I dread all things dentist-related, so much so that I've been putting off getting my wisdoms extracted for 15 years. They weren't causing problems, but they sure weren't helping, either. My dentist referred me to Dr Corcoran to have them removed, so I called and made an appointment for consultation. I was able to get in the same week, and the receptionist patiently explained all the location and time options I had. I was nervous about my consultation. I had never had any kind of surgery in my life, and I didn't know how much damage my wisdoms were in for. Dr Corcoran came in, and assuming he's met many nervous patients, he immediately calmed my nerves with a few awesome dentist jokes. He showed me the X-ray, explained everything that would be done, and I left feeling great about it. I got on board, and scheduled the real appointment for a couple weeks later. Fast forward to today; I had all four wisdom teeth removed, 1 of which was impacted, the rest simple extractions. I got the works with the laughing gas and the general anesthesia, and when I woke up an hour later, huzzah...no wisdom teeth. Surprisingly, I am in no pain despite having taken only 2 Advil right after the surgery. The numbness has gone away, and I have some swelling on the impacted side, but no pain. Huh. Dr Corcoran even called me at 9pm to see how I was doing. He noted that I sounded awfully chipper, and expressed that I should continue to take care of my wounds, even with no pain. How incredibly thoughtful of the guy to call me long after the workday is over, to make sure I wasn't dying or allergic to the antibiotics. My husband said that right after surgery I told him, "Gosh I feel great, I wish I felt this way all the time!" I think that means Dr Corcoran is doing something exactly right. read more

Theodore P Corcoran, DMD MD - Okay I trust you're certified. Permission to drill and extract. - Oral Surgeons Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

The reason for the 1 star is due to their billing department. Went in approximately 4 weeks prior to the actual wisdom teeth removal surgery for the consultation. After the confrontation, we went over the billing to my insurance and the lady said this is all the doctor will do and this is what your insurance will pay. Stupid of me to believe a person is able to do their job but she explicitly left out big charges such as removal of a tooth, consultation charges and other miscellaneous charges. My interesting is that it cannot be this colossal of a mistake and she purposely did this to show me lower charge. After completing the surgery they bill me and guess what, they added major items, like removal of the tooth they were supposed to get out along other items. On top of that, i called the billing department and the lady lied to my face saying this was all billed to the insurance during the consultation and she will send me the proof. What she sent me is proving they did not send the full charges to the insurance. There's a bunch of good doctors out there and this one is not worth it just because of their incompetent billing department in the arlington office. read more

Dr. Corcoran is a fantastic oral surgeon (referred by the wonderful Dr. Wenk). I recommend him for all your dental surgery needs (may they be few). I got my wisdom teeth removed by him (all 4 at once!) and was surprised by the courtesy and professionalism exhibited by him and his staff. He explained to me exactly what was going to happen and made sure to answer my questions without the slightest hint of condescension. I was offered local or general anesthesia (I chose local - I'd rather be awake) and when I decided I didn't like the laughing gas, they took it away pronto. The procedure went pretty quickly, even with stitches, and I felt that they were very efficient. I was sent home with a bottle of Vicodin, which I ended up hardly needing. Funny Note: As I left his office after my consultation a gust of wind blew a chunk of dust straight into my eye (yes, I know - I am a walking accident, Calamity Jane, what have you). His assistants had to run my eye under an eyebath (normally used to flush out chemicals) for several minutes in order to get out dust particles, dirt, and two loose eyelashes. They were perfectly lovely and did not even laugh. read more

