Okay, if you are anything like me, you are here on Yelp reading reviews mostly because you are suffering from severe anxiety about getting oral surgery. I know I was a frequent visitor on this yelp page, and also reading strangers' accounts about their wisdom tooth removal experience ad nauseam. So this will be a two-part review -- one about how wonderful Dr. Lew and his staff are, and two basically the experience I had and hopefully, it can help YOU dear reader alleviate a bit of your anxiety. I had an amazing experience. Echoing every review here, the staff was so caring and empathetic. And that MATTERS A LOT. Liz was wonderful, the nurse/ medical assistant that was with me was so caring and amazing (stupid me can't remember her name right now). It was a little weird because of covid. My consultation was over a zoom... which wasn't the worst thing in the world but of course in the back of my mind I'm like, "without looking at the teeth, does it REALLY need to come out". My wisdom teeth had grown in without much drama, but over the years, the upper teeth have gotten some decay on them because it's REALLY DIFFICULT to clean them. I'd been getting headaches for years, because when they became inflamed, they would hurt my sinus and then BOOM a migraine to ruin my day or even WEEK. My dentist (Dr. Ellis Wong who is great!!) recommended they come out (which made my heart stop), and recommend Dr. Lew. And I'm grateful for the recommendation! After the procedure, I was not in any pain at all. No swelling. My left side of my mouth doesn't even feel like the tooth came out yesterday!! Dr. Lew is a master at this, and my results show!! My insurance was out of network but his office is doing an amazing job at dealing with my insurance and getting some payment out of them. I did have to pay upfront and I'm fortunate enough to have had some savings. It wasn't like super-duper expensive out of pocket but it was a chunk of change. Honestly, it was worth every penny, this is something you don't want to skimp on if you can help it. Come here for your oral surgeon needs, you won't regret it!!!! I would give 6, 7, 8, 10 stars if I could!!!!! Okay the review portion is complete, now for my nervous nellies, continue to read. So, I was a nervous wreck. I've never gone under anesthesia before in my life. I have INTENSE anxiety, especially when it comes to anything medical. I had some medical drama when I was 3 so I guess that has really imprinted on me as an adult. I wasn't so nervous about the teeth coming out as I was about the anesthesia. Fear of not being in control and the unknown. I was so scared, I cried the night before just so you know where I stood. The nurse/medical assistant that helped me was a literal angel. When I went into the room, I told her I was nervous, and she offered to hold my hand if I needed it. There were two other anesthesiologists in the room and I could see they had serious equipment and weren't just 'randomly injecting me' (idk what I was thinking, like a tranq dart to the neck or something?? LOL). Seeing all the equipment really helped take my anxiety down a few notches (as funny as that sounds). I was brave, got on the chair, and finally met Dr. Lew in person. So professional, nice, but like you could just tell he knew his shit but somehow was so respectful at the same time!! I'm in awe, haha. He explained everything that was going to happen. They gave me the IV and sprayed it with some cold spray and I didn't even feel it go in my arm. sidenote--- I had a freaking IV IN MY ARM for like 30+ mins and I HAVE NO BRUISING. I just got my blood drawn a few weeks ago, and the person at my drs office wasn't gentle with me and I had massive bruising for 2 weeks from a simple blood draw, but again, in AWE, I bruise easily. That means they really took care and were gentle with me. The first stuff in the IV was some 'anti-swelling medicine. Honestly no clue what it was, I was still feeling nervous because it wasn't the anesthesia stuff. But I barely swelled so I guess it did its job!! Dr Lew stepped out for a moment and came back in a helmet (maybe covid protection). He then told me he was going to give me a small dose of the anesthesia stuff and asked me to describe how it felt. Honestly, this technique was GENIOUS. I've been told by friends that they usually have you count... but feels a little out of your control. (felt like a STRONG AF edible!!! lol) When I explained to him how I felt, I felt like I had some agency. Then I remember laughing at the fact his helmet reminded me of an Among Us character, and then the next moment I was in a wheelchair being wheeled out. (which I thought was amazing since I was still high) I gave the nurse a hug, I was so grateful for her kindness. And that was it!! if you are reading this, got this! xoxoxo One last thing, I've literally just been on basic Motrin, the pain is min, and way less pain than the headaches they gave me in the past read more

