From the start, Dr. Gronbach's staff was thorough and caring. They responded to my calls and called me back same day. All of the nurses made feel comfortable. I could see they have been taking care of patients for many years. Dr. Gronbach was personable and caring too. He was present at my consultation and he asked me many questions about my health and past medications. I didn't feel rushed or like a number. I felt really important to them. The procedure went off perfectly and I was home within an hour. Thanks, Dr. Gronbach and staff. read more

I'm very unhappy with my experience. At my first initial appointment, I got the classic X-Ray covered by insurance. The oral surgeon Dr. Gronbach came in to review it with me, and he told me there were visible nerves in the X-Ray and wanted to do a more extensive 3D X-ray to be sure the exact position of the nerves. This extra X-Ray was $322 not covered by insurance, and I agreed to it based off fear they would hit one of my nerves. After the 3D X-Ray, I never saw Dr Gronbach again, a young dental assistant came into my room and said "You're all good". It was very unsettling that I felt coerced into this 3D X-Ray and never even got the Doctor who ordered it to review the scan and confirm my nerves weren't in the way of my wisdom teeth. When it came to the day of the surgery, I saw Dr. Gronbach for the first time right before he was about to start my surgery and put me under. I brought up this issue and that I was concerned about paying $322 for an extra X-Ray when he would just send an assistant in to tell me "You're good". His exact response to me bringing this up was to turn to another assistant and say "Give her more gas". A few days after my surgery was complete, it became clear I had no feeling in about an inch of the back left side of my gum. I brought this up at my follow-up appointment, and Dr. Gronbach confirmed they "knicked the nerve", the same thing that this $322 3D X-Ray was supposed to prevent. I asked about the process to re-gain nerve feeling in the effected part of my gum, and he said verbatim that it will take awhile to grow back, and if it doesn't end up healing "I hope its not too annoying to live with". This response was not only unprofessional, it felt demeaning. I am a 24 year old at the appointments with no parental figure and was not taken seriously. And because of this I still have an inch of my gums feeling like the Novocain never wore off. This is incredibly disappointing not only in lack of awareness during surgery but also the fact that I felt I had to pay extra to avoid any nerve problems that happened anyway. All dental assistants and front desk staff were lovely. read more

From the moment I called to schedule an appointment for my dad, Dr. Gronbach & team have provided us with the BEST care! They are sincere & kind professionals that do everything with excellence from communicating key details, sending reminders and providing dad with tender loving care. My dad feels much better after having all the work done that was needed - and after surgery the Dr. has called to check in on dad to ensure he's recovering post-op in the right direction! The office is in a great location, ample parking and their office is beautifully maintained and cozy! I feel with Dr. Gronbach my dad has THE BEST ORAL SURGEON and that brings me peace of mind and comfort. Thank you Dr. Gronbach and team! read more

Got all 4 wisdom teeth removed at Dr gronbachs office. I can't rave enough about the care I received! The staff were so nice answered any questions I had. Dr Gronbach truly does have magic hands. I felt almost no pain after the procedure. I was expecting the worst and it actually wasn't bad. Definitely go here for any kind or oral surgery. read more

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Gronbach for wisdom tooth removal. I used IV sedation and the procedure was all a breeze. Everything was complete in an hour. After going home, I was expecting to experience pain. Surprisingly there was NO PAIN at all!!!! The bleeding had stopped shortly as well. Dr. Gronbach truly has magical hands! His staff is wonderful as well. I highly recommend Dr. Gronbach. Thank you Dr. Gronbach and your team for a great experience to a patient with dental procedure phobia! read more

It's never supposed to be a good time when I go to see Gronbach but somehow what could have been very uncomfortable and high-stress, was instead easy. He even let me turn up the music in the room! Hopefully there isn't much more oral surgery in my future (2 visits so far), but if there is, I will go back to Gronbach without hesitation. read more

I went in nervous due to a couple bad experiences in the past, Dr. Gronbach was very comforting and reassuring! We were able to take care of my dental issues all within one visit, which was great! The day after my visit, Dr. Gronbach personally called to check on how I was doing, that made a world of difference. I'm used to medical doctors doing a check in or having their nurses do it but an oral surgeon?? Definitely something I've never experienced and it made things an 100/10 for me! Left me with the greatest impression! read more

My daughter had all 4 of her wisdom teeth removed and we couldn't have asked for a better office and of course Dr. Gronbach was fantastic!! He explained everything and he and his staff were very helpful and made this a very easygoing experience for my daughter who was soooo nervous and scared beforehand. I want to thank Dr. Gronbach and his Staff again for being so good at what they do!!!!! read more

