The visit went pretty well. Doctor was professional and asked good follow ups to better understand what's going on. They made a few suggestions that felt doable and not too overwhelming. I didn't feel pressured into anything. Clinic had a steady pace and the staff were friendly enough. read more

He removed my wife's molars. He was straight forward, explained what to expect, what can be the side-effects, made us feel comfortable and did a good job, no complaints. His team also took care of business when my insurance made a mistake. Jovial and nice guy. He also referred us to a dentist for regular cleanings. We had been to a few dentists, but didn't like them (one of them actually said that flossing is not needed!), but his referral (Dr. Kalai in Cupertino) is very good. We (including kids) have been going to her for many years now and we are happy we found her. read more

He made my wisdom teeth extraction as less painful as it could possibly be (and I got all 4 removed at once!). So grateful for Dr. Sohoni! If you're looking for an oral surgeon, look no further. read more

Dr. Sohoni did my oral surgery. THen he also taken care of my daughter. Dr. Sohoni was recommended to me by me dentist. It is a pleasant clinic as much as oral surgery can be pleasant. Professional with good advice read more

Dr Sohoni extracted my four wisdom teeth recently. The office staff was efficient, friendly, and knowledgeable. Dr Sohoni clearly explained the indications for the surgery during the preop visit, showing me my xrays. the Anesthesiologist was supportive and started my intravenous without causing pain. I woke up promptly after surgery and the staff helped me to the car. I recommend Dr Sohoni and his staff highly! read more

have had excellent experience with dr Sharad Sohoni in the past. in his absence, needed an extraction for implant. dr Nijhavan is an equally competent doctor with a very friendly personalit. Moreover, I commend their patience. it took almost six months for my implant to heal enough for further work and was examined regularly for progress during this waiting period. Dr Nijhavan made sure to see me during every visit even though when a routine X-ray was required. read more

Wow I've never felt so uncared for and disrespected as a patient. I went in for my consultation a couple weeks ago for my wisdom teeth extraction, and the doctor seemed fairly nice and we scheduled my surgery for a Friday (in two weeks). I get a call THURSDAY morning (day before the operation) telling me the price of my operation is going to be $2000+ after insurance and that I have 2 hours to call them back and decide if I will go through with the surgery. I call back and ask the girl over the phone why I was not informed until the morning before the operation and she said they "called on Wednesday to confirm the appointment." Well either way, I DID pick up the phone on Wednesday and I was NOT told this information. Even then, telling customers two days before the operation is just as ridiculous and disrespectful as a day before. After she had the audacity to "claim" she told me on the Wednesday call, I didn't want to argue and just said "I'd like to cancel my operation tomorrow", and all she said was "okay" and hung up immediately. No "goodbye" "sorry" or "thank you" I am not upset at the fact that the operation was more costly than expected-- it was the way they dealt with it. They need to tell their patients the costs at least a week in advance, and hire better employees who don't lie to their patients to try to put them in the wrong. If she hadn't claimed she called me two days before to tell me this, and if she had said a simple goodbye or sorry I would not have felt this compelled to write this review. Also upset that I had already taken off work hours, bought the prescribed medication, and had mentally prepared myself for this... But I am glad this happened as I do not trust a doctor who treats their patients this way. Going to my local dentist to refer me to a better doctor now. -- Also, I'd like to mention that they offered a discount if I paid them in about $1500 cash. Not entirely sure how legal this is as they are probably trying to avoid tax... But I am not entirely sure. Just thought I'd still mention it to give a comprehensive review of my experience here. read more

