    I just started going here and I really enjoy the staff. That is important for a dentist. I would recommend.

    Dr. Abel is an excellent oral surgeon. He has a great reputation with both patients and dentists. I…read morehad a consultation with him about having some oral surgery done on my mouth. First, I must tell you that I looked at my appointment time and thought my appointment was at 11:00 am. After, I arrived, I found out my appointment was at 1:00 pm. Let me tell you how nice Dr. Abel was, he saw me at 11: 00. What a hero! Dr. Abel is funny and kind. He explained all of the ins and outs of the procedure. He also went over the different options I had to choose from. I had a panoramic mouth X-ray while I was there and his staff is top notch too. The office is bright and comfortable. It has all of the modern equipment needed to complete your surgery. I haven't had the surgery done yet, but I have every confidence that Dr. Abel is the surgeon to do it.

    I was always someone that was reluctant to get my wisdom teeth removed. Both of my parents still…read morehave theirs and despite my awareness of potential issues that could arise, I always felt like I should only get them removed if absolutely necessary. Well alas, the time arrived when these suckers needed to get evicted. While I've had sensations of gum tenderness from time to time over the years, it wasn't until last week when one shifted in such a way that made it difficult to eat or even open my mouth fully. Because I wasn't sure how quickly my condition could worsen, I hopped on Yelp to find a top rated oral surgeon (even if not within my insurance network.) Since my family is in Montgomery County and would be helping me with pick up and recooperation after surgery, I was also looking for somewhere not too far from them. After reading BCC Oral Surgery's reviews, I followed up with quick phone call where I peppered the receptionist with a ton of questions. Both times I called, the person that picked up phone was pleasant, patient and knowledgable. Plus, they had availability to perform the surgery the following week, where as the place my dentist referred was likely not to have an appointment for at least a month. So instead of giving myself too much time for me to build up my anxiety further, on Friday I booked for wisdom teeth removal surgery for that following Monday. The office sent me a new patient form to fill out online and was given instructions on how to best prep for my surgery in advance. On Monday morning, we gave ourselves plenty of time to get there with traffic and parking in mind. (There is a garage in the building but it fills up rather quickly.)Another bonus: There is a pharmacy in the building as well, so that is also something very helpful to know since that's where we ended up picking my prescriptions up from. Upon arriving, they had to take some additional x-rays since Dr. Patel was a bit concerned with how close one of my wisdom teeth was to a nerve. When he came in to meet with me, he was cool, calm, direct and explained to me any concerns and risks. He was confident without being arrogant or without bedside manner and quite frankly, his whole team also reflected that. The techs that took x-rays and administered the laughing gas were all so professional, sweet, funny and re-assuring. I was joking and laughing with them before the gas even hit me. Once I had a little laughing gas in my system, they then administered the general anesthesia and within seconds I was out like a light. ( I remember the doctor walking in and I said "What's up doc? Respectfully." Then I gave him he peace sign and I was a goner.) When I woke up, I was sitting comfortably in the recovery room. I had very little discomfort, aside from some grogginess and a mouth full of gauze. But I was very present and aware despite it all, and I believe from start to finish it all took between 45-60 minutes. After coordinating with my mom, they wheeled me down to where my mom would be pulling up with my car and I was on my way. Dr. Patel said that if I did feel pain, it would likely not be until later in the evening once the general anesthesia wore off, so I was ready to potentially experience some excruciating pain. But lucky for me, aside from swelling and some light bleeding the overall pain was minimal. I'm now 48 hours post surgery and I've been able to to keep any pain at bay with over the counter painkillers (and of course, prescribed antibiotics.) But aside from the swelling, this has been the most unexpectedly pleasant experience after getting four teeth pulled, two of which were impacted. Overall, I couldn't sing the praises of Dr. Patel and his team any further and am so glad that I found a total rockstar of a surgeon and team to make my wisdom teeth removal a top tier experience overall, with very minimal discomfort. Thanks again, BCC Oral Surgery!

