My daughter felt almost no pain post surgery! Her recovery was seamless and I know it's because of the amazing work done by the doctor! I will absolutely be back when it comes time for my kids to get their wisdom teeth removed. I will be recommending this office to everyone!

Wow, it was amazing and Dr. Miner is amazing and absolutely the best! Today, I'm still doing great, no pain and no bleeding! I think Dr. Miner is the best oral surgeon in the San Diego area. He is also supper nice and made me feel comfortable and safe before and during the procedure. I was very, very scared but he was able to calm me down and still performed the surgery without sedation. In fact, the whole team in doctor Miner's office is super nice and welcoming.

Julie was quick and efficient with the X-rays, and Dr. Rauterkus was refreshingly honest and gave me so much clarity on the issues I've been facing.

Their advice and recommendations have always been thoughtful and helpful. The entire staff is always friendly and personable, and a pleasure to deal with. I also appreciate that when some problem does come up, his office makes a real effort to get you seen and taken care of as soon as possible. I have a couple of friends who see dentists who still send out crowns to a lab to be made, which makes for a weeks long process. I only mention this because Dr. David makes your crown while you wait and has been doing this for so long I would have thought that all dentists were also doing this but I guess some don't. But I do know that his work is excellent and crowns always fit perfectly.

Date of most recent visit: January 14, 2025…read more For the past couple of years, I had a bump on my inner lip that had neither grown or shrunken; it was just... there. My dentist was concerned about it, so she referred me to Dr. Mahdi Matin and his team at West Coast Oral Surgery. They discovered that not only did I have two bumps that were papillomas (which gave me a bit of concern as the first thing that popped into my head was HPV... which they quickly reassured me it wasn't), but they also wanted to remove them for a biopsy to make sure they weren't cancerous or anything like that. I went in last week to get the papillomas removed, and just yesterday got the official word... BENIGN! (Actually, I had known since this past Friday, as my dentist had also gotten the pathology results and were the first to tell me, but I still wanted to hear it from Dr. Matin.) What impressed me about West Coast Oral Surgery is that not only was the procedure quick and relatively painless once the anesthesia kicked in, but how professional the staff was in describing what the procedure would entail, treatment, and payment plans. While they don't take Tricare/Triwest (for those of you who have it), they do take CareCredit as a payment. Also, when the dental assistant asked what I wanted to listen to while they did my procedure, I said 80's tunes... but somehow the Pandora station started playing Motown and 70's music. No biggie, plus the assistant said she liked my musical taste! Definitely recommend Dr. Matin and the folks at West Coast Oral Surgery!

The office seemed clean and comfortable. Dr. Matin was very nice and informative, and helped me feel calm through the whole process (though some of the staff seemed a bit short with me during the initial consultation). I'm glad he pointed out that I needed a sinus cover once my tooth was gone, as my tooth was located so far up it was connected to the sinus. On the day of the surgery, the process went smoothly and efficiently, and the staff helped calm my nerves. Although I had somewhat of a lengthy recovery at first, everything has healed nicely now without any complications. The price for the procedure also seemed reasonable (after insurance). I would definitely recommend West Coast Oral Surgery!

They've been very good at making sure I am dealing with the best recovery and as little pain as possible. Yes, it's semi pricy as this work always is. It is what it is. They do such an amazing job and always make sure I'm being taken care of. Every single person in the office is very nice and accommodating. I have a lot of anxiety and also pain with dental procedures and feel like a problem patient. But they never make me feel like a problem and they're always here to help. Getting dental stuff is never fun, but they make it as painless as possible.

From the moment I sat down, it felt like the goal wasn't to help me, it was to upsell me. A dental hygienist came in and strongly pushed an extremely expensive deep cleaning treatment, claiming I had gum disease and bone loss--despite no other dentist ever telling me this before. The plan involved lasers and multiple stages of treatment totaling around $2,200--and that was with my two insurance policies on file. I came in to address an painful bump on my palate and potentially a failing crown, but it seemed like unless I paid heavily out of pocket, they couldn't or wouldn't move forward. I only allowed them to do imaging and the exam. The rest felt like a sales pitch. And that's not why I go to a dentist. The doctor I saw (Dr. Ekta) told me that a root canal I had done at another office was "botched" and needed to be redone--which is fine, that's her professional opinion. But when I asked if she could write a brief statement or letter so I could appeal the insurance claim, she refused. To me, that's a red flag. If you're confident enough in your diagnosis to tell me I need to redo a major dental procedure, you should be confident enough to put that in writing to support your patient. I had to use her chart notes, which were vague at best. The only positive part of my visit was the x-ray technician--she had a great personality and made me feel comfortable during that part of the process. Props to her. But overall, the practice feels profit-driven, not patient-focused. Between the aggressive upselling, the lack of support with my insurance, and the general vibe of "pay big or get nothing," I won't be returning. And if you're thinking of coming here--read the reviews first.