I got my 4 wisdom teeth extracted this morning, two of which were deeply impacted. I actually feel great right now! I was dizzy during the first 15 minutes post-op (thankfully one of the girls helped me walk), but then felt back to normal right after. I took a short nap, drank a protein shake, took my meds and feel good as new! I have almost no swelling right now, but I know I haven't reached the peak yet. I'm taking it easy, but I honestly do feel great. I haven't felt the need to take hydrocodone either. I'm surprised because I've known how severely impacted my bottom wisdom teeth were for years now (since I was 18. I'm 25 now btw). I feel like I should be feeling awful right now, but no! Anyway, I kept putting off the procedure because the doctors I've spoken to in the past told me my case was very risky, and in my opinion, didn't seem confident enough to perform the procedure on me. With Dr. Sharad J. Sohoni my experience was different. I immediately felt like I would be in good hands with him. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, but he is also the sweetest and most considerate doctor I've ever dealt with. I'm glad I decided to stop being such a scaredy-cat and began doing research on all oral surgeons listed on my insurance's website. After hours of doing research (I'm such a drama queen I know), I found Dr. Sharad J. Sohoni. I'm not gonna lie, the few reviews that said all the 5 star reviews were from family and friends got me a little nervous, but I'm sooo glad I ignored them. Dr. Sohoni is awesome! Like the other oral surgeons I've spoken to in the past, Dr. Sohoni told me my case was very risky; however, what distinguished him from the others was that he EXPLAINED to me with details WHY my case in particular was a risky one, and thoroughly explained to me HOW he would go about it, and SHOWED me a visual demonstration to help me understand better. Like reviewer Latte E. expressed back in 2013, I too was in "awe of the CT scan." " I mean I could actually SEE it with my own eyes instead of having to imagine it or take dr's word for it." I agree with that part so much. I also want to give a shout out to the staff that works with Dr. Sohoni! Including the girls at the front desk, the girls behind the scenes, and the very kind anesthesiologist. They all work together to provide a safe environment for you. I felt like I was in good hands the whole time. They make you feel important. I expressed to one of the girls that, if possible, I really needed to have the procedure done by today (my consultation was last Friday) and they did everything in their power to make a spot for me. I would've understood if they hadn't been able to, but they willingly and readily made it possible. The girls at the front desk were the sweetest. I noticed that about them since the very first phone call. They do their job with such a positive attitude. They explain to you everything in such a personal way, instead of sounding robotic and making you feel like you're just another patient. They also called me not too long ago to check up on me. They gave me additional tips on proper care, and told me what to look out for next. I appreciated that so much. Another thing I noticed was the great communication Dr. Sohoni has with the girls at the front desk. No wonder they're always on the same page. Sounds silly, but if I had to do this procedure all over again, I wouldn't mind doing it with them. One of my favorite parts was when Dr. Sohini tenderly placed his hand on my head when I was laying down getting ready for the procedure, and asked me if I was feeling okay. It made me feel calm and safe. Maybe it's the medication that's got me feeling all sensitive haha but it's true! I'm gonna stop now because I'm starting to sound like Dora the Explorer at the end of her episodes. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience! read more

Extremely in-transparent billing. They sent the bill with many unexpected items to me, not covered by insurance, after my visit for the 1st consultation, which I had only been able to talked with the doctor for less than 5 mins... read more

Got my wisdom tooth extraction from Dr. Sharad Sohoni. Honestly, I was very skeptical in the start because my case was a little complicated as the roots of my teeth touched the nerve and the surgery wasn't going to be easy. But, the doctor assured me about the procedure he will do will be painless and safe. My surgery went very well. Even after the surgery, the ladies at the reception called me the same day to ask about my well being. They also scheduled a follow up after one week and everyone is the staff is really helpful, kind and answers to all your questions. They gave me proper notes on diet to be followed, medicines to be taken, advices and all requisites prior and after the surgery. Also, as mentioned by other reviews about the change in price from what quoted, I had no such experience. They charged me the same amount as they had quoted me a week prior to the surgery. I would definitely recommend. read more

Dr. Sohoni is great. I had a smooth surgery removing wisdom teeth. No pain and minimal swelling after that. The nurse and staff are caring and capable too. Got a call beforehand on the cost estimate. Highly recommended read more

Completely pro at what he does. He will make sure you are not tensed during the process. His staff is equally good. All beautiful ladies will make sure about your comfort and ease. read more

I had been here for tooth extraction.. The doc did a wonderful job.. The reception was very client friendly and they helped me walk through all the details of procedure. They helped me book my follow up visits and also called me to check on me how Iam doing on the day of extraction after 6 hours .. I felt very satisfied and relax with the whole procedure. Thank you all.. read more