    Dr. Tien is truly exceptional. From the very first consultation, he made me feel heard,…read morecomfortable, and completely confident in his expertise. His approach to Botox is incredibly precise and conservative--in the best way. The results are natural, refreshed, and never overdone. People constantly tell me I look well-rested and glowing, not "worked on." The entire office experience is just as impressive. The staff is warm, professional, and attentive from the moment you walk in. The office itself is clean, modern, and calming, which immediately puts you at ease. Appointments run on time, communication is clear, and every interaction feels thoughtful and patient-focused. What truly sets Dr. Tien apart is his surgical skill and attention to detail. He takes the time to explain every step, answers questions thoroughly, and genuinely cares about safety and long-term results. His hands are steady, his eye is artistic, and his expertise is obvious. If you're looking for a physician who combines top-tier medical skill, refined aesthetic judgment, and an outstanding office experience, Dr. Tien is unmatched. I wouldn't trust my face--or any surgical procedure--with anyone else.

In preparation for wisdom teeth surgery, the clinical staff did not explain anything that was happening to my 23 year old daughter. This made her very anxious which delayed the procedure because she needed to calm down before anesthesia. She walked away with a bloody mouth full of gauze, 1 tiny ice pack and 1 measly extra gauze pad. For such a nice place and a routine procedure, one would think we'd be satisfied, happy customers. But it was strange, from beginning to end

    The reason for the 1 star is due to their billing department. Went in approximately 4 weeks prior…read moreto the actual wisdom teeth removal surgery for the consultation. After the confrontation, we went over the billing to my insurance and the lady said this is all the doctor will do and this is what your insurance will pay. Stupid of me to believe a person is able to do their job but she explicitly left out big charges such as removal of a tooth, consultation charges and other miscellaneous charges. My interesting is that it cannot be this colossal of a mistake and she purposely did this to show me lower charge. After completing the surgery they bill me and guess what, they added major items, like removal of the tooth they were supposed to get out along other items. On top of that, i called the billing department and the lady lied to my face saying this was all billed to the insurance during the consultation and she will send me the proof. What she sent me is proving they did not send the full charges to the insurance. There's a bunch of good doctors out there and this one is not worth it just because of their incompetent billing department in the arlington office.

    I dread all things dentist-related, so much so that I've been putting off getting my wisdoms…read moreextracted for 15 years. They weren't causing problems, but they sure weren't helping, either. My dentist referred me to Dr Corcoran to have them removed, so I called and made an appointment for consultation. I was able to get in the same week, and the receptionist patiently explained all the location and time options I had. I was nervous about my consultation. I had never had any kind of surgery in my life, and I didn't know how much damage my wisdoms were in for. Dr Corcoran came in, and assuming he's met many nervous patients, he immediately calmed my nerves with a few awesome dentist jokes. He showed me the X-ray, explained everything that would be done, and I left feeling great about it. I got on board, and scheduled the real appointment for a couple weeks later. Fast forward to today; I had all four wisdom teeth removed, 1 of which was impacted, the rest simple extractions. I got the works with the laughing gas and the general anesthesia, and when I woke up an hour later, huzzah...no wisdom teeth. Surprisingly, I am in no pain despite having taken only 2 Advil right after the surgery. The numbness has gone away, and I have some swelling on the impacted side, but no pain. Huh. Dr Corcoran even called me at 9pm to see how I was doing. He noted that I sounded awfully chipper, and expressed that I should continue to take care of my wounds, even with no pain. How incredibly thoughtful of the guy to call me long after the workday is over, to make sure I wasn't dying or allergic to the antibiotics. My husband said that right after surgery I told him, "Gosh I feel great, I wish I felt this way all the time!" I think that means Dr Corcoran is doing something exactly right.

