I already knew Dr Beckley was a trustworthy expert with whom my daughter had a phenomenally easy experience for her wisdom teeth removal, so today I went in for a second opinion after being referred by my dentist for an implant. Dr. Beckley evaluated my asymptomatic tooth and xray, and suggested the "wait and see" approach as he prefers to "treat patients not X-rays" and recommended I wait this current crown out as long as possible before jumping to an implant, as an implant may not outlive me. I am so grateful I was able to get an honest opinion and a doctor who is not ripping me off, but putting the big picture in place! So for now I will put off this front tooth extraction and implant, which will be quite an ordeal one day, but will be back in his wonderfully professional and friendly office when I eventually need it! read more

Wow, I can't say enough good things about Dr Beckley and his staff! It's nerve-racking to have a tooth removed and then prepped for implant, including a bone graft and IV sedation. I was pretty nervous. The staff is so kind and professional and the minute I walked in I felt myself relax. They went to great lengths to make sure I was comfortable and at ease. ( complete with a comfy blanket!). Dr Beckley has amazing bedside manner and kept me calm and comfortable. The procedure itself was a BREEZE, and I am in very minimal pain after. They even called to check in on me that night and during that whole first week. This is a great practice and worth every penny. Can't recommend them enough! read more

From the moment you walk in the office assistants , the surgeon's assistant are the greatest team ever. So caring about you and absolutely friendly. Dr. Beckley an excellent oral surgeon. I unfortunately have had to get another tooth extracted and there was no other Dr. I even would have considered. All I can say is his kindness is completely appreciated. Thank you Dr. Beckley for being an outstanding Oral Surgeon I appreciate everything you've done for me. read more

My 9 year old son had a supernumerary tooth that needed to be removed. It just could not wait any longer as it was starting to bother him. At the urging of his pediatric dentist and Dr. Beckley, we scheduled it about a month after our consultation. I have to admit it was a bit nerve-racking to have it done during the COVID-19 pandemic but Dr. Beckley and his staff went above and beyond to reassure us. The office is taking extra precautions to minimize the spread of germs in these challenging times. In fact, their waiting room is locked and from what I understand, only one patient is allowed in at a time. We appreciate the additional safety measures put in place. As it turns out, my child did have some unpleasant side effects from the IV anesthesia and vomited a few times after the procedure. The staff was so attentive and understanding; they really tried to make my child as comfortable as possible. Luckily, he made a speedy recovery and was practically back to normal by the next day. In that time frame, I received 3 calls from their office checking in on him (one from Dr. Beckley himself). I'm grateful for the wonderful care from everyone at Pacific Oral & Facial Surgery. Highly recommend! (Tips: no photos since cell phone usage is not allowed. Bring a light jacket or sweater if you will be in office for an extended amount of time; it gets cold as they keep the AC blasting). read more

I cannot emphasize, enough, my dissatisfaction with the staff and doctor. They ordered a post-op medication that I am allergic to, the pharmacy had to contact them to point out their error. They failed to properly sedate me, therefore, I kept waking up during the procedure. The staff called to "check on me" while I was still in the procedure room. Three plus weeks after extracting three teeth I am still in discomfort due to the aggressive manner in which she removed the teeth. I requested to be reimbursed for the sedation since it was ineffective and was told they can't do that since the procedure is over. I have no confidence in this office and would not recommend anyone allow them to perform any procedure on them. read more

Dr. Beckley is amazing. but the billing department is a disaster. We have been trying to get our procedure billed for almost 4 months. I understand we have multiple policies and that is not the norm. However, I made sure we had everything in order when we checked in. Not only did we pay almost $4k upfront to be reimbursed after insurance pays, which I was not happy about about but understood, but then they have billed the insurance in the wrong order because one of the policies terminated the MONTH AFTER the procedure was completed. At this point I am wondering if I HAVE TO SUBMIT THE CLAIM MYSELF. Not only that but the secondary paid even though they should not have so they will have to be refunded anything and then refilled once the primary pays. read more

