I'm a bit heartbroken with this review. First of all Dr Boots is absolutely AMAZING at what he does…read moreno doubt about that. I can agree with those comments that say he's absolutely great in every aspect he's gentle, understanding, and doesn't push procedures you don't need like others do. Almost every time I've gone to him for over 10 years he's been the best with all my dental needs as well as my families. As a small practice I understand why he doesn't take any new clients cause his hours and his family needs are important and I understand that and respect that. When it comes to the front office it can be a bit frustrating & upsetting at times when phones aren't answered during work hrs or when appointments are canceled so last minute. I understand there are emergencies but contacting patients is important as well because they stop what they do to be there on time and part of customer service is communicating that. I've had pretty bad pain these past few days on a top right molar that I'm sure is going to be a Root Canal but I haven't been able to get a hold of anybody. I've called when they just open and have had to come in person during their work hrs and they are closed. No sign as a warning for patients. I understand the holidays are coming and at times they do close but I feel posting it in their front door or something would be the professional thing to do or The Staff taking care of that but at times it seems they don't care. The hours they have on their Yelp doesn't match in reality. I've tried calling several times and it's the same recording since we started coming 10 years ago it rings 2-3 times and then voicemail that It feels they never get to. I don't think I'm asking for a lot to be in the loop and know they will be closed from this date to further noice if that's the case. Maybe a new recording would be great it takes a few minutes to make one that sounds friendly and a bit more professional in my defense. Like I said I'm heartbroken because I really genuinely love coming to Dr. Boots but a bit more effort has to go into the front to feel some sort of compassion or to feel heard when someone is going thru some sort of pain and especially someone who is a recurring customer of 10+ years and has referred so many people here.. As desperate as I am I contacted another Dentist that gave me an appointment for Friday and even sent a text as a reminder and to save on my calendar.. that's all it takes and I felt heard. That's all...

I bit my lip and ended up with this annoying little bump that refused to go away. I tried my…read moregeneral doctor, a derm, and my dentist, but nobody could give me a real answer. It was so frustrating. Everyone told me to wait, but the bump wasn't going away and looked gross. When I finally got in to see Dr. Yagoubian, it felt like such a relief. He saw me quickly, explained everything in a really calm, reassuring way, and removed the mucocele that same day. He then sent it to pathology and thankfully it came back benign. That peace of mind alone was worth everything. Recovery was a bit tougher than I expected, and right after the procedure I panicked thinking it was still there--but it was just swelling and bruising. Within about a week and a half, I was almost completely back to normal. His staff was honestly amazing. They were so kind, patient with my million questions, they provided clear instructions in what to do, eat and what not. If you're dealing with a stubborn lip bump and feeling stressed or confused (like I was), I really recommend seeing Dr. Yagoubian. Thank you!

I want to share my experience with this office from a billing and administrative standpoint as I…read morenever made it to the procedure itself. I was referred to Dr. Yagoubian for a tooth extraction, bone graft and membrane. I paid a $200 consultation fee upfront which I felt should have been applied toward my procedure as standard business practice. After scheduling my procedure I decided to call my insurance Concordia myself to verify my coverage. Here is what I found: Extraction D7210 covered at 80% Bone Graft D7953 covered at 0% Membrane D7956 covered at 0% Concordia also confirmed that this office had never submitted a predetermination on my behalf. My total out of pocket for just ONE tooth extraction with bone graft and membrane was quoted at $1,900. When I factored in that I need 4 implants eventually the numbers became completely unmanageable. I also came across multiple Yelp reviews from other patients describing the exact same experience, surprise bills, no predetermination submitted and feeling misled about costs. Dr. Yagoubian is clearly a skilled and highly trained surgeon and I have no doubt about the quality of his work. However the billing and administrative practices of this office are a serious concern and patients deserve full transparency before agreeing to any procedure. My advice to anyone considering this office: Call your insurance yourself before your appointment Request a predetermination before scheduling any procedure Get all costs in writing before agreeing to anything Ask specifically what is and is not covered by your insurance I am grateful I did my research before going through with the procedure. Please do yours too.

It was clean and organized. Receptionists were friendly and communicative. Since I was comparing costs, I asked and they were very transparent both about the evaluation cost and treatment costs after the evaluation. I ended up switching to Dr.Oseas and glad we did!

