Today was my third and hopefully final visit to Dr. Pijut. I was referred by my local dentist for a total of 22 extractions. I'm not able to "go under" due to other health issues, so NOX and a local anesthetic was used. My gums didn't like teeth being yanked from them (go figure), if I signalled there was pain, he shot more anesthetics into the surrounding area so discomfort was minimized as much as possible. 1. Consultation, normal, as expected, introductions and a peek. 2. Pull 7 teeth from top, he didn't get the updated list from my dentist until I came in, and didn't obviously have insurance authorization for the the rest of the top row. 3. Follow up appointment to check healing progress, I was early and was seen early. It was a quick in and out. He told me that I didn't have to drive the hour if I didn't had problems, I used the appointment as an excuse to hit the junkyard afterwards anyway. 4. Pulled 15 teeth today, he offered to stop on a few occasions if I thought it was too much for 1 day. They called after I got home to check on pain and gave my wife instructions. The worst part was the people in Tallahassee that can't drive. Some trying to do 60+, others 30, others just trying not get hit.

Worst place I've ever been to.. went for consulting visit for upcoming surgery and discussed putting her to sleep to do the surgery and got there to the appt and took my child to the back wouldn't let me go back with her and was gonna give her laughing gas and not put to sleep like we discussed and then cause she was scared and shaking they wanted to reschedule her after a 2 hour trip to get there... cause it wasn't approved to be to sleep ahead of time what was the purpose of the consultation visit to set all this up if they wasn't gonna do what they said to start with..

I am a Florida State University Student and not from Tallahassee I was referred by a dentist up in Tallahassee to Dr.Pijut. Naturally I was a bit worried about going to do a wisdom teeth removal from someone I did have a personal reference from and when looking on google reviews I wasn't completely convinced on his practice Fast forward I went to my appointment and everything went EXTREMELY smooth he and his assistant were extremely patient and professional. All my nerves were set at rest once they started they made sure I wasn't in pain, had my prescriptions ready, and a bag with all the aftercare tools I needed. (2 ice packs came as well but they are not pictured) The operation was seamless and I would definitely refer him to someone.

Screw this place and their employees. They canceled my appointment a week before, after my insurance approved paying for EVERYTHING, after my partner had to take off work that day and we're having to lose money. I developed an eating disorder and have lost so much weight because I haven't been able to eat, and they won't take out my teeth and they canceled my appointment. They tried to get money from me out of my pocket. They're scam artists. They want my insurance to pay for everything as well as me pay for it out of my pocket. Not to mention they have no bedside manners, they're rude, and the doctor is a straight up CREEP. Probably a blessing in disguise. Over the phone they told me they do not have an anesthesiologist on site when putting people under anesthesia.

I went in to have 6 teeth removed (4 wisdom teeth and 2 others) and Dr. Pijut kicked me out of his office even though I was in pain. Dr. Pijut was upset because I needed a second to talk to my husband. Some of the medications they were going to use would force me to stop breastfeeding temporarily, and I needed reassurance that it wasn't selfish of me to go through with this. This phone call was 3 minutes long. When I returned to the room where Dr. Pijut was waiting he said I had taken too long and he wouldn't do the procedure. Ironically this was after I spent 30 minutes in his waiting room. Unfortunately you can't leave 0 stars for these reviews.

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE PLACE! Do not go here. My daughter was treated rudely the first time by him but gave the benefit of doubt and went back to have surgery and she was emotional about the whole surgery thing and upset they kept stressing to her about the whole nursing 18 month old she ended up crying and calling me. We were in the phone about a minute. They walked back in and the doctor told her "he didn't trust her to not nurse her baby" so they would not do the surgery. Her teeth are actually hurting her at this point and now not sure what to do. She is and always has been very anxious about pain. Instead of them helping her they pretty much kicked her out with a hurting mouth. I am LIVID.

Does not practice method of treating patients well. Judy whom I spoke with was really rude when I called. They are in the business of winning arguments instead of doing what's right. They tell lies too. They will not get my business because they lack care, integrity, and customer service. I went to a better Oral Surgeons office where I can recieve the proper treatment.

Love the staff and the Dr. Any sign of pain and he stopped and waited until the meds kicked in. When he finished up his nurse wiped my sleep tears away. Let's just say this was one of the best dental surgeries I have been though!

The most disrespectful group of people I have ever interacted with in the medical field. I waited 3-4 months for them to call me back about scheduling an appointment and by then had made an appointment elsewhere. They randomly gave me a call saying they had scheduled me without my permission after I had already said I didn't want to go through them anymore and hung up the phone on me while I was apologizing for any inconvenience. Highly recommend anyone else.

I have anxiety when it comes to any doctor including dentists, and I have to say Dr. Pijut was the best experience I have had in a very long time with the medical field. He was very patient, polite, and caring; he didn't hesitate to answer all my questions and listen to my concerns (which were a lot). I went to see him because I needed my wisdom teeth extracted, he made sure I never felt pain during the procedure, and it has been over a week and I haven't felt any pain or discomfort. I am very grateful with him and his staff for being so caring.

I was never given any information as to a bone graft during our consultation for a tooth removal. He removed the tooth several months ago but now I have to go to a second dentist to get a bone graft for my implant. I was quickly rushed out the back door as soon as the bleeding stopped. Don't trust you health with people who don't even give a proper consultation.

I cannot rave enough about Dr. Pijut. I have had some pretty tough experiences with dentists and oral surgeons and I was terrified. Dr. Pijut and staff are AMAZING and have proven that oral care doesn't have to be excruciating! If you have dental anxiety this is the place to go!

I went in for a tooth extraction. I must say that Dr. Pijut Lawrence is the best oral surgeon hands down. The staff is caring and gentle as well as him. He made sure I was comfortable, and the procedure was completely painless as well as the healing process. I would refer this facility to anyone.

Don't do it! They are sloppy. Scheduled me for an extraction knowing that I had to fly the next day. Then when I got there, they told me I ought not have the extraction since I was flyi,g the next day. Tried to charge me $135 for a useless xray. They were 45 minutes late taking me back (and I was 10 minutes early). And the doctor has a poor manner----didn't even introduce himself, but immediately started asking questions. Then on my antibiotic script, they left off the details of the second address line. Sloppy and careless. Total waste of my time.

I brought x-rays with me from my dentist so i did not have to do x-rays in office. My consult was a short and quick visit. Dr Pijut was super friendly and right to the point. When scheduling the surgery, they were capable of setting me up within the week, however i needed something to fit my schedule. They were able to get me in on a day and time that worked perfect for me. Even though they were out of network with my dental insurance, they were very reasonably priced and kept in constant contact with me over what the insurance was covering and what i was expected to pay at the time of the surgery. When i came in for my surgery both Dr Pijut and his assistant were very friendly and always made sure i was comfortable and aware of everything that was going to happen and expect. When administering the numbing medication, Dr Pijut constantly checked with me about my pain level and comfort. We waited shortly for the medication to fully take effect and once it did the procedure began. Any time i flinched or made a noise, he would instantly ease off and check to make sure i was still tolerating the pain and if i needed any more numbing. The extraction took about all of 10-15 minutes tops. Afterwards, he was very helpful in making sure i was doing ok and that i wasnt in too much pain. His assistant even walked me to the door. Afterwards, the front office staff called a few hours later to check up on me. I am sure his tech would have held my hand during the time if i would have asked! they went above and beyond any care that ive had previously with other specialists. i was very pleased with their care and will definitely be going back to them for my next dental surgery needs!
