    Going to the dentist is never fun, and needing oral surgery makes it even less exciting. What…read morestands out about Dr. Tchon and his staff is how comfortable and welcoming the entire office feels. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a friendly receptionist, and here's the surprising part--you aren't left sitting in the waiting room forever. Within moments of arriving, you're usually brought back to a treatment room. The entire team treats patients with kindness and professionalism, and Dr. Tchon himself is honest, straightforward, and easy to talk to. He explains things clearly without making you feel rushed or pressured. I'll be honest--I actually look forward to my visits here, which is not something I ever thought I'd say about a dental office. As for my implant surgery, it's still a work in progress, so I can't give a final review on the outcome just yet. However, based on my most recent follow-up appointment, everything appears to be healing and progressing well. I felt compelled to write this review now because exceptional service deserves recognition. The level of care, professionalism, and positive atmosphere at this office has made what could have been a stressful experience much easier. I'll be sure to update my review once the implant process is fully complete.

    I didn't see many reviews for Dr. Kyle Yamamoto, the other resident oral surgeon and had him…read morerecently. All I can say is -- exceptional. I had wisdom teeth that I didn't get extracted at a younger age due to financial constraints. It was a difficult extraction and we suspected I might have some sinus complications going in. Part of my tooth fractured and I had to come back for a followup to get it removed. I was pretty nervous, but Dr. Yamamoto spent a lot of time describing the procedures and making sure I was comfortable. I had remarkably no pain following either with his instructions and recommendations. Also, the staff were very nice and heartwarming (also fellow bruins!). If you come here and need oral surgery, you can't go wrong with either surgeon. Thank you so much Dr. Yamamoto!! You rock!!

    If you have any anxiety about medical procedures, I suggest seeking a consult with any of the other…read moreoral surgeons in the South Bay that have substantially better reviews and do not resort to teasing a patient for their concerns. For context, my son had to have a tooth removed when he was 7 years old with Dr. Kawahara because he was too anxious to have it done with his pediatric dentist. Now almost 10 years later, we saw Dr Kawahara for a consult on removal for his impacted wisdom teeth. Upon seeing Dr. Kawahara years later and discussing how it had been a while, he teased my son about how he remembers my son crying and screaming before....which in reality my son didn't do in his office - since he had been prescribed anti-anxiety medicine beforehand for the minor procedure. (I think this comment was meant as a joke, but Dr. Kawahara's delivery is very dry; regardless we shrugged it off as a bad attempt at humor and a weird way to attempt to reestablish trust with a patient.) As we began discussing the surgery process for wisdom teeth removal, I shared that our son is slightly anxious about the surgery after hearing friends talk about their experience. With dry humor, Dr. Kawahara teased "most people survive." He repeated this phrase during our consult at least 3 more times. It began to be rude since he clearly heard me attempt to reassure my son about the IV that would be needed and recovery. Dr. Kawahara STILL insisted on repeating the phrase, "but most people survive." It became annoying to the point that I literally asked Dr. Kawahara, "Why do you continue to use that phrase when I have repeatedly expressed my son is slightly anxious about the procedure?" His response was that he was just joking. I found his way with my son to be quite insensitive and lacking in emotional intelligence. My teenage son also found the whole experience off-putting, so we are happily having his surgery done with another oral surgeon. If your dentist or orthodontist initially refers you to this office, I suggest scheduling a consult with another oral surgeon (to avoid wasting $200+ for the consult fee). There are multiple other surgeons with better reviews, so don't settle when you can see someone better.

