We had an absolutely wonderful experience with this oral surgeon Dr. Gilbert. He helped my husband with his dental issues and tooth extractions, and we could not have asked for better care. He was compassionate, confident, knowledgeable, and truly had an excellent bedside manner. He took the time to make my husband feel comfortable and cared for throughout the entire process. His staff was equally wonderful - professional, kind, welcoming, and attentive from beginning to end. We are incredibly grateful for the care my husband received and would highly recommend this oral surgeon to anyone needing oral surgery or any of his services. It is reassuring to know that there are still doctors who combine exceptional skill with genuine compassion. Five stars all the way! read more

Dr. Gilbert and his staff were so friendly. They made my daughter feel so comfortable with them. She also said the patient chair was very squishy and comfortable. She had four wisdom teeth out. They were very reasonable for price. They called the day after to also check in on her recovery. Highly recommend Dr. Gilbert. read more

I was referred to Dr. Gilbert because I was interested in removing a devitalized molar and getting a dental implant. The molar had been bothering me for years but I finally decided to do something about it. When I had my X-ray taken, Dr. Gilbert showed me that the molar and surrounding gum tissue were infected and that my body has been fighting an active infection! I had been feeling more run-down than usual this past year I thought that it could be this molar; I was relieved to discover that I was right. I immediately scheduled a surgery date for the extraction, bone graft, and ensuing dental implant. Dr. Gilbert told me that I would feel so much better after getting the molar removed. The day arrived and I had my molar removed as a well as the bone graft. Dr. Gilbert was right, I felt so much better immediately after surgery! I didn't bleed much and didn't have much swelling. Moreover, I barely had any pain and only had to take one Motrin the first day - which I took preemptively but I probably didn't need it. About a month ago, I went back for the dental implant procedure. The X-ray showed that my bone graft was adequate and I went right into surgery. After the second surgery, I was grateful to experience a similar result as the first surgery - very little bleeding, pain, or swelling. I just went in for my 4 week follow-up and my implant healed nicely, so nicely in fact that my gums healed over the implant! I have a bone-disease similar to osteoporosis and I'm very particular about who I choose to operate on me. Dr. Gilbert presented himself as professional, confident, and most importantly capable of meeting the challenge of performing a successful dental implant procedure on me. Thank you, Dr. Gilbert! And also thank you to all of the staff and dental assistants who are all very pleasant and respectful of their patient's time! read more

I rarely write reviews, but Dr. Gilbert is the best in the business. Definitely happy with the results that I have gotten from my surgery and I'm not even 100% healed yet. If you're looking to get double jaw surgery or any kind of jaw surgery for that matter I could not recommend a better surgeon. The scheduling was fast, the team is reliable, and you'll see results almost immediately. Here's are my results on beginning week 5 in comparison to day 1... read more

I was referred to Dr. Gilbert for wisdom teeth removal, him and his team made the process so calming and comfortable. Incredibly kind people and great work! read more

My daughter was a patient in June 2023 and my son (Dec 2025) just had his wisdom teeth removed by Dr Gilbert. I wouldn't take my children anywhere else. Both procedures were calm, comfortable and extremely smooth. It was both of their first times undergoing a medical procedure and set them up very well to trust and fully recover. Thanks to everyone at this medical office and especially Dr Gilbert for his professionalism and skills. read more

I rarely leave reviews, but I left this office feeling frustrated and honestly a bit taken advantage of. I scheduled a wisdom tooth consultation after being quoted $188 out-of-pocket (worst-case scenario) over the phone. Based on that information, I agreed to the appointment. When I arrived, they took an x-ray and explained my options. After that, I was informed that the total cost would actually be $2,400, which was completely different from what I had been told prior to scheduling. I explained that this was not what I was quoted and that I could not proceed under those terms. I was still charged $240 for the consultation and imaging. Later that day, the same staff member who gave me the $188 quote called to apologize and said she would speak with her manager about applying that payment toward the surgery. While I appreciate the follow-up, this experience left me feeling misled and disappointed. I'm sharing this so other patients know to get all estimates in writing before scheduling. Transparency in healthcare should be the standard, not the exception. read more

Dr Gilbert is very knowledgeable, caring and compassionate. He explained us the whole procedure for my son. His staff is very friendly and knowledgeable as well. I highly recommend him. read more

Dr. Gilbert and staff are true professionals. I went to them for a dental implant and was completely satisfied from the initial visit, then the surgical extract and post installation with Dr. Gilbert, to today's follow up procedure with Jesus - who is an asset to the Dr. I am 100% recommending Dr. Gilbert, Jesus & his entire staff! read more