I have only great things to say about Dr. Sohoni. He is very patient and no nonsense doctor. I had wisdom tooth extraction surgery done. The pre-op and post-op care was very well taken care of. The recovery was very smooth. The staff was very accommodating, knowledgable and caring all though out. I would very highly recommend this doctor. read more

My experience with Dr. Sohoni couldn't have been better. Let me preface you by saying that I was absolutely terrified about having my wisdom teeth extracted, especially about the idea of being put under, since I have never had any serious dental work or surgery before. When I came in for my consultation I first noticed how friendly and nice the ladies at the front desk were. They re-assured me that they had been through the procedure and that it would turn out fine. Then I went to talk to Dr. Sohoni, who was very straightforward and honest about what needed to get done. He calmed my rattled nerves, and answered any questions that I had. What I really liked is that when I left the office, they provided me with all my subscriptions to pick up and gave me detailed print outs of pre and post-op care. They were able to schedule my procedure for the very next morning! The next morning when I arrived for the wisdom teeth extraction, I realized just how anxious and scared I really was. The minute I sat down in the dental chair and looked around at all the equipment, I began to panic and almost started to cry. Instead of looking at me like I was crazy, the office staff was very kind and caring. They offered to hold my hand and talked to me about different topics to get my mind off of things. The anesthesiologist was really great too! He was very calming and talked to me about my fears, and re-assured me that everything was going to be ok. I couldn't have felt more at ease. I don't remember anything about the procedure after I got the IV, except for waking up and thinking how things happened so quickly and easily! I highly recommend Dr. Sohoni. He is very good at what he does, and has an excellent office staff and experienced anesthesiologist. Come here if you want a very positive experience! read more

This practice is a fraud. Please stay away from this malpractice. I visited mr.Sohoni in aug 2018 for the first time with pain in wisdom teeth. He scheduled a date in late December for extracting my tooth, which I promptly added to my calendar. I had to travel outside the country due to my grandpa's death in on dec 3rd. I checked my calendar before I left and made sure I called his office to cancel the appointment before I left the country, with an assurance from the receptionist that I wouldn't be charged a cancellation fee. Now to my surprise, I got a call from his receptionist in June 2019 that I owed them $350, failing which it would be sent to collections. I told her how I called them to cancel my appointment in the beginning of December 2018. She said she'd look into it. I got another letter in December 2019 that they sent this $350 to collections and it is now on my credit report. Avoid this sham like the plague. A total scandal for a practice. read more

Dr. Sohoni's patience and knowledge immediately made me comfortable. He took all the time I needed to answer my questions before a wisdom teeth extraction. The actual procedure went very smoothly. He welcomed my questions and continued to make sure I was comfortable throughout. A day later, I have barely any soreness following a procedure he warned me could be difficult due to my root depth. The rest of the staff was also very friendly leading up to, during and after the procedure. read more

I needed 3 wisdom teeth extracted. I was really dreading the day. I had done an extraction from another surgeon previously and it had been terrible. I came prepared for the worst, but it turned out to be just great. The doctor is friendly calm and not alarmist. The place is not super fancy, but very clean and very well equipped. The staff is very nice too. I felt no pain during the surgery, there was almost NO swelling or pain after. I recovered in a week or so, much much faster than my previous experience. It was a very pleasant surprise, I would happily recommend this doctor to everyone. The best part - it was very reasonably priced compared to what other surgeons were asking. read more

I needed to have two of my wisdom teeth removed; since they were the top ones, I figured I might as well get the bottoms removed, too. At our first consultation the day before the surgery, Dr. Sohoni thoroughly reviewed my options with me, the pros and cons of having all four removed at once, and helped me feel comfortable with my decisions. What immediately impressed me: At that visit I received a printed 3 page handout describing my pre-op prep and responsibilities, and recommended post-op care. I also received my pain relief and antibiotic prescriptions to be filled *prior* to the surgery, so that I could go straight home post-op. I can't even imagine, gauze filled cheeks, mumbling, face numb from nose to chin, waiting in the car in the pharmacy parking lot...! I chose general anesthesia, and I'm very glad I did. When I awoke just after tooth 4 was removed, Dr. Sohoni told me that mine had been a difficult case (seems mom and dad had passed down some sturdy roots.) However, it wasn't difficult for me at all - in fact, I didn't really feel any pain until the next day (well, I couldn't feel much of my face below my nose!) His assistants, Nav and Brenda, were wonderful, making sure I was clear on my aftercare, and calling *twice* later that week to follow up on me. If Yelp had 10 stars, I'd give it to them! read more