I had a tooth extracted here. I arrived at 11:30, was done by 12:10 and out by 12:20. The whole team was friendly and helpful and when I got in the chair there were 3 people all getting things set up in parallel, letting me know what diodes were doing and what certain beeps meant. I felt they treated me with care and respect and did a very fine job keeping me calm (I have had bad experiences in a dentist's chair and was a little nervous). When I came-to, they wheeled me out to the car and gave me a care package containing a bunch of small things I might need or want: applesauce, tea, gauze, a mug, a printout of the post-extraction steps. Later that night I got a call from the dentist asking me how I was doing, and letting me know that they have a 24 hour line if I need anything or if I have any questions. I had one stitch from the procedure, but by the next day I didn't feel any discomfort or pain. I'm impressed. read more

I had a great experience with Dr. Gronbach and his staff. He was extremely friendly during consultation and thoroughly went over the details with me. He cared a lot and made sure I understand everything and what to expect. I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed at once last week. The recovery was painless but I was very swollen due to my two impacted teeth on the bottom. I highly recommend Dr. Gronbach's office read more

Dr Gronbach is an absolute best Oral surgeon. His bedside manners are implacable. We just had our 3rd child's wisdom teeth extracted (so did the older two) and it was a complicated one, but he came home with no swelling and very little pain. Thank you Dr Gronbach and Staff for everything. read more

I truly feel that every effort was made to make me as informed and comfortable as possible! Words cant say how thankful I am for the help of Dr Gronbach and staff! They were very responsive with my post-op concerns ( for the record absolutely nothing went wrong, I am just a worry wort by nature!) read more

Now getting schedled for 6th and 7th implants. Everyone has been a total success and I have a great smile with a mouth full of teeth. Everyone is helpful and reassuring and they have been felt my fear and my everything has gone perfectly read more

Like most people my age, my wisdom teeth needed to be removed as 2 of them were impacted. After months of trying to find an oral surgeon, my mom and I stumbled upon Dr Gronbach. Not only were his reviews good but he didn't overcharge like a lot of other places did. He and his staff were very friendly and more than willing to explain what my procedure would be like. I was extremely nervous as I was to have general anesthesia, but the Gronbach team was very reassuring. They were always asking if I was okay the whole time even if the laughing gas prevented me from replying properly. They even called once I got home to make sure I was doing okay. I'm very happy that I went to them for such a big procedure. Thank you Dr. Gronbach and team! read more

I got some wisdom extracted here a few years ago. During my pre-op, he asked me if any of my friends had had their wisdom teeth out. When I told him that yes, some of them had, he asked me "so do you know if they were under completely or if it was just local anesthesia?" He asked it like he was legitimately trying to find out what he was supposed to do. Like it was his first time. It might well have been, because a week after surgery I was in the hospital with a dry socket, where they prescribed me elephant-grade antibiotics. Also, instead of giving me Vicodin, he gave me Percocet. Percocet is a hell of a drug, let me tell you. My jaw is still permanently fucked up. read more

I was referred to Dr. Gronbach by my dentist for the removal of my wisdom teeth. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience there. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I had delayed getting my wisdom teeth pulled out and was in quite a bit of pain but they worked with me to fit me in as soon as possible. Dr. Gronbach himself was fantastic! He went over the whole procedure with me; what I should expect the day of the surgery and the days following. He is definitely an expert at what he does; I was without any pain within 24 hours of getting 4 wisdom teeth pulled! Dr. Gronbach and his staff are fantastic; I've already recommended him to a couple friends! read more

This was our 13 year old daughter's first experience with having a major dental procedure. She has never even had a cavity before so we were nervous about dental surgery. We were also concerned about anesthesia so Dr. Gronbach listened to our concerns, explained several options and we decided on something we were all comfortable with. Our daughter just had her follow up appointment and we are very pleased with the whole experience. We will definitely use Dr. Gronbach again and recommend him! read more

I had two implants done by Dr Gronbach. I went into the procedure with a fair amount of apprehension due to my wife's experience with a different oral surgeon a couple of years ago. Dr. Gronbach and staff was very understanding in assuring me that it would be a painless procedure. I dropped my request for a general anesthetic and had the procedure done with just a local. The procedure and the follow up went extraordinarily well. I didn't even need to use the 6 pain pills prescribed. As good as it gets! read more

I was referred to Dr Gronbach's office yesterday - I had exposed bone in my jaw and it hurt!! His staff worked me in today, he performed surgery and I am on the mend! Dr Gronbach presented me with 3 treatment options, and answered all of my questions. He was extremely well-versed and knowledgeable, and as I elected to do the most invasive of the procedures, I was very impressed by his surgical skills. An awesome doctor with great skills, wonderful staff and willing to work emergency type patients in!!! What more could one ask for! I know who will be removing my teens wisdom teeth in the future! read more

