I had a few consultations before I came upon Dr. Kaye. I was terrified of having my tooth extracted but the way Dr. Kaye explained it to me made me feel safe and comfortable. I had been in a lot of pain and knew it was inevitable that my tooth come out. After a few injections and him joking around and making me smile, out came my tooth. OMG. My fear was worse than anything. I didn't even need antibiotic or pain meds. He is the best and his office staff is fabulous. They are a super team and I would recommend Dr. Kaye to all who needs an Oral Surgeon. God bless his skillful hands. 10 stars!!!! Joyce S. read more

It was my pleasure to meet Dr. Kaye and his amazing team. The removal of my wisdom teeth was painless, and the recovery was really fast. I will always recommend Dr. Kaye to my relatives and friends, as he is a true professional! read more

At first, I was extremely nervous about oral surgery because I cannot handle pain at all. I contacted the office ahead of time to discuss my concerns and was immediately assisted and assured that my needs would be met. Dr. Kaye managed my pain excellently and kept me comfortable for the whole procedure. He is professional, communicative, and followed through on all aspects of my dental implant surgery from start to finish. The staff is attentive, kind and welcoming. This experience was so fantastic that if I need another implant, Dr. Kaye is the person that I would trust to get the job done! read more

Five years after Dr. Kaye totally rocked it re-implanting my teeth after an accident, I came back to him to get my wisdom teeth taken out -- he was able to accommodate me on a holiday. He was great. It was a complex situation with bony impactions -- a friend who had a similar problem actually went through a lot of grief/pain and multiple surgeons across several days to get hers out AND had to go fully under because it was so stressful. Dr. Kaye got mine done in just a couple of hours totally painlessly with just local and nitrous. Heeled perfectly after just a few days, basic advil helped with the minimal soreness, and my face never even swelled up. Dr. Kaye is the best!!! read more

Omg Lifesaver tooth saver Standup comedian All around guy Oh yeah He made my implants stay even when odds were stacked !!! 5 yrs later ! read more

Dr. Kaye extracted my wisdom teeth 23 years ago , and I'm just now getting around to writing a review! Sorry for the delay! Anyways, fantastic doc with a great bedside manner! He first treated my brother and my bro raved about him! I took my bro's advice and booked my surgery. Everything was great . From the office to his front desk staff to his nurses... all amazzzzzing!!!! Thank you Dr. Kaye! 23 years later and I still speak of how awesome you are! read more

Just got my sutures removed and I am thrilled with the overall experience. I had 1 wisdom tooth removed at a previous dentist, and I am only glad to have gotten that other tooth removed elsewhere so I could truly appreciate the three I had removed here. The whole process consisted of three visits, all of which were amazing. Visit 1 - X-Ray: The first visit was an X-Ray session and debrief. The X-Ray was quick; I bit down and stood there for about 15 seconds while the machine took the X-Ray. No jamming things to the back of your teeth and painful biting, just a quick scan. After that Kaye took a look at the pictures and debriefed me. The only reason I came to Kaye in the first place was that my previous dentist who did my other wisdom removal told me I needed to be put out ($800) and so recommended I come here. Kaye told me that I didn't need to, unless I really wanted to and proceeded to inform me about possible risks and events that probably won't occur. The whole process was very informative, and Kaye sounded super confident and almost too cocky, but he spoke in a way that made me comfortable despite the cockiness Visit 2 - Surgery Unfortunately there was an emergency in the morning so I had to wait an extra hour but there was a TV + magazines (and who doesn't have a cell phone to keep themselves busy). The people at the front desk were very nice, offering water and apologizing frequently. I must say though, the wait was completely worth it. Surgery began with local anesthesia (minor stings) but the surgery itself was mind-blowing. The whole time, I never felt excess liquids running anywhere. The top two teeth were removed in what felt like 5 minutes. The bottom tooth was a "problem tooth" according to Kaye, but the whole situation was so comfortable and relaxing I could probably have fallen asleep if I wanted to (but I didn't want my tongue to go crazy obviously). Usually child mouth props (bracers?) are too small and make me uncomfortable, but I didn't even feel any comfortableness with the props. Kaye had me sit in a more upright position throughout the whole surgery, which I assume made it more comfortable overall. The previous dentist had me gagging frequently, spilled water everywhere and made it hard for me to breathe. Kaye on the other hand was efficient and I was completely relaxed the whole time. 2.5 - Recovery Similarly to my last wisdom tooth, I had no problems recovering. I didn't have real pain either times, but it was interesting that Kaye barely gave any instructions on recovery. An ice pack and gauze was provided, but no medication nor detailed instructions on day-to-day recovery. In the end though, recovery was fast (solid foods within 5 days) and there are no instructions you can't find on the internet anyways. Visit 3 - Suture Removal So for the third visit, I needed to get my stitches removed. I found only a 1 hour parking spot so I quickly ran to the the office. They had me in and out within 15 minutes. My only grief is that I wasted a dollar on the 30 minutes I didn't need! Overall, the experience was amazing, and thank you Kaye for such a wonderful wisdom tooth extraction experience. read more

