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.

I can't believe it's taken me so long to write this review…read more 5 super shiny gold stars for the entire team. Having the advantage of working in the dental field, you know who to trust your family, yourself and referrals to. From the moment you call, you are greeted with friendly and knowledgeable people who really go out of their way to accommodate you and help you with any questions you may have. Your every question will be answered and your mind will be set at peace before you have any treatment done. Dr. Stout is just amazing. He takes his time to explain EVERYTHING, which is super appreciated. I loved that he acknowledged my son's concerns and questions. Even though I am in the field, he acknowledged HIM as the patient. We just love him. The rest of his team is great, too. I've taken both my son's for wisdom teeth extractions and myself for treatment, too. Do not hesitate to schedule with him. You'll be in more than capable and caring hands.

This is a long one, so strap in! For anyone who wants the highlights: I wasn't briefed on…read moreanesthetic, I woke up during the procedure, it gave me nerve damage, and I was summarily and condescendingly dismissed. Dr. Farnad performed wisdom teeth extraction on me (all four) at my dentist's office and I can say with complete confidence it was the worst dental/medical experience I've ever been through. From minutes before the procedure to now weeks later it has been nothing short of traumatic. However, I have been reassured that my experience is 'completely normal' for this doctor, so I figured it would be in the best interest of anyone who wants to know that I share a little of what you might be in for! Before going into the exam room I was given multiple pages to fill out and sign, with the anesthetic portion left blank, I let the receptionist know that no one has discussed this with me so I didn't know what to write. She let me know that they would give me the full run-down when I got in with the doctor. Reader, this did not happen, sorry to say. I got into the room and within minutes monitors were placed and an IV needle was inserted into my arm. I'm not good with needles so I looked away when Dr. Farnad inserted the IV, and subsequently pushed whatever medicine it was that he gave me. Again, I want to stress, I had no idea whatsoever what was going to happen to me, so imagine my surprise when I WOKE UP in the middle of the operation. I learned later that I was given IV sedation, so I was never 'all the way out' but wherever I had gone during the first half of the extraction, I was definitely back. I remember every part of it: my hysterical sobbing, Dr. Farnad telling me to stop fighting him or it would take four hours, the male assistant brought in to hold my head still, my apologizing for fighting but 'it hurts so bad', then him giving me another shot in my mouth as he continued to have to break apart one of my wisdom teeth. At no point was it acknowledged that I was most definitely back in the room with them until afterward the assistant said, "huh, so THAT'S oral surgery," and when I responded saying that was an insane thing to announce to a patient, he commented to the other assistant "I'm surprised she's so alert," to which she said "Yeah, but she'll be out again as soon as she's in the car." Reader, again I have to inform you that this did not happen. Now we're weeks out from the surgery, and I'm experiencing absolutely mind blowing levels of nerve irritation in my chin. I went back in to speak with my dentist who let me know that it sounded like nerve damage, between the numbness and the painful tingling. (Note: the dentist brought up the nerve damage, not me.) Today I had the displeasure of going to a follow up with Dr. Farnad who showed up for our appointment an HOUR late. When I brought up the potential nerve damage he immediately dismissed me with a condescending "Oh so you let the internet scare you." Then he let me know that this kind of numbness and nerve pain was so common with his patients, he sees it all the time, and that the pain and numbness will be gone within the next two and a half months. He then asked the assistant for x-rays to see how it looked internally. This was when I really began to question his competence, because while looking at my x-ray he said: a) he left a cap in to not disturb the nerve, b) did not leave a cap in, he left a bunch of room for the nerve, c) was unable to tell if he had done a bone graft for me, and asked if I had paid for one to settle the matter. He then gave me his personal phone number and encouraged me to stay off the internet, because it's only going to scare me. Well sorry, I went back on the internet.

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.

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.

They never made me feel rushed or judged, and their kindness helped ease a fear I've carried for years.

When I initially went in, they took probably 50 x-rays to finally get a view of my teeth. Fine,…read morewhatever. After they cleaned my teeth, my gums began bleeding profusely. I never had that problem to any significant degree prior. We're talking... big time. For months, actually. I've had others suggest that perhaps their instruments were not being properly sanitized. I can't say that's true or untrue. What I do know is: when I went in again to get my front teeth fixed, they were confused apparently, and tried to make a mold of my upper, left side molars instead. I let them know, well, fine, just a mix-up. Okay. So they did the mold on my upper front teeth, left it too long, and when they pulled it out, it really hurt and ended up breaking more of my front right incisor. That really upset me. That they have, typically (at least the 3 times I was there) an advertisement in their waiting room for a "chance to win a vacation if you give us a positive review" speaks volumes of their actual competence. That means a lot of the positive reviews here on Yelp. People just hoping to win something. It's pretty shameful. I would recommend finding an actual dentist who knows what they're doing and doesn't try to bribe you into giving them a good review here. I'd 0 give them stars if I could.