The best! Caring, smart, meticulous, a great doctor. Highly recommend. No need to look further than Dr. Lew

Who gives any surgeon five stars??? I had four bony, impacted wisdom teeth and was suffering for months in pain. I went on yelp to find Dr. Lew and was a bit nervous because there were only 5 reviews, but they were all 5 star. Hmm. It certainly peaked my interest and frankly, at that point I'd had it with the pain. I had to throw in my fear towel and make the appointment. The thought of surgery in my 30's freaked me out because thankfully I haven't needed any. I made an appointment for the consult and the receptionist handled me with care and made me feel at ease. The following week I met with Dr. Lew, he has such a cool and informative demeanor which can also easy your fear. In the consult Dr. Lew went over x-rays, explained everything to me in thorough detail, gave me a print out of what to expect, told me complication possibilities and the like. We booked the surgery for 2 weeks out in Jan. A week before he called in the prescriptions to my closest drug store so I wouldn't have to bother with it after surgery. Surgery day: Scared to death of being put under, he had me laughing and then I was out. I woke up in a wheel chair and next my best friend drove me back to her house and I passed out. That first day was super duper hazy, but I kept being awakened to have my gauze removed, ice pack changed, take my Motrin and antibiotics. I ended up not even needing the real pain killer! YESSSS! I was so happy it was over and I was in less pain than I was when I started. I've had all of my post surgery check ups and I've made it!!! I am so grateful I was put in Dr. Lew's hands because with all of the complications that could've happened with me being at moderate risk. I would recommend this Dr. Lew and staff to all. I don't have insurance and that wasn't special enough to receive a serious discount! hahaha. So what I'm saying is basically, it's worth every penny, arm and leg! read more

Dr. Lew and his staff are so incredibly deserving of a 5-star review that 5 stars don't even seem like enough! Right from the beginning I was greeted with a smile and TREATED LIKE I WAS VERY IMPORTANT. This mattered a lot to me after going to a couple of different dentists who were treating my mouth like a sales room floor. Dr. Lew calmly and thoroughly explained everything that he was doing during my inital scan and exam. After setting the date for my wisdom teeth extraction, he discussed how the entire procedure was going to go, including anesthesia, and eliminated any nerves I had about this surgery. After having my procedure, Dr. Lew and his staff even reached out and called to see if I was feeling OK! 8 days after having my bottom two wisdom teeth removed and I am healing like a pro! Thank you Dr. Lew and team! read more

I had been putting off my severely impacted wisdom teeth extraction until the age of 41. I haven't had a surgery before, even as minor as these are supposed to be, so I was definitely a bit freaked out over it. I also don't have any dental insurance and the cost of these procedures were a bit of a deterrent as well. Earlier this year, I encountered severe pain from a molar next to one of my wisdom teeth becoming infected due to me being unable to properly clean my molars because of those wisdom teeth. That molar actually became mobile causing me to be unable to chew on that side at all. I went to my cousin, who is a dentist, and he referred me to Dr. Kevin Lew. My cousin said that there were other places I could go that would be cheaper, but if I wanted the procedure done by someone very skilled and that would do a top notch job, I should go to Dr. Lew. Needless to say, being worried about the procedure already, I took my cousins advice and went to the place he felt would do the best job for me. I had to have an initial consultation where I was asked many questions and also had x-rays taken. The entire thing was very thorough and informational. Dr. Lew and his entire staff were very friendly and took the time to explain everything to me. They were already making me feel better about choosing to have my procedure there. During the lead up to the surgery, Heather, the surgery coordinator kept in touch with me to guide me on the things I needed to do to prepare for the operation in advance. The morning of the operation and I am now pretty anxious and nervous. The two ladies assisting with the operation were great and really made me feel more at ease. They got me all set up in the chair and ready for IV Sedation. If you are nervous about having your wisdom teeth procedure, IV Sedation helps greatly! Dr. Lew kept the mood light by cracking a few jokes here and here and explaining everything that was going on while he was inserting the IV. Once the sedative hit, I basically entered a dream like state where I basically had an idea of what was going on but not really present for it. The operation lasted about an hour I believe but to me, it felt like 30 seconds maybe. I don't remember most of it, except for like me mumbling something to Dr. Lew for those 30 seconds and I don't remember what it was about. My next memory is getting into the car and then blanked out again and then remember being in bed. It's been about 7 hours now since I have had the procedure done and I took some advil right when I first came home and another does 2 hours ago. I was prescribed a stronger pain killer from Dr. Lews office but I havent needed it yet and am actually surprised how little pain I am feeling. I don't have any other explanation for that other than Dr. Lew being highly skilled and leaving the smallest amount of damage possible behind during my surgery. Now I just need to do my part to avoid the dreaded "dry socket" If I had to do his procedure all over again, I would feel completely at ease now knowing how it went. The hardest part is actually sitting here right now smelling the delicious food being cooked up at home but knowing I won't be able to eat any of it for a few days. Thank you Dr. Lew and your staff for taking great care of me! read more