Excellent! I am from the Bay area but currently live in Los Angeles. I had dental work done by an amazing Doctor in the Bay about a month ago and had contracted an infection(totally my fault). My doctor from the Bay area recommended Dr. Kaye to me and I'm so thankful he did! He was able to see me on super short notice and took amazing care of me! His staff are super friendly and office is clean and pristine. Would def see him again and recommend him to anyone needing dental work in the southern California area. Kindness goes such a long way:) read more

I am SOOO happy to have been referred to this oral surgeon!!! I had an emergency and not only did he fit me in but was funny and caring and made me feel very comfortable. I wish all dentists and all healthcare providers would show me the level of compassion and care this office did. After my procedure The staff made sure to follow up with me numerous times. I am SO grateful for him. Going to an oral surgeon is NO fun but if you have to go to one Dr Kaye is the BEST!!! thank YOU!!!!!!!!! read more

For something as scary and annoying as getting your wisdom teeth out, Dr. Kaye's office does a great job making you feel calm and comfortable. Atmosphere: The moment you walk in, you feel quite serene. Greeting you is a small waiting room with a clean fish tank, TV, smiling receptionist/aide, and four chairs. Sitting down, you know that you won't have to wait long, since there appears to be nobody else there. Also, for those who are a bit scared, they have TVs in each room, which allows you to get your mind off of what is going on in your mouth. Staff: Very friendly and caring staff. Nancy, the receptionist and dental aide is very friendly and makes sure that you understand what is happening and that you are comfortable. She also suggested that if I was nervous, I could bring in my ipod or watch TV during the surgery. Dr. Kaye is also very friendly and explains all your options to make sure that you understand all available info before you make a decision. When I called, I was able to get an appointment within a few days or later that day, which is nice. Surgery: Dr. Kaye had a great way of administering the anaesthesia - he shook my cheek as he poked my gums. I didn't even notice what he was doing! This is great because I was really scared of having a needle in my mouth. That was the worst part of the whole ordeal and it only took a few minutes! After that I didn't feel a thing! As I was rather cold during the surgery, I was able to grab a blanket out of the cupboard to put on my legs. Post-Surgery: Although I had my surgery on Friday, Dr. Kaye called me on Sunday to make sure that I was recovering and was not in too much pain. I called ask about ear pain and they invited me to come in later that day to be looked at. Two days later, they did a follow up call to see if the help given at drop-in appointment had been helpful, which it had. Con: The only thing that could have made the experience flawless was if I had been given a cleaning syringe at the end of the surgery. As it turns out, when I went back to the office to get my stitches out, I complained about an earache. Only then was I given this tool to help with the cleaning process of the wound. Parking: Lots of parking around the area: metered lots off Roxbury or free parking at Rite Aid. read more

Was referred to dr Alan Kaye by my favorite dentist. Dr. Kaye is the nicest guy ever. So friendly and knowledgeable. Although I had my wisdom teeth already pulled by Dr Goodman, I was referred to Dr Kaye because of a 5th, hidden wisdom tooth deep down in my jawbone. When I saw the x ray, I thought how is he going to get this one out ?!? It looked really complicated just looking at it. I healed excellent. The best dentist ever read more

Dr Alan was referred to me by my dentist in the area. Theres something about him that is so down to earth and straightforward that I adore. Probably cause he's from New York and Iiving there so many years myself I found his transparency and humor comforting. His office called me a couple times to check up on me and he personally got on the line to talk to me, make sure I was ok and that we were on same page. Really appreciated that. Thank you so much to him and his staff for taking care of me. read more

I was referred to Dr. Kaye by my dentist and he did not disappoint! Dr. Kaye and his team were great. I had four wisdom teeth extracted and he explained step by step what they were going to do. The procedure was quicker than I was expecting, and I have had no problems post procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Kaye to all. read more

