Had wisdom teeth extraction done for only one side. I believe one was impacted/cracked and the other had signs of rotting begining. Safe to say I needed them removed promptly. Surgery was so fast! Minimal/no inconvenience at all during the prep time. I was sedated, I was operated, I was out of there. Absolutely love how they are. Receptionists, dental assistants and DDS were phenomenal.

I had my wisdom teeth removed summer of 2019, and Dr. De La Cotera explained everything with patience and in detail. Our consultation did not feel rushed, and I was encouraged to ask more questions than not. I opted for IV sedation and everything went smoothly! There was zero pain and swelling after the surgery, and everything healed perfectly.

I went to Dr. De La Cotera to have my 4 wisdom teeth removed. From the start, he and his office staff were so warm and welcoming. The procedure went very smoothly. Dr. De La Cotera was so kind and comforting to me, as I was nervous about being sedated and undergoing surgery. He took his time to answer all questions before and after the procedure. When I ended up developing dry sockets, Dr. De La Cotera could not have been more attentive and absolutely went above and beyond to treat it and get me healed and back to feeling fine! I would HIGHLY recommend him!!

Don't usually write reviews but I have never dealt with a less professional receptionist. Impatient, apathetic, and snappy. Avoid this place if you can.

Absolutely amazing doctor! Wisdom tooth removed without pain or swelling. Doctor explained everything in details. He is really worth to recommend. One the other hand office staff NIGHTMARE! No care at all to accommodate patient in pain. Rarely picking up phone calls, voicemail constantly full. Called to pay my co-pay over the phone. After two weeks of trying to reach the office someone pick up took my name and promised to call back. No call back received. First time ever I see business that is not in a rush to take your money but yet sending you invoices. I do respect small businesses and refrain from posting negative opinions, nevertheless none of the interactions with the staff beside the doctor himself was satisfying.

I brought my son who has Autism here to get his 4 wisdom teeth extracted, and I never thought this Doctor would be so gentle and understanding with him. He explained everything to me that he was going to do, and as a special needs parent you want the best treatment for your child since not everybody has the patience to deal with special needs people. My son never complaint of pain, and also healed in less than a week. Since I saw the way he treated my son I came months after to extract my 4 Wisdom teeth and he treated me the same as I saw him treat my son. He is very gentle, very professional, educates the patient, and still has time to listen to your questions and concerns. Today, my husband was told by his dentist to get his wisdom teeth extracted and...you guessed it, we are coming back with this Doctor De la Cotera because you just don't feel it at all. Based on my personal experience I would highly recommend anyone to come see him. He has a small office so, there is limited sitting. As long as you follow his Post-surgical instructions you will be just fine.

I bought my son in Dr. De La Cotera's office for a consultation after his orthodontist recommended he have 4 wisdom teeth pulled. Dr. De La Cotera gave us a very thorough exam and explained all of our medical options and what the procedure would involve. It was a very thorough exam and he did not make us feel rushed at all, making sure to answer all of my questions. I highly recommend his office - he and the staff are very nice and his prices are very fair.

Does not run a tight ship. The doctor himself is a nice guy, but the phone is rarely answered when called and the voicemail is always full. They ask me to be here 15 minutes before scheduled time but make me wait 20 minutes before anyone shows up at the window to tell me to wait longer. Overall this practice could be more professional.

As someone terrified of anything dental, this was the best experience. I couldn't have asked for a more soothing doctor and staff. Highly recommend
