THIS DOCTOR IS NOT IN NETWORK WITH ANY INSURANCE PROVIDER They misled me and tried to get go me sign paperwork while being very dodgy about why they are listed to be in network but they are not (they were "transitioning" for 5 months?) Had my girlfriend who works in the industry not been with me, I would've never known The front desk is also rude and unprofessional. They missed my emails and calls and tried to convince me I never called. I showed the logs and said they don't appear on their end. Called them right there and then, and their phone rang. Crazy! Also the only reason I had to email them about my appointment is that they rescheduled me and I was just confirming that I'm okay with it. They somehow missed the confirmation email and decided to cancel my appointment when I showed up without warning Awful practice. I went to Berkeley Olinda oral care instead. So much more professional and in network with providers, would take your business there

Dr. McDonald came in on the weekend to treat my adult daughter, who was in a great deal of pain from dry sockets following removal of wisdom teeth by another oral surgeon. His treatment alleviated her severe pain and distress very quickly and his manner could not have been more kind, comforting and respectful. He explained everything clearly and answered all her questions. If I should ever need an oral surgeon I will consult Dr. McDonald without hesitation.

Amazing oral surgeon! Very patient, great sense of humor. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of me. If you need an oral surgeon please don't hesitate to go anywhere else!

I was referred by my dentist for oral surgery. I haven't even seen Dr. McDonald yet but I wanted to write a review to say how helpful Eva on his staff has been. She is extremely knowledgeable and was very patient with my many questions about costs and insurance coverage. She was super helpful in guiding me on the best choices for secondary insurance before I start my treatment in 2021. Thank you, Eva!

I have an almost innate fear of dentists since my childhood so was definitely not looking forward to getting two wisdom teeth removed. I found Dr Alex to be very reasoned and clear in his explanations and advice during consultation. He also has a very reassuring manner because he seems to empathize with ones fears and without talking down to me made it clear how things would go. On the day of surgery he was really good at reassuring and explaining what he was doing. I literally experienced no pain despite choosing not to be sedated and he was done in like 30 minutes. Strong hands clearly but a uniquely good bedside manner as well, so obviously a skilled expert.

Dr. McDonald extracted 2 of my teeth, 2 separate times. He was masterful, kind, careful and impeccable.

My periodontist sent me to Andy's office for him to give a second opinion on a small skin lesion on my tongue. Andy spent nearly an hour with me answering all my questions and offering his counsel and options for other specialists for me to see. He never made me feel rushed and was very kind and honest. i recommend him highly - it was fantastic customer service.

I was preferred to Dr. McDonald's office by a highly respected extraordinary dentist. Dr. Irving is the doctor who helped me, I give Dr. Irving five stars. He explains all he does with patience and is a well skilled surgeon however the wait time to be seen is ridiculous. A heads up the medical staff is excellent but the women at the front desk are not so much, they are kind and work hard I'm sure, their scheduling needs work and how they answer phones is sometimes not responsible. If you have a appointment at this office please make sure to have a clear schedule. Your wait time before you are seen by your doctor will vary from 1 to two hours from your appointment time. If your appointment is at 1:15pm you will get called back between 2:00-3:00pm.
