I had such a great experience with Dr. Henna. From the moment I walked in, she was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. She took the time to explain everything in detail and made sure I fully understood my options, which I really appreciated. As someone who's a bit older and had put off getting my wisdom teeth removed for years, I was honestly nervous--but she gave me so much peace of mind. Her thorough exam and clear explanations made me feel comfortable in my decision. You can tell she's very knowledgeable and truly cares about her patients. I'm so grateful for her help. She was amazing! read more

Dr. Chandra was amazing! My son was nervous about getting his wisdom teeth out and his first appointment with her put him right at ease. She has the perfect bedside manner.. allowing questions and concerns, thoroughly explaining and explaining it at his level which was appreciated. Procedure was quick and easy and recovery went as planned. Her staff was also amazing! Everyone was friendly and thorough with their job. Thanks again for making this experience, the best!! read more

My extractions have healed nicely. I came back for a final exam. As I said previously, everyone here is very nice, friendly, and well-qualified. read more

Time to update my review since my last one was in 2021, and Dr. Chandra has since done my second implant (plus one for my mom!). HOW IS SHE SO SKILLED??? Amazing oral surgeon, truly truly cares about her patients. Front office staff is AMAZING and competent. Hopefully I won't need anymore dental implants, but if I do, I know where I'm going!!!! read more

I've been persistently cleaning, brushing and flossing around my upper wisdom teeth; in an effort to save them and avoid having them removed. It finally got to the point that they were impacting my chewing molars so my Dentist referred me to Alamitos Oral Surgery in October, 2024 for a consultation. During my consultation with Dr. Pham, I explained that local anesthesia, rather than general anesthesia, was my preference. Although it was only a consultation appointment, he gave me the option to schedule the surgery for a later date or perform the surgery immediately since he had time in his schedule to do it. I was caught off guard but decided to proceed with the extraction procedure to get it over with. I'm so happy that I did. He extracted both teeth in a matter of minutes. I felt no pain and it was quick and easy. Just had to repack gauze in my mouth for a few hours afterwards. I didn't even require any pain killers or ibuprofin. I highly recommend Dr. Pham! He is awesome and so is his staff! I wish I had my wisdom teeth extracted 30+ years ago. I've never felt better! read more

Recommend by our son's orthodontist. We were truly lucky to be directed here. Doctor provided step by steps plan, she always asked if we had any concerns. The office staff and nurses were all very friendly, helpful and supportive. Very clean office. If we ever need oral surgery, we would definitely return. read more

I highly recommend Alamitos Oral Surgery! I got all four of my wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Pham, and he was very thorough in explaining the procedure and the aftercare associated with it. The staff at the front desk as well was extremely nice. The surgery happened in a blip since I was under anesthesia, but there were no complications with my extraction sites post-surgery. I had minimal swelling after, but I also took care to keep an ice pack on my face often and also drank a lot of pineapple juice beforehand LOL. I also had a one week follow-up checkup appointment, and Dr. Pham took a look at my extraction sites to make sure everything was fine and taught me how to flush out the holes moving forward to keep the healing areas clean. I originally went to a different oral surgery clinic, and I had a terrible experience there. The doctor only had a 1 min consultation with me before leaving the room, and the nurses rushed me into getting my wisdom teeth taken out ASAP without prior notice when I thought I was just here for a consultation only. They gave me my invoice total while I was still in the chair and asked me to approve it before getting my teeth extracted, but the total for my extractions was almost $3K which was ridiculous considering I had insurance. Turns out the surgeon wanted to add bone power (essentially a bone graft) into each extraction site to help the bone heal over, but none of it was covered by insurance and each bone graft was $500. They also had nitrous oxide as the method of anesthesia, and that wasn't covered by insurance either. I asked for a few minutes to think about it - to which the nurses asked me to hurry up since the doctor only had 15 minutes left before he had to go to his next clinic... I asked to reschedule my appointment to a later date since I felt uncomfortable with the price tag and the pushiness of the staff and left with only paying for the x-rays. I asked around some family friends as to where they got their teeth extracted, and one family friend recommended this oral surgery clinic. I voiced my (new) concerns to Dr. Pham during the initial consultation since my previous experience felt very sketchy, and he answered all of my questions with good clarity and length. He said that I won't need the bone powder and that he's seen rates of infection increase in patients who had bone grafts compared to those who didn't. Plus, for my age and procedure, he said that I will not be needing the bone powder. He also said that nitrous oxide isn't the right type of anesthesia for the procedure I'm getting, and he added that the IV anesthesia at Alamitos Oral Surgery I'll be getting will most likely be covered by insurance. My total for all four teeth after insurance ended up being less than $300! I typically don't write reviews LOL, but I figured that I would share my experience in case anyone else is in a similar situation. I highly recommend Alamitos Oral Surgery, and (God forbid) if I have a case where I need an oral surgeon later, I'll definitely come back here! I appreciate the quality of service that I received especially as a former customer service worker :3 read more

