Her front desk staff are really unhelpful. They wouldn't give me concrete answers about pricing, and didn't want to reach out to my dentist to get the XRays already done. Overall just pretty rude and gave me a bad feeling about the practice. Dr. Wang was recommended to me, but I ended up going somewhere else based on my interactions with her staff. I was left feeling like they are just trying to charge as much as possible and are not interested in making it an informative or smooth process for the patient at all. read more

Dr. Joy Wang was awesome! I got all four my wisdom teeth removed with local anesthetic. She was so quick injecting my mouth with the anesthetic that I didn't realize she had started. As I only had local anesthetic, I was able to drive home. Dr. Wang sent me home with my extracted teeth in a pouch and suggested I make some jewelry out of them. Sounds good to me! read more

I went here to get my wisdom teeth out, but quickly left. Warning bell number 1: While I was waiting, open of the assistants spoke to the dentist in the hallway about a patient that was complaining about pain. The assistant made it sound like the patient was whining and her tone lacked sympathy for someone with big gaping wounds in their mouth. Warning bell number 2: The x-ray machine is in the hallway. So the assistant yells out, "X-ray!" and everyone dives into a room and closes the door. I've never seen that before. Warning bell number 3, and I'm out!: Dr. Wang, whom I had come to see, said my lower wisdom teeth were in my nerve and I needed to get a CT scan, that cost $400 and no insurance would cover, so she could get a better picture of what was going on. No way! Why bother having insurance if I have to pay $400 out of pocket for a CT scan? The answer is: I'm not. I also had gone to a different dental surgeon 6 months before who had no issues with my tooth being in my nerve, so I already had one dentist's opinion on my teeth. (I didn't go to him because I was in college, about to graduate, come off my parent's insurance, and move away.) I think she has a deal going on with that lab because everyone I asked said they have never heard of getting a CT scan for wisdom teeth. I went back there another day to pick up the x-rays in my file, one from the first dentist, and one taken at Dr. Wang's office. The secretaries there were very rude and gave me a crappy copy of Dr. Wang's x-ray. I told them, "There is another x-ray in there from another office and I want it." The secretary, went back, got it, then turned around and didn't hand it to me while she triple checked it was from a different office. It feels like they make it as hard as possible for the patient to go somewhere else. I went to my third and last dental surgeon, Dr. Hoghooghi, who is great, and he SHOCKINGLY said nothing about getting a CT scan. I do not recommend Dr. Wang's office to anyone. read more

I wish I had read some of these reviews before I came in. I was referred here for a wisdom tooth consultation. INSURANCE DID NOT COVER THE CONSULTATION. I was told that it would be covered, too. I thought everything was done, but started receiving collection calls about some account for SILICON VALLEY OMS which I later found is this office. I called them to discuss it and they didn't offer any way to take care of it, just said to deal with the collection agency. I let them know that I was planning to possibly come back to them, too, but it was no use; they are impossible to deal with. Beware of this provider... bad news. read more

I went to Dr Wang to figure out if my wisdom teeth were causing crowding and crookedness especially in my front teeth. Accordingly to my dentist, this is a common reason for front teeth crookedness. When I went there, at first Dr Wang was nice and told me about the benefits of getting my wisdom teeth extracted (less risk of cavities, cysts, yada yada). However, I have no oral complications or issues whatsoever with my wisdom teeth so I completely ignored her. One thing I really dislike about her is that she doesn't listen to what her patients want and just keeps talking and talking, doing her sales pitch thing. That was really annoying. What I really wanted to know if my teeth would cause crowding and crookedness in my front teeth. She said she can't tell after doing X-rays (covered by my insurance), which I felt suspicious at first but shrugged it off. So she highly recommended me to do a CT scan, which costs me $200! I asked her if this was necessary in order for her to tell me if my teeth would become crooked in the future or not, and she said yes. I'm not an expert, so I went with her advice and paid the $200. BAD MISTAKE!!! After the CT scan was done, she told me that while the scan revealed that my wisdom teeth were putting some pressure, she cannot tell how much and whether it would cause crowding and crookedness or not in the future. I felt totally ripped off that she lied to me. Duh! It's a freaking wisdom tooth! Of course it's going to put some pressure on the rest of my teeth! In summary, I would give Dr Wang zero stars if possible! Dr Wang's consultation is a total ripoff. I highly recommend people to search for other doctors to extract your wisdom teeth. read more