I went to Dr. Sohoni for wisdom tooth extraction. Staff were supportive and friendly. Procedure was over within 15 mins including application of anesthesia. Overall experience - comfortable and relieved. read more

I had one of the best dental experiences of my life with Dr. Sohoni!! I had to get rid of two of my lower wisdom teeth, which were kind of complex, one was having a very close vicinity to the nerve. Dr. Sohoni explained me clearly about what he's gonna do by showing me the x-rays, made me comfortable and did an absolutely brilliant job getting rid of them. I had no pain whatsoever, right from day one. It was an unbelievable experience considering how super scared I was about this whole wisdom teeth situation as most of us would be. If you want a pain-free experience in your Oral Surgery, just go to Dr. Sohoni and he'll take care of it for you. I have never written any review about anyone till now, but I just can't skip writing one for Dr. Sohoni. Kudos to him and his extremely polite and friendly team!! read more

I just called the office to get an urgent appt for my wife for a wisdom tooth extraction. The first available time was 4 days later. But moments later I got a call back from the office saying a cancellation came in and they can accommodate her. It made big difference to my wife when going through immense pain and thinking to wait for 4 more days with the pain. Yet to go for the appt tomorrow and will come back to write more. read more

Did my wisdom tooth extraction with Dr. Sohoni. Case was tricky as the wisdom tooth was touching the underlying nerve, it was not fully erupt and had infection. Had a consultation appointment before surgery and Dr. Sohoni was very thorough with the checkup and provided great guidance; prescribed anti-biotics and asked me to get the surgery done ASAP as there were less chances of things getting back to normal without extraction. As someone has already said in their review, he is a no-nonsense doctor. Prepare your list of questions before your visit and he'll answer each one with great patience! Two wisdom teeth were extracted in around 30 mins without any trouble or complications. The post-surgery care was very well taken care of and the staff even called me to check how I was doing. The recovery was very smooth. The staff was very accommodating, knowledgeable and caring all though out. From my experience, can say that, Dr. Sohoni is a highly skilled surgeon and would very highly recommend Dr. Sohoni! read more

Best doctor i ever deal with!! Talked like a friend, working as a PRO!!! AAA++++ great job! 2 wisdom gone in 5 min...no pain!! Thanks a lot!! and will refer to my all social contact!! Great service and great staff!!! read more

Dr Sohoni is magic, I took out 4 wisdom teeth, and it only take less than half an hour. The staff are very helpful. I am recovered within 48 hours. I can't believe this, I didn't experience any pain from beginning to recover. This way, I can take out wisdom teeth every year. My husband is very happy to see my recovering this fast, and he will go to Dr Sohoni next year. Thank you, Everyone in Dr Sohoni's office. Take care until we meet again. read more

We have been going to Dr. Sohoni for years. He has done teeth extractions for both my daughters on several occasions, including impacted wisdom teeth. He provides an environment where my daughters feel safe and they trust him, as he has always done the work as planned and with minimal discomfort. He is also good about explaining our options in advance and I appreciated the thorough aftercare instructions both verbally and as a hand out. The office staff is professional, courteous, and caring. read more

If you need dental surgery, Dr. Sohoni is your dentist. Your search for a good dental surgeon ends here if you are reading this review! I needed a bone graft last year (for the implant). Dr. Sohoni performed the bone graft procedure in less than an hour. I had a few stitches but there was no pain at all. The implant procedure also took barely 45 minutes.. He is friendly and professional; I was impressed by his skills. His entire staff is also professional - especially Sabrina. She makes the billing process smooth and easy to understand. read more

Got my lower left wisdom tooth removed. Dr. Sohoni was very professional and did a great job! Thank you! read more

