    Doctor Golding removed all 4 of my wisdom teeth last Friday! The consultation and the operation…read morewere both very quick and timely and every member of the staff was super friendly. Special shout out to Rachel, who is perhaps the sweetest healthcare worker I have ever encountered. I was visibly nervous when I went back about being put under and Rachel talked me through and really put my nerves at ease. I am so grateful that she was there. If I may offer a word of advice, looking back I wish I had been told more about what to expect in terms of appearances at the extraction site. I was quite alarmed when I first looked at one of the holes and have been relying on the past experiences of family and friends to judge if I should be concerned. I have called the office a couple times too and they have been happy to answer my questions which I greatly appreciate! Thanks again to the fantastic staff :)

My visit lasted approximately five minutes, and I was told the issue was TMJ -- which was completely unrelated to the reason I was there. There was minimal examination and no meaningful discussion of the actual concern that prompted my referral. The following day, I sought a second opinion from another oral surgeon, who was surprised that my condition had not been properly evaluated or treated. The difference in thoroughness and concern between the two appointments was significant. I then attempted to resolve the billing issue directly with the office. For nearly two months, I repeatedly reached out to billing and was told the person in charge was on leave. After finally getting in contact with her, she was extremely rude and stated the charges were non-negotiable, insisting that Dr. Golding did everything "appropriately." When I explained my concerns and the circumstances, I was told I would be sent to collections -- which ultimately happened. I was sent to collections for over $750 for this brief consultation that did not adequately address the medical concern I was referred for. Being sent to collections under these circumstances is incredibly disappointing and stressful. Patients deserve to feel heard, thoroughly evaluated, and treated with professionalism -- both medically and administratively. I cannot recommend this office based on my experience.

    I wanted this to be my new dentist and was extremely disappointed…read more I switched from an ppo plus to my new wife's insurance to consolidate costs. I explained this on my first call in to Brittany at the front desk. I then found out I have to wait a month due to office policy to see them. I then get a call 1 day before my appointment that I was not setup yet. I explained again I don't understand hmo well and they stated I needed to call my insurance. Then waited a month to find out the day off still not moved and then I put them and insurance on a 3 way call. I was already setup but they didn't have me on the registration list. The insurance company explained this was the office not them. This was my first red flag. I am excited a few months in to get a cleaning finally I thought. Nope, I get 1.5 hours of xrays and scans. They state I have no cavities but my gums are having issues and need my root canal tooth rescanded and need a deep cleaning (even though i had a cleaning 4 months ago and 12 years no cavities). I have a 2 week trip to Netherlands coming and explained this but go to get the recommended scan of my tooth that cost me 200$ out of pocket and no cleaning still. This is the last I speak to a human and next six times I call in I get a text message back and will attach the screenshot of some of it. Over and over told I will get a call back due to questions about the cleaning and future work. I am in shock after trying to talk to a human for 3 weeks they only call me on time after I told them I was going to travel at 3 am local time there to leave a voicemail. I then called back that day 3 times and never got through. Then called and texted when I got home for 3 days in a row. This is a ton of calling and texts about something I explained I have anxiety about to get no response. I travel alot for work and don't have time for an office that can't make me a priority. I now have to start over next month with new dentist after my next trip. Ps I know they have a service that will respond to this message with "sorry for your experience and we apologize for the inconvenience " just like they did when I was calling over and over ro get help.

    I just wanted to share the great experience we had with Dr. Nelson and his sweet assistants…read moreMarcela and Denyse. My 17 year old had her wisdom teeth removed and I was anxious about it. The way everyone cared for us like we were family will not be forgotten. Dr. Nelson was vigilant and caring, what more could you ask for in a surgeon?! The assistants were so professional and engaged, Stellar had a great time with them. His wife Allison was a Godsend to a mother. To see your child sedated can be emotional but her gentle nature and kind words put me at ease. Thank you to the entire staff at AOMS.