WOW. Kevin Lew and his team are just wonderful. They hit it on the dot when it comes to professionalism, thoroughness and charisma and that is what I look for in a practice. Background: I made an appointment for a date later in June but I told them of my situation ( possible infection of the wisdom tooth and swelling in the throat and gums) and they told me they would call me when the first cancellation would occur. I got in today. Walkthrough: I was greeted by the receptionist who was so lovely and walked me through the first time patient paperwork. Then I was taken in the back almost immediately to get a panorama x-ray of my teeth. Then I went into another room to speak to the doctor and the dental associate. Kevin Lew walks you step by step on what is going on with your teeth. He explains with visuals of my situation and the next steps. From there Linda the financial manager explains in the most simple but thorough manner of what the total procedure will cost + what the insurance will cover + what the patient is responsible for. This for me was hands downs excellent service. I hate it when I go to an office and they don't explain your payments or give you a very detailed but confusing sheet. So this was a nice surprise. Once I get the OK from my doctor I wil be going in fo rmy surgery and will have an update post operation :) read more

Dr Lew deserves all of the 5 star reviews he has on here. If you are looking for a wonderful, attentive, and caring doctor he is the right one. I had initially seen him because my gums by one of my wisdom teeth was getting infected. After reviewing my X-ray, he advised to get all 4 wisdom teeth out. 3 out of 4 were impacted! I was in school at the time and had some final presentations to do, so he advised me to wait until the school year was over to get them out. The whole process was amazing for me, a person who is so terrified of dentists and oral surgeons. My surgery went perfectly and healed nicely, and that is coming from someone who was terrified of a dry socket. Everyone in the office is so personable to ensure that everyone gets the highest quality of care and I definitely felt that. I can't recommend Dr Lew enough! read more

Dr. Lew and his team are the greatest! They really went above and beyond my expectations. I had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted and I couldn't imagine a better team. They were very personable, professional, helpful, and informative. If woke up one day with all my teeth magically grown back (I'm joking) -- I would call them and do it all over again (not joking about that)! read more

