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.

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!

The best choice for extractions! And, the best office to never be a regular patient!!…read more Over the years Dr Krey has removed wisdom teeth for my family members, and cared for a stubborn canine for my then 11 year old. Dr. Krey is overall one of the best doctors I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Among his strengths, he has a calming demeanor, is knowledgeable, and has a way of explaining procedures simply. During my recent procedure, he kept me updated each step of the way which helped to keep me calm and feel that he did not just see me as "molar number 3". So rare to find a doctor that addresses not just the issue, but also the human! Note that this office has staff with these same qualities! After 27 years, my root canal tooth decided to give up. Upon seeing I was nervous, the very kind assistant Miya assured me and said, "It's okay, sometimes we outlive our teeth." What a beautiful way to phrase it! I believe her name was Claire, at the front desk, was very efficient with gathering foundational paperwork. Joseph worked on my insurance and also took the time to assure me that all was well. There is another gentleman, tall, black glasses that I have encountered in the past that took exceptional care of my 2 younger family members during and after their procedures, gave after care instructions and answered all questions. When one of the staff called me hours later after my procedure to ask about how I was doing, I was almost teary. Overall, this is the best office to never have to visit that often, and will take care of you not just as a patient, but also has a human. I do not have the words to truly say how much I appreciate Dr. Krey and his staff.

She had all four impacted wisdom teeth surgery during winter break with the oral surgeon in our hometown.

Called right at 8am this morning and Cissy, who answered the phone, was professional, understanding, and patient with this worried mom! She scheduled my daughter for this afternoon and was clear on what Dr. Irving needed from the other oral surgeon before the appt. And to fill out the Patient Registration form on their website. My daughter was cared for by Dr. Irving - both infected sides were numbed and cleaned out. He also wanted to evaluate her to make sure antibiotics were necessary. He reassured her that her recovery would be easier than after her surgery. He got her in and out. She is feeling much better tonight, and I'm glad she has an excellent oral surgeon away from home!

I will start by stating I am aware complications can happen, despite his high level of confidence…read more Over the course of 6 weeks, my concerns were dismissed though I reached out several times. Reluctantly they made an appointment. His assistant, with a cursory exam said "everything looks fine " and added since you're already here, I'll have Dr Hong check it before you go..... Moments later: 1 touch with the probe and he discovers the implant is mobile. "Oh! It's not supposed to do that. It has to be immediately removed " He had discovered a large hematoma and infectious complications, which required 2 rounds of antibiotics. ( This accumulation triggered the excessive nerve pain I experienced during the post op period). Of note, I meticulously followed the post op recommendations and shared my concerns in a timely manner. Without minimal reference to the gap nor outcome, they later contacted me to complete the process after I recovered. With trust irrevocably broken, I did not return and sought several excellent consultations before selecting the care team who had both expertise and compassion.

All the best technology combined with a caring and patient team that provide a safe and comfortable…read moreenvironment! I've been going here for years and they always take great care :) (I'm super hard on my teeth and had a lot of work done!) Their free evaluation includes detailed X-rays and 3D high-res scans that show every detail and crack that might lead to future problems so you can take care of them before they get out of hand (and more expensive!) but they never push any work on you. always reasonable about what you can put off for later, get other quotes, etc. and if you need a crown they can mill them in-house so you don't have to come back another day! Pro tip: ask for a "bite block" to keep your mouth open so your jaw doesn't get sore, and some lip balm so your lips don't get chapped! I also go for only 1/4 shot of pain killer and I can't feel a thing and no numb mouth and cheek biting after! but most people might prefer 1/2 shot ;)

Top notch dentists - so why the low score?…read more I would give 0 stars if it were possible all due to my ongoing saga with the billing department. NEVER give them a credit card number. They charge your account without ever notifying you. I have not gone to the dentist in over a year because I'm so fed up with their asinine business practices. They charged me $600 on January 1st for their optional "extra" dental plan. I called them to resolve the issue and was told that yes, I'm considered an "inactive" client - so why charge me $600 no one can answer that question and its been a week and still no refund. They are crooks.

When you go back, they tell you they can repair it, but you'll have to pay a second time. That was my experience with Dr. Alex McDonald. I ended up being charged an additional $300 to have a hole that was left behind re-stitched because it had become impossible to clean properly. This was in their email response when I pushed back. "The courtesy adjustment of $1,516.40 was applied to the 3D scan, 1 hour of IV sedation, and the debridement of the lower right area. This was basically all at no charge." All of which I paid for on my intital visit. What was most concerning was that when I shared this experience with other dentists and mentioned his name, none of them seemed surprised

Steve talks about what he is doing and why, and his thinking process out loud while he is doing this in a way that is very reassuring. He is totally focused and in solution finding mode and while no one is excited to have procedures like drilling, his focus and enthusiasm about his work including doing things the best way possible made me feel I was with someone who really appreciates and loves their work. It shows. The office is quiet, clean-I want to speak to that because I see "office experience" listed. I was in the San Francisco office. I was not particularly focused on that, other than it was quiet, clean, no issues-- because I felt at ease, as relaxed as I have ever been when having cavities filled, and confident that this guy is like the Sherlock of teeth-he will keep looking and figuring out exactly what is needed, beyond the skills that you would want-creativity, focus and enthusiasm. I will definitely return.

I came here for a consultation on wisdom teeth removal. I was looking forward to speaking with the…read moresurgeon and asking them some questions as I was hesitant about the surgery. However, I found the surgeon to be very dismissive - they didn't greet me, they interrupted me every time I tried to speak or pose a question and they in general seemed to be in a hurry. The surgeon also tried to upsell me on a post surgery procedure that I did not need (I would later learn). Overall, I felt very uncomfortable with their bedside manner. Last, the office forgot to give me my X-ray that I had taken during my visit only to mail it to me several weeks later without paying for the postage. I ended up having to do so when my mailman made the delivery to my home. It was not a pleasant experience. Overall, I'm glad that I trusted my gut and did not pursue getting my wisdom teeth removal here after my experience. I went to another nearby surgeon and had a great experience and paid much less as well. I would encourage others, if they can, to seek a second opinion and then make your decision from there. I am glad I did.
