I had a very positive experience with Dr. Nguyen and his entire team. From the consultation through the procedure and follow-up, everyone was professional, confident, and caring, which made the whole experience much less stressful. Dr. Nguyen made me feel that I was in very capable hands. During the procedure, his assistant Clara was especially attentive and caring, continually making sure I was comfortable. I followed their post-op instructions closely, and my recovery went very smoothly. I'm very grateful for the excellent care I received and would highly recommend Dr. Nguyen and his team. read more

From the moment I walked in I felt at ease. The thought of having surgery is already anxiety producing for me (add to that my financial concerns). All was put to rest before leaving. Everything about the initial consultation felt both professional, yet comforting at the same time and I never, not once, felt doubt about my decision to follow through with this referral. Dr. Funk was very pleasant, she took her time and talked me off of the ledge with what seemed like viable options, and, gratefully, no pressure to do any unnecessary things. Though I have yet to do the actual procedure, I can only attest to the process in making in my consultation, first impressions are everything to me ... and finally, I just want to give high elevation to my interaction with the Business Manager, Mercedes. She was also very understanding about my financial concerns, thoroughly explained options and even encouraged follow-up with my general dentists to discuss best options for periodontics after care. I am feeling, thankfully, very comfortable (as much as I can), with my upcoming surgical procedure. read more

I am so relieved that I visited Bayside and was treated by Dr. Funk and Alexis who were both so amazing! I needed a last minute appointment for an extraction I was in so much pain and the administration team not only were able to accomodate my schedule but also met me with the upmost kindness and professionalism! Pricing was reasonable and they took my insurance. I know I'll need more work and I'll certainly be returning to them. I'd recommend to anyone who needs a caring touch and seeking a great team dedicated to your comfort. Trust that good care doesn't have to be hard to look for when you're working with Bayside! Thank you all so much at Bayside! I look forward to working with you again soon! read more

Still a straight five for these guys. They did a tooth implant in 25 minutes flat. They're great!

Not sure how I have never yelped Dr.Khalil before. Dr.Khalil and his staff are absolutely wonderful! They have taken care of my 3 boys, nephews & brother in laws (wisdom teeth) and my husband (Extraction & implant). We moved with them to their beautiful new office that he has now been in for a few years. So nice that they have their own parking lot which in this area is huge! Dr.Khalil is a great oral surgeon that's for sure...he just took care of our baby girl today (wisdom teeth). His staff were all so sweet to my baby girl as well. Andrea was with her the whole time read more

I had an extraction of a molar today; from the time I picked up the phone to make an appointment after finding Bayside Oral on Yelp through when I left the offices this afternoon, I was cared for by some really great people. Everyone I encountered was professional, outgoing and congenial. My procedure was more than I expected to have to have done but during each step of the way I knew I was in the best place to get the care I needed. Afterward, I was given clear instrutions on follow-up care. The offices are clean and modern, everyone worked well together and I look forward to the follow-up visit. I don't want to lose any more teeth but if I do, I know who to call! read more

Thanks for your reply. I wanted to first let you know that my sole purpose for going to your office was to get your opinion on whether my wisdom tooth needed to in fact come out . Second, since I never had agreed to have you remove the tooth - why would you even need to check my blood pressure? I have been to various specialists where I was never asked to check my blood pressure when my sole purpose was to ask a question to not have a procedure done. This is not standard of care. If I had indeed agreed to have you remove the tooth then that would have been appropriate. As to me showing disrespect to my wife I obviously value her dental opinion otherwise I would never have agreed to come to your office. Don't ever presume to judge a relationship based on ur erroneous interpretation on the brief interaction we had in your office. I allowed my wife to fully explain the situation around my wisdom tooth and to highlight her concerns about the close proximity of my wisdom tooth with my sinus which you brushed off as inconsequential. And I feel that I had legitimate questions about potential side effects not just endocarditis which is obviously a rare side effect. I mentioned the high likelihood of dry socket which again you dismissed as negligible And to the last point how is my asking you a question about the number of wisdom tooth extractions you done insulting to you ? You then got so threatened that you try to spin it around and ask me about my own clinical competence. I think any patient has a right to ask the doctor their experience in doing the procedure that they are being consulted to possibly preform It like asking a cardiologist how many cardiac caths they have done or how many cystoscopies a urologist has done when the patient is possibly going to get those procedures done In terms of me walking out and being upset I felt that I had every right to be upset about how you treated me during my visit There are hundreds of oral surgeons buddy in the Bay Area and you are not the only one Don't tell how me you did my wife a favor by having you see me. read more