Well, the most fearful, painful, apprehensive part of going to have some teeth pulled was the journey in the Uber to Dr Lew. No coffee, no breakfast and my imagination running riot having had to wait six months due to high blood pressure issues delayed my final appointment. So I arrived at his bright and cheery office a bit of a gibbering idiot. However within minutes his wonderful staff and reception had me feeling calmer and after a couple of signatures and not the usual biography and last will sat down to wait for my appointment because in my excitement to get there I had arrived terribly early. I also had to wait for my daughter to arrive who was to drive my inert body home. Into the surgery I go, the doctors nurse very cheery followed by the Doctor. Doctor Lew is young, very fit looking cheery, humorous explains every last detail in a no nonsense effortless manner. I was to have an IV that he ASSURED me I would feel the needle entering and then slowly fade away (hopefully temporarily) and in a flash be back in the land of the living. The nurse springs on me suddenly with a 'freeze spray' now I haven't seen one of these since a couple of my kids have had surgery in the passed and nurses used them to freeze areas being punctured by needles. They are wonderful and sure enough I couldn't feel any needles going in anywhere.. I have blood tests a lot (no freeze sprays) and usually the nurses involved say, "you haven't drunk enough water to inflate your veins." Or "Your veins are so tiny we will have to send you UPSTAIRS....." This turns my stomach to ice of course as I wend my way UPSTAIRS to a deserted green room that looks like something from a Hammer horror hospital set. A large chair that looks to be used as an execution facility out of office hours sits in the middle of the room and a small balding pebble glassed person jumps up surprised whilst reading a true detective mag. I'm strapped in and the small person starts chatting and preparing bottles and syringes. The small person is of course some sort of magician and I say "Is this going to hurt?" The person says "Oh its all finished, sign here..." As they take away about an armful of blood in small jars. Extraordinary... Anyway I come around from my 4 tooth extractions, there were supposed to be 3 but a wisdom tooth made a rude appearance, not only that my poor old teeth had fallen apart as the Doc had begun to remove them making a dentists job harder and increasing my visit by an hour and a half. Dr Lew explained the gums would bleed but my mouth was full of gauze and bleeding was ceasing as the minutes went by (we are not talking a lot here) and I was to take the pills I had been prescribed along with a mouthwash once home. The point here is I was shocked at not just a lack of pain but I couldn't feel anything and needed to have a gentle feel around to make sure the old gnashers had actually vacated the premises. Once home I was parked on the sofa by the darling daughter feeling a trifle gaga (but I am 68) so nothing new and decide to spend the afternoon with a painkiller (well they had been prescribed after all) watching NARCOS. Five episodes later the bleeding and gauze changing stopped, again we're not talking a lot here, but above all NO PAIN. I'm not talking uncomfortable, throbbing, twinges....NOTHING. In spite of some brilliant acting and gory descriptions and insisting on viewing the damage, my wife could sense straight away I was in no agony at all so the sympathy knob was turned right down of course and I spent the evening as if nothing had happened convinced I would wake up in the night screaming. I had another pill (well there is a whole bottle of them..) after using the pleasant mouthwash and baby toothbrush I had been given and retired. I slept like a baby to wake, painless, and as if nothing had occurred. I won't bang on any more but I have had more painful visits to the barber and I have had teeth cleanings that have sent me through the roof so to have had a dentist visit such as this blows my mind. I have since had a lenghty call from the doctor to check on my condition and will be going back in a week for a check up..I cannot recommend Doctor Lew and his team enough..I am wondering if he could do my taxes.. read more

I was referred to Dr Lew by my endodontist. I had a bad tooth, which the endodontist did not feel he could save. So he recommended that I have the tooth removed and referred me to Dr Lew to perform the procedure. I concur with the other 5 star reviews on Dr Kevin Lew and his staff. From the first phone call to Dr Lew's office, to the consultation, and then throughout the procedure, I found Dr Lew and his staff to be professional, helpful, and compassionate. Throughout the entire process, I felt like I was in good hands and could trust this doctor. That is important when someone is putting you under anesthesia. I was particularly impressed with the consultation. First, Dr Lew was on time. A few minutes after I arrived, I was taken into the exam room with one of Dr Lew's assistants. I told the assistant I would read until the doctor came in to see me. The assistant told me that they would be with me from that point forward, so that I would not have time to read. Dr Lew came into the room shortly thereafter. There was a blown up picture of the X-ray of my tooth on his wall, and the other teeth next to the bad tooth. Dr Lew explained the X-ray and showed me the root canal and crown on my tooth. Dr Lew did a through exam of my mouth and my gums, and the area surrounding the tooth. He even examined under my tongue and my neck area. He said the tooth was very fragil and that the gums surrounding the bad tooth, bleed easily when he probed the area. Therefore, he recommended that I have the procedure done under general, rather than local anesthesia. He was also concerned about my comfort level during the procedure. Once he decided that the procedure should be done under general anesthesia, he looked at my arm to locate good blood vessels. Then he instructed his assistant to write, in the chart, which blood vessels he would use to administer the anesthesia, and to place the IV. I was SO impressed with his care and how thorough he was during the consultation. He spent at least one half hour with me during the consultation. I never once felt rushed. I booked my procedure after the consultation. Several days prior to the day for which the procedure was scheduled, Linda, the woman who works at the front desk, phoned me to explain what to wear on the day of the procedure, when to begin fasting the night before, and other general preparatory information. She was very detailed. She even explained that I should not wear dark nail polish or contact lenses to the procedure. I was impressed with the level of detail and care that Linda displayed. I had the procedure done about 5 days ago. I am still experiencing a fair amount of pain. Dr Lew and his staff told me to contact them if I had any questions or concerns. I am scheduled for my follow up visit this coming Tuesday, which will be 8 days post procedure. Overall, I am glad that I went to Dr Lew for this procedure. He has a wonderful bedside manner and is a highly skilled and consummate professional. He and his staff displayed a very high standard of care. Throughout the entire process, I felt confident that I was in good hands. read more