In my pre and post op, if you look at my cheeks you will see they are much fuller. I weighed more at that time than I do now. I weighed 155 and now I'm 135-140 range. As I already mentioned, the angle of the pictures I have taken for this review is with my chin down. And pre and post is looking straight forward. Obviously this will make jaw appear differently. There's no reason or benefit to me or anyone else to be lying about my review. The dr did see me in my post op appointment and he did tell me what I am seeing is in my head. Why would I go back? If he isn't able to see what I am seeing? How can he fix a lipo he did if he can't see what I'm talking about? I gave more time to completely heal since I know it takes time for skin and fat to settle after lipo. No changes and now looking into a revision and ultimately decided to provide review of my experience with this office and Dr. I will not be going back to Dr Gilbert as he is not taking accountability of his work and instead undermining my review. Again not taking accountability who in their right mind would allow to be put under again by someone with this demeanor? Since the Dr is adamant about the pre-and postop pictures that he is unable to post here, I will post the pre and post op and then a picture of my jaw looking STRAIGHT FORWARD as of now so that it can be used in comparison. The picture I have taken myself is with natural lighting unlike the photos from his office that have poor lighting. However, again this is not an angle of my jaw where you can see the fat distribution of my uneven lipo and that is why I have posted photos of where you can see what I am referring to. This becomes very apparent in my day-to-day life because our heads do not remain straightforward as we talk and engage with others. I'm self-conscious about the ripple and one side of my face having more fat than the other. My intention of this review is to help others who are looking into this procedure since there were no examples that I could find before deciding to go with Dr. Gilbert. I used trust and his year experience with Maxillofacial surgery, clearing a learning experience. read more

Everyone in this office was great. From my first appointment everyone was professional, friendly and answered all my questions. It was easy to make an appointment. The office is clean and my procure went smoothly. read more

Incredibly happy with Dr Gilbert and his entire team. Both of my kids had their wisdom teeth removed at his office and had a great experience with the entire process. read more

Dr. Gilbert great. He took out all four of my bony impacted, painful wisdom teeth when I was a teenager, and the dissolving stitches healed up perfectly. I had no idea that this wasn't the norm until I told others about it, and heard a lot of wisdom tooth related horror stories lol. My dentist referred me to him and I'm grateful for it! read more

When everyone else turned me away, Dr Gilbert was there to assure me he could handle my situation...I only wish I had found him sooner. From the moment I met him, I could tell he was a brilliant man and a skilled surgeon. He listened and more importantly he gave me much thought...not every situation is the same, and no other Dr was willing to put the mental effort into what I needed. I am pain free for the first time in two and a half years, and I don't know who was happier about that-it might have been him! I'm not completely done, but I trust him wholly for the outcome, as I have through each phase, because he is upfront and honest and lets me know exactly what to expect. He's truly the best! And if that's not enough, he has surrounded himself with the most incredible staff...each is kind and courteous and many have become my friends. I'll have to find a reason to return when I'm through, because I really like everyone at Inland Institute enough to miss them all! read more

I don't think I can. I had one tooth implant years ago and the experience was fine. I knew very little about the nature of implants at the time. Fairly early I started having gum recession and bone loss and sensitivity. I attributed that to aging. As time went on there was inflammation and infection off and on. I did a little research and found that there is about a 10% failure rate, mostly due to screw displacement. Now I'm being told I may loose the tooth. Removal of an implant is quite extreme I've found. While doing a laser treatment in an effort to extend the tooth viability I was told the implant was put in at a slant, making it impossible to have a true fit with the crown. This creates a pocket that cannot be cleaned with typical oral hygiene....a 100% set up for infection and deterioration. Here is my issue; I don't understand how it was not seen in all the extras they took. As an aside the general dentist who placed the crown certainly could see it. I don't understand why no one apprised me of this faulty placement. read more

I would like to speak to anyone who is putting off dental issues because they have other health concerns and feel they are difficult patients. I am a difficult patient. Among other issues I have lymph edema and impossible veins. I put off seeing Dr Gilbert for 6 months till today and only regret I didn't come in 6 months ago. Dr Gilbert spent a long time with me going over all health concerns. Even offered a referral for my edema and looked at my skull xray because I mentioned an old fall - both issues nothing to do with why I was there. My veins were difficult but he did not give up and his staff surrounded me, making sure I was ok. I won't repeat all the other accolades from other reviews because they are all true. I wanted this note to be for the nervous, reluctant difficult patients out there. Go to Dr Gilbert asap. You will not be disappointed. read more

This is one of the most professional offices I have ever dealt with. I thoughht I was entering a regular dental office but instead it was a fully certified surgery center with a triple boarded physician, capable of doing reconstructive and surgical work as well as complicated dental work. And yet the staff and the doctor were humble and reassuring. I had the sense that they had all the time I needed for a procedure to be done well. They recommended light sedation. I awakened after what I thought was just a minute. Post op instructions were explained verbally and given to me in writing. They even give you a coupon for a smoothie to calm the swelling although I didnt have any. I had an appointment with another oral surgeon but he could not get to me for 10 days and I was in pain. This doctor's staff got permission to overbook me for the next day. Amazing difference. Dr. Gilbert is an exceedingly well trained surgeon. I would trust him with anything. Thank you! read more

This is the second time I've used him. The staff is very professional and thoughtful. I recommend him highly. I'm very happy with the work he did. Edward S. read more