This office is not compassionate and treats you like a number. If you want to be treated with respect and human being, do not go here. Dr. Beckey may be good technically at what he does, but he and his staff only treated me like dollar signs. Their staff did not care about my wishes in how I wanted to be treated. I did not wish to receive IV sedation to have a tooth pulled. Because I have a history of anxiety, they insisted, even though I informed them that I was more anxious about the IV sedation than any discomfort or pain. I've given childbirth twice naturally and had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled without sedation. But that didn't matter and they only wanted to do it their way and I let them talk me into it. Then I woke up sick the morning of my appointment. I called in to cancel. My entire household ended up sick, thankfully not Covid but didn't know that for several days. A few weeks went by for my household to recover. I called back to reschedule and they said they would not reschedule me because they didn't believe I was sick! No respect for me as a human being what so ever. And If they wanted me to come in sick, I could've exposed them to whatever I had. So now I don't trust their COVID practices. Be warned before you go here. read more

I am so grateful to Dr. Beckley. He did 4 wisdom teeth for 2 of my children and he has done 2 extractions for me (I know, it seems like I'm making a habit of these.) But the second extraction was an emergency one during COVID- and this office got me in the same day! AND they were so kind. I was pretty loopy due to pain, but they were so clear and so helpful and so nice. I could not have imagined a better experience. I didn't even know I'd had my tooth out! And recovery has been wonderful (well, not wonderful, but relatively pain free and completely uneventful- so that's kind of wonderful.) I have recommended Dr. Beckley to all my friends and the ones who have gone have been very satisfied! Some of those folks had implants. I do not think you can find a more competent, kind and caring set of folks to take care of you and your teeth. read more

Amazing! Had 3 extractions and a corticotomy this morning. Dr. Beckley was the BEST, his staff as well especially his assistants during my surgery. I was very comfortable, never felt pain, and recovery was Great! It's currently late afternoon and still no pain. I'm just resting on my couch watching movies and enjoying my mashed potato with gravy. Btw, I'm terrified of dental work but this is my first oral surgery that was truly amazing... Get IV sedation if you can. I even got a voicemail from the staff checking in on me today. Wish I could've answered, my nap was too great! I highly recommend Dr. Beckley. read more

Dr. Beckley is an outstanding practitioner! He handled my son's wisdom teeth removal perfectly. My son is very anxious around needles and the staff all were so calming and reassuring. Everything was explained thoroughly and we left feeling very prepared and capable to care for him while he healed. Currently he is treating my father for a cracked molar that will require some extensive repair. We do not anticipate any issues. Once again his staff is operating with the utmost professionalism and quality care. Highly recommend!! read more

Unfortunately all of the in network oral surgeons I could find for our insurance had horrible reviews. I called several places referred to me with decent reviews and they all wanted the full cost of surgery up front. Dr. Beckley's office was willing to bill our insurance and only require our share up front. I am glad we went with them. My adult son is not the best patient but he said that Dr. Beckley eased his nerves. The office also called several times to follow up post surgery- even Dr. Beckley. During the preliminary visit he also took plenty of time to go over things. I would use them again if there was ever a need. read more

Wow!!! I needed my lower wisdom teeth extracted, and I HIGHLY recommend Dr Beckley if you need to do the same! I put it off for 30 years, and finally decided to get it done on 12/08. From start to finish, he and the staff did an AWESOME job. From the ease of setting a consultation, to the procedure on the day of, it was a smooth process. Because of the way my widows grew in, I needed to be fully sedated for the extractions. It simply felt like I was sleeping; even though I'm told I made some CRAZY comments when I woke up! Lol! Anyway, there is no better oral surgeon out there! Thanks Dr Beckley, and staff! See you soon for my follow up appointment, and I'm healing up well! read more