Recently, I reviewed my experience with an Oral Surgeon at the Berkeley Oral Surgery Clinic, and the very unprofessional nature of this flawed practice. Having to transfer to another Oral Surgery practice, my regular dentist, Amy Lee, referred me to Dr Adel Khalil, at Bayside Oral Surgery! The atmosphere was totally different, with the welcoming staff being incredibly friendly and kind!! Dr Khalil was very cordial and very professional. and he provided the needed implant to accommodate a new tooth, which is to be placed by Amy Lee. I wish to express my deepest gradatude to Adel for renewing my faith in competent and knowledgeable Oral Surgeons, after my previous pathetic experience, that I have enumerated recently on Yelp! Dr RHF read more

I had to get a tooth pulled. I was referred by Albany Oral Surgery, a sister office to this group. Dr. Goo did an intake and found that did have to have it pulled. I decided to get an implant (instead of a bridge). Dr. Goo and 2 assistants helped with the operation. I paid extra for "Laughing Gas", and it was worth it. I laughed a lot. The team worked well together. Before the operation started I asked Dr. Goo and his 2 assistants if they believed in Guardian Anels. They nodded "yes". I asked if they would imagine our Guardian Angels working together for my highest good. The operation went very well...easy smeazy. Yesterday a few hours after the operation, a member of the staff called to check on me...very cool. Dr. Goo is a great communicator!!! He answered all my questions, and he worked well with his team! I highly recommend Dr. GOO, and his team at Bayside Oral Surgery for dental extractions. read more

I can sing nothing but high praises for this place. In December, I had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted and it was the most seamless (affordable) process I have ever gone through with anything dental. I had a work colleague recommend this place after being quotes upwards of 2 grand for my procedure, where Bayside had me pack $400 for all four (considering I also used my insurance). Each dental assistance was SUPER sweet and explained everything thoroughly. They also helped ease my anxiety and nervousness when it came to being put under. My healing was also phenomenal. I had some tongue numbness due to one of my teeth being close to the nerve, but I was informed before the surgery that that was a possibility - so I was not alarmed when it happened. I know people don't say this often, but if I had to get my wisdom teeth pulled again, I would 100% go back to Bayside! read more

This is a really fabulous practice. Each and every person who works there, from the reception to the dental assistants to Dr. Khalil are kind and warm, very capable, and take the time to really get things right. I had to have oral surgery- a new experience for me -and they walked me through it both verbally and then gently physically with such care and incredible skill that the after effects were negligible. I expected so much pain and misery afterwards and there was minimal. They are quick and thorough and the assistants are very knowledgeable. At one point in the follow up implant procedure after two extractions, I began to lose my composure and stamina, and experienced strong emotions and needing to cry-and I just told them "stop everything ,I need to cry" And they paused, held my hand and touched my shoulder, and gave me time and just waited while I got my feelings out and then was able to continue. This is what compassion looks like. Highly recommend. read more

I am so happy with how my consultation went. The appointment was easy to make. The intake was seamless. The office is beautiful and comfortable. My consultation was very thorough and informative. The entire team was so kind. Dr. Khalil was a great communicator and put me at ease. He was very supportive about my concerns and put together a great plan for me. The best part of my visit was feeling seen and heard by a doctor who is so knowledgeable with a lot of experience. I feel like I am in great hands and I trust that I am going to be well taken care of. read more

Today was my first time going to this office. My appointment was for a consultation for a potential implant. I was impressed by Dr. Khalil's professionalism and actually encouraging me to get a second opinion from a DDS to see if my tooth can be saved for another 5/6 years by putting a new crown, rather than just planning to extract and do the implant. This gave me confidence in going back to his office. The staff were also friendly, helpful and professional. I'll provide an update if I ended up doing the actual implant. read more

