I was sore, but never had any pain. Sedation was essential to me. I inhaled some gas, so I was out, even before the IV went in. When I was awakened I was surprised when I was told it was done. I had no recollection, and compared to other times I've had anesthesia, I felt clear headed when I was wheeled out to my friend's car, and heading home. Desert Maxillofacial runs like a 'well oiled' machine. Everyone I met there was friendly, and knew exactly what they were doing. A few days before the procedure I picked up 4 prescriptions. Fortunately, I had no need for pain meds. Communication is excellent. I receive well detailed Post Op instructions. Someone called me the day after the surgery to 'check in,' and to remind me to start the prescription mouth rinse, and do warm salt water rinses. I make a point of doing my research before choosing a doctor. So I am used to excellent care. I believe that Desert Maxillofacial is the best run medical practice I have been to. I would never dream of going anywhere else for implants and dental surgery.

Oddly the first time I was in there a woman shows up,agitates, complaining about billing amounts versus what she was told.

Beyond that - they are really bad about responding to calls and emails. No one is evil, just disorganized

*Blessing in Disguise*…read more YMMV but I found Luis Moya to be very rude, unfriendly and he displayed an extremely condescending chair-side manner. From the moment he walked in to meet & greet me, he was cold, disrespectful and unwelcoming. I was startled. I treat everyone with kindness and respect, unless given good reason not to. But Luis Moya was so discourteous, I got up from the dental chair and walked out of his office. Never before have I felt this way during my time with any medical or dental professional. But I'm actually glad this happened during my negative initial experience with Luis Moya, and didn't allow him to provide any services that require billing my insurance. Because it led me to finding an amazing new Dentist & office in Rancho Mirage for an exam & cleaning -- without having to drive in to LA again, to see my dentist of 20 years. The 1-star default is for the comfortable lobby/waiting area, the wonderful lovely lady at the reception desk, and the friendly tech I had a nice conversation with, prior to my unforgettable encounter with Luis Moya.

My hygienist was Sarah and she did a phenomenal job explaining everything and taking her time doing my cleaning. When she was finished cleaning my teeth, Dr. Moya came in to look at my teeth. He was kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. I appreciate that this dentist office doesn't push and harass their patients to get unnecessary work done. I came in for a cleaning and I received a cleaning. The last two offices I visited always tried to upsell and also had hidden added charges to which I never agreed upon. The difference is this is Dr. Moya's office. He is the sole dentist. The last two places I went were clinics with multiple dentists and they make their money by scamming patients. When it was time to check out, I was assisted by Kirsten who was extremely friendly and also very knowledgeable. When I asked about my co pay, Kirsten told me I didn't have one as it was included in my insurance plan. I was shocked because every other time I had visited the other 2 dentist clinics, they would always charge me a $20 co pay. My father was a dentist, so I'm pretty familiar with how things work at the dentist office. I highly recommend Dr. Moya and his office. I finally left a dentist office feeling like the work performed was thorough and the information told to me was honest and up front.

I have 22 crowns that have been replaced several times, I have experience. He removed a crown to replace it, and I swear I did not feel any pain. I think it is because they did not rush the Q-Tip numbing process. So thankful to have found a great office and Dentist, need a few more crowns removed.
