    Great experience and well treated! Thank you Dr. Matthew and Rocil! Also, big thanks to the team…read morebehind the scenes that made this possible! The office is a nice facility and the waiting area was large with plenty of seating. Many smiling faces greeted me and made me feel welcome. Consultation was informative and all questions and concerns were answered. Surgery took place and it went very well. Dr. Matthew took the time to explain what the plan was and he was aware of my well-being because he would ask if I'm doing okay. I felt like I was in good and experienced hands. I would recommend INLAND EMPIRE ORAL & MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY to those who are looking for a good oral surgeon who treat patients like their own and do excellent work. I am very happy with the results and I think IEOMS did a great job!

Enter Dr. Matt Dudziak: a god amongst men. I was genuinely shocked by how easy he made the whole thing. As someone who's never even had a filling, I was nervous going in. But the process? Virtually pain-free. He was reassuring, funny, and made me feel completely at ease the entire time. They even played my favorite music as they treated me. The care and communication were top-notch from start to finish. Even through my after care. The office is state of the art and uses the latest technology to maximum benefit. Five stars ain't enough. If I had any artistic skill, I'd build a small statue of this man in my front yard. Highly, highly recommended.

    This review has been in my drafts for quite some time and I've been on the fence about posting it,…read morebut here is our experience...the good and the bad and the wtf. My son was referred to Chino Valley Oral Surgery by his orthodontist for impacted wisdom teeth removal. He was able to make an appointment for a consultation followed by the surgery to be done on the same day. One thing that I found odd was that he never got a reminder call or confirmation regarding his appointment, so I had him call the day prior to he sure he was scheduled. On the day of the appointment (consult and surgery) Dr. Lee was thorough and informative during the consultation, and gave us the opportunity to ask questions we might have. We then met with the office manager Leticia, was very understanding, knowledgeable and helpful in sorting out our insurance and billing. Then my son went into surgery, which was very fast. Post procedure, Dr. Lee met with us and said it went smoothly. My main issue is with the back office staff/dental assistants...they obviously did not communicate with each other and both were rushing to get us out. My son was still very sedated from the surgery and could barely keep his eyes open. One staff gave me VERBAL post op instructions and a small baggie with 4 pieces of gauze, saying it would be enough (which it wasn't, as my son had quite a bit of bleeding afterwards) and that she would change the gauze in his mouth before we go (didn't happen because another staff member walked us out to the car). In my past personal experience with wisdom teeth extractions, and knowing that food particles can get stuck in the gum pocket, I asked about flushing the extraction sites with a syringe and was simply told NO. Then a second staff member approached us and said "see you next week" assuming we already had an appointment, but in fact did not. She rolled her eyes & quickly returned with an appointment card, did not give me an opportunity or ask what day or time would work for us. She then proceeded to direct & walk us to the exit & to our car, and it happened so fast that I didn't even get a chance to ask about the gauze change. For quite some time, we were worried about dry socket, as my son complained of pain, still had some bleeding, and had difficulty eating solid food for several days after the procedure. However, at the follow up appointment, one week later, we were told everything was healing and there was no infection; and my son was given a syringe for flushing the extraction sites.

    By far the best Oral Surgeon, I am never going anywhere else.The staff is so friendly, the Dr. is…read moreso nice and extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He explains everything.

During that time,…read morewe have received a wide range of services, including crowns, wisdom tooth extractions, Invisalign, and even a dental implant. With every visit, we feel confident knowing we are in capable and dependable hands. We are always warmly welcomed by name, and the entire team consistently demonstrates professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care. Janice has been especially helpful in guiding us through our insurance coverage and clearly outlining our financial responsibilities, allowing us to plan accordingly. She is an absolute pleasure to work with. I recently referred a friend to Dr. Barsoum for an extraction, and she was thoroughly impressed by the experience and the exceptional care she received. At my most recent visit, Mare assisted Dr. Barsoum. It is always a privilege to have her involved in my care--she is patient, attentive, and gentle. She took great care to ensure my desired results were achieved, and I am truly thrilled with the outcome. My smile has never looked better. This entire team and practice is a true gem.