Being told you have to get an infected tooth yanked out is probably one of the worst ways to spend a day, second only to the actual yanking of said tooth. Dr. Corcoran at least calms any worries you may have of being in the best hands only. His referral came from both an endocrinologist and my dentist (Woohoo for Dr Greg LaVecchia!) as one of the top tooth-yankers in the area. He is smiley and soft in a way that soothes you as best as someone can in this situation. He offered me the option of being awake or asleep for the procedure, and because I'm a "problem patient" (i.e. can't sit still/ stay lucid) and also because I decided to go big and get the wisdom teeth pulled at the same time (you may as well), I decided to go under. The day of the surgery, his assistant Josephine helped coax me into the room. She was an absolute angel, and didn't make me feel badly for sobbing and violently squirming around. She kept her patience and stayed sweet. Dr. Corcoran also made an appearance while I was still awake and did his best to soothe me. Many thanks to both of them - I know it wasn't easy. My only suggestion to make it a five star experience would have been to update the rooms a bit, make them more comfortable and welcoming and feel a bit newer. Warm paint colors, new floors, and appropriate decorations go a long way for the nerves of patients sitting in those rooms! read more

Dr. Corcoran is fantastic! I went to see a different dentist the day before I saw Dr. Corcoran because I had some awful pain in my mouth, which I suspected was related to my wisdom tooth and possibly an infection. The dentist I saw before was not very helpful and couldn't explain to me what was happening and just said that I should take my wisdom teeth out, which I think is a generic cop-out. Thank goodness I was able to miraculously see Dr. Corcoran less than 24 hours later, who was extremely sharp, professional, and friendly! He explained in detail what was going on and confirmed that my tooth was infected, gave me a prescription to help with the infection and pain, and further explained to me what exactly will happen when he yanks my teeth out (upon my infection healing). He answered all my questions with deep knowledge and made me feel very confident in him, as anyone would want to feel when it comes to getting a part of you surgically removed. I have yet to get my wisdom teeth pulled out in a few weeks, but I've been extremely impressed with my experience with Dr. Corcoran. If I had not gone to see him, I would have continued to suffer from a very painful infection that a different dentist apparently could not diagnose and my situation could have gotten worse. In addition, I have never had any kind of surgery before and can't even handle getting shots, yet I am totally comfortable with Dr. Corcoran pulling my wisdom teeth out. Glad to hear from other yelpers that he also does a fantastic job with the surgery! The front office was also super friendly. One last note and tip: I went to the Falls Church office, which is not exactly metro-accessible, but I found out when I got there that there is a shuttle that takes you back and forth between the metro stop and the office. A great option for those like me who do not have a car! read more

Nobody EVER wants to go to the oral surgeon but if you have to go, this is the man to see. Dr. Corcoran is really laid back, easy going, entertaining, and puts you totally at ease. Hopefully I won't have to go back for a long time but if I need to go I'll be back here. read more

DO NOT USE THEM. I have battled their billing department for almost two years. They file incorrect codes that do not align with the standard codes -- creating issues with both the medical and dental codes for large providers like BCBS. When you seek help for the confusion, they file the EXACT same codes and do not make note in the system of the person with whom you spoke that said it would be resolved. My insurance contacted them with the necessary codes to file under dental (they ALWAYS file under medical even if you tell them in advance) and nothing was changed. To make matters worse, I moved during the battle and I thought it had been resolved. When I contacted the office they said they were going to send me to claims. I shared my new address and never received a call or bill after updating the information. A simple consultation that SHOULD have been a $30 co-pay turned into over a $100 mess. Until they change their billing department with more knowledgeable staff that can return a promised phone call, I would never use them for anything. I would also like to note, this situation happened to my partner. His billing was resolved after roughly 6 months of battling them, alas, mine was not and I am facing the consequences. read more

was referred by mine regular dentist which I really like.. I do believe that DDS T Concran has an experience as an older dentist but that is about all.. My tooth extraction was a bad and painful experiance... I was waiting in pain for an hour. Nobody cared or kept me posted. stuff not efficient nor professional. . I felt that I was Part of a factory assembly line to do with -fast -impersonal and get rid of asap...during 20 min surgical ordinal which went wrong and longer due to the wrong assessment I was now rushed to send me on my merry way very very fast... Besides facilities are pretty beat up I got an unclean feeling .. So off I go sure not to put my food there again... read more

