I've been a patient at this oral surgery office in the past and received good care on one occasion,…read moreso I returned with a sense of trust. Unfortunately, my recent experience made it very clear that this office does not truly accommodate emergencies--despite advertising that they do. I was facing a legitimate dental emergency, had already been evaluated by three separate dentists, and was told unequivocally that the tooth required extraction. I explained that I now live three hours away and asked for a reasonable accommodation--an early consult with the possibility of treatment later the same day. This is a standard, patient-centered approach in many practices, especially when clinical documentation already exists. They refused outright, insisting on a consult-only visit and requiring me to return on a different day. There was no flexibility, no clinical judgment applied to the situation, and frankly, no consideration for the burden placed on the patient. Let me be very clear: this is not an "emergency" oral surgery office. It is a routine, by-the-book practice that does not deviate from protocol under any circumstance. If your needs are straightforward and you don't require any accommodation, you may have an acceptable experience. But if you are in pain, time-sensitive, or need a provider willing to exercise discretion and compassion--you will not find it here. As a nurse with 38 years of experience, I have spent my career going above and beyond for patients, especially in urgent situations. That level of care should not be the exception--it should be the standard. When a medical office markets itself as providing emergency services but refuses to act accordingly, that's not just disappointing--it's misleading. Choose your provider carefully. When you're in a true emergency, this is not the place you want to rely on.

The morning of the procedure everything went as planned with no delays. I was prescribed pain meds and he called me that same day in the late evening to check in and see how I was doing. I missed the call but I appreciated the message. I had some concerns about some pain I was feeling several days after and I was able to email in some pictures for him to take a look at and see if things looked normal. I was relieved to hear back and I was able to get a refill for meds. All in all the experience was very pleasant and I can see why this location has so many 5 stars.

I needed 3 impacted wisdom teeth out and 1 that was slightly erupted. Now if I was a kid and got this done, I wouldn't even bat an eye. But since I'm older now, in my 40s, I understand that with an increase in age comes an increase in risks. He explained all the risks and I still felt very comfortable proceeding. IV sedation was the chosen method of anesthesia. Didn't feel anything honestly. Once the drugs started, probably within 3 mins I was out. Not sure if I was actually sleeping with my eyes closed or maybe they were open and I didn't know what was going on. In any case, I don't remember anything and when I came to, it felt like it was maybe 5-10 mins that had passed. It was quite surreal tbh, and I would recommend anyone doing this procedure to do IV sedation. I think general would be overkill (and more expensive), but that's just my opinion. Road to recovery now. Thanks Dr. Adamous!

But in this case, I feel it's important to share. I came to this office years ago after moving to Cerritos, right before my wedding, simply looking for a new dentist and a routine cleaning. They had great reviews, which is why I trusted them. From the start, I was told I had extensive issues--multiple cavities needed to be redone and several crowns were recommended. This was surprising to me, as I've consistently gone to the dentist and had never been told I needed such drastic work. Still, I trusted their assessment. The procedures that followed were some of the most painful dental experiences I've ever had. They took hours, felt extremely aggressive, and left me in severe pain afterward--far beyond what I've ever experienced with dental work. I have a high pain tolerance, and this felt very wrong. What was most frustrating was what happened next. I returned multiple times explaining that I couldn't sleep, eat, or function due to the pain. Each time, my concerns were dismissed and attributed to things like not flossing (umm I couldn't floss because of the extreme pain), which didn't make sense given the level of pain I was in. After pushing back repeatedly--especially with my wedding just days away--I insisted something was seriously wrong and requested further evaluation. It turned out I needed three root canals as a result of their prior work. Separately, the crowns that were placed caused ongoing issues. Eating anything with texture would cause gum pain, and I noticed unusual gaps that trapped food. When I brought this up, I was told the only solution was to redo the crowns at additional cost. My crowns also came off. Later, I happened to see a different dentist at the same office (a female provider who may have been temporary), and she immediately noted that the crowns had been placed at an awkward angle. She corrected them, and since then, I've had no pain and no further issues such as crowns falling off. I ultimately switched dentists and have not needed any major dental work since--just routine cleanings every six months, with no recurring problems. Based on what I went through--particularly the aggressive treatment, the outcome, and the dismissal of my concerns--I feel it's important for others to have full context before making a decision.