I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Kaye and his team! I was referred by a family member for wisdom teeth removal, and the process couldn't have been any easier. Dr. Kaye was very professional but made me feel comfortable about the whole surgery. He's also quite funny! I was so surprised that it took only about 30 minutes to remove all four of my wisdom teeth. Shirley, Dr. Kaye's assistant was so sweet and caring, and she looked after me the whole time! Overall, the experience was so much better than I thought it would be, especially after hearing stories from friends. I was in practically no pain the whole healing process, which only took about a week until my stitches were removed. Not that I have to, but if I had to do it again, I'd gladly choose Dr. Kaye and his staff. read more

Dr. Kaye was absolutely phenomenal! I was recommended by my Godmother to see Dr. Kaye when I had an impacted wisdom tooth. Dr. Kaye took a quick look and he said "welp.. We gotta take that out". I was in and out of Dr. Kaye's within 30 minutes and I felt 100% better than when I walked in. Thank you Dr. Kaye!! Will go back for one more extraction. read more

The absolute greatest oral surgeon you could ever want in your lifetime!!! Dr Kaye treated both my kids for their wisdom teeth and other injuries and you could not find anyone technically better or with a better bedside manner even coming in on the weekends for emergencies or answering phone calls anytime!! The absolute BEST !!! And side note... he's sooooo funny and kind! read more

Dr. Kaye has done 2 procedures for me recently. I had 2 teeth pulled and one implant . Both times, he did amazing work. Other than the initial shots, he was able to extract the tooth and roots with the zero pain. The aftermath, produced zero swelling and no complications. I have had another tooth pulled by a different oral surgeon. He broke the route and had to pull it out in pieces. However, Dr. Kaye literally slides them out with ease. I would highly recommend this highly experienced surgeon to anyone. The office is extremely well run, from the front office to his assistant. The atmosphere is easy and it is always a pleasure to return, in light of the reason for actually having to be there. Thank you read more

Dr Alan Kaye was amazing. I needed a simple 4-tooth extraction and he made the whole thing easy as possible. He educated me about the whole process and then made it as simple and painless as it could be. Seriously, I didnt know that a doctor could be so fun, crack so many jokes, and make the whole process easy. I would ONLY recommend Dr Alan Kaye for future oral needs. He is Incredible!!! read more

Everything about this place is AMAZING! Far exceeded any expectations I could have ever imagined. The receptionist is so helpful, meticulous and kind. The medical assistant is so calming, sweet, and tender. And the dentist is funny, professional, charming, and efficient. He has to be the best there is! I got my wisdom tooth extracted and I was in and out with x-rays and extraction complete within about 30 minutes. Unbelievable! I've had my wisdom teeth extracted before by another dental office and the experience was night and day. I did not need any stitches and my recovery is going so incredibly smooth. They even called me the following day to check in on me. Too sweet! One day after extraction and I am the happiest I can be with my wisdom tooth pain gone. read more

I went to dr kaye after i first went to a different dr who wanted to charge me an enormous fee plus do surgery under general anesthesia. A friend recommended dr kaye who charged me less than 1/2 price and just local numbing. He was friendly and nice. Happy i went to him for a second opinion read more

There is absolutely nothing enjoyable about having dental work done. I've been to Dr Kaye twice to have my wisdom teeth out, and both times, he made a generally dreadful experience almost, well, fun. He's so funny and personable, it's almost a joy to visit his office. The office staff is GREAT - Doreen and Jessica couldn't have been nicer. If you have the misfortune of needing any teeth pulled, go see Dr Kaye. read more

I had to have a wisdom tooth removed and my regular dentist was unable to remove the whole tooth and referred me to Dr. Kaye which is right across the street. They (he and his staff) were going to lunch but saw me instead and postponed their lunch. Made me feel very special and very well taken care of. Doreen (staff) even called me the following day to check on me. I recommend anyone to pay this awesome office a visit. Oh, and Dr. Kaye is funny too! read more

I had three upper teeth removed by Dr. Kaye. I know oral surgery can be painful - I'd had it before - but nothing as bad as this. I was definitely not sedated enough for the procedure. They gave me three pieces of sterile gauze when I left and told me to bite down on the gauze in my mouth for 25 minutes. I bled for the next eight hours - everytime I opened my mouth, blood poured out. He didn't give me any stitches, and said I didn't need them. And the charge of $900 for removing three teeth seemed a little high by comparison. I have to have my bottom teeth removed, and I am definitely not going back for him to do the procedure. I wouldn't write this but his other reviews are so positive (if years older) I felt like I should give anyone looking for a pleasant oral surgery (oxymoron alert!) a heads up. read more

Office is excellent. Doreen is amazing and Liz and the Alan Kaye is top notch and also kind. Would highly recommend!!!