I recently had my wisdom teeth extracted by Dr. Corcoran at the Arlington office. 1 was impacted, the other had already emerged. My other wisdom teeth were extracted previously by another oral surgeon and my previous experience left me dreading the current. (previously had the dry socket, huge swelling, you name it.) My dentist had sent me to several other oral surgeons who did not accept my dental insurance. I am happy that I found Dr. Corcoran via my insurance website. I used YELP and read all the reviews prior to choosing an oral surgeon. Below is why I have given Dr. Corcoran and his office 5 stars. - Bedside manner: I found that Dr. Corcoran has great bedside manner. He put me at ease during out consultation. My wait was long initially to see him, however, he was working on a case and the same attention that he gave to the patient he was with is exactly the same attention and detail that he gave to me. He answered all of my questions. - Ease of the process/front desk: The receptionist was very easy to work with and professional. She explained my insurance parameters and took her time assisting me. - The procedure: exactly as described. Quick, painless (except for the obvious). I chose IV sedation for my extraction and took only Motrin 800 mg 3 times a day for the first 5 days and iced as directed. I highly recommend Dr. Corcoran and his team. I trust this man with my teeth and hope he's around one day when I need implants. He really is a fantastic oral surgeon and medical provider. read more

Years later and I'm still in pain from what should have been a routine procedure - wisdom teeth removal. Corcoran is nice but that does not make up for the botched surgery and his lack of professionalism and care when I told him what went wrong in his office. Stay away. read more

I love him so much!!!! I had a difficult tooth that needed to be extracted and I had a bad experience trying to get it removed before so I just let it sit to the point that the gum grew around it....and then came Dr. Corcoron. He was fantastic! I came in so nervous but he gave me novocaine and gas and I sat and talked to both of his assistants (they were so sweet). Then he walked in and extracted my tooth in what felt like 5 minutes. I felt no pain and I was in and out in less than and hour. read more

I finally acquiesced to getting all four of my impacted wisdom teeth removed after five years of being told I needed to do so. On the recommendation of my dentist, I requested a consultation here. Dr. Corcoran was very low fuss and reassuring about the whole procedure. I felt at ease with him. The receptionist was sick when I went for my initial consult, and I ended up having to reschedule twice because I then got sick. I took one star off for her, because I think that people in the health care industry shouldn't be allowed to come to work sick! The staff was professional about my rescheduling needs. Also, I had a few additional questions about the type of anesthesia I wanted and Dr. Corcoran was kind enough to call me back and answer my questions prior to the procedure. Cut to day of. I was VERY anxious as I'd never gone under anesthesia. Dr. Corcoran and a nurse named Brenda were fantastic. I told them I wanted to go twilight at first and to give me more should I need it. They put me at ease and allowed my husband to stay in the room until the effects of the anesthesia kicked in. They even humored me by listening to me babble on and on about my honeymoon in order to distract myself from the IV. I did waked up at one point saying "ow" because I felt the needle in my mouth for the local anesthetic portion, but then I quickly fell asleep again and don't remember anything until I woke up asking for my husband and sticking my tongue out. I'll spare my fellow yelpers the details of my recovery. A week later, I went to the follow up consultation. Some of my dissolvable stitches were still in, but he said everything looked good! A few weeks later and I'm doing great! read more

Let's be honest, everyone hates the dentist. What's worse than the dentist? The ones that do root canals and then oral surgeons. You don't go there unless something pretty bad is going on and pain is almost always involved. Why would someone choose a profession where everyone hates being there and dreads the visits? I can't answer that but Dr. Corcoran is the best dental related professional I've met. He always is in good cheer and makes funny little jokes to cut the tension. He calls you afterwards to see how things are going. The pain was very minimal and not a single even minor complication with a tooth pulling and implant. The receptionist are also nice and with two offices in falls church and Arlington, always an appointment to be had despite his busy schedule. read more

Dr. Corcoran is one of the finest dentists I have ever had. He is humane, explains each step of the process carefully , has a positive attitude and great follow up on his work. Also, his assistants are first class staff. I couldn't be more pleased. read more

