Over the years I have received dental treatment from a huge variety of talented Drs from general…read moredentists, pediatric dentists, orthodontics and my favorite of them all, oral surgery. 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.

They stayed calm, brought cold towels, helped me stand, and gave me a quiet room when I asked for some time to collect myself.

They also called my wife, which I greatly appreciated. All kidding aside, I was scared, and their kindness made a difficult experience much easier. Every person who helped treated me with patience, compassion, and genuine concern. That care deserves recognition, and Southcoast Endodontics has a team to be proud of. Thank you to everyone who took care of me. Next time, I'll do my best not to add any additional entertainment to the treatment plan.

I enjoyed my experience and recommended that dentistry for years. My son had a recent appointment where he was supposed to get sedated with gas or something so he would lower his nerves. But the owner who made the appointment had an emergency case. Now they treat money over patients welfare. So be prepared to payout to get good care. Also everything is now run by the owners brother who just goes by Sam at the reception area. Of course not his real name but he is not listed under the employee registry so I dont know why he is always walking around in and out of patient rooms in scrubs and ready to help anyway he can. He said he could not reschedule my sons appointment until his brother looked it over. But I felt disrespected after all these years with them and they couldn't even call to cancel the appointment before I got there. I am so upset and disappointed that the owner and Dentist let his brother come into the practice and ruin relationships built over years when he was not here. Its sad and disgraceful that now I have to move my whole family of 5 to new dentists that we can rely on and maybe we will just switch every couple years so we dont develop bonds like this in our community very sad.