Amazing, amazing, amazing 5 stars why not 10!?! The front staff gives the warmest welcome and makes you feel like you are family. Never in my life had I been scared or nervous about seeing a dentist until I was referred to see dr gronbach. Boy was i wrong. This was the best referral ever as I felt the warmth right off the bat. The staff made sure everything would go flawless and it exceed even that. Dr gronbach greeted me professionally made sure I knew everything about what was going on and treated my mouth with most care. Surgery went smooth and now sad he can't do more work on my mouth. Highly recommended and would strongly encourage all other general dentist to use him as a referral doctor. read more

Dr. Gronbach is the best! He is such a professional. He makes you feel at ease and I feel I am in confident hands with him. I am a 93 year old patient and he is the best Dentist I have ever had. read more

I had my 4 wisdom teeth removed in this office. I had the best expirience of my life the staff is extreemly friendly, the doctor as well. Very professional very clean.

This office is very professional and the staff is so friendly, they make you feel right at home. Dr Gronbach is great, he really knows his stuff. He is conservative when appropriate but won't compromise the well being of his patients. I've been a patient for several years now and would refer family and close friends to him without any hesitation. This is a top notch practice !!! read more

I arrived 15 minutes early and it was still 20 minute after the appointment time when the doctor finally came in. Pretty bad for a 10-minute consultation appointment. Not impressed. read more

We had an excellent experience with Dr. Gronbach and staff. Our 14-year old son had all four wisdom teeth extracted last week. While an experience like this is never a walk in the park, my son immediately liked Dr. Gronbach and formed a quick connection with him -- to the point that he hopes to see him again, although socially through water polo! Throughout the process, Dr. Gronbach kept us meticulously informed and made sure to personally check up on our son the evening after the procedure. We felt we were in the best hands possible. Also of note - his office, in our experience, ran like clockwork - he was always on time and the members of his team were friendly and competent. If another issue comes up, there's no question where we'll be going. Thank you East Bay Oral Surgery! Highly recommend! read more

I was nervous about the "shadow" in my jawbone that my dentist identified. She sent me to Dr. Gronbach's office, a place I knew well, as both our daughters had their wisdom teeth out under Dr. Gronbach's care. Now unexpectedly it was my turn. As always the front desk staff was very courteous and accommodating both on the phone and in person. Dr. Gronbach and all of his support staff are calm, professional, and focused. I never felt like I was being multi-tasked. Dr. Gronbach went through all of the details of the procedure and answered all of my questions. Yes, I was still a bit nervous, but not scared. Upon waking up after the procedure I was well taken care of by assistants and got clear instructions on next steps. Before leaving Dr. Gronbach came by to see how I was doing and to answer questions. Later that day he called to see how I was holding up and gave his number in case I needed guidance over the weekend. My daughters and I have received extraordinary and caring service from Dr. Gronbach and his team. Our experience was of the highest quality and we highly recommend Dr. Gronbach to everybody.

My daughter had her wisdom teeth extracted by Dr. Gronbach several years ago. She had several problems after the surgery -- particularly pain and swelling in her lower jaw which required additional treatment. He placed antibiotic "tape" in the hole in her gum. He later had a very difficult time extracting the tape since the gum had started to grow over it, which caused additional pain. After about a month, she had more pain and swelling in the same area, even though the gum had completely healed. She saw several other ortho surgeons who took xrays and suggested that if she didn't get over the pain soon, they would suggest exploratory surgery to open up the cavity to see if there was tape residue or something which was causing the swelling. After taking several rounds of strong antibiotics, the swelling and pain finally subsided. read more

Excellent experience with my 16 year old daughter. Impressed with pricing, discounts and pre-care. Preemptive antibiotics were key as was follow up and post care. My daughter got through 4 wisdom teeth extractions with minimal distress, so grateful. read more

I had my wisdom teeth removed by Dr Gronbach last week. I have always been seen in good time. Friendly professional staff. Good experience on the day of the surgery and with my pre and post operative care. I would definitely recommend this clinic. read more

I got my four wisdom teeth taken out and I am 29 years old. Based on my age the surgery was not easy! I was a bit afraid before my surgery - but surgeon Keith Gronbach and his staff- answered all my questions and explained everything so patiently. The day of my surgery went so smoothly- they did an excellent job! No strong pain! Very minimum pain. I only took the Tylenol or Advil (can't remember which of the two) took it for a week mainly for the inflammation. Never needed the strong pain med! Recovery went well- tip: make sure to do the cold and hot presses on your face!! They do help the swelling to go away. About a month after my surgery, it was a Sunday THE FOURHT OF JULY (I was sure Dr. Gronbach was not going to see me until Tuesday -the day the clinic was going to open) I called Keith Gronbach - Bc I was afraid I had an infection - and he kindly offered to see me on that very same day!! A holiday!!, it ended up just being an irritation on that side -probably due to something I ate or wasn't cleaning well. Nothing serious ..but of course I was freaking out for nothing lol. I apologized for making him come into the office during a holiday-but he was so sweet and kind - he said it was fine and that he is glad it wasn't anything serious! He gave me more tips on how to get a deeper clean. If you are looking for a surgeon who is honest, kind, great at his job with tons of experience! This is the right place read more