You definitely need not search any further for a dental surgeon...you wont go wrong with Dr Lew. Dr Lew extracted my wisdom teeth for me (two in total...and was very impartial about his medical opinion). The whole process was organized & such a breeze. I was very well informed about the surgery, I arrived on the day with nothing unexpected & his nurses assisting him were just splendid! I went for the surgery myself & they took very good care of me. My husband picked me up after because I was on GA & they facilitated his arrival & helped us to our car... Just amazing! Dr Lew called me the day after my surgery to check on me. It was a sat evening!! He was concerned & checked up on my pain level & if I was keeping up with the cleaning process & meds etc. Only my mum has ever done that. I've had a tough time finding similar service & expertise within the medical profession; I'm comparing dermatologist, regular dentists, gps etc. Rest assured you will be taken care of here. Joanne is an asset & most credit goes to her. I dealt with her foremostly & most regularly... I've bugged her over the smallest concerns & she's always been patient, helpful & educational. She's responsible for this review. Thank you Joanne! read more

I came to Dr. Lew for a second opinion on my wisdom teeth. My first oral surgeon, who was recommended by my dentist, was short with me, wanted to pull two wisdom teeth under local anesthetic, then wait 4 weeks and pull the other two. Because of a lack of detail and explanation, a clerical error where they almost doubled my original quote, and my discomfort with the idea of being awake for the removal of my very impacted wisdom teeth, I found Dr. Lew through Yelp. These reviews did not disappoint! I had all four wisdom teeth out under general anesthetic and have almost no pain 6 days later. As others have mentioned, Dr. Lew called me (on a Saturday evening) to make sure I was feeling okay. Everything from the consultation to the surgery itself was SUPER transparent and professional. I felt in great hands. I was also really thankful for the staff (I believe Joanna) recommending I wait until 2017 for insurance purposes -- this saved me almost $400. I paid exactly what I was quoted, which I feel was really affordable. My only tip is to call the office or wait until the day of your surgery to pick up your meds. I picked up all 4 of the prescriptions he called in, but arrived on the day of and he said I may not need one of them. Either way, not a big deal. Dr. Lew and team are fantastic! read more

Dr. Lew and his staff are beyond excellent. My experience was smooth, quick, and amazing from start to finish. I came into Dr. Lew's office to get my last two wisdom teeth taken out since they were growing out and I cannot express how informative Dr. Lew and his staff was during my consultation. The minute you walk into the office you are greeted by a friendly face! Dr. Lew thoroughly explained what was happening to my wisdom teeth and what the best possible solution was. He explained the possible risks that can happen during surgery since my bottom wisdom tooth sat right on top of my nerve canal. He informed me that it was low risk and he was confident that I should be fine. I have been to two different dental offices for my other two wisdom teeth and none of the doctors informed me of any possible risks or other options. After the my consultation, Jo Anne, the office manager went through everything I needed to do to prepare for when it was time for surgery. She explained my medications and post op instructions. She explained my medical breakdown of insurances and was very thorough. The day of my surgery came and everything went smoothly. I came in comfortable clothing and went straight into the surgical room. They took my vitals and made sure I was comfortable with a pillow and blanket. The following day dr. Lew himself called me and asked how I was doing. He made sure if I had any question to call his office at any time. I could not have asked for a better experience than what I received! The doctor is amazing, the office is clean and the staff is friendly! read more

Where do I begin. My daughters had their wisdom teeth extracted a YEAR ago. When I went to the consultation I was told my out of pocket expense with be minimal. To my surprise 3 days prior to the appointment I received a phone call to confirm their appointment and to tell me my copayment was over $3,000.00. I knew I should have canceled at that point, but I also knew that Dr. Lew had scheduled them back to back. I went ahead and kept the appointment. I paid over $3,000.00. I thought that was the end of it. A YEAR later my husband gets a phone call from Linda saying I am going to be sent to collections over $76.00. I am very disappointed in their communication. Linda is rude and inconsiderate. I will never again refer any patient to this office. read more