My regular dentist discovered that my #14 molar was in danger of splitting which necessitated a visit to a specialist. In this case I received an appointment with Dr. Michael Beckley, an oral surgeon who removed the tooth and performed a bone graft for a future tooth implant. Was I happy about being sent to an oral surgeon? Not in the least, but I was delighted with the results. I met with Dr. Beckley several weeks before the surgery and he explained the procedure and answered all of my questions. I elected to have the procedure performed under sedation which was a first for me. I do remember the doctor saying that he was going to start the IV. The next thing I recall was being escorted outside where my daughter was picking me up. It couldn't have gone better! If I ever need an oral surgeon, I can't imagine choosing anyone else. read more

First the good: Office was nice and staff was very friendly and answered all my questions (slight billing issue, but they helped get it resolved). Dr Beckley was great during the consultation. He took the time to explain what was going on and how the growth on my lip could be surgically removed or we could leave it alone since it was not cancerous. He did not push me toward surgery, so I appreciated that. Not so good: The surgery experience was unnecessarily stressful. The office manager and surgical assistant apologized for the issues I raised with them the day after surgery. The other thing that surprised me was that Dr Beckley was not present for the follow up appointment. Not sure what the protocol is here, but I expected he'd want to have a quick look at the healing process and answer any questions I might have. read more

I had four wisdom teeth out earlier this year. The surgery went smoothly and Dr. Beckley was fine. The one star is for the office staff and billing experience - if I could do the whole thing over, I would definitely have gone somewhere else. I don't feel like they were upfront with me about costs and when I had problems with my bill, they had a severe lack of follow up and were extremely uncommunicative. read more

Ridiculous! They looked at x-rays from 2 years ago to determine if we were a good candidate for surgery. I begged for a consult but nope.

I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed in my 30's and was so happy with Dr. Beckley and his friendly and competent staff. I would highly recommend this office! read more

Got a procedure done here and I'm definitely regretting that now. I'm being called 2 months later because the estimation I was given during my consolation 3 weeks prior to the procedure was not the correct amount. I was told that they do not send off any information to your insurance company until the day of the procedure. That's bad business because your insurance company can come back saying they won't cover as much as the estimation. I've had plenty of dental procedures done and my dentist office always sends off the information to the insurance company prior to the procedure being done just so that if there is a difference between the estimation price they can let me know beforehand. Why would anyone get any procedure done not actually knowing the full amount of how much they will have to pay out of pocket? This office policy is to not! Send off your procedure information until the day of the procedure to your insurance company so BEWARE!! If you decide to get any procedure done here, make sure they have sent all the information needed to your insurance company prior to your procedure otherwise you will be on the hook for the cost regardless. Btw whoever the office manager is, she likes to say "it is what it is" when it comes to figuring out why your being billed over the amount you were told. I'm forwarding this incident to my dentist who refers patients to this place. Poor business practices is the reason why I'll never come back! read more

My young daughter had to see Dr.Beckley for oral surgery. At first Dr seemed very quiet and I wasn't sure my daughter would warm up to him, however as the appointment continued he proved to be a very gentle and kind person. The surgery went very well. I appreciated Dr's honest opinion for the treatment and have since referred him to several people. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Beckley and Pacific Oral and Facial Surgery. Every single member of the staff is very professional, friendly, and makes sure they explain everything to you to make sure there are no surprises. They went over pre/post op instructions with me so I knew what to do! Dr. Beckley took great care of me. I had a root canal snap and had a swollen mouth. He took me in for surgery to remove the tooth and all I felt was the little prick to get the IV going in my arm. I woke up an hour later, tooth was gone, and I was headed home. I took Motrin for 2 days after and never took the bigger pain meds that was prescribed. That night after the surgery, Dr. called me to check on me to see how I was doing. I thought that was really nice of him to call me on a Friday night at 8pm to check on me. The office staff has been upfront with me on everything. They have told me a price and I knew what I was paying before showing up to have the procedure done. I am going back in a month to have the screw inserted where the tooth was pulled so I can have a fake tooth inserted. We have done all appointments and just waiting to have procedure done now! I have heard he is a little pricey, however with how smoothly everything has gone, and how great everyone is, somethings are worth paying a little more. You want to get what you pay for when it comes with oral surgery. I will pay a little more knowing that I will be taken care of! read more

