As a dentist, I have referred many patients to Dr. Daniel Hsu over the years, so when I needed an…read moreextraction and implant myself, there was never any question who I would choose. Even with my professional background, I am an anxious dental patient when I'm the one sitting in the chair. What I have always appreciated about Dr. Hsu is his ability to put patients at ease. He takes the time to explain procedures clearly, answers questions thoughtfully, and never makes anyone feel rushed. That same calm and reassuring approach made a real difference to me as a patient. My extraction and implant placement went smoothly, and the recovery was far easier than I expected, with minimal discomfort. The result was excellent. What impresses me most about Dr. Hsu is not only his surgical skill, but also his genuine care for his patients and his attention to detail. His entire team reflects those same qualities--professional, efficient, and truly committed to providing outstanding care. As a referring dentist, recommending Dr. Hsu to my patients has always been an easy decision. After experiencing his care firsthand, my confidence in him is even greater. Quite simply, he is the finest oral surgeon I have had the privilege of working with, and I admire him greatly. -- Dr. Y

I would go back to them in an instant for any other procedures. Also, special shoutout to his front desk team, who were friendly, responsive, and extremely patient and thorough in answering questions.

I needed to have both of my lower wisdom teeth removed, and since I had never had any kind of tooth…read moreextraction or surgery before, I was extremely nervous. From the moment I walked into Honest Oral Surgeon, the staff made me feel at ease. They were professional, friendly, and very patient. After taking my X-rays, they carefully explained everything to me and answered all my questions. I also watched a pre-procedure instruction video, which helped me understand what to expect. When I met Dr. Kim, he was professional, clear, and straightforward. He explained my treatment options concisely and also pointed out potential risks related to my other teeth. After discussing everything together, we decided to take a conservative approach -- remove the wisdom teeth first and monitor the other teeth to see if they could recover over time. I really appreciated being involved in the decision-making process. The surgery itself was excellent. It was my first time receiving anesthesia and having teeth extracted, and I can honestly say I felt absolutely no discomfort. Dr. Kim removed both wisdom teeth efficiently and skillfully. (Yes, I could hear the drill and some hammering sounds -- which was a little funny -- but I felt zero pain.) After the procedure, I followed the instructions carefully, took the prescribed medication, and applied ice as recommended. It's now the second day, and I have no pain at all -- not even noticeable swelling. This is actually the longest Yelp review I've ever written, but I truly felt it was deserved. I highly recommend Honest Oral Surgeon and Dr. Kim to anyone who needs oral surgery.

He was professional, honest, respectful, and took the time to listen to our concerns. The surgical procedure went great and he even reached out personally to make sure there were no post surgical issues. I really, really appreciated that. In a world where most doctors don't care and leave this on their nurses and staff, his following up personally meant he really cared. I highly recommend this practice.

Not that Dr Yu needs another review but he is one compassionate and knowledgeable dentist. Late…read morelast year I ate on something hard and thought I had broken a tooth. I was able to make an appointment with Dr. Yu a few days later he took the time out of his busy schedule to survey the tooth and told me that it was a concussion and to let it heal. I came back a couple weeks later and got some x-rays and thankfully it healed about a month later. I'd appreciate his care and great bedside manner, even my anxiety. I recently came back for a check up and cleaning and I have to admit I got the best cleaning from Cindy. She started with asking me about any concerns I had and I mentioned enamel erosion. Well what I thought was enamel erosion was a lot of tartar on the surface of my teeth and she was able to really scale through all my tartar as well as clean the stains on the bottom of my teeth and make my teeth polished, clean and shiny like a new set of teeth! Also love the front desk staff! They are always so kind and organized. I actually was able to come in earlier due to a cancellation because they had made a note of it late last year!

Dr. Yu does a great job and really cares about each patient…read morehe sees. My experience with him is that he listens to you, explains what he is doing, and why it is important. His staff is very professional and wonderful. I had the honor of having the doctor clean my teeth yesterday. As he worked, he told me what he was doing and how did my teeth and gums look.. I really believe that dental health is so important to overall health and living a long and healthy life. I insist on cleaning every four months. My gums are so important to me and my health. I had to wait six to eight months to get in to see Dr. Yu, but it was worth it. My past dentists tried to upsell me or tell me I needed unnecessary work, but that will not happen here. I highly recommend Dr. Yu.

Overall: Dr. Yang is patient, and it's clear that he's concerned with his patient's well-being…read more Plus he has some serious skills. During the consultation, Dr. Yang was super patient with answering all the questions that my parents and I had, and he wasn't annoyed in the slightest by our indecision. In fact, he never pushed for me to remove all four wisdom teeth, and he reminded us that it was our decision. In the end, I decided to remove all four wisdom teeth. I was afraid of the pain because of all the horror stories that I have heard. HOWEVER, I had no pain at all, and I didn't need any of the pain medication that Dr. Yang prescribed, not even the ibuprofen. Plus, I was in and out under thirty minutes. My parents told me that they were shocked by how quickly Dr. Yang finished the extraction. After the removal, he gave my parents his phone number so that we could call or text him if we had any questions. When something came up late at night, my dad sent him a text. We honestly didn't expect an answer until the next morning since it was near midnight, but he answered almost immediately.