    DR NELSON IS A GODSEND!!!!…read more Before hearing about, and being referred to Dr. Nelson, I had unfortunately experienced oral surgery from another surgeon who turned out to be negligent and was responsible for weeks of severe unnecessary pain. That doctor had extracted a tooth, put in a bone graph and placed a membrane due to a small perforation in my sinus cavity. With that other doctor, I was scheduled for one follow up visit but the intense pain I was experiencing necessitated 4 return visits within 2 weeks. I felt strongly that I had developed an infection from the procedure and requested an antibiotic. She refused, claiming there was no infection. She took no tests or CT scan to rule out an infection. Instead she was rude, dismissive and acted like I was making up the level of pain I was experiencing. After a month of her completely inappropriate behavior as my pain increased, I went to Dr. Nelson (referred by my dentist) to get a second opinion. Dr. Nelson saw me immediately and took a 3D scan which evidenced that my whole left sinus cavity was filled with infection. The smell of sulfur was overwhelming, the pain in my head and face was at a level 8-9 at all times. Dr. Nelson put me on an antibiotic and performed surgery 2 days later to check for contamination in the bone graft and clear the infection. Immediately following his procedure I was so pleased!! I had no more sulfur smell and the pain I had been dealing with for weeks had dissipated only leaving minor sensitivity from the new surgery. Reluctantly, I had to give Dr Nelson a call on a Saturday at 4pm because I was feeling a burning sensation in my mouth, which I believed was due to the strong antibiotic. He answered his phone right away, he was so kind and compassionate and he called me in a prescription to help with my burning mouth that had nothing to do with the surgery. He was so communicative that one pharmacy was closed and he took the time to call me and ask which other pharmacy I preferred. My mouth settled down immediately. On Monday, I called his office to see if I could move my followup appointment to be seen by him sooner than Wednesday. I spoke to his office staff and even though he wasn't in until Wednesday, his office staff were so pleasant and helpful. Literally a minute after hanging up with his office, Dr Nelson called me right back. He was with his family driving to Joshua tree and couldn't have been more kind, compassionate and I told him there was no problem and i would see him on Wednesday. In closing, I just finished both of my followups with Dr Nelson today. His staff is wonderful and caring. I'll be seeing him again in June to finish the work started by the other surgeon. I am hopeful that I dont need any more dental work done as far as implants, however if I do, Dr. Nelson will be the first and only doctor I would call. I couldn't recommend him more highly, a true professional and gentleman. Thank you so much Dr. Nelson! Penny

For a tooth extraction, bone graft, and a silver filling exchange. It was a lot of "this is what your insurance covers, this is your copay " after procedures it was a lot of "actually your insurance did not cover it and this is what you owe" I took my business elsewhere after I kept paying for things that did not add up. The last time I receive dental services was 11/2024, Fast forwarded to April 2026 I get a call from healing dentistry in 2026 (17 MONTHS LATER) and a voice message saying I have a balance and if I don't pay in 2 weeks, it will go to collections. Healing dentistry has NOT sent me itemized bill or final notices via mail or email. One charge to my insurance was for cancer oral screening, which by the way should come standard during a cleaning, which my current dentist by the way does. My mental health and credit score is greater than $200.

    My first complain with Healing Dentistry is that they changed the agreed upon price a number of…read moretimes. This has happened while the work was being done and afterward. Last year my Insurance covered $4500. Healing Dentistry printed out a list of every procedure and the cost. My out of pocket amounted to $1400. Everything was approved by my insurance and the work was scheduled. The day of my appointment I was told that I needed to pay $92. The office manager told me to disregard that, that the list she had given me was the correct list and price. I paid the $1400 and received a invoice with the $92 amount crossed out and $0 Balance written in. The work proceeded. About a month later I received a text, informing me that I had a $92 balance. I reminded them that this issue had already been reloved and I explained that I have an invoice that states $0 balance and documents from my insurance stating that they approved and covered everything submitted to them. Healing Dentistry responded, "Thank you for reminding us." I believed that this issue had been settled. A few weeks ago I went in for teeth cleaning. When I made the appointment, 6 months prior, I asked twice what the cost would be. I was told $125, because I have insurance. I scheduled it on my calender along with the price. After my cleaning, Dr. Mitic said I owed over $400. I let her know that I was told $125. She told me that it was $250 for the cleaning. I showed her my calender. She also told me that I owed $92 for a crown that my insurance didn't completely cover. I did't realize that she was trying to charge me money for work that had already been completely paid for. I paid her $217. Later, when I went through my text messages with Healing Dentistry, I found the text from last year that had already settled that issue. I texted her, forwarded those messages and asked her to refund the $92 to my account. That was over two weeks ago and I still have yet to receive her response. I had to go to my bank to dispute the charge. It has taken me hours of time, submitting documents, on the phone, and emailing. I am on Social Security, on a fixed income. That is why I need to know the cost beforehand so I can make sure I can afford it. My second complain is the quality of their work: I first went in for teeth cleaning and whitening. They disregarded the cleaning, saying, "we'll do that later." That made no sense to me that I'm paying $400 out-of- pocket to have my teeth whitened and they wouldn't first scrape off the plaque build up to make it more effective. They said they would do it before the other work. They didn't. I had 3 bridges and a crown done. I then asked about the cleaning. They said it had been done. I told them it hadn't and had to convince them of that fact. I no longer will recommend Healing Dentistry. Dr. Mitic teaches dentistry and recruits her students to work at Healing Dentistry. I think that that is a good thing, giving them oppotunity.

Though the ownership has changed, the level of care has not, and may have improved. For instance, they recommended I get a retainer to prevent issues down the road. I travel here from 30 miles away just to get a cleaning, as I used to live next door. They seem to be cutting edge on their technology, and the doctor is friendly. The only issue I wish they would improve is parking communication. I always have trouble finding a spot and don't know where their deck is to park at, and by the time I'm leaving it's too late. The front desk staff is friendly and nice and I've never had an issue with billing. My wife has been to different dentists that wanted to bill for phantom cavities but this place has never done that to me. They are honest and good.
