My regular dentist in Soldotna referred me to Dr Bradley Szutz in Anchorage because I had an upper…read morejaw molar that required extraction. The tip of one root was in my sinus cavity, which could lead to complications. Dr Szutz thoroughly described my situation. I elected to have the molar removed and Dr Szutz did it successfully without affecting my sinus cavity. My experience was excellent at two levels: the surgery level, and the front office level. Megan in the front office was excellent at helping me with my appointment. My regional flight into Anchorage was complicated by flight delays caused by a record 39" snowstorm in early November 2023. Megan worked with me as my flights kept changing, and she got me in!

I hope you understand that I hope I never see you again but you folks are where I will go if I need what you do. Thanks to all of you.

Oral surgery is never on anyone's list of things they look forward to. I unfortunately needed it…read moreand was sent over today by my dentist's office because they were concerned they would be unable to successfully complete a complicated extraction. Dr. Nordstrom and his staff were very nice. The office is beautiful. My experience here was similar to experiences that I have had at other oral surgeons. They expected some payment upfront, gave me an estimate- all standard stuff. It wasnt cheap, but in my experience oral surgery never is. The surgery went as expected, I was reasonably comfortable, but not without some discomfort, but I chose to be awake because sedation would have been much more expensive, so again, this was to be expected. When the doctor sensed I had reached my pain threshold he paused and added additional pain medication which in appreciated. In the past I've had some doctors not do that. The reason for 4 stars and not 5? 2 reasons. One the main gal in the lobby was somewhat off-putting. She talked a mile a minute and it was very hard to follow her directions. 2nd, they didnt ask me or offer any kind of payment plan, so I dont know if that was any option. My bill was enormous. If i hadn't had an FSA, I would have been screwed.

Dr. Szutz was apathetic to what amounts to half my annual salary and would not work with me, and refusing to even communicate with me on this. I am now facing the next 10 years living on half my paycheck so I can pay off the debt that I am in. I would highly recommend looking for alternate providers. It would have been cheaper for me to pay out of pocket to an out-of-state provider than work with his office. I will not work with them again.

Dr. Heagy was impatient with my child, making my son more upset. The Dr. became upset and frustrated with my child, grabbed him by the face, stood over him and began hollering at him. I was frightened for my child. I physically tried to pull the Dr.s hand from my childs face, but his grip was to tight, I could not. This man has no patience for children, and the fact that he and his staff think this is exceptable behavior for medical professions is, in my opinion, disgusting. Parents beware.

I was referred to Anchorage Oral and Implant Surgery by my regular Dentist, to have 4 broken molars…read moreremoved under IV sedation, as I'm very scared of going to the dentist. I had a successfully avoided the dentist surgery for 32 years, until pain from these broken teeth took me into the Dentist office. My regular dentist thought it better to have me sedated, and sent me to Dr Sashi to get the work done. I admit to being quite terrified - even just getting in one of those tilt-back chairs has me a nervous wreck. Tristan was my dental technician, and she was very warm, kind, understanding and welcoming. She took some kind of X-ray, where i had to sit, and put my chin in a tray, and it took no time. Dr. Sashi examined my mouth, and he explained everything. I said "Are you good?" (Trying to inject humour into the situation, to ease my nerves) and he said "I'm very good" i said i like that confidence! I knew he was good from all the reviews I'd seen about him. I was taken through to my treatment room, and given a blanket. I had a blood pressure cuff attached, sensors on my chest and stomach, a finger device, an oxygen tube into my nostrils, and the IV was started. This took, what seemed like seconds to get all this done. The injection to start the IV was quite literally painless, i barely even felt it. However, i didn't immediately fall asleep, so i started getting nervous like "Hey, I'm awake over here" But the next thing i know, I'm awake, with a big ice bandage round my head, and gauzes sticking out of my mouth. Quite dizzy, and not able to walk well yet. My friend who had driven me to the appointment, and waited while the surgery was completed was in the room waiting to escort me. I was mumbling, probably nonsense, and hugging all the staff in sight *facepalm* but i was quite loopy from the anaesthesia, so i can be forgiven for this. I was given an aftercare package, that is very thorough, and has do's and don'ts, and what you should be doing on each day following surgery. I haven't experienced a huge amount of pain either and i had turned down strong painkillers, but was told to call back for a prescription if i felt i needed it. Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen has managed my pain levels thus far. I am very happy with my extractions, and the stellar treatment i received at this Dental Surgery, and Dr. Sashi is indeed "Very good!" I do recommend this place.

If you are confused as a result, it's on you! This refers to everyone at their front desk and Dashow, who disregarded our concerns about misinformation and lost his professional composure toward us in the waiting room. Not sure how the procedure itself went, he didn't bother showing up after to update on anything. Called the office and had to settle for copies of the medical notes instead of talking to someone about what was done and forget about aftercare or asking questions about what to expect during healing. Went to other medical professionals to get aftercare and frankly, was relieved not to go back to that office. Their office space or patient rooms are not private; you can hear conversations from treatment rooms and patients moaning from pain while you sit in the waiting area. One visit while I was waiting to be seen, a parent told the front desk they had to leave because it was hard for them to hear their kid in pain. When I set up my original appointment, they were in network with my health insurance. By the time I got to my first appointment, they were no longer in network but didn't bother to tell me until I checked in, then they were all about getting paid. I should have taken that as a sign of how they treat people and run their office; BADLY!