My daughter had her wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Corcoran. He and the two assistants that worked with him during the procedure were exceptional. They did a great job of explaining every step of the process as they went and putting my daughter at ease the whole time. I was able to stay with her up until the actual 20-30 minute extraction, which was reassuring for my daughter. Dr. Corcoran called during the evening to check on her, which is a level of service that is rare from any doctor. Top marks to the doc on down to the front office staff. read more

Dentists are ALWAYS scary. But, not Dr. CORCORAN. Dr. CORCORAN with his kindness, friendliness, patience, gentleness, and his extreme knowledge and mastery of the dentistry made the painful experience like a breeze for me. He has a great staff and a wonderful team in Glebe Road Office; from Heather who takes the appointments all the way to the Nurses that help him in the procedure, (Mine was Lexy, hope I spelled it correctly, she was great), they are all so kind, nice, cooperative, understanding, and amazing that definitely will put you at ease. Only one of them needs a little bit more work, seems like it that this individual is not very happy being there, I don't know much about the Falls Church Office, but I am sure that they are as good as the Glebe Road. I highly recommend him, and if there were more than five stars here, I would have given him all the stars. read more

My dentist referred me to an oral surgeon because- after 31 years of not bothering me - he decided that he saw something on my X-ray around the wisdom teeth that needed a more professional opinion. He first referred me to a surgeon who he knew personally. I went there for an evaluation. Then, upon hearing what needed to be done to my chompers and jaw I realized I needed a surgeon that was both in medical (carefirst) and dental (metlife) networks. The first surgeon was not in both. So I was a bit stuck. I found Dr Corcoran on both my insurance sites as in-network (of course looked at Yelp) and called his office. Immediately, this is where the ease of mind started, his staff member, Heather, was extremely helpful in coaching me what to tell the first surgeon and what to get from them to make things easier when i shawed up at Dr. C's. She scheduled my 2nd consultation and the surgery with Dr. Corcoran for 2 days after that so I wouldn't have to wait and I already had an idea of what needed to get done. Fast forward 2 weeks without a great night of sleep and tons of webmd, I had my consultation. Dr. Corcoran immediately put me to ease. Where my initial diagnosis was scary he made it clear that it wasn't as bad as it was made out to be. He was very comforting and funny and answered all my questions candidly. He did concur though that after 30 years - the wisdom teeth, impacted (but not painful), needed to go before they cause MORE damage. Peace out teeth... (there's nothing wise about them btw they should be called dumb teeth) Fast forward 2 more days: I never had an IV (even giving blood scares me), I never had any surgery, I never had anesthesia. I was a ball of nerves for the surgery today. Again, the doc and his staff were GREAT. After they hooked me up, you could actually hear the calming influence when my heartbeats went from playing LMFAO to Coldplay on the monitor. This was before they even hit the button for the good stuff. Then before I knew it, I was snoozing. The doc went to work and I woke up to the same smiling faces and a Vicodin prescription...and a ride out to my girlfriends car. I still have some fat cheeks, hamburger withdrawal, and wont be hitting the town this weekend but Dr. Corcoran's part of this adventure is over and he gets a 5-star. So glad that I stumbled in to him (and literally away from him this morning) I do agree with the earlier review that the office ambience could use some updates but I guess when you are having teeth cut out while sleeping it doesn't need to look like a Vegas hotel.... Keep an eye out for upcoming yelp reviews of pinkberry, pho, and other soft food eateries!! read more

What a pleasure. Yes, pleasure and dentist in the same review. Here's why: Dr. Corcoran was warm, friendly, thoroughly competent, seemed quite kind-hearted, and was very, very professional. To start with his warm smile and very affable, engaging demeanor put you at ease. After that, his detailed explanation of the procedure and his commitment to "not hurting you" were just great. His willingness to use plenty of Novocaine was much appreciated. He then had the patience to let round one work before administering round two, then waiting patiently for that to work. These things were all confidence-inspiring. Dr. Corcoran was very communicative--he told you what was going on while he was doing it ("It's halfway out, won't be long now!"). He discussed the procedure ahead of time and sought my agreement before proceeding. This was extremely reassuring. The front office staff--both on the phone and at check in, were very cool, relatively inflexible and almost dismissive ("Next Wednesday at 10:30 is all we have. Period.") They may benefit from some customer relations coaching. That said, Dr. Corcoran's clinical assistant, Brenda, was amazing--she had me laughing within five minutes of getting into the chair. The dentist's chair! Well-done. Throughout, Brenda was friendly, happily distracting, and one again extremely professional. All in all, a wonderful visit to the oral surgeon. Who else can say that? read more

