Also grateful to the kind and caring staff who showed a high level of professionalism with every interaction.

I'm not sure what happened to this place, because I've been going here for years, but the last time…read moreI showed up I was informed I had an outstanding balance due. When I asked what this was for I was told that the last cleaning was $100 more than I was charged at the time of service. I was also informed that I owed money for multiple dentist exams. When I told the receptionist I hadn't seen the dentist in years he seemed confused. The only comment made was that there were no notes in my chart from the dentist so maybe I was right. Then I asked if they could look up my insurance and they said only if I had my card on me. I have had dentists look this up online before so I was shocked at how cold and unhelpful they were. When I finally got back to the hygienist I asked if I could speak to a manager. Someone came halfway through my exam and said they didn't have time to meet with me, but would audit my account and get back to me. When I checked out the front desk had somehow managed to find my insurance without a card. There was no apology for misunderstanding. No explanation for the multiple exam fees I was going to be charged that never happened. Nothing was said about why the last cleaning wasn't collected in full at the time of service. 2 weeks past and I didn't hear back so I called and asked for a follow up. The same receptionist called me back and said I owed $200 for an exam fee back in 2024 with a dentist who ended up cleaning my teeth. I had no idea I was being charged for an exam at the time, nor was I told after the visit. I'm unsure why the lack of transparency around fees and why they are deciding to charge me now for something that happened over a year ago, but needless to say I won't be returning. Proceed with caution.

Dr. Robert's office is one of those places where you almost forget you're going to the dentist,…read morealmost. Let's get the only downside out of the way: parking is, an experience. But if you go early (which I do), it's honestly a non issue and totally manageable. Now for everything that actually matters, this place is top tier. The staff is beyond amazing. Genuinely friendly, welcoming, and just easy to talk to. No weird dentist office energy, no feeling rushed or brushed off. They take the time to answer questions, explain things clearly, and make sure you're comfortable the entire time. The facility itself is pristine, clean, modern, and really well kept. You can tell they take pride in what they do. What I appreciate most is that they're honest and efficient. They don't try to upsell or push unnecessary work, which is rare. But at the same time, they go above and beyond when it comes to customer service and care. It's that perfect balance. They're also super on top of reminders and notifications, which makes staying consistent with appointments effortless. I'll absolutely keep going every 6 months, no question and I recommend them to pretty much everyone I know. 10/10 (minus one point for parking but we forgive them).

After a year of regular visits and spending $13,475 at Cardinal Dental, I was left with two botched…read moredental implants and a poorly done crown by Dr. Kalinowski, along with a failed apicoectomy performed by Dr. Roberts. Throughout that year, I endured constant pain and infections, which Dr. Kalinowski frequently dismissed as ENT problems, nerve issues, or systemic disorders--all of which were refuted by other doctors. Dr. Roberts misdiagnosed my condition as TMJ disorder and recommended Botulinum toxin injections, which would have incurred even more costs. Despite my severe pain and Dr. Kalinowski's refusal to address a loose implant cover screw, he just pushed the cover in, which caused severe pain because the soft tissue pinched between the implant cover and the implant. I eventually sought help from an ABOMS-certified surgeon. The new surgeon said that all of my problems were caused by the immediate implant, which he never performs due to the high risk of infection, as well as a loose cover screw and a poorly done apicoectomy. The new surgeon had to fix the loose implant cover screw and clean the dead tissue between the implant and cover screw, clean the other implant, extract the apicoectomized tooth, and general dentist had to replace the oversized crown that had improper anatomy. After these procedures, my issues have been resolved. While the staff initially appeared friendly, they quickly became unfriendly and defensive when I voiced my complaints. I requested a report along with the implant stickers, but I only received the implant stickers and not the report. When I requested a copy of my X-rays, I received an empty CD and had to call the next day to finally obtain my records via Google Drive. Additionally, some employees were noticeably noisy and loud, which was unsettling during surgeries. Overall, the office seems more focused on profit than on patient care.

