Luckily I haven't required much oral surgery, aside from my wisdom tooth extractions and the…read moreexcision of an annoyance from under my tongue many years ago. I have only been to one surgeon, but when another annoyance popped up under my tongue, I wanted to go somewhere closer to home. I was referred here yesterday, and they were able to get me in today. My issue is time-sensitive as the recurring lesion (aka annoyance) needs to be at least somewhat present in order to be examined and then excised. Dr. Lytle was super kind, and carefully listened to what I had to say (kind of a lot, as I have chronic health conditions), and then thoroughly examined my tongue. To my surprise, I was able to have the procedure done right then and there. My treatment plan was explained to me and I was taken back into their mini operating room. I will say, their mini operating room was very impressive! It's definitely not what I was used to from my other oral surgeon. I don't react well to epinephrine which is necessary to control bleeding, especially in a highly vascular area like the tongue. Dr. Lytle went out of his way to accommodate me and use as little epinephrine as possible which really helped me to not feel bad. The procedure was over before I knew it. The worst part were the lidocaine injections under the tongue, as it's very sensitive. I was numb before I knew it and couldn't feel anything after, which is what matters! The women assisting him were all very nice and pleasant, you could tell they enjoy their job and work well together. I was sent home with some gauze and aftercare instructions that were also explained to me in the office. Dr. Lytle and the front and back office staff all took excellent care of me. There is a reason this practice is highly-rated! I'm looking forward to my follow-up and I am happy to have found a great oral surgery practice nice and close to home.

I came to Dr. Nishimura straight from the emergency room with a very, serious and very painful…read moreinfection. I was scared and in tears. Not only did they take me right before closing time, but from the second I got there everyone was amazing and made me feel so much better about the situation. The entire front staff, especially Liz and terry were so patient and really showed I was in good hands. Dr.Nishimura And his assistants Priscilla and Tammy , were so professional and they really went above and beyond in every way. They gave me a blanket, put a pillow under my legs. I've never been treated so great as a patient anywere before! All of that aside Dr. Nishimura is by far the best dentist I've ever been to! I felt no pain, it was done quickly and I've healed up perfect! He even called me that night to make sure I was doing ok and to see if I had any questions. I highly recommend him! Thank you to Dr. Nishimura and his entire staff, I'll never forget my experience there.

Five stars for Dr. Urfrig and the whole team at Agoura Hills Oral Surgery. I've needed to get my…read morewisdom teeth removed for years; however, I haven't been able to do so because I have a blood disorder that prevents me from undergoing surgery. Due to these reasons, I was extremely nervous leading up to the surgery. To give this review the gravity it deserves, I'm going to break it into three sections: pre-op, operation, and post-op. Pre-op: I met Dr. Urfrig about two and a half years ago when I developed an infection from an impacted wisdom tooth. From the very beginning, I informed him of my blood disorder and the challenges of removing my teeth, so we made a plan alongside my hematologist to ensure that I mitigated the risk of infection while I prepared for the surgery. Fast forward more than two years later, and I was finally ready to get the teeth removed. Something very clear from the beginning was how friendly his office staff are. Everyone is so kind and understands that most people have anxiety over surgical procedures of any kind, especially at younger ages which applies to most people getting their wisdom teeth removed. Dr. Urfrig was always highly attentive to my questions and needs, I never felt rushed, and every question I had was always answered thoroughly. Additionally, I had frequent questions before the operation that I would call in; Dalton would always answer the phone and assist in any way that he could. Lastly, they take covid precautions seriously, which added a level of comfort to every visit; in a place where every patient has to be maskless, it's nice to know that they are doing all that they can to ensure a safe environment. Operation: Okay, so this feels a little weird to be writing, but I actually enjoyed the operation. I know it sounds crazy, but hear me out as I'll do my best to explain why. First of all, I chose not to be put to sleep for multiple reasons; instead, I received numbing agents and nitrous oxide. I was so nervous and full of anxiety the day of the operation. I couldn't sleep the night before because of angst which didn't help. When I arrived, the first thing they asked me was what music I wanted to listen to; naturally, I told them John Williams soundtracks since I am a film nerd, and they began playing the best of John Williams, which was an immediate stress reliever. Then Dr. Urfrig came in, he asked how I was doing, and if I had any questions, I told him I was ready to finally go for it, so we began! The first couple minutes were a little uncomfortable until I was entirely numb; at that point, they cranked up the laughing gas, and between that and the music, I honestly didn't care that my teeth were being hacked away and my mouth was being cut open. I was jamming to the music and floating on clouds. Seriously that laughing gas is strong stuff, definitely better than being put to sleep. I also really appreciate that Dr. Urfrig knew all the soundtracks that were playing, every time a new track played, he would tell me what it was, and he was always right! The fact that I couldn't feel anything except for the laughing gas and the music made for a pretty good time for that hour on the operating chair. Post-op: once the numbing wore off, the pain kicked in, to be expected... Luckily I felt like I had a Dr. who genuinely cared about my questions and wanted to do everything that he could to help mitigate the pain. I called in about the pain, and instead of giving me a generic response, "it happens" or "it will feel better later," they immediately told me to come on in so the Dr. could take a look! I mean, I was expecting a generic answer, and I received so much more than that. I went in, and Dr. Urfrig took a look and immediately diagnosed the problem, and with a quick swoosh, it was solved: no more pain! Before I left, he told me that if I have any more pain or anything else comes up, make sure to give them a call or come in to see them. Keeping in mind, this was after the procedure and after my payment was processed. Bottom line: throughout this process, I genuinely felt like Dr. Urfrig and his entire staff truly cared about my wellbeing. Dr. Urfrig was always attentive, respectful of my feelings, and extremely kind. I wish all doctors were as thorough and understanding as Dr. Urfrig. If you're looking for an oral surgeon that will care about your wellbeing and calm your nerves, then look no further than Dr. Urfrig. If I could give Agoura Hills Oral Surgery a 6/5, I would, and I cannot recommend them enough!