Unfortunately, I was unable to get my tooth removed from Dr. Beckley because due to a particularly bad dental year (2 root canals, 1 cavity and a crown) I was maxed on my dental insurance and could not come up with the $880 (payment in full) they needed before they would proceed with my scheduled surgery. I asked if I could pay $440 the day of and then the remaining $400 the following Friday when I got paid. They told me they did not do payment plans and tried to push care credit on me. Unfortunately, d/t financial problems stemming from a divorce & being a single mom to 2 teenage boys I did not get approved for care credit. Which I am not sure why because I had no problem with the credit option for my son's braces which has been paid in full early!!! This was not a cosmetic procedure and was advised by my dentist to get it done sooner than later so I had schedule both the consultation and procedure at the same time for a Thursday & Friday as I already had to wait over a month to see him. I took the days off work and was set to go. Dr. Beckley's office was not compassionate and did not even try to work with me. I am not even certain that they needed to do a panoramic X-ray which increased the price I had to pay in full today before they would let me leave the office ($235). I did not want implants I just wanted this tooth removed that my dentist said needed to come out ASAP over a month ago! Fingers crossed I can find someone to pull it before I become septic from an abscess! Unless you have money up front to pay in full don't bother going to see Dr. Beckley, his office won't budge. As I was told many times "WE DON'T DO PAYMENT PLANS." The icing on the cake is when I called to cancel my appointment because I couldn't come up with the money the receptionist said and I quote, "I'm sorry it didn't work out for you" ???? Seriously. Thanks lady. After my interactions today I would give Dr. Beckley's office NO STARS, but it didn't give me that option, so 1 star it is, thank YELP for that star! On to post another review on another site, people need to know how this office does not care about their patients, just about the $$$$$. read more

Literally the best experience I've ever had with a doctor. Dr. Beckley removed 3 of my wisdom teeth yesterday. At first we had trouble getting the IV in my vein so he changed my diet and rescheduled it. The operation went great and recovery has been almost PAINLESS! I had a consultation with another doctor before Beckley that said I didn't need X-rays and he was gonna remove all 4. Beckley took X-rays which revealed I only had 3. He saved me a lot of unnecessary pain and it was a couple hundred dollars cheaper than the last guy. It's great to know there are still doctors that actually care about the patients overall well-being and not jus getting it over with to get their paycheck. GO TO DR. BECKLEY! read more

I've taken both my daughters here to have their wisdom teeth removed. Yelp! is right! Poor kids. The office staff is very friendly and professional. When did did extractions become so absurdly expensive? $~3,000 for for getting wisdom teeth out? I guess it's one of those things where you charge what you can because you can. My daughter complained about the surgeon's chair-side manner only once on the way home ... but that one complaint lasted the entire way home! Hey, if I just had my mouth excavated I'm not so sure I'd have much of anything good to say about anyone either! read more

I had an infected front tooth which led to it's removal and it turned out there was so much bone loss that I had to do a bone augmentation and eventually had to pursue implants. I spent over $3000 in bone graft, stay-plate to a dental facility in Tracy. The bone graft did not take and they kept wooing me back to try another bone graft that would cost me another $1600. I immediately found another dentist and he recommended me to see Dr. Beckley. And guess what? Even if I had another one of those artificial bone graft, it wouldn't have been successful. Dr. Beckley suggested that we use a portion of my jaw bone for the graft because it would be a lot successful given that it is already a part of my body. I did pay extra for that surgery but the whole process was seamless and successful. I couldn't imagine going through a failed graft again (and imagine the many months I have gone through already from the initial dental facility). I gotta say this that Dr. Beckley is a really caring person. He even installed a faux tooth in lieu of my stay-plate to try and widen the space around the posts. I didn't have to pay extra for that, he did such a great job matching it too that I found the faux tooth to be a lot closer in color and fit compared to my annoying stay-plate that I've been wearing for over 2 years!!! I also paid $650 for that plus whatever else my insurance covered. Dr. Beckley understood and new how long I have been waiting to install my permanent implant and he made sure that I was happy with it. Most of my experience with having four kids is that dentists or dental facility try to squeeze you for every dime they can claim from your insurance! Dr. Beckley and his staff are the opposite of that! I never had any up sell or incessant calls for more work and again, a free faux implant!! Thank you Dr. Beckley & staff. It's nice to know that there are still good and caring people around. read more

