After my bad experience at Greater Ventura Oral Surgery, I am so GLAD to come here!!…read more Upon entering the office, I was greeted by friendly staff. As I waited, they kept me informed how much longer I had to wait (which wasn't long). When I got to the examination room, the dentist came in immediately introduced himself and shook my hand. He was incredibly friendly, professional, and took his TIME to answer all my questions. I was so at ease with how he treated me! I had no qualms about trusting him and what he was saying. I would HIGHLY recommend coming here!!

May God help you if you ever need treatment from Dr. Siavash. My experience with him was…read morefrustrating and deeply disappointing, marked by substandard care, poor communication, and a complete disregard for a treatment plan that should have ensured a proper recovery with relative ease. Had he done what the ER doctor initially recommended when assessing my fractured mandible, I wouldn't be dealing with the complications I now face. On December 16, 2024, I suffered a fractured mandible and was initially treated at Saint John's Pleasant Valley Hospital. The ER physician diagnosed it as a clean break and informed me that it should have been easily corrected with an open reduction procedure. When I consulted Dr. Siavash on December 26, 2024, he ignored the recommended approach, instead describing my injury as "shattered"--a completely different diagnosis than what the ER physician had told me. For reasons I cannot comprehend, Dr. Siavash was completely against performing the open reduction procedure, even though it was the clear, logical, and medically sound approach to correcting my injury. Instead, he **wired my jaws together for four weeks**, ignoring the need to properly set the mandible at the fracture site. This decision led to predictable complications, including malunion and malocclusion--complications that should never have happened if he had followed a standard surgical approach. His consultation lasted only 8-12 minutes after I waited over two hours in the examination room to see him. Given the seriousness of my injury, I expected thorough attention and care, yet I received rushed, dismissive treatment. Even more shockingly, when I asked if he wanted my dental records before the operation, he dismissed the idea entirely and instead asked me to "just send a picture of me smiling." How does a trained maxillofacial surgeon ignore critical records and opt for a casual photo instead? This is jaw surgery, not a cosmetic consultation. Adding to my frustration, Dr. Siavash was the only option available to me through Ventura County Health Care Plan (VCHCP), meaning I had no opportunity to seek a second opinion within the network. Later, another surgeon's office informed me that Dr. Siavash doesn't even treat trauma-related injuries, raising serious concerns about why he was entrusted with my case in the first place. Because of his poorly executed treatment plan, I am now accruing additional billing expenses from VCHCP as I seek proper treatment to correct the avoidable damage his surgical approach caused. His refusal to perform the correct procedure resulted in lasting complications that never should have occurred. His negligence and unwillingness to follow the standard, medically recommended approach call into question his competency as a maxillofacial surgeon. The errors he made were not minor--they were completely avoidable, predictable, and unacceptable for a specialist in his field. No patient should ever have to endure such carelessness and disregard for their well-being. Dr. Siavash had every opportunity to fix my jaw correctly, and he failed. Instead of following the standard procedure, he ignored the best approach and left me with permanent complications. To put it simply, in golfer's terms, he had an easy putt to make, and he tried to sink it with a nine iron. At this point, I want my treatment to be managed by a different physician--one who understands the importance of proper jaw function and precision in surgical care. Given my experience, I firmly believe that Dr. Siavash should no longer be considered a trusted maxillofacial specialist within the Ventura County Health Care Plan (VCHCP). If you need a surgeon who prioritizes precision, thoroughness, and patient outcomes, I strongly urge you to seek an alternative specialist. Do not trust him with your care. He blew it and I am paying the price for his negligence, or worse.

First off the receptionist is absolutely atrocious, she has no idea what she's talking about and makes you feel horrible. Dr. Morissette does what the patient wants not what's best for the patient. He is a doctor and should know what would be too large or two small for someone's face and doctors should guide the patient into a decision that makes sense. I also feel that he should have had an office visit with me before walking by the me in the surgery room telling me he was going to add a combination of implants size XL to my cheeks. I Never discussed this with him in an office visit!Unfortunately, everything that Dr. Morissette did turned out horrible, and I was botched I spent $12,000 and now it is hard for me to leave the house . Dr. Morissette is a very nice man but unfortunately I had an awful experience that I have to live for the rest of my life.

Dr. Morissette and staff are amazing…read more I was grateful to have been sent to Dr. Morissette by my endodontist who was performing a root canal when she realized the tooth was not salvageable. She called Dr.Morissette and they got me in the next morning to remove the tooth. The staff was welcoming and sympathetic to my situation. I was scared because I have never experienced anything beyond a cavity. Dr.Morrissette explained everything to me, if I didn't understand something he was kind and simply went over the procedure again. He removed the tooth that morning without any complications. During our visit I noticed he also did cosmetic procedure's. I prompted an interest in Botox, fillers. and peels. Again without hesitation he gave his opinion on things that may help brighten up my features. In no way did I ever feel him pushing me into anything, in fact it was quite the opposite. I did end up doing a TCA peel Botox and had my lips done. I could not be happier with the outcome of everything. Dr. Morrissette has a lot of energy and is confident with his skill. Some may misinterpret this but I assure you he is very good at what he does and that is what matters to me. Andrea R.