I cracked my molar nearly in half yesterday while having lunch and mistakenly bit down on a small piece of bone. The pain was sharp, indescribable and nauseating. There was no way that I could go through the rest of the day with that tooth in my mouth! Thankfully my husband was there and he quickly called the oral surgeons around the area and Dr. Gronbach's office was able to fit me in that same afternoon to remove the tooth. We got to the office and the staff that greeted me were all very nice. They clearly understood that I was in severe pain. They were able to squeeze me in and I didn't have to wait very long to see Dr. Gronbach. After taking some x-rays, examining the tooth and asking me some questions, Dr. Gronbach proceeded with the surgery to remove the cracked molar. They offered me some laughing gas free of charge to help me relax probably because they felt sorry for me. Remember, I was in SEVERE pain. The procedure lasted longer than expected because the roots of the tooth were what they described as "torturous". The extraction wasn't cheap, but I didn't expect anything to be a bargain in the Lamorinda area. It wasn't unreasonable either so I was fine with it. I was impressed by how efficient the office was, how quickly they accommodated me, how friendly everyone was and I felt taken care of in an emergency situation. Dr. Gronbach took pictures of the tooth in addition to the x-rays and wanted to make sure that my primary dentist wouldn't think that he extracted the tooth for no good reason. Believe me, there was no way around it. I felt the crack with my tongue and it went way down beyond the gum line. Still, it was very thorough of him to make sure my dentist understood what had happened. It you are ever so unfortunate as to have a cracked tooth, call Dr. Gronbach's office. They will take good care of you! read more

I had to take my 13 year old daughter to see Dr. Gronbach to have a difficult procedure done. Not only was her experience good, she had minimal healing time and discomfort. Dr. Gronbach made her feel comfortable, explained everything in detail, and was very kind. His staff/team were so friendly and gentle as well! We will be going back if ever needed! read more

Dr. Gronbach explained his diagnosis and procedures clearly and with a calm demeanor. His office staff and assistants made our daughter feel comfortable, and she had a positive experience. We are pleased we went with East Bay Oral Surgery. read more

My son had the need for oral surgery as recommended by his orthodontist. Dr. Grombach was one of the many oral surgeons I was given to choose from. Upon meeting him, I knew that my family made the right choice. My son's surgery went without a hitch and his recovery was speedy. I highly recommend this oral surgeon. read more

Christian's experience was awesome. Everyone was super nice, comforting, and - important for a busy mom - exactly on time!

Great place! I had an awesome experience while coming here for the removal of my wisdom teeth. I was super nervous during the beginning and they did a fantastic job easing my nerves and telling me the full ropes of the procedure. The assistants were helpful when it came to the laughing gas and told me exactly what to do. They then escorted me to my vehicle and were very patient! I recommend this place for any procedure, great people! read more

Dr. Gronbach and his staff are truly amazing. My 7 year old daughter had a fibroma on her inner lip. Dr. Gronbach and his staff were true pros. They were amazing in their skills and treated my daughter as if she were their own. I had consultations with other dental teams and none were as professional as Dr. Gronbach's team. They handled the procedure with a quick appointment and my daughters' lip looks amazing. Cannot thank this wonderful team enough. read more

I could not believe how painless the extraction was and I was amazed at not having any swelling or pain following the procedure. I have had many teeth pulled in the past but this was by far the best care I received. The follow up call a few hours after my procedure was appreciated. The staff was extremely nice and accommodating for my scheduling changes and the dental assistant was extremely thorough and comforting. After this procedure, I am not afraid of considering implants. Thank you Dr. Gronbach. read more

From beginning to end, this was an exceptional experience for me. I went to see Dr. Gronbach for a "spot" at the back of my mouth. The first time I went into the office, I was greeted with a smile and a warm welcome. When I was taken back into the exam room, the assistant taking my information was equally warm and was engaging me as a person and not a necessary element of her job. Dr. Gronbach himself listened to my background, did a thorough visual exam and then gave me options, while simultaneously allaying my fears. I opted to have it removed. The day of the surgery, I was greeted by the front desk as if I was a long-time favorite patient, even though I'd only been there once. The surgery itself was easy and painless. Later that night, Dr. Gronbach called personally to see how I felt. Honestly, I wish all of my doctor visits were like this! The post-surgery follow up visit was more of the same. Really a great doctor, staff and office! read more