Seeing a specialist is always the most important thing you can do for yourself. Dr Beckley is by far the best oral surgeon in town, I'd say the Bay Area! He and his team make your experience so comfortable and easy! He's been there for my family and now myself. I will always refer to this office for anyone in need. read more

5 STARS! 5 STARS! 5 STARS! I was recommended to Dr. Beckley from my regular dentist to remove my wisdom teeth and man I had the greatest experience! From the easiness of making my appointments over the phone to the complete explanation during my consultation to the painless procedure. I had really bad anxiety about possibly feeling him remove my teeth but he reassured me and I didn't feel a thing. I am two days post removal and feel great. I couldn't recommend him any more!!! And a big thank you to his nurse Marissa for calming me down before the procedure. You're the best girl. read more

We are so happy with our experience with Dr Beckley's office.. Dr. and his staff are friendly and very helpful with our concerns. Our son's oral surgery was quick and recovery has been great. We were so shocked to received a follow up phone call from Dr. Over the weekend. We are very appreciative of his time and efforts to make sure our son was doing well. read more

I was referred here by my dentist for TMJ pain I had been experiencing for a week that wasn't responding well to the Tylenol, ice, and heat that I was already advised to use. I was referred to Dr. Beckley as a TMJD specialist, so that I could be evaluated for TMJ disorder and the potential benefit of non-surgical treatment options such as a night guard, splint, joint massage techniques, etc. I called the office and told the receptionist that I have been having pain in the joint for a week, that I had already been seen by my dentist to rule out any teeth and gum issues and was referred to Dr. Beckley by him. I mentioned that I was pregnant and had already run everything by my OB who agreed with the things already suggested to me by my dentist (Tylenol, ice, heat) and had nothing further to suggest. The fact that I am pregnant seemed to really concern the receptionist who pretty much refused to book me an appointment and insisted I talk to my GP first. I was able to email my GP, who told me she wanted to refer me to - you guessed it - an oral/maxillary surgeon to discuss non-surgical options like a night guard, splint, or physical therapy. But because of insurance protocols I have to book an appointment with her to get that referral and she has no openings for a week. So thank you very much, Pacific Oral Surgery Center, for leaving me to deal with pain for at least an extra week and forcing me to see yet another non-specialist just to get a second referral back to another oral surgeon (not you, thankfully). Sounds like you just don't want to deal with a pregnant woman for some reason. read more

Dr. Beckley removed my 16 yr old son's 4 wisdom teeth recently and the entire process went smoothly. We were nervous since this is our first child having this procedure done. He experienced NO pain! Not much swelling either. He was out with his friends the next day. We were amazed. We (hesitantly) paged him because even the night after he had them out he was insisting he wanted to go out with his friends saying he felt fine- LOL!! Dr. Beckley couldn't have been nicer and gave him good advice to take it easy the first night. His staff is very kind and answered all of our questions. He is a skilled surgeon who is very patient, kind and understanding, and he has young kids himself so he can relate to parents concerns. read more