Nice facility. Most of the staff is great, friendly, and knowledgeable. I was referred to this doctor by my general dentist for a dental implant. I had the procedure done along with the extraction of an old root canal and bone graph. The recovery was HORRIBLE!!! The procedure was also cost several thousand dollars. Prepare to spend a lot of $$$ at this facility. I came back several months for a check up. My dental implant ends up failing. Dr. Gilbert had to remove it. I experienced the worst pain when he was trying to pull it out. I went back for a final check up last week, doctor is still pushing that I try for another dental implant surgery. NO THANKS!!!! Dr. Gilbert was very pushy about it during the entire visit. read more

I got a very bad vibe at this place after my appointment and Now I know why with good reason. I wish I could give them zero stars. I have amazing PPO insurance double coverage and this place said I needed a 3D x tray (CT scan). They said it was not covered by my insurance. They told me they would bill my insurance for a Panoramic radiograph crest which was covered but that I would still have to pay $284.00 out of pocket . Since they said I needed to have this CT what was I to do!?!? It all went so fast I really didn't have time to think. I guess I should have left at that point. But we trust these "professionals" know what's best for us. And this place was a referral from my former dentist (which I was at for almost 20 years) But I really shouldn't have been charged at all . This was all very unethical to begin with. I am a person of integrity. After this experience I felt very apprehensive about going to another dentist I did my research and found BARSOUM Dental care. I saw them yesterday and They took me back to do a Pano X-ray and I told them that I wasn't sure if I could get another one since I had just had one a few weeks earlier. They said no worries they didn't charge for this !!! And on top of that took several more other X-rays. This confirmed my suspicion to begin with. The Shark/Used car sales man vibes were spot on. Do yourself a favor and spend time reviewing Yelp before making an appointment here. And try BARSOUM dental care. They are kind, respectful and sincere people. read more

I highly recommend this place Dr.Gilbert is very professional and he explained everything in detail about the procedure before and after it was done .he explained even the timing of the surgery and all went accordingly also the anesthesiologist and staff were very helpful , and explained every step of the process and were very patient and kind to my son that required extra help to understand what was going on .i was very happy with the care team and results also surprised that even the time they said the procedure was going to last it went exactly as planned also they were always contacting me to see if my son was okay during and after the procedure thank you Dr Gilbert and staff for giving my son a nice and friendly understanding environment it made a huge difference and great results .he was not traumatized in the contrary he is happy to see everyone after for after care ...so for those who have someone with extra challenges or special needs conditions I'll recommend this place ....or in general ...thank you read more

I'm here to say what a great experience I had with Dr. Gilbert, I had a back left side wisdom tooth removed, I was a little apprehensive about being put under anesthesia since I hadn't been since I was 11 years old and I'm 66 now. Dr. Gilbert put me completely at ease and was done in 1/2 an hour with no pain or swelling after, it's been 1 week since this procedure and I'm 100%. I would highly recommend him.

The best of the best! Thorough, organized, excellent staff, and most of all--compassionate care. My husband and I have been patients for years with all the trials and tribulations of aging/breaking teeth. I have been to Dr. Gilbert for extraction/implant surgeries. My husband, whose teeth are a real challenge, has had his implants installed in a jaw that required some real work-arounds. Dr. Gilbert can do it. He can solve the tough problems by creative thinking, and goes the extra mile to make sure that his patients are treated well. The staff is beyond wonderful and make us feel comfortable, always. Even the front desk is kind about all the required paperwork and patient with us. I recently had a real dental emergency (broken molar that was so painful). Dr. Gilbert moved heaven and earth to help me out and extract the tooth, even with a full schedule of patients. "You are in pain, Let's get you in as soon as possible." I nearly broken down in tears to think that someone would do that for me. The complete before and after care information (written, and in video) insures that all questions are answered. (The smoothie coupon after surgery is a great plus.) We have such gratitude to have found a place that cares so much about its patients! We challenge you to find any better place for oral surgery, because it just doesn't get any better. read more

We had the pleasure of having Dr. Gilbert help me through wisdom teeth removal and my 13-year-old daughter through her first ever (oral) surgery attaching chains to teeth that need to be pulled down in order to finish her orthodontic treatment.

I would like to give a shout out to Dr Gilbert and his staff. I recently had oral surgery for my dental implants. I was referred by my general dentist and I thanked him for directing me to this facility. From the first phone call that was answered by a sweet pleasant voice to giving me my insurance information and treatment plan, I felt at ease coming in to my appointment. I was not disappointed meeting the coordinator and then Dr Gilbert who addressed all my questions and concerns. The surgery day came and I was prepared, the surgery went well and the recovery was better than anticipated. I am waiting now for the next step and am excited to get the crown from my general dentist. Once again, a big shout out to Dr Gilbert and his team. The smoothy provided after surgery was an added bonus. Will definitely let my family and friends . read more

Dr. Gilbert is amongst the best of the best. His knowledge, technique and most importantly, his character sets him deservingly so at the top of his field. The procedure went seamlessly and I too with countless other patients am happy! Jesus, is a phenomenal asset to this group thoroughly explaining each step that's to take place. Whatever question I threw out, he knew! I appreciated his calm spirit. The Office Manager, Shauna is a hands on warm delight who makes you forget that you're there for surgery. lol Not only is the equipment and technology state of the art, but the business is run with extremely high quality. I highly recommend Dr. Gilbert and his team! Sabrina read more