Dr. Sohoni is a boss at his job! I've gone to him for two oral surgeries and both times I was very happy with my results. The swelling and pain were very minimal - no one could even tell that I had my wisdom teeth pulled. Also, his assistants and the front desk ladies are so sweet and helpful. Being a full-time student who lives in SF, the office worked me and my hectic schedule. Overall, I was very pleased with the services I received from Dr. Sohoni and his office staff. Thank you for making my extraction process seamless! read more

Well all the good reviews are written by Dr sahoni himself .. He is prone to over charging and some surprise fees which he would not talk about .. His staff and he himself is very persistent about payments I guess somebody would soon complain insurance company about his over charging read more

Dr. Sohoni and his clinic are well deserving of 5 stars. I'm a 27 year old male and I had a severely impacted wisdom tooth that was causing me excruciating pain. My dentist placed me on antibiotics and advised me to have my wisdom teeth removed as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the oral surgeon she referred me to could not pencil me for a consultation any sooner than 3 weeks out. This disappointed me as I wanted to address the problem at hand immediately. Based on the positive reviews here on Yelp, I took a leap of faith and called Dr. Sohoni's clinic to schedule an appointment. They were able to fit me in the very same week. I arrived at Dr. Sohoni's clinic for my consultation just two days after I first contacted his office. The staff was very pleasant and the clinic appeared to be tidy and well equipped. A dental assistant performed a panoramic x-ray of my teeth and sat me down in one of the two operating rooms. Dr. Sohoni arrived soon after and got straight down to business. He had already reviewed my panoramic x-ray and did not dwell on small talk. He explained the severity of my situation to me and detailed the procedure he would have to perform to extract the impact wisdom tooth. He seemed confident and reassuring while we discussed the risks involved with the operation. Since I did not have an insurance plan that would help offset the cost of the procedure, Dr. Sohoni advised me to only have my bottom two wisdom teeth extracted at this time. However, I opted to have all four taken out after I was informed that I would need to be put under via general anesthesia. A few days later (today), I returned to the clinic around 9 in the morning for my scheduled surgery. After signing a few wavers I was escorted to an operating room and prepped for the procedure. I was hooked up to Nitrous oxide (laughing gas), an IV drip and some monitors. Dr. Sohoni promptly arrived a few minutes later and assured me that I wouldn't feel a thing. The extractions went incredibly well and to my pleasant surprise, I truly did not feel a thing. I find it odd that I was fully awake and alert during the procedure. I also did not experience any of the recovery side effects typically associated with general anesthesia. Three hours later, the bleeding has finally subsided and I'm currently on antibiotics, painkillers and a strict semi-fluid diet. I have a follow-up appointment scheduled for next week at Dr. Sohoni's clinic and I hope there won't be any complications that arise from the procedure. I've shared the before and after x-rays here for you to check out. The procedure did cost an arm and a leg without the aid of insurance: $150 (consultation) + $2,125 (procedure) + $35 (prescription medication) = $2,310!! Expensive indeed. I'm not in a position to complain as I'm happy with the overall outcome of the procedure. I was concerned that I would have to settle for a 'coronectomy' on the impacted wisdom tooth or worse - lose facial sensation due to damage to my nerve. I'm happy that Dr. Sohoni was careful enough to fully extract the impacted tooth without affecting the nerve. read more

Sharad Sohoni, DDS - Panoramic x-ray prior to wisdom teeth extraction. Notice how the impacted wisdom tooth is so close to the nerve canal. - Oral Surgeons Near Me - Mountain View, California

See all

All 5 star reviews mostly by professional reviewers or friend and family. Greedy and unusual business practices, I had a written cost from other dentist to extract 2 teeth, Dr. Sohoni staff assured me they will honor it but I found they charged the 2 dental insurances I have and charged me too. When I protested the staff (billing lady) became very rude and hang up the phone on me. I did not do the work at the first dentist because he was pushing total anesthesia to bill insurance for more, I only realized later he is honest among dentist when he gave me price quote and after I visited Dr Sohoni office. The work is normal but the ethics are not. Staff dishonest, Greedy and rude. Avoid if you can. count your fingers after you leave read more