Dr Wang is the best doctor ever. I've visited them yesterday for my wisdom teach removal after 2 weeks of huge pain and I even could not explain how I finally happy. They have done a very good anesthesia, and get my teeth out so quickly and accurate so I could not imagine that it could be like this. So many thanks!!! read more

If I could give dr. Joy Wang 0 stars I would. I came here for a consultation appointment and immediately she told me my two lower wisdom teeth needed to be extracted ASAP or else the roots are going to touch my nerves and basically cause an infection and kill me. She wasn't friendly and didn't treat me like a patient, more like a customer she was trying to get business from. I ended up getting my top wisdom tooth extracted from her in that SAME hour, completely against my will. She gave me minimal anesthesia which led to me lying there during the operation in obvious and serious pain. I kept telling her I was in pain and needed more anesthesia but she refused. I was already upset about getting unplanned surgery but she didn't even care about how uncomfortable I felt. She stopped the operation after extracting my top tooth and went to the other room to complain and talk smack about how I wasn't cooperating with her. I could very clearly hear the negative things she was saying about me to her staff and that enraged me even more. I was happy to leave after she stopped the operation. It was the most unprofessional dental experience I've ever had and I'm writing this review so others can know what a terrible doctor she is. DO NOT come here. She's definitely not someone I enjoyed having as a surgeon. read more

Here is my insane miracle wisdom teeth story, maybe yours is cooler, but at least mine is unique. My dentist sent me in for a consultation that we scheduled for Tuesday at 2:30pm. We show up at 2:30, check in, and wait in the waiting room for maybe 10 minutes before we're called in. The people are super quick and energetic, the person taking my X-Ray was downright HILARIOUS, and then we begin scheduling a date to get my wisdom teeth pulled. Now, I'm a rising senior in high school, and I lead a pretty busy life. I was going to the East Coast the next week, I would had 2 internships, one 2 weeks long and the other 3 weeks. I was also going to Taiwan for a couple weeks and once school started I would have Cross-Country practice everyday. I couldn't go traveling and flying with swollen cheeks and a bleeding mouth, I couldn't do high intensity work with my face in pain, no one competes in races after surgery. Basically after that Thursday, my entire summer up until December break was actually, literally, straight up booked. I even asked them if I could come in the very next morning or the morning after, but it didn't work out. I had my Google calendar out with all my family events and everything, trying to find a 30 minute window to squeeze in a wisdom tooth surgery. In a last ditch effort, I blurt out, "what about today?" And the lady looks at me like I'm a little crazy, but now she's intrigued and responds "I'll go ask the doctor," with a mysterious smile. Dr. Wang comes back with a lively "yes!" and a were-gonna-do-this attitude as I'm whisked out and into the surgical chair and my mother is left gaping, having given the okay but still processing the whole scene. Before I can even blink, they're giving me pain meds and I'm lying down texting my coach and all my track friends that I might not make it to practice like I promised because I had an abrupt change of plans. I lay back, I take maybe a breath and they've already injected the local anesthesia into all the corners of my mouth. 5 minutes, they say. 5 minutes for the anesthesia to kick in and for me to furiously finish texting my track peers. It feels like no time has passed when they come rushing back in a whirlwind of friendly instruction and encouragement. I open my mouth, there's no pain, just a little pressure and that's one. Then two, three, four, and now I'm sitting up with gauze stuffed in my mouth. They give my mother clear instructions on how to take are of me but I'm still struggling to process the fact that the entire surgery literally took 20-30 minutes. And it honestly felt like 10. We got home at 3:30. One hour after that whole debacle. Okay, cool. Wisdom teeth? Gone, awesome. Recovery? Not usually that awesome, right? Well this is the miracle part. I exercise a lot, so that was one of my concerns regarding recovery time, but Dr. Wang estimated that I would be able to swim the next day and run after 2 days. I was a little skeptical and still played it a little safe and waited 3 days before going on a light run. Nothing hurt, I was fine. It felt a little weird, but definitely no pain or bleeding. The rest of the week was a constant cycle of my friends being equally shocked and confused that I could run, talk, and eat regular food with no problem (excluding crunchy foods). All that talk about only being able to eat mashed potatoes and ice cream? False if you go to Dr. Wang. After two meals of yogurt, I could eat rice, noodles, bread, anything relatively soft. I cannot stress how confused I was when my friends would tell their horrifying wisdom teeth stories about being bed-ridden and constantly bleeding all day. I'm still a little confused, honestly. But hey, I'm not complaining. All in all, Dr. Wang and her staff are super accommodating, understanding, everything the other positive reviews claim they are. They are professional, quick, and clearly knowledgeable about their area of practice. This sounds strange considering all the exciting plans I have this summer, but thanks to Dr. Wang and all the other wonderful women in her office, I already know this wisdom teeth surgery is going to be one of my most memorable experiences this year. read more

