Let me start out by saying that I HATE GOING TO THE DENTIST!…read more It's the most uncomfortable feeling in the world when there are people pushing stuff around inside your mouth and telling you to open wide! But Dr. Chin and his staff make the whole dentist-going experience at least bearable. They are very professional and sanitary and make the whole hour go by very fast. Their receptionists are very friendly and helpful too!

It was very difficult to get my parents established with this practice. Initially, I tried to…read moreoverlook concerns because I understand healthcare offices can become very busy. Unfortunately, we experienced repeated issues with communication, follow-up, and professionalism. After my mother had a tooth extraction, she was sent home without clear after-care guidance. She experienced significant bleeding through the gauze and was unable to reach anyone at the office for assistance. She ultimately had to call another dentist for advice on managing the bleeding. A few days later, she still did not know whether her stitches were dissolvable, which should have been explained at the time of the procedure. Only after she followed up were arrangements made for stitch removal. More recently, my mother received a crown and experienced severe pain once the numbing wore off. She could not chew and even lightly touching the area was painful. I suggested she request a bite adjustment. Again, no one answered the phone, so she went directly to the office and received an adjustment, but her pain continued. She was advised to take high doses of pain medication despite her age and history of renal insufficiency. She took only what she felt she could tolerate safely. At her next appointment, which was scheduled for a filling, I attended with her to discuss pain management concerns. The assistant who prepared her was kind and explained that the nerve may need time to settle after the previous procedure, and we appreciated that explanation. When Dr. Scarfe arrived, the interaction became uncomfortable. He expressed frustration that my mother had not followed the medication recommendation. I explained that she had concerns due to her kidney function and asked that we speak respectfully and professionally. During the discussion, he acknowledged that he did not know her current labs but continued to insist the recommended dosing was appropriate. As I translated for my mother, the conversation escalated further and he ultimately declined to continue treatment. At that point, I agreed and chose to leave the practice. I thanked the assistant and receptionist for their help and accepted the referral that had been provided. As a healthcare professional myself, I found the interaction disappointing. My concern was not disagreement about treatment recommendations--it was the manner in which concerns were addressed. Patients deserve individualized care, respectful communication, and consideration of language barriers. If communication is difficult, interpreter services or designated contacts should be used. I cannot recommend this practice based on our experience.

10 years ago I had the most uncomfortable dental exam and cleaning of my life at zen in which they…read morehad to completely redo my X-rays and then the cleaning itself was very painful and the hygienist was condescending. I had no cavities or any real problems but she still managed to project horror at the state of my perfectly fine teeth. At check out the office assistant told me I needed to book a 4 appointment round of scaling and root planing--which was not discussed during my visit other than the doctor saying "you could develop gum disease" not that there were any signs of it at the time. I booked the appointments but it didn't feel right. Why do invasive procedures on healthy gums? I canceled the appointments and didn't go back. 10 years later I'm extremely happy because I have no gum disease and haven't had as much as a cavity since that appointment. Sometimes invasive dental work can cause much more harm than good if not needed. And why be so condescending about a perfectly healthy mouth? None of it makes sense. I would advise everyone to steer clear of this practice unless they have made major changes.

I have had the pleasure if using Dr. Tyco's services twice now for implants. And yes, I know the…read moreword "pleasure" is rarely associated with dentistry or oral surgery but, in Dr. Tyco's case, we'll just have to make an exception. Should you select Santa Rosa Oral Surgery for a procedure you'll find easy access and ample (usually door front) parking. Reception is very efficient and pleasant to deal with. Reception room is pleasant as well but you won't be there long. All my visits have found SROS to be very timely. First visit is meeting your doctor for a concise analysis of what procedure you need, informing you of just what that procedure entails, while ending with staff lining up any insurance you may have and giving you your next appointment. During the actual procedure I had forgotten how many assistants are used and was momentarily afraid that they were there to hold me down! Hah! Hardly. Extremely efficient, each person has their duties and the process is the proverbial well oiled machine with Dr Tyco explaining each step along the way. As quick and painless a dental procedure as I've ever had. A prescription for pain meds was provided but unnecessary. All I felt was a bit of sensitivity for a couple days. Just as my first visit. After the healing process it was one last visit to confirm a successful graft and I was done! Dr Tyco and his staff are the kind of professionals you want...and deserve! No question who I want should the need for oral surgery arise again. It will certainly be Santa Rosa Oral Surgery and Dr. Tyco.

Though this was our first experience with them, would like to recommend Santa Rosa Oral Surgery's team for your oral surgery/implant requirements.
