Northern California Facial & Oral Surgery

I was referred to this practice after my dentist at Nice Teeth noticed I needed to have one of my wisdom teeth extracted immediately. After an examination of my teeth, Dr. Takahashi explained to me that I was a high-​risk candidate for permanent loss of feeling on one side of my mouth as the tooth that needed to be removed was very close to one of my nerves. Additionally, he told me that my tooth was lodged in my jawbone and the necessary removal would weaken my jaw bone leaving me susceptible to a broken jaw in the near future. Needless to say I was freaked out, anxious and worried that my lifestyle would change all due to this extraction.
I went to get a second opinion from Dr. Tulstunov in San Fracisco, who offered another option after NCFOS told me there was nothing else they could do. Dr. Tulstunov did a partial removal leaving the part of my tooth that was supporting my jaw and near my nerve in place.
NCFOS should consider learning the method Van Ness Oral Surgery & Implantology Center used as I’m sure there are plenty of folks in the bay area who are suffering because they weren’t given all possible options.

I was referred here by my dentist office for all of my wisdom teeth removed
First off The staff is sooooooo polite and friendly I’m the type of person who always pay attention to customer service. I made an appointment to come in for a consultation but was worried I wouldn’t make it to my Doctors appointment across town in time so the receptionist Sylvia offered me to come in a few mins early from her lunch so I can do paper work and be seen on time. I totally accepted her offer.
During the Consultation, I met with Dr. Cooper and he was so nice and friendly he explained to me the procedure and post care. l met with Sylvia to go over cost and billing and thank God I have good insurance :)
I had my surgery maybe 2÷4÷2014. I was the first and only patient at that time so all attention was on me. I walked in scared and nervous I even dropped a few tears when no one was looking lol. Hey what can I say? I’m a sucker to pain. The dental assistants Michelle and Maria had encouraging words and great conversation. Dr. Cooper had a few jokes up his sleeve to ease my comfort and I’m always looking for a good laugh he’s hilarious. We joked about the boring Super Bowl Ads before he started.
They numb me up really well. I swear I felt no pain I didn’t even know he was finished. Dr. Cooper even called me later in the evening to see how I was doing.
I also would like to mention how the staff Sylvia, Michelle, Sonia, and Maria really love their jobs they all get along so well and it’s like they really enjoy what they do. I would highly recommend this place to anyone

Went in today to get a tooth extracted, and was highly impressed with Dr. Cooper as he is a fantastic oral surgeon. He’s HIGHLY competent and experienced, as well as being funny and personable, I’ve had some rough extractions, and I’m a bit hard to «numb up» — He made sure I was completely numbed up, and magically wiggled my tooth out and I didn’t feel a thing! Because my extraction was so easy, they charged me less than they quoted me (a first for me when dealing with the medical profession!). AND… he even called and left a voice mail to check up on me in the afternoon! I was totally dreading my extraction, but had such a positive experience that I felt compelled to Unilocal about it! 5 stars, easy.

Our office refers our patients to Northern California facial surgery for some time now … special THANK YOU to Syliva for ALWAYS accommodating our patients… Ty

I had 3 teeth extracted from Dr. Cooper. He’s really professional and comforting. I was freaked about getting knocked out and having my teeth extracted, but he made sure I was calm and comfortable with the process.

Dr. Cooper is funny, professional and really cares about his patients. The evening after my surgery he left me a voicemail checking if I was recovering and to let him know if I needed anything.
His assistant and receptionist were really nice and helpful and even remembered my name which surprised me.
Great people.

My daughter was referred to this center for extracting her wisdom tooth. The service at the day of appointment was good, no issue, the receptionist had called our insurance in advance and told us the balance we need to pay $ 231 and we paid.
However the quality of work earns no stars. My daughter had pain for about two weeks before visiting her regular dentist when he found a piece from the extraction that was not removed properly, we had to go back to the surgery center again to remove it. Later we also were charged more than $ 60 additional fee for x-​ray although the receptionist had told us if we have the x-​ray sent in from our regular dentist there would be no charges for any additional x-​ray they may need to take. Do not recommend this place.

I’m on medical, and a medical oral surgeon couldn’t see me to have a tooth removed for two weeks. I’ve been in a tremendous amount of pain for the past couple days so I finally just coughed up the cash to get this molar extracted.
I came into the office in a lot of pain, expecting to be overcharged and under-​cared for, that IS NOT what I received at all.
First off, the got me in the office in less then 2 hours. From the moment I got there, Sylvia was so sweet and so kind and really put me at ease.
Dr. Cooper did the surgery with the help of his assistant Sonia. Sonia was so sweet! She explained everything to me very throughly. Both her and the Dr were super friendly, and funny. They went WAY above and beyond! This is a practice where they will tell you what you truly need and don’t need. They aren’t going to tell you that you need a much of procedures just to fill their pockets.
I would return to them for any procedure and I would completely recommend them to friends and family!

I visited here last week to extract my wisdom tooth. The service was good, they explained me about the surgery, post-​surgery care and also gave me options to undergo the surgery. I decided to go with local anesthesia, which went well. Dr. Clayton was very professional and did a wonderful job. He did make a follow up call and left a voice message. So kind of him. 1 star less for the old chair :)
