The men practicing here have the utmost knowledge of their specialty and are also immensely likeable and adept. I had an implant placed here years ago, before more modern implant treatments were performed and I have been grateful of my treatment ever since. *I will note that I am currently a dental student, and to be honest Dr. Farren was a major deciding push in my career. His genuine demeanor and amazing skill as well as being very explanatory to any patients with piqued curiosities is part of what drew me to the field. Once deciding for sure that I was interested I shadowed for 1 summer at the office, under the direction of Dr. Robinson who is also a talented as well as supremely kind practitioner. Being both a patient, and behind the scenes at this practice has made me without hesitation give the office the highest amount of stars possible. If you're anywhere near the office and you need a tooth pulled, or any other facial surgeries performed this is absolutely where you should go.

I had an overall good experience at SouthCoast Oral Surgery. The building has an old-fashioned…read moreappearance, and there is ample parking. However, I'm deducting a star because of how unwelcoming and unpleasant the front desk staff member was. I encountered the same woman during both my consultation and surgery appointment, and her attitude was just as poor both times. Perhaps not a bad day, but a bad life....This is an environment where patients are often anxious, and basic courtesy and customer service should be the bare minimum. On both visits, she failed to acknowledge me standing directly in front of her until I spoke up after nearly 5 minutes both times. She also tried to make it seem as though I hadn't completed my paperwork, despite the fact that I had filled everything out when I first scheduled my appointment. The paperwork was sitting in a stack right next to her. There is simply no excuse for treating patients this way, especially in a medical setting where people may already feel vulnerable. Thankfully, the actual medical care was a completely different experience. During my initial consultation, I had X-rays taken and watched a video explaining the potential risks associated with wisdom tooth removal. Dr. Reid then came in, reassured me that my case appeared straightforward, and thoroughly explained the procedure. I especially appreciated that he respected my autonomy by allowing me to decide whether to proceed, how many wisdom teeth I wanted removed, and which type of sedation I preferred. On the day of surgery, despite another unpleasant interaction at the front desk over payment (that I was prepared and willing to make) ; both Dr. Reid and his assistant were incredible. They maintained a relaxed, positive atmosphere and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire procedure. They explained what they were doing as they went, which helped ease my nerves. Despite having some stubborn impacted wisdom teeth, the procedure was completed in about 15 minutes. Between the music, sedation, and reassurance, I didn't feel a thing and was in good spirits throughout the experience. My recovery has been going well so far, and I've been following their aftercare instructions. Overall, I would recommend SouthCoast Oral Surgery for the quality of care. Dr. Reid and his assistant were professional, reassuring, and genuinely great at what they do. Just be prepared to deal with a front desk experience that leaves a lot to be desired. The surgical team deserves five stars; the front desk experience is the only reason I'm giving four.

My first contact with Dr Gomes-Moore was by telephone during an emergency when I was in severe pain…read morewith an abscess. She began treating me like I was a long-standing patient before I was. She consulted a medical doctor that I had previously seen and together they started antibiotic treatment. That was several years ago and during the pandemic. My dental health has come a long way since then and it's because of her kindness, compassion and skill. My lifelong fear of dental appointments has been alleviated by the entire team. A visit to the dentist now is far less stressful and way less painful than my past providers. So I go. Dr Gomes-Moore had also coordinated a root canal treatment with another doctor that turned out painless, and dental implant that was recently completed and feels just perfect. The entire team is friendly, the office is clean and professional. Choosing this doctor and office was one of my best decisions.

5 Stars for Dr. Gomes / 1 Star for Billing Operations…read more Dr. Ashley Gomes is an AMAZING dentist. She listens, takes pride in her work, and I'd be surprised if there's a better dentist out there. My family stayed with this practice for years because of her talent, despite noticing high turnover among the hygiene and office staff. Unfortunately, a recent issue with the billing department ruined our experience. After receiving an unexpected charge that was not disclosed prior to treatment, I attempted to resolve it via email. I received a brief, abrasive response alongside a hand-scribbled bill that lacked clear explanation. To clarify the charge, a Cigna insurance representative joined me on a conference call to advocate on my behalf. During that call, the billing staff member, Colin, was dismissive, repeatedly interrupted the representative, and became heated when challenged. While Cigna successfully got the inaccurate charge waived, our reward for advocating for transparent billing was receiving a certified letter terminating our care. Dr. Gomes is one of the best dentists around, but the unprofessionalism and hostility from her administrative team ultimately forced us out. I strongly encourage management to review phone recordings with Cigna so Dr. Gomes understands how her patients are being treated behind closed doors.
