I found Max Haws DDS on my in network group of providers. After getting about four different names, I went on Yelp and looked up reviews. Without a doubt Max Haws DDS stood out beyond the others. And I was not disappointed when I had my appointment about 2 weeks later. The receptionist who answered the phone was so sweet and genuine sounding. She verified my insurance and that it would be covered and then set up an appointment within a couple of weeks. Such I was surprised about because a lot of places book so far out! I had such a great experience with my hygienist, Maris, and small world but we actually are both from the same area where we grew up out of state! Pretty fun being able to connect to someone and see some else's experiences on what it was like there and how we got to Santa Barbara now. Honestly even the social communication is great in general because of COVID not allowing this face to face interaction as much. After some x-rays and a cleaning Dr. Haws came in and checked everything out. He notified me of some borderline cavities that we need to watch closely for the next 6 months. I really appreciate his honesty for where in the stage process the borderline cavities are and the price differential if we were to do some now versus later on. He is very transparent with everything which made him super trustworthy.

I wish I could give 0 stars. This is regarding Dr Jones. I had a wisdom tooth extraction (4 teeth)…read moreat Santa Barbara Center for Oral and Maxillofacial surgery (by Dr Jones) on July 18th. When I came out of surgery no one had told me what had happened. Eventually we found out 5 days later that it was a "code brown" situation while I was under anesthesia. Dr Jones eventually admitted to pushing my upper left wisdom tooth too far and lodging it into my upper cheek where they then had to "dig" it out of the buccal space. I wasn't able to breastfeed my 9 month old for 10 days due to being on heavy pain killers for a week longer than they anticipated. I eventually ran out of milk supply. I was completely numb in my left cheek, upper lip, left upper teeth for almost a year. Dr later admitted to this happening only one other time in her 15 year career and admitted this was a rare complication/mistake, but despite how rare and severe of a complication, I didn't see her in person until 11pm on Friday the 22nd when I called her (for the 6th time) because I had very extreme pain in the upper left of my mouth and head. During the week we had called her office several times with concerns and emailed her with updated photos of my face but no one asked me to come into the office to be seen. This was so incredibly stressful on me and my family and I would hate for this to occur with anyone else. I wish there would've been much more attention to this matter. Rather I felt like this serious and rare complication was minimized and dismissed.

From the moment I entered the office until I was finished, I felt very comfortable and well- cared…read morefor. Dr. Hall was very professional and his assistants were terrific too. All in all, a good experience.

If you're considering double jaw surgery, look no further than Dr. Michael Gunson and Lori Heinze…read morein Santa Barbara / Goleta--they are truly the best in the field. They take on the toughest cases, and I am beyond grateful that my Ohio orthodontist referred me to them. I had double jaw surgery (DJS) at age 56 with Dr. Gunson, and I could not have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, everything was handled with the utmost professionalism and care. The entire process--from my initial consultation in January 2022, to my surgery in March 2024, throughout my follow up care to my one-year final appointment in March 2025--was exceptional. My recovery was easier than I expected, and the results have been life-changing. I no longer suffer from daily headaches, neck, or shoulder pain. My severe snoring disappeared overnight--I now sleep peacefully through the night for the first time in years. People often tell me I look ten years younger! But the biggest, most immediate difference? As soon as I woke up from surgery, I took one deep breath in and knew it had worked. My airway was increased by four times in size, and for the first time, I could breathe fully and freely. Dr. Gunson is a brilliant, meticulous, and compassionate surgeon who specializes in these procedures, and his expertise is evident at every step. Lori Heinze and the entire team (Carol, Kim, Jasmine) are incredibly kind, intelligent, and hardworking--they made me feel completely supported throughout the entire journey. My only regret? Not doing this years ago! I was nervous and kept putting it off, but now, knowing what I do, I would have done it sooner without hesitation. If you are considering jaw surgery, trust Dr. Gunson and his team--you will be in the best hands possible. A million thank yous to Dr. Gunson, Lori Heinze, and the entire staff! You gave me a new quality of life, and I will forever be grateful. Highly, highly recommend I give Gunson a 10/10 Rating! Angela Thomas (Ohio)

Botox, Fillers, and etc.. have you heard about them???…read more I don't routinely get Botox, maybe once or twice a year, only for special occasions. But when I do I seek out Lori at Dr. Gunson's office. Lori is a licensed PA, who started out in dermatology initially and is now working in the maxilofacial surgery field. She is everything you need in a esthetic provider. She's knowledgeable, gentle, conservative, and kind. If ever in need of all things fillers and Botox, come and see her.

However, when you try to call them it seems like it gets sent to a call center. The call center has failed to cancel, reschedule, or get in touch with the office. I've tried calling numerous times and it's the same person with the same outcome, I really wish they had a direct line.

Dentist and office staff were great however the accounting department was not so much…read more I was originally quoted around $600 for a crown replacement. They submitted my claim to the insurance company and found that the crown did not need to be replaced and they did not get preapproval for the procedure before starting. Therefore, the insurance did not cover a huge majority of the cost. I was then build another $700 prior to the procedure and prior to knowing that the insurance was not gonna cover this. I had asked for some assistance from the dental office to help my claim with the insurance company and they could not provide me the documentation. The back-and-forth of over 20 emails for two months literally got me nowhere. I have filed a grievance and we will see where it goes from there. It's unfortunate, but all I needed was a couple pieces of documentation that they cannot easily provide.

The office itself is small, which actually makes it feel much more personal and comfortable compared to larger, busy clinics. The staff were incredibly friendly and made the whole visit feel relaxed and even fun. They took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I felt at ease throughout the appointment. You can tell they really care about their patients and creating a positive experience. The space is clean, nicely decorated, and has a calm vibe that helps take the stress out of going to the dentist. It's the kind of place where you feel like you're more than just another appointment.

The dentist office can do a late next day cancel, but if you cancel within 48hours there will be an invoice coming your way.

If you have good dental insurance, this place is not for you.