Dr. Chandra was incredible! She made me feel comfortable with her calm demeanor even though I was terrified to have dental surgery. She answered all my crazy questions and was flexible with scheduling when I was in severe pain. Her offices were immaculate and beautiful and her staff was kind. read more

Excellent care. I am scared to death of dentists and oral surgery. I had a broken implant removed that another dentist did as well as the tooth next to it taken out. Then the bone graft...all due to another dentist's shoddy work. Dr. Chandra and her team made this surgery so gentle I never needed to take any pain pills or even aspirin. Highly, highly recommend...from a scaredy cat!!! read more

Great experience thank you Dr Pham and to the entire team for taking care of my daughter. She was frightened and very nervous before the surgery. Everyone took very good care of her to help her with her anxiety she did great minimal swelling and pain after surgery and recovered quick. I definitely recommend this office if you need oral surgery. read more

Amazing office! The staff was so welcoming. Dr Pham helped my daughter, and was so caring, I highly recommend him for oral surgery. read more

Had my wisdom teeth pulled this morning and such a great experience!! My consultation was soo friendly with Dr. Chandra. The surgery itself was less than an hour and the nurse and doctor were sooo friendly and helped me put aside any anxiety I had about it. I am experiencing no pain or discomfort at all and have prescriptions provided by Dr. Chandra in case it does occur. Highly recommend! read more

My 8 year old son needed surgery to have three teeth extracted. It goes without saying that this is a very stressful situation for any parent. Dr. Chandra and her team did an outstanding job from day one. I appreciate their excellent communication and the whole staff is extremely kind and caring. They were very thorough in explaining each step along the way. On the day of the surgery the team did an outstanding job of making my son and us feel comfortable. Dr. Chandra even called in the evening to make sure he was doing okay. Doctor Mittman, the anesthesiologist, also did a great job of putting us all at ease. He made my son, and my wife and I, laugh and it really lightened up all of our moods. My son couldn't stop talking about how funny he was! Thanks to everyone involved! Shout out to the office manager and the delicious complimentary coffee! read more

Dr. Solomon did an excellent job with my oral surgery. It's my second day after surgery and I barely feel any pain. Highly recommended! read more