I really can't express how great this office is. From the moment I called the office I was being taken care of with such a great deal of respect, kindness and professionalism; and, when I walked into the office, it was no different. These people have got it going on!! They are all so helpful, appreciative, educated, organized, clean, efficient, and just down right courteous. I really had an amazing experience! Dr. Lew even called me personally the next day to see how I was feeling. Really just above and beyond. Thank you! Todd C. read more

Excellent in every aspect ! Dr. Lew's staff was so professional and very friendly, you feel it as soon as you walk in the office. Dr.Lew takes his time to thoroughly explain the procedure and answer any questions or concerns you may have. He's very patient and instantly made me feel calm. He also made sure I was comfortable during a tooth extraction, even giving me a blanket and soft head rest. My procedure was pain free and nothing short of amazing. This was the best dental experience I've ever had. If you're in need of an oral surgeon I highly recommend Dr. Kevin Lew. He's the very BEST !! read more

This is the most incredible experience I've ever had in my dental care experience. The whole staff has beautiful bedside manner and the Dr Lew is an incredible surgeon. I recommend this office to anyone that needs work done or surgical procedures. The prices are also reasonable read more

My teeth began hurting badly from a wisdom tooth. I knew I had to do something but am never comfortable in dentist/doctor/surgeon environments. I search extensively until I ultimately decided to come to Dr. Lew. I am so happy I did. Moment I walked in I was comfortable. The whole staff is extremely polite and knowledgable. After meeting Dr. Lew I was shocked at how comfortable I was and he explained every little thing using the best technology. I knew I was in good hands. I ended up getting 5 teeth extracted! 4 wisdom and a "supernumerary" of course. As terrified as I could have been, He was simply the best and I would recommend him to everyone. If you are trying to decide by reading reviews, give him a try. Won't be disappointed. read more

i was in pain with regards to my wisdom tooth impaction and a tooth that is having boneloss and cant be retreared root canal. Surgeon- unlike other oral surgeons who are snob and anti social - this doctor will explain to you EVERYTHING FROM CONSULTATION TO PRE OP AND POST OP and was making me laugh too. he made sure i was comfortable the whole time of my surgery and made sure my nervous self will be okay pre-and op surgery. thank you doctor!

Kevin Lew is the best! I had all my four wisdom teeth removed yesterday morning. I was super nervous but since my consultation day Emily the receptionist made me feels super comfortable she's great. So lets go back to my experience with Dr.Lew. I walked in the prep room and his assistant was very nice took my pressure she made me feel very comfortable with a nice warm blanket. Then the Dr. Came in and told me it was ok to be nervous and scared that he would be worried if I wasn't he was making me laugh and at the same time I was being relaxed. Once the iv was put in by the way he was so gentle they sprayed my vain with a cold spray making it more painless didn't feel anything. Well when the drugs were put in I was asleep and woke up so good everyone was asking me how I felt the Dr. Explained to my boyfriend what he had done and what to expect my boyfriend was pleased with all the info he gave him. It's a good thing they had my prescription ready a week before surgery so I was set to go straight home. ALL THE REVIEWS BELOW ME ARE SUPER TRUE EVERY WORD , SO IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A DR. THAT KNOWS HIS STUFF AND EXPLAINS EVERYTHING SO WELL LEAVING YOU WITH NO QUESTIONS ITS DR.LEW He's the best at what he does. I have a follow up appointment next week and I will make sure to let him know how great he is. Also this is day 2 and I already feel good slight pain here and there enough for just ibuprofen to cure. I know getting your wisdom teeth removed its pretty scary and its also a dangerous procedure. Thats why I'm glad I made the choice to have it done here. I hope this review helps many . read more

Could not have been more happy with the services that Dr Lew provided! I came to Dr Lew to get an implant after having one tooth removed because of a root infection. Dr Lew incredible attention to detail, professional attitude and open communication made the whole experience smooth and amazing from start to finish (not to mention his great staff who took care of the many details for such a procedure, including interfacing with the insurance). I can only warmly recommend Dr Lew! read more