I withdrawed three wisdom teeth and Joy finished the surgery pretty well. I recovered mostly within 4 days and never used pain killer.

Dr. Wang has been an angel. I have recurring, complicated (and painful) dental problems, and Dr. Wang always finds a way to work me into her extremely busy schedule. (And if her practice seems a tad hectic at times, it's because she has a conscience and doesn't turn away patients in extreme pain, like other oral surgeons I've encountered. That means her office can be rather busy, because we who know and trust her all show up on her doorstep at the same time, and she takes us in immediately and makes sure we get the care we need. I have been around the block with general dentists, endodontists, and oral surgeons. And not all of them will see you at the drop of a hat, even when you're in excruciating pain. But Dr. Wang will. She will take you in the moment you call. And you may have to wait for a bit in the waiting room, but her staff [who are great!] will get you into an exam room ASAP. ) And even though her schedule can be crazy busy under these circumstances, once she sits down with you for a consult, she doesn't rush you, and she isn't distracted with the million things that she has to take care of or that are going on around her. She patiently listens to everything you need to tell her. And in my case, that says a tremendous amount about her level of patience, because when I'm in severe pain and short on sleep (because of the severe pain), I have a hard time focusing and recalling the pertinent info I need to answer her questions. And yet she never interrupts or makes me feel like I'm taking too long to get to the point. And on top of all of this, Dr. Wang is as smart as a whip. Her thought process is lightening fast, and she catches things that others have missed. She also just does things for me as a matter of course that I've had to go to great lengths to ask other practitioners for--like ordering special anesthetic that she keeps on hand only for me so it's in stock when I need it. I paid for it up front, but I know she will have it on hand if I need it for an emergency procedure or when I'm recovering from one. (Mine is a special case. I have special needs because of my complicated issues. However, not only did Dr. Wang think of doing this for me on her own [something I've had to actually ask other dentists & specialists to do], but she also made sure it happened the very next day. So there were no reminders and nothing fell through the cracks.) And there are other things, like giving me advice and answers that make logical sense (as opposed to a few suggestions I've been given [by other superstar practitioners] that seemed odd or irrational, and which later turned out to be not-such-great advice/answers when I researched them). I've seen a lot of really capable practitioners in this arena. I consider Dr. Wang to be at the top of the list for many reasons, not just those that I've thought of off the top of my head and listed here. read more

The deal breaker for me here was how outdated and therefore completely not useful the office's x-ray technology is. I couldn't believe they still use analog x-ray machines, especially ones that subject patients to more radiation than necessary! I didn't realize how much difference it made until I requested a copy of my panoramic x-rays--completely blurry, obscured, and unreadable.* No wonder Dr. Wang instructed me to get a CT scan to get a clearer picture ("to see the nerves better," I was told). Do I really need MORE radiation? No, and especially not if they had used better x-ray equipment in the first place! If that was just the first step in the process, then no thanks, I will be going elsewhere for my wisdom teeth removal. *Not just the opinion of this layperson. Another surgeon to whom I brought the x-rays was clearly trying to hold it together when he saw the x-rays and not burst out with just how useless they were. read more

