    I had to have a broken tooth extracted in March of 2023 which my general dentist could not handle,…read moreso the dentist referred me to an oral surgeon (Empire Oral Surgery). The appointment required well over a month, and I asked if the healthcare staff wore masks while performing the procedure and got an equivocal assurance that they did. When I arrived for the procedure I found that all the staff at the practice were not wearing masks of any kind, and when I asked if the attending surgeon would be wearing a mask I was told that he would not (you can read my May 18th review of Empire Oral Surgery if you want the details). I know that there is no longer any law requiring that healthcare workers wear masks and that politicians have declared that the COVID pandemic is over, but the pandemic is *not* over and the law often is wrong. I had to beat a retreat and then search for a surgeon who would observe basic biosafety protocols. I called my general dentist and asked for any other oral surgeons he might recommend and came away with a list of four. To their credit the first two offices were honest and said that they would not wear masks (one "No" and a second "Hell no") but the third, Dr. Gelder's office, said that they'd "take it under advisement" and get back to me. They called me back an hour later and said they'd wear masks for the procedure. I offered to furnish the N95 masks (sealed and factory stamped) but they said they had them on hand. The only problem was that they'd have to schedule the appointment two months out. I accepted and babied the broken tooth for the next couple of months. Once the appointment came I have to say the experience was completely different than Empire Oral Surgery. I was greeted by a nurse wearing an N95 mask, taken to a well-ventilated surgery suite, and was worked on by Dr. Gelder who also made a point of wearing an N95 mask while entering, administering anesthesia, performing the procedure, and suturing up/telling me how to handle aftercare. This was not a simple extraction: it involved a tooth that had vertically sheared and broken below the gum line, and it required a studied hand to handle it (believe me, in the five months I had to wait for this procedure I had plenty of time to read about it on the internet). Dr. Gelder and his nurse were extremely good at their work. If you want a very very good surgeon -- Dr. Gelder (and his nurse) are the people to go to. If you want someone who will respect your concerns about COVID -- Dr. Gelder (and his nurse) are the people to go to.

    Dr. Gelder is amazingly gentle and communicates clearly recommendations and assessments. Staff…read morewere helpful and friendly and appointments were on time! Highly recommend!

    Communication! Nobody communicates the specifics. Went to this dentist with intention of having a…read moretooth extraction. He had xrays and I was sent there by my dentist with a message from her for an extraction. They tell me no this is just the consult. They had my health questions filled out on the email they sent me with meds and health issues filled out. I don't have a lot of time as I work full time and care for an ill family member on hospice. My time is limited. There is barely a tooth there as it was decayed under the crown. When I did see the dentist he asked me two questions stuck his finger in my mouth and said ok we can do this today but I have to fit you in. Two hour wait time. If they had told me that it was a consult I would not have taken the appointment. He may be a good surgeon but there was no communication. They asked me to be there at 720 and they didn't open the door until 730. Then they wanted a fee for a consult, that was a hard no. So no I would not recommend him. His office was all pretty furniture and big screen TVs but I feel it was just a little too foofoo and not enough medical.

    My recent experience with Dr. Smail and his very professional staff to remove a tooth was a very…read morepositive experience, The doctor and his staff made every effort to make an unpleasant task as pleasant as it could be. Thank you to all for keeping this nervous patient a very satisfied patient.

    Worst experience I have ever had in a medical office. I waited 2+ hours to see the Dr. There was…read moreno justifiable reason for me to wait that long. Everyone who checked in after me, was called first. I watched 2 people who checked in at the same time as me, walk out the door to go home. At one point I politely asked one of the receptionist how long it would be and got a snarky answer while she tried to hide behind her computer monitor to avoid eye contact. At the end, there was only me and one other patient in the waiting area, who checked in long after I did. Another couple came in and asked how long I had been waiting and I told them my appt was at 2:30, and it was now 4 o'clock. The other receptionist stood up and yelled at me across the room. "WE HAVE THREE DOCTORS!" ??? They finally called me in and I sat for another half an hour in the dentist chair before the Dr. came in.

    Dr. Delgado certainly has his ducks in a row! He is a super nice guy and has no issue taking the…read moretime to calmly explain everything that he is doing. I am an Engineer so I found it very interesting and I never felt rushed. My tooth is a strong as it was before and it feels like a real tooth in my mouth...AMAZING! I want to make an exception here to mention Nicole in the Billing Department. My insurance SUCKS and she really went out of her way to help me. After arguing with my insurance for months she stayed after hours to finalize my claim after contacting my insurance company for me PERSONALLY ...and they are OUT OF NETWORK!!! ...so she did not have to do that!!! THANK YOU NICOLE!!! :)

    Once again. I have had a wonderful experience. Unfortunately the main reason for coming to this…read morepractice was to have an evaluation of my tooth. My appointment was for 7 am. I got there around 6:45 and was greeted by two very happy and cheerful young ladies. After filling out paperwork I was promptly called in' Mandy did a wonderful job preparing the room for the time when I was going to be seen by Dr. Chang. Upon looking at my tooth he agreed that it needed to be extracted and asked if I wanted to go ahead and doing right then. I of course said yes since I had been in a lot of pain. He successfully removed it without any complications. I would recommend this practice and would also highly recommend Dr Chang. Thank you for making this an easy process.

SELF-serving flip flopping of network participation Possibly targeting some patients? Ask questions (record) because once they extract those easy hundreds from your insurance for the 15 minute consult and panoramic/X-rays, you are STUCK! You will lose HUNDREDS when you want to change oral surgeons after you find out they suddenly demand the " highest" cash deposit .. or find out the office just made the network policy "change" to exclusively make things difficult for YOU! The delay waiting for the apt. and benefit grab of hundreds for that first appointment, makes it harder to switch to a better office like Cap District Oral Surgeons. BEFORE a CONSULT, and before you walk through that door, require they contact insurance for a prior auth and obtain a COPY. Actively involve insurance! DONT BE THE DESPERATE FOOL they profit from! Their shadiness cost pain, delay of care, and loss of 2k worth of an annual dental insurance benefit. After rep verified procedure was covered in full by insurance with no deductible, the manager changed it up to require a cash down payment for the surgery now stating the "surgery" was billed differently allowing them to demand cash also!!! All of it should have been with our insurance - with no deductible! How in the world can the X-rays and expensive 15 minute consult be in network and covered at 100 %, but the extractions also covered at 100% demand a huge CASH down payment at the highest estimated cost! UNETHICAL????
