have no idea what happened during the surgery to illicit this kind of bruising. She also developed bruising on her wrist, again no doctor would explain what happened during the procedure so no idea what happened there. Over all was a terrible experience and honestly scary.

    This place has all the charm and personal attention of dentistry of yesteryear with all the…read morescientific and technological updates of today. Dr. Borchers does all the dental work himself--no dental hygenists doing the grunt work--and his wife works the front desk. Both are extremely attentive and have the friendly warmth of grandparents. The office is clean, updated, and comfortable, with a spacious waiting room. I was able to make an appointment for a cleaning (my first visit)only about a week and a half in advance, which was awesome. Dr. Borchers took me on time and did a very thorough, gentle job and explained what he was doing in more detail than I've ever heard before, which was really interesting and conveyed the depth of both his knowledge of and real interest in dentistry. He found 2 cavities (that's what I get for avoiding the dentist for so long) and showed me on the x-ray how he spotted them, what was causing them, and how he could tell which was more urgent. All that, and I was still out in just over an hour. Important to note, they only take cash or check, so come prepared, and they don't take insurance but will give you the paperwork that will allow you to report it on your own so you still get the deductions from your insurance company.

He cares about his patients, most of whom, like me, have been his patient for 30 years or more. I recommend Doctor Borchers absolutely and without qualification as a brilliant and talented dentist. He is truly one-of-a-kind. Thomas B. Carr
