As a dentist, I have referred many patients to Dr. Daniel Hsu over the years, so when I needed an…read moreextraction and implant myself, there was never any question who I would choose. Even with my professional background, I am an anxious dental patient when I'm the one sitting in the chair. What I have always appreciated about Dr. Hsu is his ability to put patients at ease. He takes the time to explain procedures clearly, answers questions thoughtfully, and never makes anyone feel rushed. That same calm and reassuring approach made a real difference to me as a patient. My extraction and implant placement went smoothly, and the recovery was far easier than I expected, with minimal discomfort. The result was excellent. What impresses me most about Dr. Hsu is not only his surgical skill, but also his genuine care for his patients and his attention to detail. His entire team reflects those same qualities--professional, efficient, and truly committed to providing outstanding care. As a referring dentist, recommending Dr. Hsu to my patients has always been an easy decision. After experiencing his care firsthand, my confidence in him is even greater. Quite simply, he is the finest oral surgeon I have had the privilege of working with, and I admire him greatly. -- Dr. Y

Coming here isn't fun but Dr Nguyen is so gentle and kind…read more His assistant Nicole is literally the most wonderful and compassionate human ever!! She deserves her own 5 star review for being so cheerful and kind. She's a WINNER and makes any dental procedure so much easier and less stressful!! Bf had some extensive dental work done somewhere else and needed an oral surgeon to assess the bleeding. Dr Nguyen was luckily available yesterday to come to the rescue! We came back this morning so he could remove the packing and used collagen tape instead of stitches! What an amazing dentist he is and I would never go anywhere else even though it's a schlep!! A++

We removed all 4 in one go and the swelling has been very minimal and to my surprise I've experienced little to no pain.

From the moment I walked into Honest Oral Surgeon, the staff made me feel at ease. They were professional, friendly, and very patient. After taking my X-rays, they carefully explained everything to me and answered all my questions. I also watched a pre-procedure instruction video, which helped me understand what to expect. When I met Dr. Kim, he was professional, clear, and straightforward. He explained my treatment options concisely and also pointed out potential risks related to my other teeth. After discussing everything together, we decided to take a conservative approach -- remove the wisdom teeth first and monitor the other teeth to see if they could recover over time. I really appreciated being involved in the decision-making process. The surgery itself was excellent. It was my first time receiving anesthesia and having teeth extracted, and I can honestly say I felt absolutely no discomfort. Dr. Kim removed both wisdom teeth efficiently and skillfully. (Yes, I could hear the drill and some hammering sounds -- which was a little funny -- but I felt zero pain.) After the procedure, I followed the instructions carefully, took the prescribed medication, and applied ice as recommended. It's now the second day, and I have no pain at all -- not even noticeable swelling. This is actually the longest Yelp review I've ever written, but I truly felt it was deserved. I highly recommend Honest Oral Surgeon and Dr. Kim to anyone who needs oral surgery.

His staff is very professional and wonderful. I had the honor of having the doctor clean my teeth yesterday. As he worked, he told me what he was doing and how did my teeth and gums look.. I really believe that dental health is so important to overall health and living a long and healthy life. I insist on cleaning every four months. My gums are so important to me and my health. I had to wait six to eight months to get in to see Dr. Yu, but it was worth it. My past dentists tried to upsell me or tell me I needed unnecessary work, but that will not happen here. I highly recommend Dr. Yu.

Overall: Dr. Yang is patient, and it's clear that he's concerned with his patient's well-being…read more Plus he has some serious skills. During the consultation, Dr. Yang was super patient with answering all the questions that my parents and I had, and he wasn't annoyed in the slightest by our indecision. In fact, he never pushed for me to remove all four wisdom teeth, and he reminded us that it was our decision. In the end, I decided to remove all four wisdom teeth. I was afraid of the pain because of all the horror stories that I have heard. HOWEVER, I had no pain at all, and I didn't need any of the pain medication that Dr. Yang prescribed, not even the ibuprofen. Plus, I was in and out under thirty minutes. My parents told me that they were shocked by how quickly Dr. Yang finished the extraction. After the removal, he gave my parents his phone number so that we could call or text him if we had any questions. When something came up late at night, my dad sent him a text. We honestly didn't expect an answer until the next morning since it was near midnight, but he answered almost immediately.