I was referred here by my dentist. I made an appointment and I showed up 10 mins early (just to do…read moreany last minute paperwork, etc) - since I was a new patient. One thing I noticed when I entered the building, was the noticeable stench of urine. (The office is right next to the bathrooms). I was asked to sit, and I sat there for 25 mins PAST my appointment time. No one spoke to me, no one advised me how much longer it would take. I finally got up and asked how much longer it was going to be. The 3 staff members looked clueless, and simply said the Dr. was in surgery and sometimes it runs long. I sat back down, and coincidentally, I was called up within minutes to be escorted to a treatment room. The nurse there was friendly, however, the dentist was NOT. He came in, didn't offer to shake hands, or introduce himself. He mumbled his last name, and sat down. As I explained my situation to him, he simply just stared at me - he looked annoyed. After I was done, he got up and said I needed a CT scan, and he left. I was shocked how unfriendly he was. Every dentist I've ever been to understands the importance of customer service! Especially for a new patient. I didn't like how I was treated, so I got up and left. He might have been the best dentist in the county, but he needs to work on his personal skills. I would definitely NOT recommend.

My experience with this dentist was the worst ever. I found him to be arrogant and disrespectful…read more He humiliated me in front of his staff by shrugging his shoulders after I asked him what could be done about the ill fitting bridge he placed in my mouth! When I explained I had been biting my tongue and my cheek, he told me "that's a soft tissue issue" and told me to go to a periodontist! From the minute he placed this bridge, I told him it was too big! It was uncomfortable and I felt like I had a wad of gum behind my front teeth, and it even flew out of my mouth at a Christmas party last year! I waited six months to see if it felt any better and when it did not, I went to another dentist for a consultation. He agreed the bridge did not fit well and even contacted Dr. Babbitt to see if he would refund my money so it could be done properly. Dr. Babbitt refused to give even a partial refund and believed his work was perfect. Now, almost one year later, I need a root canal on one of the abutment teeth because the bridge does not fit right and bacteria made its way inside. I have been in excruciating pain for two weeks now as I try to gather the money for a root canal and another bridge. Lastly, my roots were exposed and I noticed they were discolored. I was told by Dr. Babbitt this was caused by brushing too hard and that it was just discoloration. I was NEVER told that what was actually happening was that my roots were decaying due to dry mouth caused by daily use of Flonase! He even said that because you couldn't see my gums when I smile, it isn't something that needed to be fixed. Had he emphasized that my roots were decaying at an alarming rate and I would need to fix the problem sooner than later, I would have made that priority and NOT gotten the bridge that I really didn't need.

My daughter and son got their wisdom teeth, pulled appropriately six weeks ago. My son had a smooth transition after the surgery and never needed to return to Dr. Zarenkelk's office. My daughter on the hand had issues because one of her wisdom teeth was attached to her nasal cavity. She was in tremendous pain and new symptoms arise throughout. Therefore, we needed to return on three occasions. Every time we returned to see him he appeared, bothered and dismissed her pain at one point she was on a field trip in San Diego with her school and liquid started coming out from her wisdom teeth. I obviously was concerned I called the office and the office manager and the aide told me at espérate times that Dr. Zarenkelk gave instructions that my daughter, a minor should look for a oral surgeon in San Diego or she should go to the emergency room. I told them that she was on a field trip and reiterated that she's a minor and how did they expect her to do that? I said that she would be back by 6 PM and asked if there was any way that he could see her and make an exception in his office since her school was literally up the street, but they said he couldn't. I asked to speak with him directly . When he returned my call he said that he wasn't worried about it that she didn't have to go to the emergency room when I question why he gave those instructions to the office manager and the aid he disregarded it. He said the emergency room couldn't do anything for her anyway and they would refer her back to him. When he saw her, he said she was fine. Even though she continued to have pain. He just said she was on the mend all while my daughter continued to be in pain. The last time that we went to go see him he was very curt and appeared to be bothered that he had to see us again. He took a quick look in my daughters mouth and again stated that all the symptoms that she was feeling were normal. This is six weeks after the surgery she told him she had pain in her teeth, her cheek and in her nasal area. To the point where she could feel her heart beat pounding. He said that it probably wasn't related to the wisdom teeth and instructed us to go see her primary doctor. I questioned this and stated why if she didn't have these symptoms prior to getting her wisdom tooth extracted. He replied that it was unrelated. I then asked if her teeth continue to hurt when she should come back and see him. He looked bothered, and said one month or two, but she really should go see her primary because this is probably not related to her wisdom teeth. He demonstrated zero empathy towards her pain. He showed zero concern for the fact that she's still hurting. It was clear to me that he was bothered that we have had to return numerous times because more symptoms arose and the old symptoms had not cleared. I would not recommend this doctor at all, especially if they have issues. Don't expect him to show any concern or empathy towards your child.

Avoid Dr. Patel at Clark & Patel Oral Surgery:…read more I am sharing my experience to warn others about the care I received from Dr. Patel during a wisdom tooth extraction. The procedure itself felt incredibly forceful--he used a hammer and chisel technique that was highly traumatic and left me feeling like my jaw had been fractured. Following the surgery, I experienced severe, uncontrolled bleeding that lasted from 2:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. despite following all post-op instructions. When I sought help, Dr. Patel dismissed the severity of the situation as "normal" and told me to just bite on tea packets, leaving me to deal with hours of continuous bleeding on my own without proper clinical intervention. Furthermore, the excessive force used resulted in a nerve injury. I suffered from complete numbness in my jaw, teeth, and tongue on that side for 4 to 5 months after the procedure. While my sensation eventually returned, the lack of support and the reckless approach to the surgery was completely unacceptable. If you are looking for a gentle, attentive oral surgeon who provides proper post-operative care, I highly recommend looking elsewhere.