I give Joy Wang 0 stars. The short version of this story is... DO NOT COME HERE FOR ORAL SURGERY! Their technology is a bit out-dated but the bottom line is that Dr. Wang just does not listen to you. I hear that Kevin Jeworski isn't bad, but my experience with Dr. Wang and the Silicon Valley OMS was appaling. I don't even know where to begin. I'll start at the beginning. Two of my bottom wisdom teeth are emerging, and one of them got slightly infected during this process. My dentist at Amidi Dental (she is awesome) recommended that i remove the bottom two to avoid crowding. I made the mistake of not cross referencing reviews and swung on by in faith. In the beginning, everything went smoothly. Dr. Wang started joking around with me immediately. I found this to be somewhat unprofessional but i didn't mind. She ushered me into a room to watch a movie while she waited on processing the analog x-ray film. When she returned with the film, we started discussing what I need done. I had already maxed out my dental insurance for the year and wanted to see what were my options. Did I need to take all four out now? Could I wait three months to get the upper two out? How much for just removal of the one tooth that was just bothering me? Well, immediately after hearing that my insurance had been maxed out, EVERYTHING CHANGED. Dr. Wang went into a high pressure sales pitch. She initially blamed me for waiting too long to get my wisdom teeth out. She insisted that i needed to take all four out ASAP. I had just endured a minor infection around one tooth and Dr. Wang warned that in the next month or so, another infection of greater severity would occur. This time, I would be need to be HOSPITALIZED due to the severity of the next infection. In addition to this, she said i had waited so long that a normal x-ray would not suffice. I needed to pay for a $500 CT Scan so that she could properly see how close the nerves in my jaw was to my lower wisdom teeth. She warned again that failure to do so would result in loss of sensation in my jaw and tongue. The ordeal did NOT end here. Dr. Wang gave me a final warning that she suspected my situation was SO BAD and that i had waited too long that she might have to refer me to an academic institution. With the end of her spiel, she immediately had her office assistants schedule a CT scan and paperwork was thrust in my face so that i could sign off on work for four wisdom teeth removal. I was NOT pleased. I refused to sign anything and walked out. Immediately, i found Dr. Joseph S. Kim on yelp and went over to his office. What a difference! I was glad to pay for another consultation and pano x-ray (they actually waived my pano fee after hearing i had already paid for one) and we had a grown up conversation about what really needed to be done and what my options were. It turns out that i didn't need to remove anything. But since I had braces as a kid and wanted to maintain my perfectly straight teeth, i t was just a good idea to remove all four. He gave me the option to remove just one or two first, and the rest in a few months when my dental insurance was reset, but i am pretty impatient so i just paid for all four out of pocket. Also i mentioned the need for a ct scan, but the digital pano-xray i received at dr. kim's practice was crystal clear. There was no need for a CT scan (even though Dr. Kim actually has a CT scanner on site) . Shame on Silicon Valley OMS and Dr. Joy Wang! update: so i called in to pay consultation fee and pano x-ray on the phone. i complained about my treatment there and my disbelief on having to pay for a useless pano x-ray and they waived my x-ray fee. I am grateful that the billing staff was understanding and fair enough to do this for me. +1 star for the billing staff member. Although I remember mentioning karma and yelp in my rant. this probably helped. thanks again yelp! read more

Feeling scammed right now! They made me put down $243.00 for 2 dental extractions. Even though my insurance was verified through Delta and had more then enough. Today I got a check for $56.50 no explanation. Calling and calling. yet to hear back. read more

I highly recommend coming to Dr. Wang if you need oral surgery!!! Dr. Wang extracted my 4 wisdom tooth a week ago and I have been healing very well. Dr. Wang is very sweet and caring. She makes the supposedly scary dental visit a lot less stressful. I took out four wisdom tooth last week with local anesthesia. I was super nervous coming in but Dr. Wang made me calm down. My first three tooth were gone before I even realized. The whole process from getting anesthesia, to operation, to healing, the discomfort was manageable. Dr. Wang called me in the first afternoon to make sure that I'm in good shape. I also had pleasant experience with the front desk. They are patient at explaining everything to me and make sure I have everything I need to come for visit and return home. read more