This dentist is someone I would highly recommend.He and his staff are very friendly. You could well understand how much I hate going to a dentist if I had been putting off going to one for a whole year inspite of all the tooth aches and an open cavity but going to Sohoni has been such a wonderful experience,it has taken the fear out of going to one for me. I had a root canal done and another tooth ripped out(that was complicated) and Dr. Sohoni was not just patient but constantly kept checking to see if I was doing okay.He is not after your money and infact told me a tooth can a wait a few months as I only have certain $$$ my insurance will pay per year. I guess going to Sohoni feels more like I am visiting a friend than going to a dentist to get pricked and poked. read more

I actually was referred to Dr Sohoni for wisdom teeth removal. He looked at the xrays and spotted a shadow near my nerve - something that was very easy to miss.He sent me off for specilaized xrays and it turned out to be a cyst that needed to be removed asap. So i came out of the procedure with 2 wisdom teeth + 1 cyst removed. My medications were prescribed before surgery and post op the recovery has been smooth. The Dr and his staff have been great with followups as well and overall i would highy recommend this clinic. read more

Awesome staff and Awesome Dentist. When it comes to dental work, I am easily scared. And this was my first time to get bone graft and implant procedure - so I was terrified! The staff was really really (yes I meant to write it twice) nice and patient. Appointments are given and taken in on a timely basis. They always were able to give me appointment to suit my schedule, without pushing out weeks ahead. They always called me the day after my procedure to ensure everything was fine and if there was any pain. I don't remember any of my other service providers doing a follow up call and certainly none of my doctors. Above all, the procedures were pain-free (literally!) and very quick. Dr. Sohoni is extremely professional, explains everything very well. His staff supports him very well. This review is based on 3+ visits and I see a great pattern - hence I decided to write it up. read more

I recently got my 4 wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Sohoni. My experience has been nothing but awesome from the very beginning. He took his time in explaining the procedure, post recovery, etc. He was extremely kind and punctual. On the day of surgery, his entire team was ready for me on dot. The surgery was painless and I had little to no swelling the following days. They were kind enough to give me a call the same day to ask for my well being and set up a follow up appointment in a week. Overall, my experience was great and I would highly recommend him. read more

I had my tooth pulled out with anesthetic (needed an anesthesiologist in staff), bone grafting, stitching done, a one tooth denture given to me all in less than an hour.There was absolutely no pain at all. After I came home, I took one motrin and there was no bleeding at all. After 2 weeks, went it to get the stitches removed, I was out of the office in 8 minutes. Dr. Sahoni is an amazing person, explains things very well, very personable and an excellent oral surgeon. Would not go anywhere else. read more

The doctor is fine & did a good job, I have no complains about him. On other hand billing is another story, very unfriendly; they hung up on me when I questioned the additional charges. I brought to the office a written estimate from another DDS for same exact procedure & they agreed to honer it (the other dentist went on vacation), they did not give me a bill after first tooth extracted; then upon completion; they tried to evade giving me a copy of the bill, I demanded to see the charges; I found they were more than double (three times as much) the agreement I have not figured out what I can do about it yet. Make sure you get written estimate, very unfriendly billing with bad business practices. read more

I had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled out by Dr. Sohoni earlier this year. I had been suffering a lot of pain since 4 years and had to pop painkillers at least once in 3-4 months. Dr Sohoni's treatment was sooo goood and so painless that I went out the next day and watched a movie, had dinner outside(yes soft food)etc. It was not even 1% of the pain I had imagined. I have been to several other dentists in Bay area as well as in Southern California(they are very inexperienced here). I would recommend Dr. Sohoni to everybody :) (esp. after my not-so-pleasant experiences in southern cal, I reaized his value even more lol). read more

I had to get my molar extracted due to a crack in my tooth. I had a terrible experience with another dentist. i was putting off going to get it pulled out for 6 months inspite of the aches and recurrences of the infection. Going to Dr Sohoni was the best decision i have ever taken. He just did the procedure in 5 mins and no pain at all. Wow....and yes he not after your money.... so guys ...if you want an oral surgeon,he is the guy.... read more