This review is for Dr. Heena Chandra, and the horrible experience my family had with her. In all fairness, this happened over a year ago and I should've written this sooner. I hope she's grown as a person and as a doctor since then. I took my daughter here for a consultation for oral surgery. The consult seemed fine until I asked a simple question: which drugs would be used during the surgery. I like to know the actual names of the drugs being used, rather than hearing it's "a sleepytime drug." Dr. Chandra's reaction was completely unexpected and unprofessional. She seemed uncomfortable and began making jokes about who died from overdosing on which drug: Propofol and Fentanyl...was it Michael Jackson or Prince, etc. She was laughing and even dragged her assistant into the "joke," until her assistant was laughing too. I don't find it in any way amusing that those two human beings lost their lives from overdosing on these drugs, nor was it in any way comforting to hear the DOCTOR making jokes about the drugs she'll be using on my daughter in the context of an overdose. She even handed us a little reminder sticky note that said something like: Michael Jackson - Propofol, Prince - Fentanyl. I was so shocked and uncomfortable, there was no way in hell I was going to allow this person to do anything to my daughter. I later spoke with the office manager for a refund, which I was granted. Dr. Solomon Poyourow, her partner, called me and seemed sincerely sorry for Dr. Chandra's actions and agreed he would've also been uncomfortable in the same situation. He was the doctor we were initially referred to. If you're going to this office, I recommend giving him a try. Dr. Chandra left a voicemail apology that sounded forced and insincere. She never took accountability for how egregious her statements were, she simply apologized saying she was sorry if she made us feel uncomfortable. She said she was actually trying to "lighten" the conversation with jokes about overdosing??? I apologize for the lateness of this review. I felt I still had an obligation to share our experience for anyone else who would share the same concerns. Again, I hope Dr. Chandra has grown up since our interaction. read more

Dr. Pham recently removed my wisdom teeth and it was a breeze! At 44 years old, I was a bit worried about recovery & healing, but everything has been smooth so far. All of the staff are very competent, helpful, and friendly...very happy client here and highly recommend! read more

I wanted to leave this review to thank Dr. Lee Pham for being my surgeon during my wisdom teeth removal. I was referred to Dr. Pham, and I could honestly say I was terrified walking into the office for my consultation. I had put off my wisdom teeth removal for so long, but my wisdom teeth were finally becoming a huge problem due to constant infections. However, upon entering the office, the receptionists were friendly, and the overall environment was very clean and calming. With Dr. Pham's kind and professional demeanor, my consultation went smoothly, and he patiently answered all my questions. During the day of my surgery, I was knocked out via anesthesia per my earlier request; there was no way anyone could convince me I was staying awake during the procedure. I was seated, Dr. Pham and his team reassured me that everything would be OK, and then I woke up groggy with 4 successfully removed wisdom teeth (2 were removed completely intact so I got to take them with me!). Dr. Pham actually reached out to me a bit after my surgery to make sure I was doing alright, which goes to show how much he cares about his patients. I had ZERO facial swelling or pain in the days following surgery, which I attribute to Dr. Pham's skill and my luck. However, I did run into a surprise bleeding issue about a week after my surgery, and I freaked out. I called the office, and the receptionist was able to squeeze me in to see Dr. Solomon. During my follow-up visit with Dr. Solomon, he was very kind and reassuring. His advice and recommendations gave me peace of mind; from there, I haven't had any issues since! Overall, I highly, highly recommend Alamitos due to their kind, skilled, and professional receptionists, team, and doctors. Thank you for taking great care of me! read more

Went in to get a tooth pulled due to a cracked root, tried to save tooth with a root canal before with a, good endodontist, but i had to have tooth pulled back molar #14 due to a small infection, that was coming and going. I always take care of my teeth so i needed this done. I was referred to Alamitos oral surgery from my wonderful dentist Dr. Edward Luong to see Dr. Pham, and all I can say is it was a good experience all around. I've never had to have a tooth pulled other than my wisdom teeth, and it worked out great and I'm looking forward to my new implant. Very nice and professional clean office and everyone in office staff is wonderful. 5***** Rating all the way. Plus he called to see how i was doing!!! That is good patient care. I was nervous and it was done before i knew it. THANK YOU DR. PHAM and all your office staff and I will definitely refer you to others! read more