I had to make several calls in February 2026 to Medicare (who Dr. Oseas is not a provider for) and my dental insurance. The bill was paid in March 2026 by my dental insurance. They had not received any requests for payment until November of 2025. Today I received a bill for a very small amount with a note that my "Balance is overdue! Action my be taken by a collection agency". Wow, is all I can say..... I am certain they would not have gotten paid unless I did all the leg work. I am not going back to this office.

If your considering getting Dental work or surgery done here, with this so-called Dr. "Omotto", or…read morewhatever the hell his name is, be forewarned and please read this first. He didn't care about me so tit for tat. I say this sincerely... so you dont need to endure the pain and cold treatment. I'm also sorry for the review length but I wanted to share all the details and let u decide. This "Dental Surgeon" is competent enough at first glance. The office is nice enough. Must have been paid with a lot of money. Remember that. I had a very tough extraction of two teeth but the day of surgery it jumped up to 3 and then 4... WTF?? I wanted to know where he was getting this info and why it was needed. As a patient, do I not have the right to know? Especially since its deviating from what was agreed on?! My other sub-par Dentist at least stated they didnt agree with this. Maybe in the future it may be needed but not now. It seemed like Omotto was just searching how to con me out of more money. Because when that didnt work.. So I said just the two and no more. Like our original agreement. I was already stretched to the limit in terms of finances and here for surgery. Not more consultation. However, it wasn't over but now he also wants more x-rays!! My other Dentist already sent them; full 360 and up close detail of the area from a few days ago. So now he wants the same thing and an extra $260?? Again... NO. They were sent and on his desk!! He wasn't happy with my decision and literally shook his head. Why? To do what we had agreed on? So we forged ahead and almost had terror hit home. I needed sedation and was being strapped down with bright lights in my face. I explicitly told them that this type of situation usually causrs panic attacks as I suffer from PTSD. I was/still am USMC and was captured and tortured once. Despite telling them before to give me some anti-anxiety medication FIRST they were doing the opposite I was fading and starting to lose it when the ONE GOOD PERSON I'd met there helped out. I had a very sweet and caring Nurse, "G" When she did a very human and sympathetic action. She softly and in-no-way unprofessional, touched my face and gently kept saying it would be okay until the anti-anxiety medicine was given and eventually I was put under. Afterwards, she was there to help me walk and get my bearings again. She didnt rush me. She made sure I was coming out of the sedation fog and didnt push it. "G" If u somehow read this, thank you so much! You get the Star for this place. I'm sorry for the things you probably endure each day there. Getting back to basics, I was concerned about the lack of PPE's (Personal Protective Gear) as there was limited to none. Just FYI as that's standard practice. Will be checking with BBB on that... Further, Dr. Otto-whatever never stopped to see me in recovery, nor did he call or text to check and see how I was doing. None of his staff either! I never saw or heard from him again. From the say prior in consultation, he is smug and brash, acting like he knows everything and his patients are all idiots and things like my genuine concerns aren't important to him. He didnt take notes or anything when I outlined some very important things to know!! He wants his money or a significant $$$ down before he even gives you the time of day. Period. And then he gets it, does his sub-standard work (as I'm still hurting), and pardon my French, but I am a human being, and you have no right to treat me that way. I fought and risked my life for 20 god damn years for your freedom and safety just to get talked down to like I'm a sub-standard human being because I have some nightmares on things you couldn't handle for a day? ÷×@# you!! I would not recommend this place or Doctor to anyone. It looks nice and I'm sure that's from all money he has swindled out of people for extra things. He doesn't care about his patients, how they may be hurting or barely getting by, just their money. Dentistry is an option in life I guess. Forget a courtesy like checking with your patients after a procedure, being available for any questions, or listening to concerns any patient may have. I dont ask for much. But act like so many other Doctors out there that think they they know what is best, are above others, and forget emotions or feelings patients may have. Its damn cruel and actions speak louder than words. Rarely do I say it... but I feel this guy is nothing more than a presumptuous sadistic jerk. I guess Dentistry is just is just that. I'm not asking for a therapist. Just FYI to understand me and maybe not have sub-standard care. 1 star for the nice nurse but no more because you are specialist and supposed to be better. Newsflash. Your not.

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.