Been here a total of 4 times: once for a consult where we decided to let my wisdom tooth grow in, a second consult a year later where we decided to remove said wisdom tooth because it wasn't growing in well and causing a lot of discomfort, a third time to get the tooth removed, and a fourth for checking on the extraction site. I had an excellent experience every time with Dr. Joy Wang. I'm terrified of all things dental, and I mean panic attack the second I sit in the chair terrified. But Dr. Wang always made me feel comfortable and I had no trouble getting through my appointments without panic attacks or tears. She was very understanding and helpful in arranging for being put under for my extraction and I went under and woke from the extraction with zero fear. I highly recommend Dr. Wang for any oral surgical needs you have, especially if you're a nervous Nancy like me! read more

Dr. Wang is very nice and caring! I had five teeth extracted here and it's not painful at all! Recovered very quickly and very well. Will recommend to friends and families if needed in the future! read more

First time yelper, but it was necessary! Okay, the good news first. I had to have a tooth pulled in an emergency situation and they got me right in, referred by the endodontist. Now, for the rest- it was a chop shop for teeth and they didn't let me forget that they fit me in. The office was extremely loud and everyone was almost yelling to be heard over the radio and each other. She was nearly violent in her treatment of me and if I hadn't already had 7 shots of anesthesia (REALLY bad tooth) at the endo, I would have come out of the chair when she slammed into me with the needle to numb it more. It was obvious they had too many people to deal with and couldn't possibly be bothered with the niceties of bedside manner and bare politeness. No one seemed to know what my insurance covered even though it's a major insurance company and the receptionist at my regular dentist usually can quote what they cover without looking! The Dr Wang grew quite impatient when I asked about details of the bill and what was to be done, but I was doped up, in screaming pain and not truly understanding and so I agreed to her suggestions and paid up. Hopefully it was just a really bad day for them but they sure didn't treat me like a patient, just another pain in the rear and I will never go back and would recommend anyone to run in the other direction. read more

I just actually got back from getting my bottom two wisdom teeth removed, and Dr. Wang did an awesome job! I ended up doing this procedure conscious with local anesthesia, and the surgery was quick and painless! In fact, it was so quick that she finished removing both of the teeth before the song Ne-Yo's "Mad" finished playing (now I'll never look at that song the same way ever again)! Dr. Wang was also very helpful and comforting during the consultation and surgery day. I still feel really bad getting all worried and having her comfort me so much. But, I'm so thankful for that. I also find her really admirable for obtaining her degree in medicine, dentistry, AND master in public health! She's so quirky and relatable, as she'd connect with her patients by talking about Boston and student loans, haha. It's nice that she remembers patients. I also actually recommend doing this procedure conscious... I was originally going to get knocked out completely for the surgery, but accidentally had a few sips of water. This in turn forced me to do it conscious, which wasn't bad at all! I'm actually glad I accidentally drank that water because the procedure was probably half the cost and I could have probably worked from home if I haven't taken the day off. I'm also guessing the bleeding would subside a lot quicker as I'm able to bite down and put pressure on the gauze right after the surgery. I did request laughing gas, as I was freaked out and frazzled for drinking the water, but I felt it really had no effect... I'm guessing they knock their patients out completely so they could claim more money... One major complaint is the assistants/receptionists working there. Man, they are so condescending and rude!! When I first came for my consultation, they greeted me with NO smile and were very short with me... I think that's their personality, but still. It was almost to the point I wanted to leave and find a different doctor. Luckily, Dr. Wang made everything better as her personality is polar opposite to theirs... Overall, I would recommend her. The assistants/receptionists could use some work... but if you're looking for something quick, I'd come here. Taking out the teeth took about 4 minutes, and I left the office at 8:53 am for an 8:30 appointment. update: 5 hours later... it hurts so bad.... took two vicodins already. Is this normal? Lol. update #2: a week later... my body freaked out and had a fever the weekend after the surgery... man, it sucked!! I was worried so I called the on-call number and was glad Dr. Wang answered her phone. Kudos for waking up at 3 am to answer my call! read more

