Everyone here was really friendly and supportive throughout the process! The staff did a thorough and fantastic job coordinating with my insurance and communicating with me all the steps I need to take pre and post-surgery for wisdom teeth removal. Dr. Chehrehsa and team made the process feel seamless and also called to check in post-surgery which I really appreciated.

Dr. Chehrehsa is amazing!!! I was nervous and the staff made me feel at ease! They took excellent care of me before , during and after my procedure. Dr. Cheherhsa personally called me later on that day to see how I was feeling. I expected to be in pain and to be out for a few days but I felt good that afternoon and the next day back to normal. EXCELLENT all around !!! 100% recommended!!!!

Super Friendly staff! This was my first time ever coming to this office so I was a little hesitant as I've had the same dentist pretty much my whole life. I got my wisdom teeth out plus an additional tooth and was initially really nervous and scared because I put it off for a while but they made the process super easy and pain-free really. Had zero complications and overall just a really smooth process! Love this office and will 100% be returning from here on out.