The office is very clean and pleasant, Hannah, his assistant, was so accommodating that she even asked me for my music preference to play during the procedure. This was my second extraction by Dr. Kim. The first being three years ago. An infected lower molar was extracted quickly and the infected area was treated with no pain experienced, only a very little pressure was felt. The second extraction was two days ago. This time an upper molar broke off making the extraction more challenging. My sinus area was also involved and inflamed. Once again no pain was felt and both procedures were performed using local anesthesia. I was given the option of general anesthesia but declined it both times with no regrets. Recovery has been quick for both extractions with minimal bleeding the first half hour when changing the gauze. No pain medications have been needed for both procedures. I highly recommend Dr. Kim to all my friends and family. I was referred here both times by my regular dentist, Dr. Lawrence Wong, who only has the highest regard for Dr. Kim and his staff.

Furthermore, when we met the dentist, (this visit was for my minor Child) he spoke to her like she was a grown adult and was very over confident and had a lack of compassion. I have no doubt that the dentist is probably good at what he does, but the way we were treated also matters. I do not recommend this place.

    I was referred to Dr. Gilbert because I was interested in removing a devitalized molar and getting…read morea dental implant. The molar had been bothering me for years but I finally decided to do something about it. When I had my X-ray taken, Dr. Gilbert showed me that the molar and surrounding gum tissue were infected and that my body has been fighting an active infection! I had been feeling more run-down than usual this past year I thought that it could be this molar; I was relieved to discover that I was right. I immediately scheduled a surgery date for the extraction, bone graft, and ensuing dental implant. Dr. Gilbert told me that I would feel so much better after getting the molar removed. The day arrived and I had my molar removed as a well as the bone graft. Dr. Gilbert was right, I felt so much better immediately after surgery! I didn't bleed much and didn't have much swelling. Moreover, I barely had any pain and only had to take one Motrin the first day - which I took preemptively but I probably didn't need it. About a month ago, I went back for the dental implant procedure. The X-ray showed that my bone graft was adequate and I went right into surgery. After the second surgery, I was grateful to experience a similar result as the first surgery - very little bleeding, pain, or swelling. I just went in for my 4 week follow-up and my implant healed nicely, so nicely in fact that my gums healed over the implant! I have a bone-disease similar to osteoporosis and I'm very particular about who I choose to operate on me. Dr. Gilbert presented himself as professional, confident, and most importantly capable of meeting the challenge of performing a successful dental implant procedure on me. Thank you, Dr. Gilbert! And also thank you to all of the staff and dental assistants who are all very pleasant and respectful of their patient's time!

From routine cleanings to more detailed procedures, he's always thorough, patient, and genuinely invested in your long term dental health. What really sets the Upland office for success is the team. I am sure the same standard carries through the entire practice locations. From the front desk always welcoming and efficient (no chaotic waiting room energy) everything runs like a well-orchestrated operation. Dr Barsoum takes the time to explain options clearly, never rushes decisions, and makes you feel comfortable, even if you're not exactly excited about being in a dental chair. The office is clean, modern, and runs on schedule (which I deeply respect). If you are looking for a dentist who combines skill, professionalism and genuinely caring team, this is the place. After years as a patient, I wouldn't trust my sole anywhere else!

I originally scheduled a cleaning (which i made pretty clear that's what my appointment was for) and also wanted my wisdom tooth checked since it was hurting. When I arrived, I was told they would not be doing a cleaning that day and that I would need a separate appointment so they only examined my wisdom tooth and recommended removal. After that, I was told to wait in the lobby so someone could explain the next steps for surgery. I waited around 40 minutes, and I was very patient and made it clear I was still waiting. Someone eventually came up, realized I had been waiting, and had another staff member speak with me. Even then, I waited another 10-15 minutes. When I was finally seen, the explanation was very quick (less than 5 minutes) and I did not receive any real information about how to prepare for surgery or what to expect. The staff member also seemed rushed and uninterested. On the day of surgery, I was told I had a copay of over $175 without being informed beforehand. I also explained the lack of communication from the previous visit, but it felt like that concern was ignored. I was not given any prior call or clear preparation instructions. Additionally, my medication was sent to a pharmacy I had already asked them not to use for the second time. The only positive part of my experience was the surgeon and surgical assistant, who were kind and professional during the procedure itself. Otherwise, the communication and organization leading up to it could definitely be improved.