    If your considering getting Dental work or surgery done here, with this so-called Dr. "Omotto", or…read morewhatever the hell his name is, be forewarned and please read this first. He didn't care about me so tit for tat. I say this sincerely... so you dont need to endure the pain and cold treatment. I'm also sorry for the review length but I wanted to share all the details and let u decide. This "Dental Surgeon" is competent enough at first glance. The office is nice enough. Must have been paid with a lot of money. Remember that. I had a very tough extraction of two teeth but the day of surgery it jumped up to 3 and then 4... WTF?? I wanted to know where he was getting this info and why it was needed. As a patient, do I not have the right to know? Especially since its deviating from what was agreed on?! My other sub-par Dentist at least stated they didnt agree with this. Maybe in the future it may be needed but not now. It seemed like Omotto was just searching how to con me out of more money. Because when that didnt work.. So I said just the two and no more. Like our original agreement. I was already stretched to the limit in terms of finances and here for surgery. Not more consultation. However, it wasn't over but now he also wants more x-rays!! My other Dentist already sent them; full 360 and up close detail of the area from a few days ago. So now he wants the same thing and an extra $260?? Again... NO. They were sent and on his desk!! He wasn't happy with my decision and literally shook his head. Why? To do what we had agreed on? So we forged ahead and almost had terror hit home. I needed sedation and was being strapped down with bright lights in my face. I explicitly told them that this type of situation usually causrs panic attacks as I suffer from PTSD. I was/still am USMC and was captured and tortured once. Despite telling them before to give me some anti-anxiety medication FIRST they were doing the opposite I was fading and starting to lose it when the ONE GOOD PERSON I'd met there helped out. I had a very sweet and caring Nurse, "G" When she did a very human and sympathetic action. She softly and in-no-way unprofessional, touched my face and gently kept saying it would be okay until the anti-anxiety medicine was given and eventually I was put under. Afterwards, she was there to help me walk and get my bearings again. She didnt rush me. She made sure I was coming out of the sedation fog and didnt push it. "G" If u somehow read this, thank you so much! You get the Star for this place. I'm sorry for the things you probably endure each day there. Getting back to basics, I was concerned about the lack of PPE's (Personal Protective Gear) as there was limited to none. Just FYI as that's standard practice. Will be checking with BBB on that... Further, Dr. Otto-whatever never stopped to see me in recovery, nor did he call or text to check and see how I was doing. None of his staff either! I never saw or heard from him again. From the say prior in consultation, he is smug and brash, acting like he knows everything and his patients are all idiots and things like my genuine concerns aren't important to him. He didnt take notes or anything when I outlined some very important things to know!! He wants his money or a significant $$$ down before he even gives you the time of day. Period. And then he gets it, does his sub-standard work (as I'm still hurting), and pardon my French, but I am a human being, and you have no right to treat me that way. I fought and risked my life for 20 god damn years for your freedom and safety just to get talked down to like I'm a sub-standard human being because I have some nightmares on things you couldn't handle for a day? ÷×@# you!! I would not recommend this place or Doctor to anyone. It looks nice and I'm sure that's from all money he has swindled out of people for extra things. He doesn't care about his patients, how they may be hurting or barely getting by, just their money. Dentistry is an option in life I guess. Forget a courtesy like checking with your patients after a procedure, being available for any questions, or listening to concerns any patient may have. I dont ask for much. But act like so many other Doctors out there that think they they know what is best, are above others, and forget emotions or feelings patients may have. Its damn cruel and actions speak louder than words. Rarely do I say it... but I feel this guy is nothing more than a presumptuous sadistic jerk. I guess Dentistry is just is just that. I'm not asking for a therapist. Just FYI to understand me and maybe not have sub-standard care. 1 star for the nice nurse but no more because you are specialist and supposed to be better. Newsflash. Your not.

They always took great care of my chops. Very pleased to report Modern Dental picked up EXACTLY where DNA Dental left off. A very seamless dental transition. Not one but two dentists examined. Very thorough xrays. Hygienist demonstrated great attention to detail. I get the feeling this practice will take good care of my smile. I'll be back.

    This is sad. This is my 4th experience here, and I wanted to be fair before putting up a review…read more Appointment times mean nothing to them. They called me to move my appointment earlier, and I agreed to come in 30 minutes ahead of schedule. An hour before the new appointment time, I even called to ask if they were running on time because every previous appointment had already been 2 hours behind. The front desk told me, "Yes, we are on time." I arrived 15 minutes early, signed all the paperwork, and still ended up waiting until almost my original appointment time. Once I was finally brought back, the doctor cracked a joke, gave me Novocaine, said he'd be back, and disappeared. Forty minutes later, I was still sitting there numb with no doctor or staff in sight. At this point, it had been well over an hour without the doctor even starting the exam. The front desk staff should not be working in customer service. They were unhelpful, showed no remorse, and acted like this is something they constantly hear complaints about. Sadly, I doubt anything will change, but do yourself a favor and find another dentist