Unorganized practice. I was scheduled to have my four wisdom teeth removed on Wednesday, April 19th but no one reached out beforehand to make sure I had the medication I needed to take before my extractions. I called Bayside on Thursday, April 13th because I had not heard anything from them and asked if I needed to pick up any medication. They told me they would send a prescription in for me. I was gone for the weekend but I called the pharmacy on Monday, April 17th to make sure my prescription was ready for pick up that day. The pharmacy told me they never received a prescription for me. I called Bayside again on Monday, April 17th and they had not sent the prescription to the pharmacy. They finally had someone place an order for the medication on Monday the 17th. Bayside either did not submit the order or it was submitted too late because the pharmacy was not able to fulfill my prescription that should have been ready for me to pick up on April 17th. I needed to start a mouthwash two days before my extractions and now I can no longer keep my scheduled appointment to remove my wisdom teeth (see picture of instructions). This could have been avoided if the person in charge of submitting prescriptions had done her job on Thursday, April 13th when I called. On top of this, I wrote on my initial consultation form that I had an allergic reaction to Oxycodone and Dr. Vu prescribed me a narcotic that contained similar ingredients even after I stated I did not want it. As he said, "It is what we usually give people". Such a shame, I had heard great things about this practice. Avoid this place and save yourself the headache. In response to Bayside's reply to my review: The pharmacy confirmed they never received a prescription on April 13th. They also allow up to two weeks for prescriptions to be picked up, so Bayside's response is incorrect about prescriptions being canceled after 48 hours. I have added a picture of my calls with Bayside from April 13th to April 17th. I did not refuse to talk to anyone. I missed their call and called back later that same day. As for the prescriptions prescribed to me, I have a voicemail from Bayside acknowledging that they prescribed me a narcotic that contained similar ingredients. Also, if Bayside's instructions are not meant to be followed word for word then Bayside should include that in the instructions. How am I supposed to know that they are recommendations if that is not mentioned? Bayside's office manager, Mercedes, reached out to me on April 18th. I appreciate her reaching out to talk to me about my review and experience at Bayside. She offered me a discount and asked what she could do so I would take down my review. She attempted to make things right but I was not interested in receiving any services at Bayside. Having a tooth extraction is a nerve-wracking procedure and feeling like I was not properly prepared for my surgery was a letdown. Like I told Mercedes maybe I was the exception but this was my experience at Bayside and I will not be taking down my review. I also attached an image of Bayside's original response to my review. read more

Had an upper wisdom tooth removed here. The dentist decided removing the lower wisdom teeth were not worth the risks. The procedure and recovery went well. I appreciate their honesty. Highly recommend Dr. KHALIL read more

Dr. Goo, Stephanie, & the Front Desk were all amazing. Dr. Goo was so down to earth. He explained everything throughly. My tooth has needed work for at least 10years. He had a tough job ahead of him. He made me feel comfortable. I felt zero pain throughout the extraction phase. Thank you all so much. Thank you for the most amazing playlist and care. See you all at Follow up. read more

A great experience, That sounds crazy when talking about teeth getting pulled but Dr. Goo is a patient's doctor/ smooth operator. I had some wisdom teeth pulled and I was very anxious. He put me at ease before and during the procedure. He paid attention to my gestures when I felt discomfort and addressed them immediately with his staff. Next thing you know I was done just like that in and out the chair. I had to give him a fist pound after the procedure. I really was blown away. The facility was clean and modern, the staff was nice and patient with me. I was offered apple juice lol. A really nice touch that enhanced the experience. read more

If you are nervous about having an extraction, look no further. Dr. Khalil and his team of expert staff delivered an amazing experience for my IV sedation and wisdom tooth extraction. Everyone at their office is friendly and happy to help, the Doctor is very knowledgeable and will put your concerns at ease. Highly recommend this practice! read more

Dr. Khalil and his dental and office crew, provides excellent care with attention to details. I've had multiple oral surgeries, over several years at this practice, with one particular tooth bone base requiring special treatment to encourage bone growth for extra three months for the tooth implant to be readied for the crown by my main dentist who had recommended Dr. Khalil. The dental care personnel and their state of the art equipment contributes to overall positive and comforting experiences. All of my procedures went well. Office staff takes good care of me with text reminders and professionally friendly demeanors. I've even received numerous thoughtful considerations and a recommendation on a non-oral related health issue by Dr. Khalil. I am grateful to have my oral health tended to by this fine group, over the years. read more