My 20-year-old son had his wisdom teeth removed a few weeks ago. Generally the experience was great. They are on the Delta PPO plan, so the price was fair and they differ from many practices in that they are not doing a large number of patients constantly. While the dealings with the office staff were typical, Dr. Solomon was actually quite accommodating and fit my son's surgery into his schedule earlier when he understood my son's schedule. When I wanted to know what medications would be administered, he discussed them with me and we left with a copy of the medical notes including the rather long list of what was used. In that sense, he was forthcoming and thorough. My son had very minimal pain, which was different from the experience of his sister at a different practice, so I was impressed by that. I will say that the overnight on-call care disappointed, and I want to share my experience in case others experience something similar. My son staggered into our bedroom in the middle of the night clutching his chest with pain. He is a tough kid and we are not the type to run to the doctor for most things; however, his pain level and demeanor alarmed us. We called the overnight service, who merely noted our issues. When we did not hear back, we ended up taking our son to the emergency room. They quickly gave him an EKG and determined he was not having a heart attack (unlikely but not impossible) and then kept him for another 10 hours for various tests. It was helpful to have the surgery notes for the ER doctor. When I finally received texts from Dr. Solomon in the morning, he was of minimal help. He acknowledged that the medications might cause severe stomach pain in rare cases and suggested a stomach virus. Ultimately we think that our son was having heartburn from a combination of minimal food intake and ibuprofen (of which he took very little). All turned out well, and we are fortunate to have medical insurance that allowed us to access some very expensive medical care for a $50 ER co-payment. In the 23 years we have raised our two kids this was only our second ER visit. We are not panicky parents, but in this case I think it was the correct call to make. read more

Great place, great staff. I love coming here as much as someone could love going to the Oral Surgeon... Thanks again Dr. Chandra

I was so pleased with everyone in this office! I was very stressed out when I arrived for a tooth extraction, everyone was so kind and friendly that I almost forgot I was nervous. I was very impressed with Dr. Chandra, she made me feel very comfortable and not rushed in answering all my questions. I have never had a doctor like her before, so calming! I didn't feel a thing when she gave me the injections and no sooner then I was numb she had my tooth out! I am happy to have found her, I will be able to feel at ease having her do my dental implants! read more

I am very pleased with the work that Dr. Chandra and her Team does. We had an amazing experience with Dr. Chandra and will not hesitate go back for any future procedures. We had to get 5 extractions done for my son's baby teeth because of overcrowding and needing braces. He is normally scared to go in but he was very relaxed after his initial visit. He went in and out of the procedure without any issues. He had general anesthesia for the procedure. Dr. Chandra did an excellent job and explained everything very clearly before and after the procedure. Everyone from the front desk staff to the assistants are very friendly and make you feel very relaxed and comfortable once you walk in. I would definitely recommend Dr. Chandra and Alamitos Oral Surgery to anyone who is looking for an Oral Surgery. read more

I'm 78 years young and have had a lot of dental work done in my life, but never an implant; Dr. Chandra and her staff immediately eased me. After, many question from me and my husband I elected to have a sedative. Her professionalism is apparent in every aspect of her business. read more

Dr. Lee Pham is an oral surgeon and works with Monty Wilson and Sanford Ratner. We were visiting Southern California when my girlfriend got an infection in her gums due to her wisdom teeth and needed them to be removed immediately. We were referred to Dr. Ratner by my aunt and Dr. Pham was available to squeeze her in during his lunch the very same day! We arrived at the office and the office staff was very personable and friendly. They walked us through the paperwork and escorted us to the consultation room. There, we watched a short video on the wisdom tooth removal process. Dr. Pham came in to consult and examine shortly after we finished the video. He was very funny and welcoming. He thoroughly explained the process and answered any questions we had. Afterwards, another office staff sat down with us and explained payment and insurance details. After all the necessary paperwork we were escorted to the surgery room and a very nice nurse helped my girlfriend get ready for the removal and situated in the chair. They were very friendly and even brought her a blanket because she was cold! (A side note the nurse was raving about how much she enjoyed working for Dr. Pham) The surgery was very quick and only lasted about 25 minutes for all four teeth. Afterwards I met my girlfriend in the recovery room with the nurse sitting by her side. The nurse walked us through all the necessary post-op details. After that I pulled the car around and the nurse walked my girlfriend out to the parking lot and helped her get in the car. Several hours later Dr. Pham called to check up and see if everything was okay! So far the pain has been unnoticeable due to the pain meds and she doesn't have any noticeable swelling yet! (This is approximately 10 hrs after) We highly recommend Dr. Pham and his staff. We couldn't have imagined a better experience! read more

