I had a very disappointing experience with the front desk office manager, Genesis…read more My husband had a consultation appointment, and we were told that the services would be covered through our insurance with no patient responsibility. However, the office did not properly verify the insurance information and benefits before the appointment, and a $145 balance was later assigned to us. I discovered the balance through the Delta Dental PPO portal in mid-September and received a written notice in the mail in late September. I had already contacted the office to explain that I was disputing the balance and that a grievance with Delta Dental was pending. I called again to provide an update regarding the grievance and discuss the situation. During that call, I found Genesis's communication to be rude and unprofessional. Rather than working with us while the insurance matter was under review, Genesis stated that if we did not pay the $145 that same day, the balance would be sent to collections. I found this response intimidating and inappropriate, particularly because the grievance remains pending and the balance resulted from the office's failure to properly verify our insurance and clearly communicate our expected financial responsibility before the appointment. Patients should be able to rely on a dental office to accurately verify insurance benefits and clearly explain any expected out-of-pocket costs before services are provided. Unfortunately, that was not our experience here. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this office to my family or friends. Future patients should be aware of our experience and look for a reliable dental office.

Going to the dentist is never fun, and needing oral surgery makes it even less exciting. What…read morestands out about Dr. Tchon and his staff is how comfortable and welcoming the entire office feels. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a friendly receptionist, and here's the surprising part--you aren't left sitting in the waiting room forever. Within moments of arriving, you're usually brought back to a treatment room. The entire team treats patients with kindness and professionalism, and Dr. Tchon himself is honest, straightforward, and easy to talk to. He explains things clearly without making you feel rushed or pressured. I'll be honest--I actually look forward to my visits here, which is not something I ever thought I'd say about a dental office. As for my implant surgery, it's still a work in progress, so I can't give a final review on the outcome just yet. However, based on my most recent follow-up appointment, everything appears to be healing and progressing well. I felt compelled to write this review now because exceptional service deserves recognition. The level of care, professionalism, and positive atmosphere at this office has made what could have been a stressful experience much easier. I'll be sure to update my review once the implant process is fully complete.

I received a VIP experience at TorriMed, from scheduling my appointment to the needed extraction…read more One of my most significant concerns with the service at TorriMed is if they are in my Guardian network. Once confirmed. I told the receptionist about the urgency of my situation, and I was scheduled ASAP. On the day of my appointment, I received a call from the doctor's office asking if I could come in earlier. I did, but I completed the digital intake forms they sent before arriving. I was glad to complete the forms at my own pace at home. Plenty of parking was on site, and the atmosphere was clean, bright, upbeat, and open. I provided the receptionist with my dental referral information. One of the first things I notice is the state-of-the-art equipment. They could have me stand at a machine that scanned my face, and within moments, they had an x-ray of my mouth on the display. Dr. Samuel introduced himself and assessed the situation. I asked if he would be able to do the extraction that day. Dr. Samuel responded, "That's why I called you in earlier so that, if possible, we could do the extraction today." I was all in. So Dr. Samuel prepared me by telling me what to expect and explained a procedure he uses to promote rapid healing. The only drawback for me was the cost of the procedure and that it involved drawing some blood from me. That was the first drawing of blood at the dentist. We came to an agreement that included the Dr. providing a 200-dollar discount. I am happy with the excellent service from Dr. Samuel and his entire staff. One suggestion: pipe some soothing healing vibration music in the surgery room. I highly recommend Dr. Samuel and the TorriMed Oral Surgery and Dental Implants office. I will be back again. When you go, tell them Omar sent you.

I didn't see many reviews for Dr. Kyle Yamamoto, the other resident oral surgeon and had him…read morerecently. All I can say is -- exceptional. I had wisdom teeth that I didn't get extracted at a younger age due to financial constraints. It was a difficult extraction and we suspected I might have some sinus complications going in. Part of my tooth fractured and I had to come back for a followup to get it removed. I was pretty nervous, but Dr. Yamamoto spent a lot of time describing the procedures and making sure I was comfortable. I had remarkably no pain following either with his instructions and recommendations. Also, the staff were very nice and heartwarming (also fellow bruins!). If you come here and need oral surgery, you can't go wrong with either surgeon. Thank you so much Dr. Yamamoto!! You rock!!

If you have any anxiety about medical procedures, I suggest seeking a consult with any of the other…read moreoral surgeons in the South Bay that have substantially better reviews and do not resort to teasing a patient for their concerns. For context, my son had to have a tooth removed when he was 7 years old with Dr. Kawahara because he was too anxious to have it done with his pediatric dentist. Now almost 10 years later, we saw Dr Kawahara for a consult on removal for his impacted wisdom teeth. Upon seeing Dr. Kawahara years later and discussing how it had been a while, he teased my son about how he remembers my son crying and screaming before....which in reality my son didn't do in his office - since he had been prescribed anti-anxiety medicine beforehand for the minor procedure. (I think this comment was meant as a joke, but Dr. Kawahara's delivery is very dry; regardless we shrugged it off as a bad attempt at humor and a weird way to attempt to reestablish trust with a patient.) As we began discussing the surgery process for wisdom teeth removal, I shared that our son is slightly anxious about the surgery after hearing friends talk about their experience. With dry humor, Dr. Kawahara teased "most people survive." He repeated this phrase during our consult at least 3 more times. It began to be rude since he clearly heard me attempt to reassure my son about the IV that would be needed and recovery. Dr. Kawahara STILL insisted on repeating the phrase, "but most people survive." It became annoying to the point that I literally asked Dr. Kawahara, "Why do you continue to use that phrase when I have repeatedly expressed my son is slightly anxious about the procedure?" His response was that he was just joking. I found his way with my son to be quite insensitive and lacking in emotional intelligence. My teenage son also found the whole experience off-putting, so we are happily having his surgery done with another oral surgeon. If your dentist or orthodontist initially refers you to this office, I suggest scheduling a consult with another oral surgeon (to avoid wasting $200+ for the consult fee). There are multiple other surgeons with better reviews, so don't settle when you can see someone better.

However, upon arrival, the receptionist informed me that I was booked for an extraction and replacement instead. When I explained that this was incorrect, she dismissed my concern and simply stated that the doctor would decide what I needed. Despite arriving on time, I waited nearly two hours past my scheduled appointment. Feeling completely unvalued, I eventually notified the staff that I was leaving. I have been a patient at this dentist offices for about five years, tolerating previous poor experiences solely due to the convenient location. It is clear they are now overbooking appointments to prioritize profit over patient care, and they no longer show basic concern for their clients' time or well-being. I will not be returning and cannot recommend this practice.