I had a really bad experience with Dr. Khalil. My bottom wisdom teeth had cysts next to them, which were eating away at my jawbone. But my case was a particularly difficult one, because the roots of my tooth were close to the nerve that supplied feeling to the lower lip. Removing both teeth stood a risk of damaging that nerve. Despite this, it felt to me like Dr. Khalil was inattentive to the details of my case and was rushing through the consultation. He pushed me toward getting my bottom wisdom teeth fully removed. I asked whether a coronectomy (just removing the top parts of the teeth) would work to remove the cysts, and he said no. Dr. Khalil was wrong. I later went to a different oral surgeon, who had no difficulty removing both cysts by doing coronectomies. In fact, it turns out that the roots of my tooth were calcified around the nerve canal, which meant that fully removing the teeth would have almost surely caused me irreparable nerve damage. I'm very glad that I asked for a second opinion and decided to go with a different surgeon. To Dr. Khalil's credit, he did advise getting just one of my wisdom teeth removed at first, and then coming back to a second surgery to deal with my other tooth. That's because if removing one of my teeth did cause nerve damage, it would only cause me to lose feeling to one side of my lower lip, not both. So if I had gone with Dr. Khalil, the outcome would have probably been permanent loss of feeling to half of my lower lip, not the whole thing. Nevertheless, this would have been a really bad outcome caused by poor judgment on Dr. Khalil's part. read more

It's been about 24hrs since getting all of my wisdom teeth out under IV sedation and I have nothing but great things to say about the entire team. The highlight for me were the interactions with the surgical team, from the thorough and calming consultation to the completely painless procedure. And while my case wasn't terribly complicated, it wasn't completely straightforward either, yet it seems to have gone perfectly. It's also a great testament to the team's skill that I have been able to tolerate the pain without a single painkiller since I was released. If you're dreading getting dental work done, or if you're on the fence about where to go, I can confidently say that the good folks at Bayside OMS will do a top notch job and treat you well. My anticipatory anxiety was a lot worse than the actual surgery and recovery so far. In case either of these is a tie-breaker: The facility is clean and modern and their pricing is very reasonable for the Bay Area. Easy parking on-site, too. Thank you thank you thank you!! read more

Professional business. Nice looking as well. Went in for an x-Ray and consultation with Dr. Vu. Their pricing was transparent. Love the practice. Great equipment. Highly recommend for wisdom teeth extractions. They have parking. PS: My referral was from the Berkeley Hills Dental Care, which is walking distance from this practice. Recommend Dr. Pour-Ansari for general dentistry. Am I looking forward to taking my prescriptions and having my teeth removed...who is? read more

My baby sitter was late and I had to push my appointment back one hour. The receptionists were totally understanding and friendly. I was also TERRIFIED, I had never had a tooth pulled before and the staff was so reassuring and so gentle, they listened to all of my questions patiently and gave me complete answers to all my questions without making me feel stupid or like I was annoying them. The office is immaculately clean, welcoming, professional, modern, and every staff member seemed to work in perfect harmony with each other. I have horrible teeth, for many reasons, but mostly I was homeless for years. They did not judge me for a second, they even gave me hope for the future of my teeth and reassured me that it wasn't as bad as I thought. They gave me all the information needed about the procedure, after care, recovery, future care, etc. They even explained all the machines and medicines being used. The dental assistant (Mimi?) Was so so nice to me, calmed me down, was super patient and calm. She was my cheerleader through the whole process. The payment associate (the pretty samoan woman) was so friendly and not pushy at all. The dentist/doctor was AMAZING. Dr. Lin!!! Best experience ever. His parents should be epically proud of him. I feel like writing them a letter and just raving about how good he is at what he does. He was the best, gentle eyes, patient and informative, and I felt totally safe during the procedure. I won't go to another place as long as I live in the bay area for any more issues. Five stars and two thumbs up. Such an amazing and good experience. Thank you guys so so much. read more

Bayside Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery - Oral Surgeons Near Me - Berkeley, California