My 7-year-old had to have extra teeth pulled under general anesthesia. Dr. Corcoran was wonderful...gentle, competent, and caring. He called us at home the night of her surgery to check on us and took extra time to explain things to us. Love him! read more

No one wants to see an Oral Surgeon, but I can honestly say Dr. Corcoran made it a pleasant experience. My initial consult was very reassuring, and he took extra time to review options with me, as I have a complicated situation involving four different doctors. My extraction was quick and pretty painless, and the only thing better would have been to not need the surgery in the first place! I highly recommend Dr. Corcoran. read more

If you are getting your wisdom teeth out, you should definitely check out Dr Corcoran. He is friendly, patient, professional, and also very caring. He even tells jokes to calm you down and make you laugh before surgery! I got my wisdom teeth out today and I could not have had a better experience! The nurses are very friendly and take very good care of you. The procedure is fast and I had almost no wait in the waiting room. Dr Corcoran is a pleasure to be around, and I would recommend him to anyone getting their wisdom teeth out. read more

Dr Corcoran was recommended by my general dentist as one of the best specialists for a dental implant. I'm glad he was my doctor for this procedure. He was thorough, answered all of my questions, and has a wry sense of humor. His prices are competitive and he called me in the evening, several hours after my implant surgery to check with me. I have to get two more implants and will definitely be returning to the Glebe Road office. As far as pain goes, it was really no worse than getting a filling. read more

I recently had my wisdom teeth extracted, and i had been dreading this appointment for months. Finally the pain was unbearable. They were able to fit me the as soon as possible. Dr. Corcoran took his time with the procedure, and explained what was happening throughout the procedure. Next thing i know he was done. He also called me that night to check up on me, and make sure my pain meds were doing their job. Getting your teeth extracted is never fun, but he sure did an amazing job. read more

I just had my referral consultation with Dr. Corcoran a few weeks ago at his Falls Church office. He's friendly, informative, and patient. Our conversation about my prospective procedure was casual and comfortable. He was reassuring and took his time explaining the risks involved, which reconciled nicely with the research I had done. I'm looking forward to working with him in the near future. I'll update my review accordingly based on the quality of service he provides. read more

My daughter saw Dr. Corcoran at the Falls Church office to have her wisdom teeth taken out. I have also used Dr. Corcoran to take care of a dental implant. Always found him to be knowledgeable, easy going and professional. The latest experience with having the wisdom teeth out has gone well. Dr. Corcoran called the evening of the procedure to check on how my daughter was doing, and he gave appropriate pain medication. When I followed up a couple days later with the office staff, I found them to be responsive and helpful. No one likes having their wisdom teeth taken out, but this experience has gone better and Dr. Corcoran has been terrific. read more

This review is long overdue. Dr. Corcoran removed all four of my wisdom teeth in October. Three of them were pretty severely impacted, so I was nervous about pain, dry socket, nerve damage, and other maladies I'd read about online. Dr. Corcoran's demeanor put me completely at ease. He explained everything, answered all my questions, and was straightforward that I should expect a longer than average recovery time--without being alarmist. At his recommendation, I opted for general anesthesia. The procedure went smoothly and I didn't have any complications with my recovery. His office staff was incredibly patient and helpful when I needed them to walk me through my final bill. I recommend Dr. Corcoran without reservation, especially for that more complicated procedure you've been putting off for a while! read more

