I started seeing him when he was located in that strip mall off O'Connor and Nacogdoches. He is probably the best dentist in San Antonio bar none. And I have been seeing Dr. Long since he started working there. This review is directed at (you guessed it) the office staff that handles the dental claims and communicates with it's patients...the ones responsible filing claims in a timely manner and communicating this process clearly to the patient. Definitely was not done in this case. In December of 2025 I had 2 tori removed. I was pretty sure insurance was not going to cover this. They (Riley) gave me a treatment plan that reflected my cost was around $1400 dollars. After the procedure when I went to pay I was told I owe $1701. I thought well they have overcharged me in the past but I always got a refund in a timely manner (after the insurance claim was filed). Also in all the many years i have been using them they have always filed to my dental insurance in a timely manner. And insurance immediately sends me a statement saying yes it's covered or no it's not and this is what you owe. Well that never happened in this case. The only thing that was filed initially was the sedation medication used. And it listed no surgical procedure. So insurance denied it saying basically what was the procedure? And I couldn't get an answer on why the office did that. They did file another procedure which was not the tori removal and my insurance paid it ($219) but it had nothing to do with the tori removal. And it was not performed on me. Bottom line: they never filed the tori removal to my dental insurance. Yes, most likely it would have been denied. But, now I could have appealed it. I would have to have shown it was medically necessary. Confusing the matter was that I called in late January 2026 asking about the filing of the claim and was told that I might be due a refund. I'm thinking why would I be due a refund? Now I'm totally confused. So I finally decided to just talk to one person (Riley) so I dont get conflicting info every time I call. She said she is working (communicating with corporate office) on my claim. That totally confused me again. Told her I just want my tori removal to be filed to insurance. She gave me a cryptic answer that she either does not get involved or has no control over the dental insurance part. But after several phone calls she said she would call when she knows something. Nope. That didn't happen. Fast forward about 4 months. I got a text from the office saying I owed another $337. When I called Riley I said I thought you were going to call me when this was resolved. She answered something to the effect she had a lot of people to call.

I stopped making appointments for routine cleanings at Oasis Dental in 2022 because they kept…read moretrying to guilt me into getting an implant. I keep my mouth fairly clean and haven't had mouth pain for 4 years. 2 weeks ago one of my fillings fell out. It's not painful, but the edges are sharp against my tongue. I called Oasis up and made an appointment to fix my filling. They already have my records, and maybe I'd get back into the habit of regular cleanings. They saw me 2 days after my filling fell out. Awesome. I go to my appointment. They take xrays and ask me questions about the severity of my missing filling. I've got no pain, it just needs to be replaced. They say they don't have time to fix it today and that I need another appointment. Apparently it'll take an hour. I was hoping to get it done, but no biggie. They can see me in a week. I take time off work to get my filling replaced. On my way out of my neighborhood they call and tell me they're pushing me back. Ok. Things happen. I get seated in a room 15 minutes after my appointment. Now my blood pressure is 2 points too high. They use one of those cheap electronic BP cuffs. I'm sitting in this dentist chair hoping my BP drops so I can get this work done that I tried to schedule a week and a half ago. They take my blood pressure 2 more times with the cheap cuff, tell me a few things about ADA regulations, and boot me out the door. I worked in healthcare. When a cheap BP cuff reads high, usually someone takes a manual pressure which is more accurate. I was 2 points high, probably at least partly caused by them delaying my appointment and now they won't treat me. If you didn't want me as a patient because I stopped routine cleanings 4 years ago, have the decency to tell me and not waste my time at 2 appointments. You could have told me last week that I should find a new dentist and I would have understood. Dr Galles may be an ok dentist but he is not an ok person.

They nade me pay in full at the time of service.. received payment frim my unsurance provider and then sent my invoice to collections. I called and got directed to tbeir billing dept. but could never get a call back. So after what seemed to be a very ling time for my mouth to heal, i started shopping around for implants. I went to two different implant dentusts and both told me that the bone graphing was not done deep enough....all that pain, missed work, lost money...and they did an inadequate job...What really chaps my hide, is the absolute arrogance and largwr than life ego of the oral sergeon who did the work. She took every opportunity, to remind me that she was not a dentist, but that she was a Doctor. . . An Oral Surgeon...over and over again, as if it implied the ability to also walk in water or something - just to end up with some half ***** work done. It was a bad experience. I would not recommend.

I told her absolutely not and asked if there were any adjustments that can be done (lower is rubbing a sore on my gum) she told me she would have to talk to her lab and was gone for 15 minutes. She returned with the office manager carrying what looked like an essay and by that time I was done with them. I asked them how much I owed them, not sure if they charged my insurance or just wanted to get rid of me but said I didnt owe anything.

Our kids have been seeing them, including when our daughter was 3 and our son was 4. They always made them feel comfortable and relaxed, and now the kids actually look forward to going to the dentist. Many dentists would want to use nitrous oxide, but our kids trust them enough that it's really not necessary. We've had a couple of emergencies, including our very first visit, and they have always accommodated our need to see them promptly. The hygienists are the most gentle, yet thorough, and the assistants are cheerful and helpful as well. Even the front desk staff are incredibly friendly and joyful. Their rates are reasonable in comparison to other dentists, but it's the outstanding service and professionalism that sets this office apart. I cannot imagine getting anything else but the best treatment possible with Drs. Mark and Maria. It really doesn't matter which one treats our family members, because both of them are skilled, professional, and very, very patient and friendly. They treat us all like we're a part of their family. And, no, I'm not a paid endorser - just a very, very happy patient among a family of them!

I was referred to this place because the original one was out of network for some work I had to get done. I went for a consultation at their other location on Bandera and was given an outline of the treatment. It took two months for this office to get me an appointment. I had to place a 100 deposit, which they tried to keep. Then I paid in full over 2k for the procedure. They told me they would file a claim and I would receive some reimbursement. I have never been so terrified to the point I almost walked out. The doctor was so heavy handed that I started to get anxiety. I felt like I was being stabbed to the point of exhaustion. I get that that had to numb me but he could have been more gentle about it. Once the procedure was over they sent my medication to the wrong pharmacy and was told they would have to call to resubmit it. Luckily my husband called while in the waiting area because getting ahold of anyone can be nearly impossible. They took 30 days to process my claim with my insurance. Then they submitted things wrong. They don't communicate with their other office at all so don't even bother. I followed up with him which that part was okay. Mind you it was less invasive. On my last follow-up they wanted to schedule me for a cleaning. I told them I already have a provider I see that I absolutely love. They insisted and I felt pressured to scheduled the appointment. I did but call back to cancel it. They continued to try to get me to reschedule and asked me the reason for my cancellation. I continued to reiterate to cancel the appointment. The office is not only rude but very disorganized. I don't feel like your care is their priority but rather the money they can suck out of you. Absolutely the worst experience I've ever had. I would not recommend this office or doctor. Although the doctor seems very knowledgeable and pleasant he is too harsh in his bedside manners of approach. You've been warned.