See all

Dr. Khalil and his amazing staff saved the day and saved me a lot of pain! I've had a lifetime of dental trauma, so I would know the difference! I found Bayside on accident and out of desperation, when oral surgeons from Oakland to Sac couldn't see me until next week. Bayside got me in immediately, with an experience that was incredibly warm, helpful, efficient and kind. Dr. Khalil has one of those reassuring voices and a "lets just fix it, no big deal" attitude. Dental work for me is always painful with a lot of shame, and his demeanor is the type to care about your pain while also whisking the shame away. I had a comforting and efficient experience, while recognizing his expertise in his field as something I could trust. His staff was equally reassuring and easy, I didnt have a single frustrating moment at Bayside and am grateful I accidentally found them. read more

Super modern, well run office with top quality care. I appreciate Bayside Oral Surgery for being able to fit me in same day that I got referred by my general dentist for a mouth trauma situation after an accident. The office has all the most modern technology and equipment, and the staff work really well together. Dr. Khalil is to-the-point, efficient, and very skilled. Extra thanks to Alexis for her kindness and reassurance throughout my procedures. This office has good reviews for a reason! read more

These guys are a complete sham and very unprofessional as well. I went to Bayside through my general dentist in 2021, because I have a PPO plan that allows me to pick whatever dentist I want, and to pick and choose between them according to their means and methods and their associative costs. At first Dr. Khalil and his staff were courteous and professional and put together an estimate for the 3 implants I needed to get done. They were happy to pull together the plans and offer me estimates of the work. However as soon as the procedures began the courteousness and the professionalism rapidly deteriorated. As someone who has a great seal of experience with several dentists and in full knowledge of what works for me in so far as procedures, I told Dr. Khalil and his staff that for extractions I would prefer local anesthesia in combination with Nitrous Oxide as I know my body well and I know what works for me. Dr. Khalil decided in his hubris to completely ignore my instructions and decided to pull one of my teeth using local anesthesia only, which naturally didn't work. He pumped my jaw full of local anesthesia for over an hour, and I was still in pain during the extraction. So instead of at that point concurring with me with the procedure he took it upon himself to recommend full IV sedation which costs $230 per 15 minutes so the cost of the extraction went from $480 to $1480!! I was in shock. Also with full IV I needed to get someone to drop me off and to pick me up afterwards which added another level of hassle. I told the doctor in no uncertain terms that this is not necessary and the local anesthesia and nitrous treatment would work fine as it had done so for numerous occasions in the past, but he refused to see eye to eye with me, so at the behest of his office manager I decided to take that portion of the procedure to another oral surgeon in the Bay Area who would accede to my request and to reduce my out of pocket costs from $1500 to $500 dollars, which is quite significant for a simple extraction. After a few months when the extraction was healed I decided to return to Dr. Khalil for the rest of my procedures so that we could move forward with the rest of my treatment. I called in to schedule an appointment and I was told by his office manger (the same one that told me to take my extraction elsewhere for a cost that I felt comfortable with) that they would no longer accept me as a patient and that I was not allowed to make any future appointments. I asked why and I wasn't provided with any reason and when I asked for Dr. Khalil to follow up with me to explain he never did so. In closing despite the many positive reviews for this Oral Surgeon I have to say my experience was quite contrary and very unprofessional and would add that for any new patients to make yourself completely informed as to the fine print and pay close attention to your pocket book because quite often they will suggest procedures for you that are going to be very cost prohibitive and to your disadvantage. I am thoroughly disgusted with the lack of professionalism and follow through from Dr. Khalil and his staff and if I could give them zero stars I would. The response from Mercedes below is a complete fabrication. I've never cursed at any of the staff and the idea of getting a referral after already being a patient since July 2021 is again a complete lie. Not only can these face their own lack of professionalism but they choose to cast negative aspirations on someone who steps up to address their BS, which is only going to reflect badly on them. read more

I had a progressively deteriorating toothache, while isolating during the pandemic. After a couple of weeks, the pain got so bad I couldn't sleep. I was able to make a 10:15 appointment. Got X-rays quickly. Met Dr. Sheng Chuan Lin. The tooth had gone rogue and needed extraction. Can we go for it now? By 1PM, I was on my way, though slightly lighter. I felt the charges were reasonable and the quick availability was excellent. Thanks to all the staff at Bayside for your excellent work. read more

