What a great place! Front desk was absolutely fantastic, and the staff was super nice and caring. Both dentist were responsive and understanding of my fear of people in my mouth. I will recommend them going forward. Thank you to everyone there for making me feel completely relaxed.

I went to get all 4 wisdoms extracted today. I was FREAKING out about the entire surgery; I don't do well with needles or surgery of any sort. The oral surgeon was so nice and explained everything in detail before we proceeded. He had 2 female assistants ( I forgot names ) who were super comforting. They knew I was uneasy and talked me through the entire thing. The whole process wasn't nearly as bad as I thought thanks to them. I would recommended them!

I called to see if they was accepting new patients and the lady that answered the phone hung up on me after I asked.

Do not recommend- awful front desk staff. I had an old cavity filling fall out 6 months ago (that they were supposed to remove while doing my wisdom teeth and never did) and have been told since they don't have enough staff to see me. I call again today and they tell me they have to drop me for a missed appt who knows when. I could have spent the last 6 months looking for a new dentist, instead of getting the run around from them. Now to look for a new dentist in the midst of a staff shortage while no dentists are taking new patients! Thanks.

Had all 4 wisdom teeth removed with no issues! Amazing and friendly staff who were quick and efficient. Would definitely recommend them if you need your wisdom teeth removed! Thank you everyone there!

I just had all 4 impacted wisdom teeth extracted and I was put under with laughing gas and iv sedation. The oral surgeon was extremely informal, sweet, and was able to put the iv in with ease and professionalism. The staff was sweet, knowledgeable and caring. I was walked through the whole process from beginning to end and the after care when I came out of anesthesia was also comfortable and I was confident to go home after having surgery. Dr Efron and his staff took care of me and I am forever grateful especially for my Hypochondriac self!

I've been having the worst experience with dentist offices lately. Even though I wasn't able to get my wisdom teeth removed from them (because of a medication I'm on) I just wanted to say how nice everyone I spoke to was and how nice and clean their place is. I've been to some horrible dentist offices like it's really been a nightmare but it was a relief to find one that wasn't! Definitely recommend you go to them if you can! Hopefully I will find another place just as good.

The office receptionist and nurses are wonderful .. Very kind and sympathetic with great manner.. The surgeon is the reason for the missing stars.. He didn't have knowledge of my specifics he didn't have any patients.. He seemed annoyed just to be there and the rose is completely fell off the bloom for this guy.. His hands were ridiculously shaky he hit my bad tooth twice with his instruments because he would look away as he pulled instruments out while examining me.. As I understand the dentist here is a good one but my experience with the surgeon was not good.

Don't come here. They prescribed me a medication that I'm deathly allergic too and then LIED and told me to find a new surgeon. After numerous times of them being incredibly RUDE everytime I called or came in. They are far from professional.

So far so good.. I've met with three associates for my upcoming appointment and I'm very comfortable even though I'm going to be put under sedation.. I dont remember the name but her words of comfort drove any fear of being sedated away.

I emailed then on the contact page and they got a hold of me the next day and made the appointment early the next day. I have always had anxiety when it came to dentist but the assistant and doctor were very nice and help and explained everything to me. Great experience.