Dr. Kaye took four wisdom teeth out of my head and has taken out every single one of my friend's wisdom teeth as well. I am an extremely anxious person, and canceled my appointment several times before I could work up the nerve to actually come in. When I finally did, Dr. Kaye was so patient and funny, I was able to ignore my instincts and not turn around and run out screaming. Dr. Kaye talked me through the whole procedure, let me listen to my iPod at full volume so I wouldn't have to hear what was going on, and talked me off a ledge when I heard needles were involved. I have no idea what I would have done if I hadn't had Dr. Kaye. Let my wisdom teeth grow into my brain and kill me, probably. My whole family has been going to Dr. Kaye for years, which is how I originally went to him in the first place. He has been practicing in Beverly Hills for over 30 years, took care of my grandparents (each has several dental implants) and my brother. I normally wouldn't review an oral surgeon, but I looked him up out of curiosity and was shocked to see a couple crazies writing something bad. This guy is the best and there is a reason why every other review is five stars. His staff is awesome too. read more

My family and I have been patients of Dr Kaye and recommend him to everyone who needs an oral surgeon. He is one of the best and progressive Oral surgery in the field. Who cuts out wisdom teeth with a Diamond...only the best! It's 2018 and everyone should get on Dr Kaye's progressive wave, now a days there is no need for general anesthesia or Vicodin and I think it's so cool that I walked in with 4 impacted wisdom teeth and walked out 45min later feeling fine and not doped up. He is funny, professional, knowledgeable and makes you feel comfortable. I rather have the double duo of Liz and Dr. Kaye making me laugh and putting me at ease then a bottle of pills any day!! read more

There are no words to describe the awesomeness that is Dr. Alan Kaye. Have known him and his wife for years, and this office truly exemplifies quality patient care. Thank you. read more

Absolutely love it here. My dentist referred Dr Kaye and I just finished having a procedure done with him. I had an implant that was done 6 years ago by someone else that became loose. Dr Kaye started step one of fixing this for me. He explained everything along the way. I didn't feel pain and he could sense that I was nervous so he made sure to walk me through each step of the way. Doreen at the front desk is so sweet and so is Shirley who was assisting Dr Kaye. I highly recommend him. read more

I am posting to Yelp for the first time in years to share my exceptional experience with Dr. Kaye! I was referred to Dr. Kaye by Dr. Rajpal at Beverly Hills Dental Arts (also amazing) and I could not be happier! As a 31 year old male needing to have 4 wisdom teeth removed I was not looking forward to the procedure but I need to say the entire experience exceeded expectations! There was no pain whatsoever and once the Novocain kicked in the whole procedure took 20 minutes! Dr. Kaye and Shirley kept me laughing as much as the gauze would allow, it was an exceptional dental experience that I would recommend to my closest friends and family. Shout out to Doreen who called to check in on me this afternoon before they left for the weekend, a really classy sign that just tells you the level of care you can expect to receive from this practice! I hope I don't have any other issues but if I do this is the only place I'll go! read more

Whatever you do, STAY AWAY from this doctor. Ruined my mouth. 6 implants ALL failed. Screams at his wife in front of clients. What he's good at; pain and discomfort of course, (his specialty). He's slip-shod, fast and lose with the truth. I am forced to re-do all his work at UCLA. I don't even want to think about the cost, time and abuse. Stay away. read more

Without a doubt the best oral surgeon I have met. I broke a piece of wisdom tooth while eating. That produced soreness and a headache for a week. my general dentist said I should have the broken tooth extracted. I was scared, and didn't want to have a tooth pulled. I called Dr Kaye's office, was greeted confidently and cheerfully and given an appointment that day. Dr Kay explained his removal procedure, I was numbed up and the job was done in 10 minutes! No pain, - a relief from the previous week of great discomfort. Recovery has been very easy and relatively painless. Advil makes me feel like it wasn't even done. He's the best: knowledgeable, skillful, experienced and available when I needed him the most! No one wants a tooth pulled, but if you need that Dr. Kaye is your man! read more