Had a wonderful experience at Bayside with my wisdom teeth removal. Went in for a consultation and did x-rays/discussed the procedure with Dr. Lin. After that was over I was given a prescription order to pick up (which I appreciated this being done early so I didn't have to do it after my procedure). Was getting pretty nervous leading up to my procedure day but luckily everything went great. Showed up for my appointment first thing in the morning and they did a great job of following COVID guidelines (temp checks, masks, spacing). Got into the room and the assistant started preparing me (hair mask, gas, monitors, etc.). Dr. Lin came in and asked me a few more questions and then they gave me the general anesthesia. It felt like I fell asleep for one minute but once I woke up an hour had passed and gauze was being put at my extraction sites. I had all 4 removed (1 was impacted and grew in completely sideways). I was brought to the recovery area and waited for my ride to come get me. They gave me lots of gauze to bring home along with tea bags and post-op instructions which were really helpful. I am writing this 4 days after my appointment and I have NOT had any swelling or pain. Dr. Lin is amazingg!! Of course, please be diligent and take your antibiotics/mouthwash before and after the procedure to prevent infections. Follow the rules and stick to soft foods and salt water rinses after each meal. I definitely think all of the pre/post op care helped with reducing pain/swelling (use lots of ice packs). Pricing: I think I paid a fair amount for this procedure (although it definitely varies based on your dental insurance and make sure all of that is sorted out during the consultation). Staff: Receptionists are super helpful every time I called or had a in-person interaction. The dental assistant who prepped me did a great job of easing my nerves and was really friendly. Overall 10/10 experience. Coming back for a follow-up soon and hoping all goes well. Thanks Dr. Lin! read more

Great patient care. Exceptional service and follow up. My daughter had all four of her wisdom test her removed a week ago on a Friday. I was pleasantly surprised to see they did follow up texts about 3 hours after the oral surgery and then followed up with a link for us to contact them should any issues arise. In addition they even followed up with a telephone call o. Saturday morning to check on her. I recommend this or surgeons office. 5 star service all the way. Thank you for taking the time to extend the absolute best patient care I've seen in years. read more

I had my 4 wisdom teeth (one impacted & IV sedation) removed by Dr. Khalil and his team a few weeks ago. It felt very quick, and I could tell the team was experienced and confident with this procedure. I also searched online and found countless pre/post-surgery advice, but Bayside Oral Surgery had clear instructions (Dos & Don'ts), which was very helpful to me. I fortunately didn't get dry sockets. The doctor prescribed me 2 types of pain meds, but my pain just subsided with Ibuprofen and an ice pack they gave me on the day of surgery. I know the experience can vary depending on the person, but I think following their instruction greatly impacted my quick recovery. Honestly, the whole process was waaayyyy better than what I heard from others & what I expected. I was back to my work on Day 3. BIG THANK YOU!!!!!! read more

I never knew I needed someone patting my head and telling me 'everything's gonna be okay baby' during my mid-20s while I was getting my wisdom teeth extracted. I was totally relaxed and felt like a child again with my mother by my side putting me to sleep throughout the whole surgery. The staff is extremely friendly. They made sure I got all the information I need. They really make sure you are okay weeks after the surgery. Would totally recommend read more

They were sooooo great. I feel like everything there is about making you feel comfortable and aware of what is happening. From check-in to payment to procedure. I never felt unaware or forgotten about. It was literally the fastest wisdom tooth extraction I have ever had. The dentist, Dr. Khalil, and the dental assistant were so kind. The intentional soothing pats, stabilizing of the head and verbal checking in all made the process relaxing and smooth. Would definitely recommend for major procedures. read more

Nobody wants to get a tooth yanked out but Dr Goo and his crew (cool band name) were actually fun.

It is quite evident to me that Dr. Khalil is a very skilled doctor, however my personal experience with him and his office was not positive. I was originally referred to him by my primary dentist due to pain in a molar. Dr. Khalil appeared very sympathetic, but he did not want to pull the tooth unnecessarily, so he referred me to a wonderful endodontist. Long story short, the endodontist ended up performing three root canals on the tooth, as the pain and infection would not diminish. So, I was sent back to Dr. Khalil months later. He examined the tooth, provided medication, and told me specifically to return in one week if the pain did not subside, and he would extract the tooth no questions asked. Under direction of my primary dentist, I returned in two weeks. I made an appointment for the extraction, and at the very last minute, Dr. Khalil's approach was quite rude and dismissive, and he tells me he will not pull the tooth as it would be a waste of his time. I was very confused, and distressed as by this point, the tooth was causing a great deal of discomfort, and I could not figure out why he changed his mind. He tells me that I should instead see a neurologist, as the pain I was experiencing was likely from stress or bad nerves. I called my primary dentist frustrated, and he had me referred to a different maxillofacial surgeon that day, and I got the tooth extracted. I come to find out that the tooth was severely infected, decaying, and would have eventually come out on its own. A neurologist would likely have been of no assistance in this case. I am not entirely clear as to why this occurred, but I do hope that no future patients have this experience. read more

