Like most good oral surgery offices, they take money up front and then bill your insurance. The only thing I wish were different is the process of getting your money back if the insurance paid the doctor instead of the patient. This process was too long and required too many reminders.

Starting with my phone call to schedule a consultation, I was truly impressed by the professionalism and friendliness of the front office staff. (Susan and Kathy) My first appointment was very reassuring. Dr. Seul is kind, gentle, and fully explained the procedures I'd undergo. When I returned for this surgery a few weeks later, it just couldn't have been any easier. Dr. Seul and Anthony (Surgical Assistant) took wonderful care of me. Everything went exactly as planned-perfect. I'm healing nicely and am grateful for the expert care. My experience with this practice has been absolutely stellar, and I wholeheartedly recommend them!

This office keeps both doctors and staff trained on the most advanced thinking and technology, and it pays off in terms of patient care and outcome.

However, all the girls in the back are super nice, professional and great. I absolutely do not recommend Dr. Traxler. He was quite dismissive with me many times. He recommended I have a bone graft and osseous surgery for an ongoing issue I was having with gum along back molar. He knew that I had been on oral and IV bisphosphonate drugs but didn't advise me of some of the issues these could cause with surgery. I had major problems after surgery including two areas of bone exposure along the gum line and delayed healing. He was very dismissive during each after visit and said, I just need to have that tooth pulled. I had always told him that I wanted to keep the tooth as I knew pulling a tooth could lead to many other issues. But he did not want to work with me in preserving the tooth and/or helping me to get this area healed. He said there was nothing more he could do, just go to a surgeon. I immediately changed periodontists. The current doctor was kind, caring, professional and worked with me to save my tooth. And all areas of bone exposure have now healed. Please be careful with this office.

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.

I was also hired by the Dental Board of California, but resigned from the board for health reasons. When you're in the field for 15 years, you get to know the best of the best. From my recent visit with Dr. Gold, I must say that he's what I consider the 'gold standard' for oral surgeons, no pun intended. From the initial outreach to Lauren, the patient coordinator, through to our departure, the entire process was characterized by remarkable efficiency and genuine warmth. Lauren transcends the typical role of an administrator; she is a true asset whose radiant personality and profound expertise immediately put us at ease. Her ability to navigate complex insurance queries, meticulously explain treatment plans, and clarify billing details with such clarity and compassion was truly exceptional. She didn't merely perform her duties; she elevated the experience, turning what can often be a source of stress into a seamless and supportive journey. During our visit, we also had the distinct pleasure of interacting with Danae, the Registered Dental Assistant. Her clinical acumen was immediately apparent, complemented by an impressive depth of knowledge and a gentle, reassuring demeanor. Danae's empathy was evident in the meticulous and tender care she provided my mother, ensuring her comfort and understanding at every step. Finally, Dr. Gold himself exemplifies the pinnacle of oral surgical practice. His intellectual rigor, advanced skill, and unwavering ethical compass are truly commendable. Faced with my mother's perplexing condition, I arrived feeling overwhelmed and anxious. Dr. Gold not only patiently addressed every one of my concerns but also distilled intricate medical information into comprehensible terms, fostering clarity and confidence. His profound compassion, combined with an unyielding commitment to ethical practice, resonated deeply. What stood out most about Dr. Gold and his team was their compassion and Dr. Gold's strong ethical principles. I'm grateful to the entire team for taking care of my mom. If anyone is looking for an oral surgeon in San Diego County, I can unequivocally say Dr. Gold is the best!
