A car wreck as a dumb teenager resulted in resorption and bone loss years later that made my case particularly challenging. The extractions, bone graft, and final implant placement has set me up for a nice set of new chompers (without periodontal issues).

I am sort of a high maintenance patient and I had a lot of requests and anxiety but he was patient with me, and so was his staff, and they dealt with all my issues. I really appreciated that. My 17-year-old daughter also got her wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Smith, and once again everything went perfectly. I also got all my billing questions and needs addressed by the staff. There's actually one thing I want to mention that really sets Dr. Smith above the rest, his honesty. I had come with another quote from a different oral surgeon who wanted to charge me for every tooth that needed PRP. Dr. Smith was kind enough to give me a very fair flat rate for all three teeth. That was very honest and a good business practice and I appreciated that. Dental work and especially oral surgery is already so expensive but you can trust him and his staff.

Recently my husband had a dental emergency that required emergency treatment. We did not have a…read moredentist yet, were in search of one and found one close to us that was able to see my husband right away (Pristine Dentistry, Dr. Ashley & Benjamin Koppel DDS). They referred my husband to oral surgeon Dr. Shafqat DDS. Dr. Shafqat's office was able to get my husband in right away. Dr. Shafqat was extremely thorough in his findings and recommended treatment my husband needed. I was able to sit in with my husband while he explained everything and plan for treatment. There was pretty significant infection in my husbands left side of face that required Dr. Shafqat to put in a drain to allow for the infection to drain out and antibiotics to get him out of the emergent situation first before he could move forward with the additional treatment needed. The procedure was very quick and we were on our way in no time. Dr. Shafqat called to check on my husband that evening on his way home from the office after his long day of seeing patients. He wanted to ensure my husband was doing well. We were very impressed by this act of kindness from the doctor. Once infection was treated, my husband went in for first part of his treatment. As with the first time we came to his office, was a wonderful experience, from the time we were greeted by the front desk to his post op recovery support staff. Dr. Shafqat again called my husband the next morning to make sure things were progressing along and he was doing well and to answer any questions he might have. We were both amazed at the level of care my husband received. He didn't have one of his staff call to check on my husband, he took the time to call and check on him personally. Not only did we find an amazing dental office but now oral surgeon. My husband and I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Shafqat DDS for your oral surgery needs. Can't say enough of how please we are with his services. Thank you Dr. Shafqat for taking such amazing care of my husband. We are truly grateful and blessed!

That being said, this was the best dentist I have ever been to. It's across the board. Everyone, from front desk staff to my hygienist to the dentist himself was so kind. They explained the processes to me, always asking if I had questions. They did not chastise me or make me feel bad for the poor quality of my teeth. They were friendly, genuinely helpful, and personable. The office itself was the nicest dentist I've EVER been to (and my last dentist was in Beverly Hills). It's clean, modern, and a gorgeous space. It's not sterile or showing any signs of age. The space was so welcoming that it quelled many anxieties off the bat. Overall, I can't recommend this dentist enough. Even the payment portion was anxiety-free (that's a first!) as the front-desk explained to me the best approach, scheduling, and financing. Thank you, Oceanside Dental Arts!

I will never forget Brian Mudd…read more So, this is like 13 years late... but years ago, Dr Mudd extracted 6 teeth from me. He removed my wisdom teeth, and two broken molars. I was supposed to get bone grafts to later get implants. I'm super scared of dentists, so they put me under - which was awesome! Unfortunately, the beginning of the nightmare was waking up in the middle of surgery... anyway, once I woke up in recovery, Dr Mudd came in and said that I had the hardest jaw he's ever worked with and told me that they didn't do the grafts because of some complications. Okay, I guess... A week went by and I was in a TON of pain... I called the office and to see if it was normal to still be bleeding and also because my tongue, mouth, lips, were all numb! They said it was normal and keep up care; so I did. Another week or so went by, bleeding stopped and as I was eating lunch, I felt a scratch in my throat. When I coughed, I coughed up a broken piece of DENTAL BURR (later confirmed by a different dentist) that had been lodged in my throat! It looked like a tiny conical drill bit. At this point, I went to another surgeon for a second opinion. They conducted 360° x rays, and showed me that Dr Mudd actually broke my jaw and that the interior side of my mandible had sheered in two and was pinching my nerve... they also showed me that there were dozens of bone shards that were about to push their way through my gums (which they did)! Over the course of the next month, my new surgeon helped me extract the bone fragments and kept an eye on my healing... In the meantime, I was trying to build a case for malpractice, but every lawyer I spoke to told me that Dr Mudd is often used as an expert witness and they would only take my case if I could pay out of pocket because I would likely lose... one lawyer advised me to not speak to the Dr because he said they would likely build a case against me and I would "definitely lose"... as a broke 20-something, I kept on trying to find help, and eventually gave up because I didn't have the money that they told me it would cost to do anything... the one lawyer that actually said he could win was weirdly the lawyer from the band "Rancid"; he's a friend of a friend and said it was "negligence per se", BUT he was too busy and couldn't take my case... after that I was utterly defeated. Like I said, it's been about a decade since then and most of my pain has resolved, but my nerve is still damaged and my lip from about center to the right corner of my mouth is actually HYPER sensitive and always feels like it's asleep. I'm really only writing this in hopes that he sees it, and also because I just had an awesome dental experience and it reminded me of how horrible my last one was... Moral of the story...? I don't know... don't be a broke kid? Research your surgeon?