When looking for a dental surgeon, I want somebody who is friendly, warm, and reassuring, but more than anything else I want a surgeon with some SERIOUS SKILLS. I want somebody who has done the exact procedure I need hundreds, nay thousands of times. I'm pretty sure that's exactly what I found with Bayside. I was referred to Dr. Kallil at Bayside by my awesome dentist at Crown Dental in El Cerrito. I came in to have all 4 wisdom teeth removed. I'm in my 30s and had never gone under general anesthesia before. I was nervous about the surgery, about the risk for dry socket, about unexpected costs not covered by my dental insurance, but mostly I was nervous about pain during the week following the surgery. During my pre-surgery consultation visit I spent more time than I'm accustomed to in the waiting room. Having arrived on time for my appointment, I was left waiting for over a half hour in the waiting room. I checked in with the receptionist and it appeared they'd forgotten about me. They brought me in shortly after that. That was my only negative experience detracting from an otherwise 5-star experience. The administrative and dental staff are all very sweet and helpful. During my visit Dr. Khalil was very friendly and approachable. He took plenty of time to check out my teeth and answer my questions and concerns during our pre-surgery consultation. The surgery itself was a great success. I got to hang out on laughing gas waiting for them to get started. The only pain was the little prick in my arm for the IV. A moment later I was looking at my lovely wife, waking me up to go home. After hearing horror stories from friends about swelling up like a chipmunk, I was pleased to experience a relatively easy recovery. I chalk that up almost 100% to the skill and experience of my surgeon. read more

I got my wisdom teeth out by Dr Goo like 30 mins ago and I am so happy I did it here. The nurse was SO NICE. I was like basically having a panic attack and she was so sweet with checking in on me and making me feel comfortable, I really trusted her and Dr Goo. She rubbed my shoulder when he gave me the numbing shots (I got local anesthetic and laughing gas). I got 2 wisdom teeth out with insurance for about 200-300 dollars , way cheaper than I thought it would be. I was also able to schedule an appointment in the same week as I called which was great since it was kind of an emergency situation. 10/10 would recommend and would definitely go back! read more

Words cannot express my gratitude with Dr. Khalil and staff. After a faulty dental implant caused by my regular dentist, Dr. Khalil removed it for free and redid the implant. I was very nervous, however Dr. Khalil and staff made me feel so comfortable. The new dental implant was completed in less than an hour. And now I'm going to see a new dentist for the final touch which is a crown. Whoever might read this and needs a dental implant or oral surgery, I recommend Dr. Khalil and staff. read more

I want to thank Bayside oral surgery for taking such good care of me. I needed my tooth extracted and was so nervous. Everyone there from the moment I walked through the door was very welcoming. The surgery assistant talked to me like we've been friends for years. She made me feel so comfortable. When my blood was drawn I didn't feel a thing. I was ready for my extraction. I had local anesthetic and nitrous oxide. (My choice because I was nervous) Dr. Khalil was very gentle. He explained everything to me with each step and then it was over. My best experience with my extraction. I would recommend bayside oral surgery to my family, friends and anyone looking for a gentle welcoming oral surgeon. They are the best! read more

If your looking to get your wisdom teeth extracted, this is your place!!!! They have the best staff from the front office to the back office. I felt so comfortable through my whole appointment! I have been dreading this appointment for a little too long but I'm so glad I stuck with it. They made me feel so at ease and made sure I had all my prescription before my appointment. I got the IV sedation and Dr Khalil is amazing! The back office staff is so knowledgeable and explains everything to you and your driver to make you have the best post op care when you leave. I forgot to mention I had little to no bruising! If I had to do this again I know exactly where I am going! Thank you Bayside! Your guys are amazing! read more