At the time I was a medi-cal patient and he was extremely nice to me so I don't believe any reviews that say otherwise about him. During my procedure I was given a blanket during anesthesia and was extremely comfortable. They did gas and an iv and when I woke up I was done. They wheel chaired me out to my car and gave me post op instructions. Dr. Yang also gives you his personal number which you can text or call anytime if you need help after the surgery. I had my wisdom teeth removed (at 25 years old) by him last year and had lost feeling in the lower quadrant of my jaw because of the way the tooth roots grew into my nerve. He told me not to worry and though sometimes patients don't regain feeling most will after a year or two. He also said he would see me however many times I wanted him to at no cost to me until I felt comfortable. This made me feel he was very confident he'd done the procedure well and cared for my long term well being. I did about 2 or 3 follow ups and he saw me every time. I have now gained all feeling back in my jaw and am so grateful to have found Dr. Yang.

I honestly cannot recommend Dr. Kalantari and the entire team highly enough! As someone who is…read moregenuinely terrified of the dentist, I was extremely anxious about having oral surgery. From the very first interaction, everyone at the practice was incredibly kind, friendly, empathetic, and reassuring. They made me feel comfortable and never once made me feel embarrassed about my fear. I opted for the sedation option for my surgery, and it turned out to be an absolutely amazing experience. Everything was explained clearly, the entire team was attentive and caring, and I felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the process. Dr. Kalantari is incredibly knowledgeable, highly skilled, and has such a great sense of humor. His ability to combine professionalism and expertise with a warm, funny personality made a huge difference for me. For anyone who is nervous or fearful of dental procedures, I especially recommend this practice. They truly understand how to take care of their patients and make what could be a very stressful experience feel easy. Thank you to Dr. Kalantari and the entire team for such outstanding care! I'm so grateful I chose this practice. They recently moved location to Pacifica in Irvine

I booked a consultation and was in within a week of calling. The girls in the front desk are sooooo nice. They answer all questions very politely and not condescending at all. Sometimes at medical offices, it's intimidating to ask questions but this team made me feel so comfortable from the start. Now come the day of the surgery, I was nervous as I was being put under. I explained that to the team but they made me feel very secure and that hey would do anything in their power to make sure I would be fine. I woke up from anesthesia and was not in as much pain as I thought I would be. I didn't bruise and I only got a little swollen. This team and Dr K. Really did a great job. Going back in a week for them to check that everything good but I am already back to normal 6 days later. Would definitely recommend this office!!!

Thank you!

From start to finish, the process took about two years and two months, which was so much faster than he initially projected. That came down to how creative he is. We had actual back-and-forth conversations about different ways to get there, his suggestions, and how we could shave time off without compromising the result. He would show me visual previews of the entire progression. If we went one route, here's what it would look like and how long it would take. If we went another route, here's what would change. I could actually see the options, understand his recommendations, and help pick the direction. He kept me involved throughout the whole process. It was literally a one-of-one experience. And the entire staff is out of this world. These guys truly live up to the name Family Orthodontics. It feels like one giant family, and I cannot say enough great things about them. I was so happy with my experience that I recommended my brother. He got braces with Dr. Dean too, and he's having the same amazing experience. Look at the before-and-after pictures. That transformation means so much to me. I'm beyond grateful, and they have my highest recommendation. Thank you, Dr. Dean. You're epic.

