Dr. Clark and his entire staff have given me a great smile. They helped me out with two implants and informed me and reassured me every step of the way. Highly recommend.

I was referred by my dentist to have my wisdom teeth removed here because my case was tricky as one of my wisdom tooth was very close to a nerve that have a lot of risks. Dr. Clark and his team were very informative and friendly. I was very nervous on the day of my surgery as I hate IV and Dr.Clark and his team made the experience comfortable than I ever had before with other doctors. I didn't even noticed I was put to sleep as I remember I was having a nice conversation and blink for a moment and I was done with surgery. They made it look so easy. I would highly recommend coming here for surgery and if you're not a fan of needles like me, dr.Clark and his team are the best and you wouldn't even noticed!

I went to Dr. Clark for what I thought was a hopeless case. Well, it turns out it was not a hopeless case. Dr. Clark explained the procedures and asked several times if I had any questions. Long story short, I am extremely happy with my progress and cannot recommend Dr. Clark and his staff highly enough.

I had a great experience getting two dental implants at Foothill Oral Surgery Center. Dr. Clark helped me to feel comfortable with the procedure by sitting with me to go over the images of my mouth and explaining exactly what he was going to do and why. His staff were also great. Each one was always upbeat, friendly and kind. They seem to really enjoy working together on Dr. Clark's team. My post-op follow-up was excellent. Dr. Clark texted to check on me that night and two of his staff called to check on me in the days that followed. I felt very cared for. Getting dental implants is no fun, but you'll be in good hands here.

Dr. Clark and his team are the best in Orange County!! I have needed my wisdom teeth out for years but put it off because I was terrified of being "put under". The day of surgery was a breeze! I did not even feel when Dr. Clark started my IV and that's amazing considering my tiny veins. He gave enough anesthesia for me to be asleep & comfortable without becoming nauseated afterward. Teri, Jackie and Perla are compassionate, patient, and competent. They made me feel totally comfortable and I can tell they genuinely care about their patients' wellbeing. Jackie was thorough in explaining the procedure and did not make me feel rushed when I had questions. Dr. Clark is calm, knowledgeable and an expert in his field. I suggest getting the "extras" for accelerated healing and convenience. Platelet Rich Fibrin uses your own blood by spinning it down and placing the 'stem cells' in the sockets after the teeth are removed- it accelerates the healing process, reduces pain and helps to prevent dry socket. I can't say enough good things about this office. If you want an exceptional experience- Foothill Oral Surgery center is your place! Ash F.

My 18 year old son just had all four wisdom teeth taken out by Dr. Clark. He was having pain and they got him right in. The whole staff is so nice and accommodating. My son's three older siblings all had their wisdom teeth pulled by Dr. Clark over the years and all four kids had a great experience. I highly recommend Dr. Clark at Foothill Oral Surgery.

I was super scared about this procedure, but Dr. Clark was fantastic. I had all four wisdom teeth removed, and he carefully explained everything beforehand. He was not pushy at all, was very warm, and even called me the night of the surgery to make sure I was doing ok. Don't usually write reviews but wanted to do so for Dr. Clark so other kids who are terrified of dentists know that Dr. Clark is an excellent choice.