Dr. Wang is the best. Few years ago, She helped my dad to get rid of his bad decayed tooth. Provided that my father is under blood thinner and had heart surgery before. She prepared a special mouthwash for him and gave him clear instructions before and after extraction. My father's extraction was very successful and the recovery is well and smooth. After years, now it is my turn. Same as always Dr. Wang is so knowledgable and care about her patients. During the 1st visit, Dr. Wang told me there is a risk that the upper jaw may have a hole that may not heal completely. She explained to me clearly, unliked my pervious dentist. she gave me honest suggestions that usually people dont do the extraction unless it starts to bother. Unlike the other dentists that I visited before, she will not rush me do any decision. Not just knowledge she has high moral standards. After I had my xray done and understand my level of risk. I decided to to the extraction. The prodcure is quick with her skillful hand. And with the proper medication and clear post surgery instruction. I heal very well in 1 week. I would recommend Dr. Wang to all my family and friends , if they need a tooth surgical procedures. I saw some bad reviews about the front desk staff. Actually, they are okey. And remember Dr. Wang is the one to do the surgery for you. Why should i bother about the front desk staff. One more thing, I just notice Dr. Wang is a general surgeon while i am waiting in the room I saw the certificate. I am not sure about you, but which give me even more confidence. Anyway, big thank you to Dr. Wang. read more

We went to the Dr for my wife's tooth extraction. The staff at the reception was very nice and co-oprative. After filling up the forms, they showed a video which covered all the possible care needs to be take post surgery. I think this was a really good part. The tooth extraction was very quick and with minimum pain. The assistant to the Dr was very efficient and quick. We didn't had any problem regarding the payments too. Dr. Wang called my wife in the evening for doing post-surgery follow up. This was a very good thing we thought about the Dr. All in all I'm happy I took my dentist's recommendation to see Dr. Wang and would recommend her to very one. read more

i just had 4 wisdom teeth extracted this morning, and it was a good experience. so far, my cheeks are not puffy, and i haven't had to use painkillers even. i think dr. wang did a good job :) plus she is very bubbly so it eases some of the nervousness going into operation... one thing i do not like are the staff at the front. the nurse vickie is good/friendly and i like her, but i'd say everyone else is NOT friendly, it looks like they hate being there, or maybe they are all carrying their abundance of personal problems to the workplace. in any case, this review is more for dr. joy wang, and i would recommend her to others for wisdom teeth extraction.. so far no problems! read more

No one is perfect, even I am missing a lateral incisor. For all you anti-dentites, that's the tooth located next to what is commonly known as the two front teeth. This flaw in my vultus earned me the nickname "tooth" while playing rugby for Santa Clara University. After I put together the necessary scratch to marginally improve my appearance, I asked my general dentist for a referral to an oral surgeon. Given that my missing tooth was the result of genetics, I never had an adult tooth, my jaw bone hadn't fully developed to support said tooth, so my procedure wasn't necessarily standard. Regardless of the difficulties, Dr. Wang set an implant that resulted in no pain and mild swelling. The stitch did come out prematurely, but the bleeding had stopped and my gums did not require further stitches. Even Dr. Wang's poor stitches work wonders! My uncle is a dentist, so I asked him about Dr. Wang's pricing, and he thought it was reasonable. While a dental implant requires considerable payment, Dr. Wang's prices reflect the market and her work is fabulous. I don't think I will have to go back. read more

I got all four of my wisdom teeth out. I was a little nervous about it as I am a grown-up (well, sort of) and I heard it takes longer to heal the older you are. From start to finish Dr. Wang was friendly and understanding; they got me in quickly, my insurance paid for most of it (yay for MetLife preferred providers!) and I was amazed at how easy it was. I remember absolutely nothing about the procedure, which is precisely why I chose anesthesia! Dr. Wang and her staff have been very nice each time I've been in, and although I'm not thrilled to have four gaping holes in my mouth, that was sort of the goal, I guess. All in all I'm happy I took my dentist's recommendation to see Dr. Wang. read more

Today, our son had all four wisdom extracted by Dr. Joy Wang. Smooth-sailing -- completed within 30 minutes from check-in to finish. Office is organized and we like the fact that they provided anitbiotics and Ibuprofen so we don't have to go to our local drug store. Kathy at the front desk was great in handling all the paperwork and logistics, while Arlene, Dr. Wang's assistant was wonderful with post extraction instructions, care and follow-up. The entire experience was impressive. read more