First and foremost, Thank you for squeezing me in and making the experience a pleasant one. I did not have an appointment however I was referred to Alamitos Oral Surgery for an extraction. The pain I was going through was excoriating and I don't think I can go another day with it. The staff was super friendly and made sure I was comfortable. Dr. Lee Pham was very thorough and made me feel at ease. Aside from the toothache, I am a survivor of Brain Aneurysm so he wanted to make sure I understand the procedure. He was patient enough to listen to my story and gave me professional medical advice. The extraction was quick and PAINLESS! It has been 3 hours and I feel good. The swelling has gone down and I feel normal again. Again, Thank you Dr. Lee Pham and keep up the amazing work you do. read more

Today is the day I have surgery to remove my 4 wisdom teeth and 3 modulars. I went under general anesthesia, was talking to him and the staffs and did not know how fast I went to sleep, when I woke up I feel like we did not finish our conversation. I have no pain waking up, no swelling, no nothing! I was referred to Dr. Solomon Poyourow by my great girlfriend. And indeed, he is the greatest, kind, friendly and caring doctor! He helped me saves a lot out of pockets! I have to thank you him for his generosity! The office is well cleaned and maintenance , and staffs were amazing, very professional and thorough about my procedures. I would recommend him to all my families and friends, and whoever is reading this review. Once again, thank you Dr. Solomon Poyourow!!! read more

Dr. Chandra is the best!!! I got four wisdom teeth out (kind of late - in my 30s) and was quite worried about the pain. I asked for laughing gas and it was great! Pain free! And I followed her guidance post-surgery and everything went well! I was worried because I am one of those people that worry about everything... the only negative thing I could point out is that I requested a pre-treatment estimate and from what I remember, they did not give me a pre-treatment estimate before the surgery. I found out on the day of the surgery that they didn't have that done because they had the wrong social security number for me. I had called a few days before the surgery to follow-up with them about the pre-treatment estimate too... and it was too late to receive the estimate in time. Other than that, I had a great experience! read more

I was referred here by my dentist. I'm so happy they referred me here. Let me start off by saying the staff here is incredibly friendly, helpful, and patient. I was very scared to get all four of my wisdom teeth extracted but the staff really reassure you and make you feel comfortable. Dr. Chandra did my extraction. She is very knowledgeable and sympathetic. I'm glad she did my surgery. If you need to get any oral surgery done this is the place to go. I highly recommend Alamitos Oral Surgery! read more

Starting with the consultation to the actual surgery. There were no surprises. The office staff very professional and knowledgeable. Dr. Pham and his team are amazing, kind and caring. They could tell I was nervous and totally understand and helped me feel at ease. I recommend if you need Oral surgery you should contact Los Alamitos Oral Surgery. read more

Just had a tooth extraction this morning with Dr. Pham. Dental work gives me anxiety but Dr. Pham and his staff are wonderful. His assistant, Sierra, was very sweet, empathic, and really had wonderful bedside manners. She made every effort to ease my anxiety and was encouraging while I got prepared with the iv sedation, etc. I highly recommend having her in the room if you get nervous. Dr. Pham was fabulous. He answered all my questions and I like how he looked at my case from a clinical standpoint and not a financial one. For me, bone grafting was not in my best interest at the time. Perhaps in the future. He just wanted to be sure my infection was clear before moving forward. I like that since I'm a breast cancer survivor. I felt comfortable with him and had high confidence in his abilities. I highly recommend this place. It's modern, clean, easy to make an appointment, and most of all, highly skilled and trained doctors. Thank you Dr. Pham and Sierra! read more

