Thus, to have two separate medical professionals name the same oral surgeon gave us great confidence. The best part of Dr. Ivry is that he has the warmest bedside manner. While both boys were nervous, Dr. Ivry immediately put them at ease at their respective consultations and again on the day of oral surgery. I also cannot give enough compliments to his surgical team. My 14-year-old had his wisdom teeth removed early January 2026. The prep team allowed me to stay in the room until he was sedated. They even put a blanket on him to make sure he was not cold. After the surgery, Dr. Ivry gives you as much time as need along with the surgical team to ask questions. I wish I could give 6 stars to Dr. Ivry and his team!

I had avoided cleanings for over 5 years due to anxiety, but my first visit with Dr. Mashkouri changed everything. His bedside manner is top-notch. He's kind, knowledgeable, and takes his time getting to know his patients. His hygienist, Sepi, did my deep cleaning and has the gentlest touch I've ever experienced--truly made me feel at ease. I recently went back to get a crown removed and replaced, and once again, Dr. Mashkouri impressed me with how gentle and precise he was. Even the numbing shot was barely noticeable. If you're dentist-avoidant like I was--this is your sign to book an appointment. You won't regret it!

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Dr. Sam Vahedi and his entire office…read more I had a tooth that previously underwent a root canal and crown years ago, and out of nowhere it suddenly broke one day. I immediately saw my general dentist, who recommended that the tooth be extracted and replaced with an implant. As you can imagine, I was extremely nervous and anxious about the idea of oral surgery. I reached out to Dr. Sam Vahedi's office, and from the very first interaction, they were incredibly accommodating and professional. They understood the urgency of my situation and scheduled me promptly, which immediately helped put me at ease. The moment I walked into the office and met Dr. Vahedi, I felt calm and reassured. He has a very confident yet kind demeanor that instantly builds trust. They performed a CT scan, and Dr. Vahedi took the time to thoroughly explain exactly what was going on and what the plan would be. He explained that the first step would be extracting the broken tooth, which had three roots. During the procedure, he carefully numbed the area. There was only minimal discomfort with the numbing, and after that, I truly did not feel any pain at all. I could feel some pressure and hear some crunching, but there was absolutely no pain. Throughout the entire process, I felt completely confident in Dr. Vahedi's technical expertise and knowledge. It was clear that I was in very capable hands, and sure enough, he did a magnificent job. His assistant, Heidi, was also wonderful--very attentive, reassuring, and kind. I was so relaxed during the procedure that they actually thought I had fallen asleep! That alone speaks volumes about how comfortable and stress-free the experience was. I will be returning in several months for the next steps of my implant process, and I am extremely grateful that Dr. Sam Vahedi is my oral surgeon. If anyone ever asks me who they should see for oral surgery, extractions, or implants, I will unconditionally and enthusiastically recommend Dr. Vahedi. An outstanding experience from start to finish.

Dr. Benjamin Palla is an expert who takes his care to the next level with attentive and considerate patient service from beginning to end. Oral surgery of any form can be an anxious experience. Dr. Palla ensures that the patient is informed, comfortable, and heard. This is an incredibly rare trait in medical providers -- which coupled with the knowledge and depth of care provided, provides for a supremely pleasant experience. The front office staff treated my partner very well when she called to make an appointment for me. I called to follow up and confirm the appointment and realized the first piece of what makes this practice special. The front staff is gentle and considerate! The x-ray process and intake were smooth and professional. The procedure itself was also very smooth. Dr. Palla was further very attentive to learning about my dental history and expressed a desire to get to know the best way his treatment would further my goals. It was very nice to meet a professional of his caliber and I would recommend him highly to anyone looking for this quality of service. While I did not interact with Dr. Anderson, I am sure his services also exhibit this type of service. Following the procedure, Dr. Palla and and the clinic team have robust procedures to ensure healing, all of which contribute to the overall excellence of this practice. The team was flexible with scheduling me to get a post-op review, and I was very satisfied with the one-on-one service that was consistent throughout. This is a very well-run practice, I would recommend it to anyone who needs their services!