Dr. Lew is the most thorough, honest and caring oral surgeon I have ever met. Super clean, professional office and staff. I had to have an extraction and was referred by Dr. Klienova/Dr. Chen. I compared prices from different oral surgeons and they were the most reasonable. Not only that, but I received the utmost respectful care. My extraction was over before I could find a song to play on my ipod. It was done with just a local anesthetic and I barely winced. He had that offending tooth out before I knew it and I was on my way. Relatively pain free, I might add. God forbid if I ever need any more of the type of services Dr. Lew provides, he's my new go-to. This says alot, I've had a ton of dental work and many complications from several oral surgeries in the past. This was almost just a passing dream it was so uncomplicated. Thank you Dr. Lew and staff! read more

I never write reviews, but have to this time. Dr. LEW is absolutely amazing. He is extremely kind and has fantastic bedside manners. He was very honest about what could happen. I was terrified of being put under and not being able to function for a couple of days. My outcome has been enjoyable, literally. I have been able to do almost everything, keeping the post- surgery rules in mind. If you want an oral surgeon who cares, Dr. Lew is it!!! read more

If only all doctors could be this talented and professional! Dr. Lew removed all 4 of my daughter's wisdom teeth and the entire experience from the moment we walked in for the first consultation until her mouth had healed was exceptional. read more

Dr. Lew is great!! So nice. The office staff is so nice and the whole experience has been great here. He's a USC graduate and such a personable guy. I had to come to have my wisdom teeth taken out, and it was a good experience. Still expensive though. Oh and it's suite 714. read more

Incredibly detailed, professional, caring and capable. Dr Lew successfully completed an implant without complications or issues. The only issue was he wanted several followup meetings before and after the procedure. Those extra visits were why there were no complications. Subsequently, I was unable to fly to see Dr Lew for a second implant. Although the other doctor in another city was experienced and highly recommended, I had to have the implant cut out after 8 months and then started over. The difference between these doctors was the instrumentation and the amount of precision and detail applied by Dr Lew vs the other doctor. Fortunately the other doctor stood by his work and just redid a new implant. read more

Kevin Lew is Fantastic!! I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed yesterday morning & it went so well!! I'm shocked at how painless this procedure was for me. Minimal pain, I don't even need my pain meds prescribed. Also I don't even remember passing out which was nice because I had anxiety thinking about that part. Highly recommended!!! read more

Dr. Lew is amazing. My daughter had all 4 of her wisdom teeth pulled. Dr Lew is very thorough. On the consultation appointment he will go over every question or concerns. He was so thorough I didn't have a single question. I was very impressed by his professionalism. His staff is great. Very clean office. He makes you feel very comfortable and at ease. read more

Both of my teenagers (16 & 18) just had all 4 wisdom teeth removed this morning. I may be back to post an otherwise update, but so far so good! Dr. Lew was extremely clear about what to expect during the consultation, and when we arrived this morning the whole staff was warm, helpful and accommodating. When they awoke from the surgery, neither kid remembered a thing and thought it had been only 5 minutes, when it was over an hour. As I said, it's only been half a day, but they are not in extreme discomfort. Just icing, eating pudding, and watching TV. read more

I recently had two wisdom teeth extracted from my mouth. I was not very happy about having another oral operation at the age of 56, but it was necessary! I want to thank Dr. Ellis Wong, who referred me to Dr. Kevin Lew. Dr. Lew was very professional, thoughtful and warm. His staff was very supportive and professional also. Dr. Lew is highly qualified and not pretentious. He even called me a day after the surgery to check on my progress and how I was feeling and to make sure I was taking the medication properly. I don't do many reviews, but I feel as though Dr. Lew truly deserves mine and many more positive reviews. Thanks, Dr. Lew! read more

I had done a lot of research and heard a lot of good things about Dr. Lew, and let me tell you they are all true! Dr. Lew is the most professional and knowledgable doctor I have ever come across. He fully explained everything to me as well as answered any questions I had about getting my wisdom teeth removed. What I loved was that he was very straight forward and was being honest in telling me what was best for me, not just to make his pocket fatter. The office is beautiful and very clean. The staff is super nice. My main focus is on Dr. Lew, hands down best doctor out there. If you need any type of oral surgery, don't even think twice. GO FOR HIM! read more