Dr. Yang is a wonderful surgeon. He is very caring and kind to his patients. I really like his…read morebedside manner because he is honest and to the point but can be soft-spoken. At the time I was a medi-cal patient and he was extremely nice to me so I don't believe any reviews that say otherwise about him. During my procedure I was given a blanket during anesthesia and was extremely comfortable. They did gas and an iv and when I woke up I was done. They wheel chaired me out to my car and gave me post op instructions. Dr. Yang also gives you his personal number which you can text or call anytime if you need help after the surgery. I had my wisdom teeth removed (at 25 years old) by him last year and had lost feeling in the lower quadrant of my jaw because of the way the tooth roots grew into my nerve. He told me not to worry and though sometimes patients don't regain feeling most will after a year or two. He also said he would see me however many times I wanted him to at no cost to me until I felt comfortable. This made me feel he was very confident he'd done the procedure well and cared for my long term well being. I did about 2 or 3 follow ups and he saw me every time. I have now gained all feeling back in my jaw and am so grateful to have found Dr. Yang.

My daughter had 4 impacted wisdom teeth extracted by Dr. Youn Sagong. We were extremely nervous…read moresince she had never had a procedure done before and of course I had seen all the horror stories on TikTok (swollen faces, dry socket, difficult recoveries, etc.) Dr. Sagong was very thorough during the consult, explained everything clearly, and really put us at ease. We felt so comfortable that we decided to do the procedure the same day. He also offered PRF plasma treatment to help support healing after the extraction. Although it wasn't covered by insurance, we decided it was worth trying and I truly believe it helped minimize the swelling and improved healing. The procedure which was done under general anesthesia only took about 35 minutes! The first few days afterwards were tough with icing, pain meds, and a liquid diet but my daughter had no swelling and healed perfectly. Very grateful for such a smooth experience. Highly recommend Dr. Youn Sagong and his team!

He was able to extract tooth and add implant same day (which is rare) he stated but 5 months later it all worked out, I received the final approval from him to move forward and have a crown placed on the implant by my regular dentist.

No upselling or typical dental office shenanigans....straight to business and zero pressure! Dr (MD and DDS) with integrity and high skill...which I'll say is rare these days. See you soon, Doc!

First off, office staff is great (why I gave +1 star). I had my first consultation and the Oral…read moresurgeon made me wait 40 minutes after my appt start time to see me. I could hear him in the next room chit chatting. When he finally saw me he said I needed a CT scan to determine how close the nerves were to my lower wisdom teeth. He kept saying I waited too long to get my teeth pulled (I have serious surgery anxiety) and I don't have a time machine to go back in time to get my teeth pulled. In any case, I had time to take the additional scans but I wouldn't have time to wait for him to make his rounds again. He said he would review the scans to determine the risk level, make a recommendation and give me a call. I didn't have to schedule the surgery date as the front office had already scheduled my surgery appt when I scheduled the consultation. Fast forward about 4 days and it's the day of the surgery. There was a mix up with the anti anxiety medication that was prescribed caused by the office / CVS and after multiple phone calls, I had to forego the prescription and head to the office for surgery. When I checked in, I stated he never called me about whether I would be getting 2 or 4 impacted wisdom teeth pulled. They assured me that he would discuss it with me. They take me back to the room and the dental assistant does her best to calm my nerves. She was really sweet. After 20+ min, the oral surgeon enters the room and I ask whether he made a decision as to whether it was too risky, he stated again that was why I shouldn't have waited so many years to get my teeth pulled. Then he said I made the appt to get all 4 teeth pulled. I panicked. I let him know my surgery was scheduled before I even had my consultation. I asked him for his recommendation. He said there was risk either way. Under extreme anxiety and no time to think it out, I made the decision to go with all 4. I knew I'd never have the nerve to go through this again. He administered the anesthesia himself and I was knocked out. Why did I have to pay additional $$ to get CT scans that weren't even used? The surgery went seemingly okay. I was sent home with multiple pages of instructions (that happened to contradict each other) but was able to call the office for follow up questions. After the shots wore off, I had no feeling in my lower gums, lower lip and chin. My first follow up visit was pretty pointless as the oral surgeon wasn't even there. I went back another week later for a second follow up, and spoke to the oral surgeon. He stated he never saw the nerves during surgery so it was odd that I was so numb. He also let me know that whatever feeling hadn't returned in 4 months, wouldn't likely return. It's been 4 months, full feeling has not returned yet. I guess I just have to live this way. Overall, I couldn't recommend this surgeon. I know it could have been worse but it could have gone a lot better. There was too much confusion, not enough follow through and the outcome was less than desirable.

Dr. Jason performed a very complicated extraction of my 4 wisdom teeth all indented (burried inside…read moremy gum), I am 35 yo, one of them was in awkward position that required side surgery and bone grafting right on top of a nerve.