    Late last year I had a terrible cavity in one of my wisdom teeth. The dentist looked at the x-ray…read moreand immediately declared it unsalvageable and beyond his skill to extract. I needed a dental surgeon and a talented one at that. My dentist did what he could to alleviate the pain, drilling out the cavity, but I knew this would end up being an ordeal. Apparently, once you get over 40, wisdom teeth tend to affix themselves to your jawbone and the nerves become a complex bird nest. Simply pulling them out is impossible and they require surgery. After searching online, I landed on Pashapour Oral and Facial surgery. However, I was a bit concerned as the reviews vary wildly. I selected them over the alternatives, and I was incredibly pleased with the results. Dr. Pashapour is a surgeon with skills. I can happily state that he got all four of my wisdom teeth out in a single sitting. I have zero nerve damage, and I healed incredibly quickly. After seeing my x-ray and the cat scan, both performed in his office the day of the surgery, he told me the only way we could successfully get these out was under general anesthesia. It made me nervous to do so, especially considering this was not to be done in a hospital, but in his office. Still, I took his advice, and it was the way to go. I have zero memory of the 2-hours I was under, and it seemed to be an instant from my perspective. Dr. Pashapour had to pull some of my blood while I was under to aid in the filling of the gaps that would be left behind, which he explained to me beforehand. He even performed another cat scan afterwards to ensure zero nerve damage took place during the surgery. Despite all my anxiety, between Dr. Pashapour and his nursing staff, they put me at ease and got me through it. I am now two months post-surgery and it's as if I never had a problem. I made the correct decision, and I would highly recommend this service to anyone, whether they are wishing to front-run a problem like mine, or if they are already in complete agony with an irreparable tooth keeping them awake, night after night, and popping Advil just to get a modicum of relief. I do see some small things they could have done to improve the experience. The front office was able to get me in quickly, which was amazing. This did wonders to reduce my anxiety and limit the duration of my pain. What they could have done better is set my expectations more accurately once I was in the waiting room. My appointment was for 9am but I waited well over an hour because Dr. Pashapour was busy at the hospital due to an emergency, tending to someone with far bigger problems than I had. The front desk should have told me he would be delayed, he's performing an emergency surgery at a hospital, and it's possible I could be in for well over an hour's wait. I understand emergencies, setting that expectation would have led to a better experience. Timing at Pashapour isn't amazing, but the work he does is worth the wait. The second issue I had was with billing. I have superior insurance, and they were opting to not use all my resources. The bill was $3000 and my insurance could cover up to $1500. They intended to leave some money on the table and charge me a bit more out of pocket. Honestly, I don't remember much of this, my fiancée was there to ask questions, and I was nervously waiting for surgery while in pain and not focused on the exact dollar amount. Let me be clear, the price, in my opinion, for a 2-hour surgery, with all the bells and whistles, including 2 cat scans, an x-ray, bloodwork, anesthesia, the expert hands of Dr. Pashapour and the kind assistance of the nursing staff was an incredible deal. Frankly, I would have paid more, I'm so happy with the result. Just use all my insurance. They explained I might need to money later, as it was only August and this was the entirety of my insurance money for the year. I don't care. I'll deal with later when it's later. Also, concerning the price, be clear, I had a complex case. I have no idea what he'd charge a 17-year-old whose wisdom teeth he could simple pop out in 10-minutes after a few shots of Novocaine and not put them under. They also wanted to sell me some pain management injection for a couple hundred bucks. My fiancée vetoed this for me because we were going to leave with a script for some serious pain meds, so I didn't get it. The work of Dr. Pashapour was so good, honestly, I didn't need it. Frankly, I took zero of the heavy-duty pain meds as well. A couple 800mg Ibuprofens which he also prescribed were more than enough. I attribute this to the excellent work despite my complex case. So, go to Dr. Pashapour. Don't be dismayed by wait times. Tell them to use all your insurance money possible. I was literally back at my desk the next day working. Two weeks later, the only way I could tell anything had been done to my teeth was the fact that I had 4 fewer of them. I made the right choice and I'm writing this review so you can do the same.

The tissue guard placed on the post was rubbing my tongue and causing pain. I asked Dr. Williams to sand it down as the guard was sharp and ragged. I expect that because I still had Novocain in my system I could not fully feel the guard. The attempt to smooth the guard had failed. By Friday afternoon, my tongue was bleeding from the sharp and ragged edge of the guard. Luckily orthodontic wax partially solved the issue. My follow up visit was Wednesday morning. I show up 5 minutes before my appointment time of 9am. At 9:30 am I ask the front desk if I had my appointment time correct. I am then told that the doctor is running and MAY ARRIVE BY 10AM. By that time I would have been sitting there for over an hour. I had other appointments to meet, including one at 10am. You doctors and dentists are not gods. Your patients have a life and a job as well. You cannot allow someone to walk in ON TIME for an appointment and NOT TELL THEM the appointment cannot be met for at least another hour. I was not guaranteed 10am. I was told maybe 10am. This is not acceptable behavior. Now I have wait even longer to have the tissue guard repaired with my tongue continuing to be scratched over and over again.