Consider this a 4.5 star review. Got my wisdoms out in two go's, one side then the other. First…read moretime was great. Dr. Nijhawan was warm and kind and made me feel comfortable before the surgery. It was all done in like twenty minutes then I woke up and loopily ranted about the job market. I woke up on day two with no pain and only had a little swelling. The other side on the other hand was not as great an experience. I predicted I would have way more pain since one of the teeth was impacted and close to the nerve and started panicking when I was in the chair getting sedated because "lights out" didn't happen as fast as last time and I was wondering why I was still aware and conscious when he started picking up tools. The doctor seemed to have a more blasé attitude the second time around maybe because I'd already gotten the surgery once. My memory cut out after that so I know I did get properly sedated but the way I was being treated with less care sort of set the tone for my recovery. I have no complaints about the actual work itself. The sites have healed up well and are already pretty much closed. All of the assistants who were there when I woke up both times were very nice and caring. Shoutout to Mansi for shushing me when I was revealing too much about myself while my mother was in the waiting room across the way. My prediction about the pain was correct. The evening of the surgery the ibuprofen wore off a couple hours before I would be able to take the next one so I took the backup medication. But neither the bottle, nor the pharmacy sticker, nor either of the post-op instruction packets said I had to take the loading dose on an empty stomach so I ended up in severe pain for several hours and having jerky muscle spasms every twenty to thirty minutes as a side effect and I just iced the area (which had swollen up a lot) until I could take another ibuprofen and the pain subsided. Later I found the correct instructions in the medication brand booklet they had given me. Completely my fault for not reading through all of the materials they had given me beforehand but if a patient has to read through multiple packets and booklets to get to the correct medication instructions the instructions probably aren't obvious or accessible enough. Plus I didn't think I'd need the backup meds based off my first experience and I was in too much pain to wait any longer by reading. I don't know if it's normal to not be seen by the doctor at all during a followup and be seen by one of the assistants instead. The doctor could've just popped in for a minute and leave like the first time. I guess he was busy. Again, all of the assistants I've interacted with directly are very sweet and kind and I liked the assistant who did my followup, so no complaints there. Warm thank you to Miles for being kind, gentle, and attentive before my second surgery and during my followup appointment. Their care and Dr. Nijhawan's work are the best part about this place. Overall if you want to be in safe hands and you want your procedure done correctly without complications this is the right place. tldr; very competent care, slightly inconsistent attitude.

I had an excellent experience at Mountain View Oral Surgery and highly recommend them…read more First, it should be known that I am phobic of needles. I explained this to Dr Sumit Nijhawan (oral surgeon and MD) when we had a consultation before a tooth extraction. He listened carefully to all the ways I stay calm: taking a 5 mg valium before the procedure, having my husband in the room when I get the numbing shot, not tilting me too far back in the chair, and inhaling nitrous oxide during the procedure. He immediately allayed my fears and assured me we would do all of those things. During the procedure I was pleasantly "out of it". Dr N kept me informed of every step, and calmly and clearly communicated to his assistants throughout. It was a well-practiced team. I was surprised the procedure (tooth removal and graft) went incredibly smoothly and the extraction site healed fast. In hindsight, it should not have been a surprise. My prosthodontist, Kevin Lin in Sunnyvale who is a perfectionist, recommended Dr N. Dr Lin. I respect the recommendations I have received from Dr Lin. Dr N is a skilled surgeon, and I believe this minimizes complications. I did not need pain killers afterwards. Fast forward to 6 months later when the post was inserted into the graft and then 6 months after that when a short visit confirmed everything looked good and I was ready to return to Dr Lin to make an impression for the crown. In addition, the ladies at the front desk are very knowledgeable, courteous, efficient, and above all, cheerful and empathetic. They were very helpful when we were searching for good dental insurance, and were always accurate and efficient in their billing. They gave lots of reassurances and helpful post-op instructions. It's always a pleasure to see them. Mountain View Oral Surgery is definitely a 10 out of 10.

When I visited an oral surgeon for implant consultation, I was told that I need to take care of my…read moregum disease first. I was shocked. I've never thought that I could be in this bad shape. But that's how I got to know Dr. Wu. My first treatment was a deep cleaning performed by Cindy, the best hygienist I've even known. Due to the pandemic, the cleaning was done on both sides in one day so the patients don't have to do Covid test twice and come back for the 2nd time. Even though I had to be on the dentist chair for 2 hours and my mouth was numb for a few hours, I felt great afterward. During the cleaning, Cindy tried to make me feel as comfortable as possible, and engaged some fun conversation so I don't feel stress. Cindy also gave me a lot of great tips for oral & gum care, which I didn't know before. On the check-up exam 5 weeks later, Dr. Wu was pleased with my gum's health. And I now can move forward with the implant, which I insisted to be performed by Dr. Wu. So, stay tuned for my next update about the implant. May take a while though as it's a long process.