Dr. Solomon extracted all 4 wisdom teeth last month. He is AMAZING! From consult to post op he was professional super nice and went out of his way to take care of me. He messaged me after my surgery to check up on me and when I was experiencing pain I reached out to him and he got back to me promptly and met me at the office on his day off. He is a very genuine, kind, smart, and talented dr! You won't go wrong by choosing dr Solomon for any of your needs. I dreaded this procedure and I'm glad I chose alamitos oral surgery and even more grateful that Dr. Solomon did my procedure. read more

I had my molar tooth removed earlier today, due to hypereruption and the surgery was performed by Dr. Heena Chandra. She is by far THEE most professional, caring, thoughtful Doctor I have ever encountered in my 36 years of living. I wasn't too thrilled to have this procedure done, but she was great with her communication; explaining in detail how the procedure was going to go. Even before the surgery, we were able to converse a little about things not related to the surgery, which helped calmed me down. Just a testament to how personable she is and how she connects with others. The one thing she did that made me realize how amazing of a person she is, was send a text message to me later that evening, checking on me and seeing how I was progressing. I have never had a doctor reach out to me after a procedure. This small gesture had such a BIG impact on me, as it meant so much. I am beyond grateful and thankful for her act of kindness. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Chandra and her entire team, who was ALSO GREAT by the way. Each and every single one of them. An extremely pleasant experience. The world needs more people like Dr. Henna Chandra :-) read more

Dr. Pham is an amazing doctor. My son and daughter had their impacted wisdom teeth removed and the entire process went so much easier than I could have imagined. Such a different experience than when I had mine removed 25 years ago. I severely cracked a tooth and needed an extraction, bone graft and implant. My prior experience with Dr. Pham made him my top choice. I was not disappointed. He is very professional, yet kind and reassuring. I highly recommend Dr. Pham and Alamitos Oral Surgery having had positive experiences both as a parent of patients and now as a patient myself. read more

Dr. Solomon Poyourow did an excellent job on my tooth extraction. Painless and fast I would highly recommend him. Great office and outstanding staff. read more

I had my wisdom tooth surgery here a little over a week ago and it was a great experience. Dr. Chandra was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. Everyone from the check in desk to the procedure room was friendly and helpful. My procedure process went so well, the team really did a great job of keeping me calm and informed every step of the way. Even during this crazy time with covid went above and beyond to ensure my safety. Tam who is one of Dr. Chandras assistants, is a true light. She incredibly kind, patient and excellent at her job. Can't say enough good things about her or the team/office in general. If you have to get your wisdom teeth removed this is the place to go for sure. read more

Dr. Solomon and his staff has been outstanding since day 1 when I walked in for consultation back in January. Dr. Solomon offered to take care of my extraction the day of consultation because of an infection, even though room was not prepared for surgery, and it was close to their lunch, or for me to come back another day. I took up on his kind offer and surgery and bone graft experience was fantastic! Not rushed and he even put my tooth back in as it was my front tooth, something he never does. Now months later my implant has healed beautifully . Although I paid for abutment already, something the dentist asked him to do, he recommended me to just do permanent tooth on the screw (correct term?)to save me $. Fully Refunded my money back and prices here are very fair. Dr. Solomon and the entire staff here has been outstanding with every visit. They are very empathetic to all my concerns. My time here is done and I will miss this place. read more

Dr. Pham was my oral surgeon and Kim was the surgery assistant. They were both very kind and very engaging and answered any questions I had. Most importantly, they weren't super pushy like other doctors. I used local anesthetic; meaning, I was not sleeping nor under nitrous gas (laughing gas). And all I felt was pressure but no pain. Dr. Pham was done in about 45 minutes and I was out. I was expecting severe pain afterwards because a couple of years ago, i had my left, two wisdom teeth extracted; i remember being in so much pain. I had my 2 right wisdom teeth removed with this doctor and the pain is very mild. I barely feel anything except for when I stupidly gulped down water. He prescribed me Norco but I don't even need it because the 600mg of ibuprofen is working just fine. Feeling very little pain means this doctor knows what's he doing people. Come here! You won't regret it! read more
