Completely rude. I was scedhuled for a 10 am appointment, but they called me the day before saying they had some cancelations and asked me to come in at 8:30. I showed up early for the 8:30 time and waited for 3 hours! There was 2 other people in the waiting room, I would hate to see him on a busy day. He did not tell me he cut the inside of my cheek, his own staff was talking bad about him while I was waiting for him to come in and take my tooth out. Tried to make me feel like I was stupid and no bed side manners. I was Completely uncomfortable with him and him telling me he almost forgot about me didn't help.

I just want to express my sincere appreciation for the outstandingly professional services rendered to me by the Doctor and Staff during my recent oral surgery. They exceeded all of my expectations! I would without hesitation recommend them to anyone needing oral surgery! They truly set the standard for how it should be done!!!!

My dentist referred me to Dr. Esquibel for a molar extraction in preparation for a dental bridge. My wife and I arrived at the appointed time, filled out the paperwork (history, meds, existing conditions, etc.) Dr. Esquibel began with a review of my dental x-rays and the procedure for the anesthesia and extraction. He answered questions thoroughly. The actual extraction was a doozy! No pain, but a feeling of pressure relief as the tooth was extracted. He then packed the site and gave instructions for aftercare. I was monitored frequently by dental staff and again assured that I could call any time I had a question or concern during healing. Altogether, it was a thorough, professional, and under the circumstances, a comfortable experience.

The surgeon was fantastic. However, their accounting practices are absolutely horrible!! They didn't bother to speak with the insurance company beforehand, so they calculated a guesstimate for the amount I needed to pay up front. (since they won't just send you a bill after insurance pays) I was charged too much, and have been waiting on my refund check for over 3 months now, and they still have no idea when the check will get to me!! Starting to think I will never get my money back from them! Just know what your insurance will pay before you give them any form of payment or you will never get a refund!!

Pulled two teeth in under five minutes. I've spent more time changing two light bulbs. Didn't feel a thing during the extractions with the numbing shots. I'd save money and the trouble of arranging a ride and just get the shots if you're given the choice.

Dr.Esquibel is very good at his job. I recently had my wisdom teeth removed and as I went under, I felt I was in great hands. He and his staff keep up with their patients. After getting my teeth removed, I was feeling pain so they had me come in last minute just to check on me, and we discovered I had a dry socket. I've had multiple appointments already, just so they can be sure that I am comfortable while suffering through my dry socket. I highly recommend this place for oral surgery!

I had two severely impacted wisdom teeth surgically removed by referral from my dentist. I couldn't have been more pleased!! The staff was very organized, and well trained. Dr Esquibel took time before anestheshia to explain what would be done, and answered all questions without rushing. The x-ray was fast. The team that prepped me, and administered anestheshia was freindly, and well trained. This was all done with no pain during the procedure. When I was awakened my wife was there, and they explained everything to us again together. If I could give them 10 stars I would. Very friendly, pleasant, and profesional!!!
