I was unhappy with how I was treated during this appointment. First, the doctor walked in a fist bumped me, which is very unprofessional. I am not a child, and I do not want to be treated as one. The assistant did not ask me how I was feeling (physical feeling of tooth pain), she assumed I was feeling a sort of way, did not listen to anything I had to say, she just kept on her speech. Neither the assistant nor the doctor listened to my pain/discomfort, told me how I was feeling instead of asking me, and I had to reiterate 3 times that I wanted to be put under anesthesia and that I wanted all the wisdom teeth out in one surgery; the doctor and assistant kept beating around the bush and had no empathy when I said I was experiencing a lot of discomfort, and that Id have to wait until late January to have this taken care of. The doctor then chose to fist bump again on his way out, which again, was not professional. I wont be doing my surgery with this doctor.

Dr. Pillai is amazing! Informed me that I would hear things when hes either pulling or crackling noise since he cannot. Eased my worries of my wisdom removal and made sure there was no pain before the extraction. He also provided me more details of the extraction and made sure I was still in the clear.

Dr. Pillai was wonderful with his skills and bedside manner. He recognized when I got anxious during the tooth extraction and immediately took action to help me feel better.

Pillai really explained my options, and each step of what he was doing. This is the 2nd time Im having the same implant removed and he was clearly the best at it. Almost pain free which is definitely a first!

Patient was accompanied by Aunt. Because of lack of consent form signed by parent Dr. could not do procedure. While that was completely appropriate and understandable, Dr. expressed frustration to patient who was already nervous anticipating oral surgery. Made it a very stressful and negatively emotional visit for patient. Dentist was right in not treating and could have been understandably frustrated, but that is no excuse for taking it out on the minor patient who was not responsible for the misunderstanding/mistake.

Was not given a complete explanation as to how the well the procedure went by the dentist. Continued treatment may be needed because dentist left part of the tooth during the extraction process.

It was not made clear that the dentist was only planning to remove the lower wisdom teeth. He spoke of maybe removing the upper ones and would evaluate at the actual extraction appointment. When I checked with billing they said a claim was sent to remove the lower teeth only. I think the dentist did not make this clear.

I appreciated the honest, straight forward discussion on course of treatment. Basically, "do no harm" - meaning that the tooth isn't causing me any problems so will wait until bridge near tooth needs to be replaced and reconsider options at that time.

He was the first dentist to tell me I needed braces because of one tooth that has been crooked since it came in. I was slightly irked by that and then when I returned to see the oral surgeon, he told me I had a very nice set of teeth and there was no mention of braces.

My experience with this dentist and the receptionist was extremely awful. This dentist did not hear me out when I came in with excessive bleeding after the surgery. He gave me a few rushed minutes of his time and then rushed me out the door. He did not try to figure out what was wrong and told me it was my fault that I was not following procedures. I know that that is incorrect and after a couple more episodes of excessive bleeding that this dentist refused to take my calls during, I decided to seek another opinion. After meeting with another dentist this second dentist right away noticed that something was wrong. He was surprised that I had not had an x Ray done and went ahead with getting me an immediate x Ray after helping me form a clot with some gel. This X Ray showed that there was a floating piece of bone in my socket. If the original dentist had cared, he could have found this out. He could have also have saved me 6 hours of non stop bleeding from the surgical site.