When our 20-year-old daughter was away at college, she was involved in a devastating accident that…read morebroke her jaw. Her jaw was wired shut for weeks, and when it was finally unwired, we learned she would need six teeth extracted and extensive treatment, including bone grafts, sinus lifts, and six dental implants. Dr. Salib came highly recommended, and from the moment we met him, we knew we were in the best of hands. He immediately took charge of our daughter's case and made it a priority to see her as soon as possible. While other doctors recommended keeping her jaw wired shut for a longer period, Dr. Salib was the first to look beyond the injury and see the whole person. He understood the significant physical and emotional toll that remaining in that condition would have on a 20-year-old who had already endured so much. He felt it was not fair to prolong her recovery unnecessarily and, after carefully evaluating her, determined she was ready to move forward with treatment. His compassion, sound judgment, and willingness to advocate for what was best for our daughter made all the difference. Throughout this incredibly difficult journey, Dr. Salib treated our entire family with compassion, professionalism, and genuine kindness. Our daughter needed that level of care, but as her parents, so did we. He patiently explained every procedure, answered every question, and ensured we fully understood each step of the treatment plan. His expertise, confidence, and use of advanced technology gave us tremendous peace of mind. What impressed us even more was how far above and beyond he went. Since our daughter attends college in another state, Dr. Salib personally connected us with a trusted oral surgeon there and worked seamlessly with that doctor and our family dentist to coordinate her care. He also gave our daughter his personal cell phone number and encouraged her to call anytime with questions or concerns. That level of dedication is something you rarely find. Dr. Salib is not only brilliant in his field, but also one of the most caring physicians we have ever met. His staff is equally kind, supportive, and professional, making every visit a positive experience. Our family will be forever grateful for everything Dr. Salib has done for our daughter. Without hesitation, I give him my highest recommendation. If you are looking for an oral surgeon with extraordinary skill, compassion, and integrity, Dr. Salib is simply the best.

My daughter had 4 impacted wisdom teeth extracted by Dr. Youn Sagong. We were extremely nervous…read moresince she had never had a procedure done before and of course I had seen all the horror stories on TikTok (swollen faces, dry socket, difficult recoveries, etc.) Dr. Sagong was very thorough during the consult, explained everything clearly, and really put us at ease. We felt so comfortable that we decided to do the procedure the same day. He also offered PRF plasma treatment to help support healing after the extraction. Although it wasn't covered by insurance, we decided it was worth trying and I truly believe it helped minimize the swelling and improved healing. The procedure which was done under general anesthesia only took about 35 minutes! The first few days afterwards were tough with icing, pain meds, and a liquid diet but my daughter had no swelling and healed perfectly. Very grateful for such a smooth experience. Highly recommend Dr. Youn Sagong and his team!

No bone graft was necessary and he was great at explaining and giving us options! I love that.

First off, office staff is great (why I gave +1 star). I had my first consultation and the Oral…read moresurgeon made me wait 40 minutes after my appt start time to see me. I could hear him in the next room chit chatting. When he finally saw me he said I needed a CT scan to determine how close the nerves were to my lower wisdom teeth. He kept saying I waited too long to get my teeth pulled (I have serious surgery anxiety) and I don't have a time machine to go back in time to get my teeth pulled. In any case, I had time to take the additional scans but I wouldn't have time to wait for him to make his rounds again. He said he would review the scans to determine the risk level, make a recommendation and give me a call. I didn't have to schedule the surgery date as the front office had already scheduled my surgery appt when I scheduled the consultation. Fast forward about 4 days and it's the day of the surgery. There was a mix up with the anti anxiety medication that was prescribed caused by the office / CVS and after multiple phone calls, I had to forego the prescription and head to the office for surgery. When I checked in, I stated he never called me about whether I would be getting 2 or 4 impacted wisdom teeth pulled. They assured me that he would discuss it with me. They take me back to the room and the dental assistant does her best to calm my nerves. She was really sweet. After 20+ min, the oral surgeon enters the room and I ask whether he made a decision as to whether it was too risky, he stated again that was why I shouldn't have waited so many years to get my teeth pulled. Then he said I made the appt to get all 4 teeth pulled. I panicked. I let him know my surgery was scheduled before I even had my consultation. I asked him for his recommendation. He said there was risk either way. Under extreme anxiety and no time to think it out, I made the decision to go with all 4. I knew I'd never have the nerve to go through this again. He administered the anesthesia himself and I was knocked out. Why did I have to pay additional $$ to get CT scans that weren't even used? The surgery went seemingly okay. I was sent home with multiple pages of instructions (that happened to contradict each other) but was able to call the office for follow up questions. After the shots wore off, I had no feeling in my lower gums, lower lip and chin. My first follow up visit was pretty pointless as the oral surgeon wasn't even there. I went back another week later for a second follow up, and spoke to the oral surgeon. He stated he never saw the nerves during surgery so it was odd that I was so numb. He also let me know that whatever feeling hadn't returned in 4 months, wouldn't likely return. It's been 4 months, full feeling has not returned yet. I guess I just have to live this way. Overall, I couldn't recommend this surgeon. I know it could have been worse but it could have gone a lot better. There was too much confusion, not enough follow through and the outcome was less than desirable.