Dr Wang, and her assistant Arlene are awesome. My second son just had his wisdom teeth removed by them, and let me tell you...the office is an upbeat and fun environment. Dr. Wang knows all the cool lingo which makes the kids feel at ease and understood. My kids were in and out in about 45 minutes, each one with smiles on their face as they leave. Arlene came out and updated me, made sure I understood everything, she was even walking patients out. Very competent and caring group. I highly recommend! read more

I have done a teeth implant a few years ago in another state and two with Dr. Wang. The experience is vastly different. The first one is a lengthy and painful process, and I lost that implant eventually. When I came to Dr. Wang, it only takes her a few minutes to put in the screw for the first step. I don't think anyone else can do a better job. read more

I had been there once with Dr. Wong. However, the whole experience was not great. In this situation, I won't be there except for toothache, but all I felt was so BUSINESS not caring. I just felt they cared about how much money I should pay and they didn't cares about my teeth. Anyway, I am disappointed with this experience. read more

i don't know how she could get three star! Will not visit again! I mentioned that i don't need something she recommend, then she became unhappy. Bad experience. read more

If you are looking for a kind and extremely knowledgeable Medical-Dental Practitioner, you can't go wrong with choosing Dr. Wang. She does what's in the best interest of the patient. She tries to make the experience as stress free as possible and one of the ways is by explaining the procedure at each step. She assesses you for any discomfort throughout the procedure and tries to be efficient, in order to not prolong the procedure. Dr. Wang exceeds the call of duty. She did something for me that I can't stop talking about. The office had to re-schedule me and were unable to reach me with the notification. When I arrived, Dr. Wang who was in her car, returned to the office to avoid having me make a second trip. Who does that, no one that I know and no one known by anyone to whom I have shared this story. The executive leadership of my hospital are in awe and would love to mimic Dr. Wang's customer service. I believe that she is not only a good human being but she is also a Harvard graduate and likely has benefited from a culture of excellence, which she strives to impart in her care of others. read more

Dr. Wang was great! She was super efficient in removing my wisdom teeth and the checkups were always in a timely manner. She also put my sister and I into her schedule last minute which was really kind of her. Great person and surgeon all in all. Recovery is 100%! read more

Dr Wang is simply amazing. I went on a consultation with her more than 2 years ago and finally decided to extract my wisdom teeth last month. She still remembered me and totally understood my anxiety toward the extraction. At time of the surgery, I got so nervous (for no reason), and she kept talking to me and distracted me from my fear. Within less than 5 min, both my wisdom teeth are gone and I didn't even realize that she's done! Now after a week, I have healed really well, following her and her nurse's instructions. Now knowing how easy she made it seem like, I just regretted that I didn't decide to this earlier. Don't hesitate to come see Dr Wang, if you have impaired wisdom teeth. I should've done it sooner. read more

(feedback for my son...) Dr. Wang took out my 3 wisdom teeth (only had 3). I had the local anesthetic which came into effect after around 15 minutes. The actual removal was only around 5 minutes or less. The removal process wasn't unbearable considering how short it was. Dr. Wang called me twice after the removal (the same day) to check up and give some extra advice. The medicine I was given had clear instructions and seemed to work well. read more

Hello everyone i was also seen at this office when i was 15 and had my wisdom teeth pulled. I brought my son now 17 years old again they did a great job on tending to my son and explaining to him how to care for himself. Also had a follow up with Joy and she asked my son if he had any concerns. This place is the best place and best service very clean and professional. I will recommend everyone that i know to come here for Oral surgery or even dental needs. Carly G. read more

Dr. Wang is probably my favorite medical practitioner in the Bay Area. I came here for two fairly major operations (she helped me avoid a root canal and installed an implant that my own dentist said was "impeccable") and Dr. Wang was both personable and knowledgable. She is very straight forward and to the point without making me feel like I was getting the run around. She let me know all of the risks involved up front and was able to quote me off the top of her head the day I came in. No surprises. My experience with this office has been nothing short of spectacular, and I have recommended her to my co-workers who also feel the same (and recommended her themselves). Operationally, Dr. Joy is incredibly fast and effective. Both times she operated on me, she finished way before I would have expected. I am writing this review a year after I went to her for oral work and there has not been any issues. Definitely recommend this office and Dr. Wang! read more