Read carefully! As…read moreone of the most active Yelp reviewers on Yelp, I take lot of pride in reviewing a variety of aspects when it comes to reviewing a business. This review is a statement of my own opinion and is only referring to my own experiences with the billing side of this business. Im guessing the dr wont even read this review anyways as the customer experience here is most importantly overlooked here and that will say everything you need to know about this business. I strongly encourage you to read this review closely and judge for yourself as to what is professional or what is not. The billing & client experience here is out right medically morally wrong. Beware! They only seem to care about getting paid and thats it. More concerning is that customers like myself just want billing transparency and don't want to be in a position right before literal surgery to be confronted with additional unclear costs. they are NOT CLEAR about their billing. Imagine the day of surgery, minutes before you go into the surgery room and you are still arguing and unclear of what you owe. Imagine how unsettled and anxious you would feel.... This was AFTER i literally have a voice mail yesterday(saved) from them that explains and expresses exactly what my patient responsibilities are for this procedure. I also had a 3 way call with provider and my ins company the day before reviewing each cost . talk about unclear and unprofessional communication. Yet. Today i was told by the insurance co even that they misquoted me. Crazy to hear over the phone and also they were not fully communicated the coats by the provider. I actually walked Out at my scheduled surgery time because of all the chaos . Heres the full story. One month ago or so I was referred to this oral surgeon to have a tooth extraction and implant put in. I went in weeks ago. Had 360 xray and etc done along with console by dr. The doctor was nice and quite professional, yet everyone and everything else was not. The session seemed rushed and the billing was more rushed and seemed very unclear. I was presented with 2 directions to pursue both financially and medically. So, I requested a formal insurance approval and also advised I would just get a second opinion. This was for 1000s of dollars and I just needed to be safe and sure of my decision. Over the past few weeks, I heard nothing from the group even though I scheduled and booked a surgery date. Until than, I just wanted to KNOW what my actual patient responsibility was for the surgery. I called and requested an approval and was told over and over that they did not receive it. So IMPORTANT i called yesterday and spoke to Marie who is the office mgmt. she advised me thot they still didn't receive anything from my dental insurance co. So i was told she would do it at days end. Everyone called out sick yesterday. So I thought why WAIT. I have surgery actually scheduled for Tomorrow. Why is it taking so long to get actual clear numbers. So I called my insurance company right after that call. I set up a 3 way call with provider, ins co and myself. I was not allowed to speak jointly so I WAS told to be put on hold during each medical code. Basically the provider and insurance company went over each code and cost while i was put on hold. Than the insurance company came back each time on same call while i was on hold explaining each covered cost. Literally line item and on hold than told than back on hold etc. hr plus call. I than hours after I RECEIVED a phone call from provider and voicemail saying what my responsibility was financially. Agreeing and reiterating what i was told by insurance company re my costs.i showed up to my surgery 30 min early.i was presented a bill for a significant amount more. I immediately complained that was not the agreed amount. I than had an argument at the counter. So I called the insurance company again and pleaded for their help. I walked right back into the office literally during my surgery scheduled time where I asked the insurance company to once again speak directly with the provider the office manager asked for a phone call from the insurance company and then proceeded to walk into the back office. I could literally hear them discussing the matter in the other room and I sat there for a good 15 minutes or so with no communication no nothing. Talk about a customer experience would you want going to surgery feeling like that? Would you proceed forward with this group in all my years? I've never seen this degree of unprofessionalism. so I ended up walking out I since then called a couple other providers given the insurance billing codes and I've already saved a tremendous amount of money just pursuing another avenue. I can already tell that the customer experience feels different.