I have to start with the fact that I loathe going to any doctor who is going to work inside my mouth! Having said that, Dr Kaye was professional and funny at the same time. He made sure that I was fully numb before he pulled the tooth. There was another time I was in his chair and the tooth was a little more difficult to pull and it actually cracked, but Dr. Kaye made it as comfortable as it could possibly be. Needless to say my anxiety levels aren't as high coming to this office. The ladies at the desk are friendly and efficient and that is always a plus! Great experience all around! read more

If you're having oral surgery - including impacted wisdom teeth - be advised that Dr. Kaye has a very specific philosophy about providing his services. General anesthesia is NOT offered unless you have pre-requested that before your appointment. Anything more than LOCAL (novacaine) is viewed as unnecessary and discouraged. In addition, you will NOT be offered a prescription for painkillers after the procedure. He believes there is no value in any medication other than Advil or Motrin. He seems more concerned about the opioid crisis than providing a couple of days of Vicodin so that his patients can rest more comfortably. "If you want to sleep than we should admit you to a hospital and put you in a coma." This was not the experience I wanted or expected for oral surgery. I am not saying the standard of care was poor, but it seems inconsistent and outdated compared to the practices of other dental surgeons. read more

I would give a negative mark if I could. Brutal. I'm still having difficulty opening my mouth 3 weeks after surgery.

Dr. Kaye and his staff are awesome! He is the best! He made me feel so comfortable. He is funny and personable which makes you calm. His shots do not hurt. I highly recommend Dr. Kaye. read more

I had my number 19 tooth removed on Friday, November 13th (I know : ) ) It was a very difficult extraction. I was awake for this whole horrible event. Dr Kaye is so funny and in tune with his patients, he made this awful experience the best it could possibly be. I have a son who has to have his wisdom teeth removed. I will be sending him to Dr Kaye in December. We have all met doctors who act like they are doing us a favor by taking our money to perform a service that we are paying for. This is NOT Dr Kaye. He is a true professional with a caring heart. Thank you to his kind staff. If you have to visit an oral surgeon ... Dr Kaye is your man! Thanks again Dr Kaye!!! read more

I had my first surgery ever with Dr. K (4 wisdom teeth; i was very nervous) but everything went so well. The staff was super helpful answering my questions and helping me with a payment plan. Dr. Kaye's work was so good, I cant say enough good things about him. Jessica his assistant as well. They were so understanding with how anxious I was and they work was impeccable. The sedation they gave me was perfect, did not feel a thing. Took a week to heal as normal and when I came back to get my stitches out, there was no pain at all. I will recommend to anyone I know getting their wisdom teeth out in the future. They take care of you here! Worth every penny read more

I had an infected wisdom tooth and when I got to Dr. Kaye I could not even open my mouth and was in a lot of pain. Dr. Kaye was very caring and so was his Staff. After a few days of antibiotics I showed up for the surgery. I was totally scared as I had read all the horror stories on line of all that could go wrong with wisdom teeth surgery. Beyond taking some time to stretch my mouth with all kinds of gadgets so he could actually get to the tooth, and the pain of the injection (due to the infected gum), he was so skilled that by the time I was numbed and I blinked the tooth was out. I had only minor swelling for a day, very little bleeding and needed only 1 Aleve. His Staff followed up with me the same day. He answered all my questions before during and after the whole process. He even helped me with exercises to get my jaw muscle slowly back to stretching out. If you go to him you are in excellent hands! read more

To describe a visit to an oral surgeon as if it were a visit to a warm, cozy and pleasant home of your friends (rather than being summoned into a frightening ordeal), might sound like a far-reaching analogy. But it really isn't. Sans the aid of "Tchochkes" , or any glamorous adornments, from the first encounter with the receptionists - one of whom might be the surgeon's wife herself, Dorene - you feel like having been invited to, and participate in a friendly dialog about your...teeth...I've been a patient of Dr. Alan Kaye's for over 10 years, since I first came for a tooth extraction. I have had 3 more extractions and 2 implants, since then. Never have I needed to look at the TV screen for entertainment: Dr. Kaye provided it himself - explaining every step of the procedure, performing it painlessly, with ease, comfort and a light touch - with his unique sense of humor, which would always leave the smile on my face last a long time after I left the office. I'm a due for another implant, soon. And - I can't believe I'm saying this - I'm looking forward to it. Dr AK is OhKaye. read more