I had my wisdom teeth out yesterday. I was nervous from all the horror stories I've heard from other people and because I've never had oral surgery before and didn't really know what to expect, but thank goodness my regular dentist, who is absolutely fabulous, Dr. Arthur Kesian, also on Larchmont, I've been going to him since I was a little kid growing up in the area and have had nothing but the best experience with him as well, however for these types of surgeries he recommends Dr. Lew, and thank goodness he does. You could not ask for a more caring and professional and excellent doctor then Dr. Lew! His office is impeccable his staff is friendly patient and knowledgeable and the doctor himself is absolutely a pro at what he does! The surgery went so smoothly that when I woke up 45 minutes later I wasn't even groggy I had zero pain and almost no bleeding or swelling whatsoever, I couldn't believe it! Within a few hours the tingling and numbness went away and I have zero swelling or zero pain in fact, you can't even tell that I just had my wisdom teeth out yesterday I can talk perfectly I look totally normal (well as 'normal' as I usually do, LOL) and I've been eating without any discomfort whatsoever, starting with mashed potatoes yesterday but I have moved up to scrambled eggs and actually chewing soft turkey and pretty much moving onto regular food at this point, as if I never even had it done almost. Do not make a mistake and go to another surgeon, this is the guy... five stars for Dr. Lew! read more

After doing a bit of research on finding a good oral surgeon who could take out my wisdom teeth, I was referred to Dr. Lew by a friend. First of all, his office was one of the only offices I dealt with who could handle insurance billing like professionals. They were also the only office which could give me a realistic price for what the surgery was going to cost. You would not believe how difficult it is to get that information. But most importantly, Dr. Lew was an incredibly skillful and caring doctor. I had some very badly impacted wisdom teeth and he explained everything clearly to me and maintained a very caring and knowledgeable demeanor every time I spoke with him and had a follow up visit. I honestly could not have asked for more. Also, everyone from his office staff to his assistants are fantastic. I couldn't recommend him or his office more highly. read more

Dr. Lew and his staff are so amazing. I'm 26 and needed all four of my wisdom teeth out. The older you get the worse it is to have them taken out. I set up an appt after my dentist recommended them. I was terrified and Dr Lew and his staff were very helpful and answered all my questions very honestly. The actual pulling process was about an hour, I was put under and very thankful that I was. The healing process for me 12 days (varies for people) but it was not a painful healing process. Dr. Lew and his staff called me the next day to see how I was and even called me back on a Saturday when I had a question. They took care of all the insurance stuff so all I had to do was pay my portion and they took care of everything else. Over all, very impressed with Dr. Lew and his staff I would absolutely recommend coming here. read more

Dr. Lew and his staff are exceptional. Smart, friendly, knowledgeable, and all around great people. You can't go wrong.

Dr. Lew and his staff are fantastic. I had three appointments with him, arrived early every time, AND WAS SEEN EARLY. Amazing. Also - I've never had this happen at any medical service before - his staff sat me down and gave me a complete breakdown of what the costs were, what was covered by insurance, etc before I signed up for anything. Everyone was super nice, knowledgeable, and helpful. So pleased. I got my wisdom teeth out and it was the smoothest procedure ever, and I have a history of complications. He's great - if you need any oral surgery, go see Dr. Lew. read more

What a great doctor! Dr. Lew just took out my son's wisdom teeth last week and we were so impressed and happy with the expert and caring medical attention that we got from Dr. Lew and his entire staff. My son has had such a good experience and really great follow up care. Can't recommend him enough! read more

I can't say enough about how knowledgable, helpful and kind the whole staff are. You are made to feel welcome and cared for, as soon as you arrive. Dr Lew is an incredibly skilled gentleman, who will give you the best unbiased honest opinion and his work is excellent!!! I was stuck while travelling with a very bad tooth which had been constantly giving me problems, I was so relieved and lucky to have found them and had the work done there. He is also very reasonable in pricing and upfront about the costs. I can't say how fantastic Dr Lew and his team are and how wonderful it was to be in such amazing hands! I got such wonderful care! read more
