His assistant Virginia was so kind and attentive -- she could tell I was nervous and made sure I was comfortable before and during the procedure. Afterward, she didn't rush me out but told me to relax and even went to get my sister, Samiah, who came with me. Later, when I left, Nyjina from the office called to let me know I'd forgotten my favorite cup -- and moments later, I looked up to see Virginia walking toward me with it in hand. You have to love these people. Truly the best experience ever -- caring, professional, and genuine from start to finish!

I have a mini panic attack whenever I go to my normal dentist office (although they're all lovely as well- it's really a me thing, not a them thing). However, when I go to Great Oak Oral Surgery, I'm actually excited. I look forward to seeing Dr Farren, who handles himself with a calm composure and has gone above and beyond to help put any fears or anxieties I have at ease without judgement. Hilary, Mackenzie, and Meghan (surgical medical staff) have fun, contagious, uplifting personalities and humor. When you're with them, it's almost like you're with friends. It's not what you'd expect from an oral surgeons office, but it sets a high standard for all dentistry in our area- surgical or not. I live in Troy and work in Clifton Park and I am 100% not only willing but eager to drive to Albany for this practice. From the moment you're greeted by the lovely front desk staff who are patient and kind- to the surgical staff who can make you laugh in a situation most people wouldn't be able to- to Dr Farren, who goes the extra mile to make sure you are comfortable and happy with the results.

I recently had a visit at Dr. Choi's practice, and I must say, that I was extremely impressed with…read morethe quality of care. Dr. Choi and the staff were all courteous and professional. I was given a bottle of water to tide me over before my appointment. Little things like that make a big difference. I had an implant that had fallen into disrepair and was unusable. Dr. Choi had the arduous task of removing the implant close to the nerve. He was able to perform the task with a minimum of discomfort and time spent in the office. During the procedure, Dr. Choi was entertaining, personable, and humorous. I had a great time talking to him and the hygienist was actively engaged in her work and the conversation we were having. I normally don't get too ecstatic about dental procedures; however, he managed to make it a pleasant experience. We just clicked, and I felt the experience was rewarding. He gave excellent instruction for after care, which resulted in only a small amount of pain. His follow up appointment was quick and made me feel comfortable that everything went smoothly. I am really glad that my dentist (Dr. Erin Paige) recommended him. Bravo!

This is an incredible practice and I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Doriot…read more I am tremendously afraid of the dentist and didn't have my wisdom teeth removed as a teenager because they weren't causing me pain. When a tooth recently cracked, and I wanted to get a crown on it, I needed to have an impacted wisdom tooth removed so the crown could sit properly. Not surprisingly, my dental anxiety showed up immediately and in full force the moment I found out I was going to have to have not one, but three wisdom teeth removed. And this was after having a preventative root canal performed on the tooth that needed a crown. So a root canal, then the removal of three wisdom teeth, and then crown - proof that all bad things come in threes! Or. So. I. Thought. I went into my appointment today at 8 am and by 8:20 am the procedure had begun and by 9:30 it was finished. The person who recommended Dr. Doriot to me had all four of his wisdom teeth removed by him as well and said he never felt any pain during the recovery period. I thought this was perhaps a small exaggeration, after all, how can they rip teeth out of your head and have it be painless...especially after the drugs wear off. But, surprisingly, this was exactly my experience as well. I am writing this review about 12 hours after the procedure and I feel such indescribable relief due to having the procedure completed and being in no pain at any point in the process. The cherry on top of this perfect dental experience? Dr. Doriot called me on my cell phone a few minutes ago to ask me how I was feeling and to answer any questions I had about future dental care (of which I had many). I thanked him for the kind gesture and he said that he "can't sleep until he knows his patients are doing well." It is so readily apparent how much Dr. Doriot cares about both his patients and the quality of his work. In a world shifting to tele-health and requiring that doctors track their time in the way that lawyers handle their billable hours, Dr. Doriot is a refreshing throwback to a bygone age when the primary concern of medical practitioners was more about the patient experience rather than the vice grip placed on them by complying with the never-ending requirements placed on them by most insurance companies today. TL;DR: Had three wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Doriot 12 hours ago. I am a big baby, at no point was in any pain at all (fingers crossed) and Dr. Doriot called me personally to check in and answer any and all questions I have. You won't find a better oral surgery experience than the one offered by this practice.

The email I just sent to the office after multiple issues:…read more I don't usually email regarding this sort of thing, but I have to say I'm extremely disappointed. I've seen Dr.  Bayoumy as a patient a few times now and he's been phenomenal. So when my son needed a specialist to check his wisdom teeth I didn't even hesitate at requesting a referral for Dr. B for him as well.  Unfortunately, with my own appointments and now my son's, the office staff has dropped the ball too many times. Focusing only on the current issue with my son; not only did his dentist have to send the referral twice to even get them to schedule the appointment in the first place, the day after confirming his appointment (almost a month after making the appt) I received a follow up confirmation text for a completely different appointment time. When I called to ask why I was getting a confirmation text for a different time, I was told "I don't know, do you want the new appointment, or no?" completely dismissing my inquiry as to why nobody called me to request or confirm the reschedule. As to not further delay him getting checked, I agreed.  Less than 24 hours later, at 7:30am the day of the appointment, I received a text asking if I had a copy of the referral. I explained that I did not, because it was sent directly before they would even let me schedule the appointment in the first place. I was then told they didn't have it and would "try to get it" before his appointment that I've now had to take a whole day off of work for. I'd had this happen at my original appointment which delayed my appointment by almost a week so I told them to cancel the appointment.  I've been a medical receptionist for 3 years. This is not only inconsiderate, but honestly just flat out poor patient care. Again, Dr. Bayoumy is amazing, which is why I've tolerated the consistent incompetence by office staff in regards to insurance, scheduling, and communication, but I'm afraid we will be seeking care elsewhere.  I'm sure losing one or two patients won't hurt you guys (not my intention), but as previously stated, as someone who works in healthcare, it's careless and just disappointing.

I scheduled a new patient appointment four months in advance, only to have it canceled through a…read moretext message with less than 24 hours notice. I completely understand that things like staff call-outs happen, but the way this was handled was disappointing. When I called to reschedule, the earliest available appointment was another month out. I asked if I could be prioritized for an earlier opening given that my appointment was canceled on their end, but no accommodations were offered beyond being placed on a general cancellation list. It's frustrating because patients are typically charged fees for late cancellations, yet there doesn't seem to be the same level of accountability or effort to make things right when the office cancels last-minute. Unfortunately, this experience has led me to take my business elsewhere. I would recommend confirming how this office handles scheduling disruptions before booking.