A month ago I had a wisdom tooth extracted by Dr. Corcoran at his Falls Church office. My dentist had recommended the extraction because of crowding, and I wasn't sure if it needed to be done. At the consult Dr. Corcoran explained very clearly why he agreed with my dentist, and I decided to go ahead. Not all oral surgeons do a consult first as a matter of practice, and I very much appreciate that Dr. Corcoran does. My consult was good for a year, so I was able to plan the surgery around other medical treatments. On the day of the extraction Dr. Corcoran explained exactly what would happen and what I could expect afterward. Everything went just the way he said it would. Knowing what would happen really lowered my level of anxiety. His assistant had reviewed all aftercare with me before the procedure, so I was able to leave as soon as it was complete. Other reviewers have commented on the professionalism of the office staff, and that was my experience as well. My check-out went so smoothly that I eventually called back to see if there was anything that I needed to do so that paperwork was complete, and I was assured that there was not; it was all done. If I need oral surgery again, I will be back. Dr. Corcoran and his staff are highly competent and highly considerate. read more

As you can tell from my profile, I don't write alot of reviews, I write reviews when my experience is really good or really bad. Dr. Corcoran's office and visit was really good. I had to have a tooth extraction and Dr. Corcoran and his team were first rate. It took Dr. Corcoran about 2 minutes to extract the tooth in question, and I didn't experience any pain what so ever. It was my first visit to his office and I was really impressed with the whole operation, I highly recommend him. read more

I know my reviews are usually extreme (1 or 5 stars) but those are really the only situations in which I'm motivated to write reviews! I have been to countless doctors' offices - medical surgeons, dentists, endocrinologists, hematologists, plastic surgeons, pediatricians, primary care physicians, LASIK surgeons, Hopkins, Georgetown, Wilmer, San Francisco, Manhattan, DC, Chicago, Philadelphia - you name it, I've gone, usually to accompany my mother. I have to say that Dr. Corcoran's office is the first office I've visited that has been exemplary in every way. The front office staff and dental assistants are all unfailingly polite, friendly and professional (this in and of itself is basically a miracle - for the most part, front office staff in DC Metro area MD offices are horrible, nasty, unhelpful and just plain rude). Dr. Corcoran's staff are flexible, compassionate (agreed to put a placeholder in for my surgery before it was confirmed by the Dr just to put my mind at ease since my insurance would be running out soon) and efficient/competent (when's the last time a doctor's office voluntarily sent you a check for the amount they owed you after insurance paid up? WITHOUT PROMPTING? *Never*. Usually they try to hold onto that cash with every ounce of energy their grubby hands have got, to help their cash flow. Not so at Whiston Patterson and Corcoran!) Not only that, they answer the phone on the first couple rings and don't make you wade through phone tree hell. The dental assistants take their jobs seriously and are very thorough in their explanations and patient prep. And everyone plays their respective roles with perpetual smiles on their faces, always at the ready with a kind comment or friendly banter. Truly impressive. Dr. Corcoran himself is a hoot - besides his impeccable technical skill (effortlessly extracted a molar that had only a sliver of visible tooth remaining, successfully placed the implant for the same molar in 45 minutes flat), he has a sense of humor, loves putting people at ease, and could even be called a bit folksy in his communication style. Always patient, always jovial, he loves to answer questions and explain details, but is efficient and competent at the same time. WIth all this, I could care less how the office looks. I'm just glad that an operation like this exists, in any form! I commend everyone there for making us patients feel so well-cared-for. Look forward to going back in a week for my 1 week dental implant followup. Edit: after writing that novel, I realized I forgot to note that the office is PROMPT! I have never waited more than 3 minutes before being taken back to one of the exam/treatment rooms. *Disclaimer: this is for the Glebe Rd office only. Have no idea what their Arlington Blvd office is like. read more

I was seen at Dr. Corcoran's Glebe Road location. He was recommended by my general dentist. I expected to receive quality care and service. Sadly, the office staff at this location was surprisingly unprofessional and clearly only had the desire to do the bare minimum. They seemed more concerned with heating their frozen dinner and shouting to each other patient insurance information. Dr. Corcoran was friendly and seemed very competent and capable. He was nice enough fit me in for an implant even though the office staff said his schedule was full. But, the other contributing factor to this two star review is that on the day of my appointment my flight got in an hour late which put my arrival for my appointment 12 minutes late. I called the office to let them know of the delay and they said they were unable to do the procedure because of the 12 minute delay. I was surprised by this answer and asked them to reconsider and was told that "if you're not here by 12 minutes after the hour, the doctor isn't doing it". Given the invasive nature of the procedure I had zero desire to have it done by someone who clearly did not want to do it. I would highly recommend seeking care elsewhere. read more