If I could give Dr. Beckley and his Staff 6 Stars I would!! We had a family member visiting from out of town during the holidays that encountered some dental problems, and sought Dr. Beckley as a source for some Colleague that may be in town for the holidays. Not only was he in town, his staff called us immediately, squeezed us in to his busy schedule, explained what needed to be done and got things done in the same visit. NOW that is what I call G-R-E-A-T Customer Service!! Family Member is needle phobic and he said Dr. Beckley had such a great bed side manner that he never even knew that he had place the IV in!! Can't say enough nice things about the staff, they were so attending and kind. They called not once but twice to make sure he was feeling better. Even Dr. Beckley called to make sure he was feeling ok before he left for his trip home. THANKS! Pacific Oral and Facial Surgery Center! Definitely recommend them! read more

Doctor Beckley and his staff are amazing! Everyone is so caring and professional. They did in an implant on me. Their attention to detail is so wonderful. What a great experience. read more

I just had my surgery done by Dr. Beckley and have to say that he is truly exceptional at his craft. I'm a nervous wreck when it comes to anything that has to do with dental work so its a huge deal when I have to have a procedure such as this. Dr. Beckley and his very kind staff were great at alleviating my fears before my surgery even though I called way too many times with a zillion questions :) On the day of my procedure I was in and out in no time and experienced little to no pain or discomfort after. Dr. Beckley called to make sure I was feeling alright which was very thoughtful. A+ all the way! read more

Dr. Beckley is excellent, very reasonable, and compassionate. Our orthodontist kept sending our kids to remove teeth but dr.Beckley determines when to remove these teeth. Some teeth actually fell out after he told us so. Since I didn't want forceful teeth out if possible, it really makes me trust him. Phone service is much better now. read more

In August, I was told that I would need to have my 4 wisdom teeth removed, and my dentist and orthodontist referred me to Doctor Beckley. I had my consultation right after I was referred, I knew I was going to be okay. Yesterday, I had them removed and my experience was amazing. The staff was so kind to me, and Dr. Beckley was awesome, was so kind to me, and was really funny, and worked efficiently and quickly, and I was in recovery after 45 minutes of surgery. My sister needs her wisdom teeth out in the near future, and we will only be seeing Doctor Beckley. There isn't enough good things I could say, and I think my parents can agree with me. read more

I have had two extractions done by Dr. Beckley. Despite all the warnings about pain, bleeding, nausea, tingling, and seeing imaginary beings after surgery, I have yet to experience any at all. Except for the imaginary beings thing. The staff are most efficient and courteous. The best thing is everybody, including Dr. Beckley, were wearing purple scrubs the last time I was there. Made my day. read more

I had 3 wisdom teeth pulled by Dr Beckley recently. One of my wisdom teeth had roots right near my mandibular nerve canal, making it a more difficult procedure. There was a possibility of having numbness on that side of my face post surgery. Never the less, I sit here today with complete feeling. No unknown food on my face! Dr Beckley is one cool cat, very professional and runs a nice clean office. Respect. I love his staff, they are exceptionally friendly and very nice to chat with Thank you Dr B's Office for treating me so well. read more

This place is truly a great business. Dr. Beckley and the ladies upfront do an amazing job! I had to get my wisdom teeth taken out and they fit me in the next day. The doctor also made me feel extremely comfortable with the transition. Ashley rocks too! read more

It seems silly to say that you had a great experience getting your wisdom teeth pulled, but I had a great experience getting my wisdom teeth pulled. Dr. Beckley and his staff were extremely professional, friendly, and accommodating, and my recovery was way more manageable than expected. I was up and moving again the following day with no swelling, and minimal pain. I'd recommend him to anyone! read more

I highly recommend this place! Staff is very friendly, professional, and very thorough. Dr.Beckley is very nice also. He assured me everything would be fine (since I was scared beoyond belief) and sure enough, everything went fantastic! To be honest, I didn't believe he actually did work on me since I literally felt no pain afterwords, whatsoever! Dr.Beckley even called me later on at night to make sure I was doing fine. Overall, a wonderful place to go to. I even plan on coming back to have my other 2 wisdom teeth removed, by choice! read more