Excellent surgeon. Thorough and precise even with her follow through. Whether it's for you or your kids, take everyone here, you'll get everything handled perfectly. Five stars easily. read more

I was absolutely petrified to get my wisdom teeth out. I only had 3 but all of them needed to come out. From the first consultation I was calmed by Dr. Wang. She's funny and very very skilled and she told me I could do it under local no problem. I went back and forth for a few months between local and sedation and ended up choosing local when I showed up for my surgery. From the first injection of numbing the surgery took no more than 15 minutes, and the actual tooth removal took about 2 minutes. Her skill put me at ease and I got to go home sore but otherwise happy because I had no sedatives in my system. I'm thankful for Dr. Wang and her skill. She's no-nonsense but if you need teeth pulled this is the place read more

(posting for my daughter) Dr. Wang removed all four of my wisdom teeth on Friday. Since the bottom two were impacted, I decided to have the anesthesia to sleep through it. Dr. Wang put me at ease while I was awaiting to go under by telling some jokes. She took the teeth out real fast, in about 15min, but I was glad to have slept through it. We waited until I was awake enough to leave, and then Dr. Wang and Arlene helped me walk to the car. They both gave me good instructions to recover quickly. Dr. Wang called me later in the day to check on me. I had increasing pain on Monday, and even though the office was closed, Dr. Wang met me at the office to check on me and help me out. She also started to show me how to keep my teeth clean with the water syringes to speed the healing. I went back today to have them recheck my teeth. Dr. Wang and Arlene checked me thoroughly and gave me very detailed instructions on how to really keep my extraction sites clean, which is really important. I am looking forward to a full recovery and putting wisdom teeth behind me. Thanks Dr. Wang and Arlene! read more

Dr. Wang is the best! She took out all four of my wisdom teeth, and even though I was nervous, she made me feel very comfortable. She played my favorite music in the operating room, which made me feel more relaxed. I'm Filipino, and so is her assistant Donna, so they treated me like a family member. The procedure was over before I knew it. She's super fast. Since I opted for the IV sedation, I woke up and barely knew what happened. She must have done a good job because I barely had any swelling and was back to soccer practice before the week was over. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Wang for an implant procedure. I had my #4 tooth removed and it came out with very little pain with no complications or pain in the subsequent hours. She even made the false tooth for me as my dentist forgot to do it. Her "bedside" manner is second to none and she made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. I recently returned to have the titanium screw installed and once again it was flawless. Went in easy with no subsequent pain. This doc really knows her stuff and really cares for you with her skill, compassion and empathy. I have been to many dentists that are just hacks and caused my a great deal of pain. It really turned me off to my dental care. My only wish was that Dr. Wang also performed general dentistry! read more

I've been seeing Joy Wang for a few years now and I can't say enough good about her and her staff. First about her: she is the most caring and kind person I have had the good fortune to meet and be a patient of. A few years ago I had a terrible complication from an extraction done by by another dentist who shall go un-named, and I came to Joy for help as I had lost faith in that dentist. Joy immediately took charge of the situation and nurtured me back to health. It was about a year before I got back to normal, and Joy was there every step of the way, showing concern, even hugging me, etc. That really meant a lot to me, I felt safe and in good hands with her. Now as for actual work that I've had done by her, I've seen her for extractions and implants, and I must say, she is a pro. Every procedure is painless, quick, and nothing ever goes wrong. One gets the sense that she is truly one of the best out there. A word about her staff: Her key staff members have been with Joy for many years and they too are pros. Always kind, efficient, and great "chair-side" manners. I recommend Joy Wang with great enthusiasm. She is highly skilled and it shows, but beyond that, she has a heart of gold. She cares deeply about her patients. That meant a lot to me back when, and it means a lot to me now. In fact I just came back her office today, getting two extractions in preparation for implants. It was painless as usual, and quick. You won't find a better DMD/MD out there. I'm sticking with her for life. read more