I saw Dr. Corcoran for a tooth extraction and he was amazing. His front office staff was kind and patient when I couldn't find my dental insurance info. I was promptly brought back and greeted by Dr. Corcoran. He was helpful and informative. He made me feel at ease and answered my questions with no sense of annoyance and didn't seem to be in a big hurry (which is huge in my opinion when most doctors make you feel like just another patient). I was offered nitrous oxide and I asked about the cost and if it was covered by my insurance and the nurse (Carol) double checked for me. Once the "laughing gas" was given, the nurse (Evelyn) stayed in the room with me and was very personable. Dr. Corcoran came in to check on me after the topical was administered, after the novocaine was given, and when it was time for the extraction. He was funny and told jokes to put me at ease (I laughed and it wasn't just the gas). After the procedure I was given gauze and directions to take home on how to have a proper recovery. The most important thing to note is that Dr. Corcoran called me that night to check in. What a sweet and thoughtful gesture! I couldn't recommend this place more! read more

Dr. Corcoran removed a small cyst from the inside of my mouth. The experience could not have been better. Both the initial consultation and the surgery happened on time. He provided precise information about what was going to happen - always very professional and friendly. The surgery lasted about 10 minutes, and I am recovering without issues. read more

Dr. Corcoran is an excellent doctor! I read a lot of reviews on Yelp and other sites and everyone was correct in stating that he makes you feel more at ease with your wisdom teeth situation. I went to my consultation last week and I was greeted by his extremely professional and friendly front desk assistant, Heather. She explained what my insurance would cover and clarified the charges. Dr. Corcoran took a look at my widsom teeth and explained everything to me in detail and I did not feel rushed at all. He made me feel like it would be a walk in the park. I wish every doctor I have had would be like him- makes you feel at ease and very calm.I had all my wisdom teeth removed this past Monday and everything went well. He and his entire team and assistant made me feel so comfortable and when I woke up from the anesthesia, everything was done! I didn't feel a thing. Heather was amazing and phoned my pharmacy to fill my prescription (that I forgot to fill before my procedure). When we got to the pharmacy, the prescription was ready to be picked up. Four days later, I asked Dr. Corcoran's office to fax a note to my employer and it was done in less than 10 minutes by Heather! I have had a very positive experience and will recommend this doctor and his office to anyone and everyone I know. I do agree that their office is outdated, but it is clean. I would rather have a great doctor and good care than an updated office. read more

Dr. Corcoran is the friendliest doctor I have ever met. He is great at what he does and made me feel at ease during my wisdom tooth extraction. I was very nervous, but he and his staff helped keep me calm. The whole procedure went very well, no complaints. Didn't swell, had minimal pain afterwards, and healed very nicely! Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Can't recommend him enough! read more

Dr. Corcoran and his office staffs in the Falls Church, VA are so friendly and professional. I am not regret that I dropped the oral surgeon that my dentist recommended originally. I selected Dr. Corcoran based-on this site and other articles. Nothing wrong with the experience of that oral surgeon, but the professional levels of his billing staff was the reason that I refused to do the implant by him after the initial evaluation visit. From my point of view, patients deal with the front desk and billing staffs most of the time. If those are not friendly and professional, I will not go with that dentist, regardless because I will have headache later when I am billed for procedures that insurance does not cover. With Dr. Corcoran, I visited 8 times for both bone graft and implant procedures, very happy with the billing and expectation. Even one time, I did not need to request, his office sent me a refund check because the Insurance Contract PDP Fee for a procedure was lower than what estimated before. I don't need to review Dr. Corcoran any more because all other reviews already talk about him. read more
