Wen S Fan, DMD MD

I am a fan of Dr. Fan! Between his surgical and communications skills, he inspired confidence, which was very important because I was facing a delicate, invasive, and potentially painful surgery. (It turned out, there was no pain at all.) I’m impressed by the high-​resolution imagery he was able to show me. I could see for myself that the procedures he recommended were required. Everyone in the office is extremely professional and organized. Communication is comprehensive and timely. Even though I live out of state, I felt it was well worth it to fly to San Jose to see Dr. Fan and his team. I’d call him «a geek’s oral surgeon;» you get all the information you want, and then he executes with perfection for you.

All I remember was Dr. Fan saying «I’ll switch from the arm to your hand…» for administering general anesthesia, then poof! I was out. Next thing I remember was being wheeled out to my friends car, the extraction was complete (both lower wisdom). Wow, I couldn’t believe how easy that was. It’s now Day 6 post-​surgery and pretty much all the pains gone, actually not really pain as much as just soreness. Overall I felt no major pain at all, just some aching. I felt good enough to actually go back to work the next day. I would highly recommend Dr. Fan. He really made it look easy. Kudos to him and his excellent staff.

To be honest, I’m the type of people that dread going to the dentist or any type of doctor office.
My general dentist asked me to extract my wisdom tooth for 2 years and I finally decided to get it over with, so I came here on his referral.
I had three visits, one for consultation, one for extraction and one for follow up. All three experiences are wonderful.
The consultation visit, just like other reviewers said, requires lots of paperwork. I’m not a fan of it, but as he explained it before, it is legal requirement. Not a big deal. Just show up 10 mins early. Although they did mention they you can fill them out online, but I forgot to do it.
The nurse took my xray and explained everything to me including cost. Both the nurses and the doc were very friendly and professional, they made the visit very comforting
I scheduled the surgery 3 days later and both the nurse assisting the doc were very friendly and even though I was extremely nervous, their presence and tone definitely comfort me. The surgery was done in matter of mins. Very smooth.
There are two things that really set the office apart
1) When I arrived for consultation, I didn’t know who my insurance carriers is (I had two and forgot who is who), they took the time to call both and figured out that it was part of the third insurance company. Even though this is my issue and it is their job, but I really appreciate the effort and professionalism they provided.
2) About 4 hours after the surgery, their office called me to ask me if I’m doing ok. I don’t know if all doctor office does that, but I really appreciate the call.
Overall, great experience, I couldn’t ask for a better dental office visit.
I usually end my 5 stars reviews with «I will be back for sure», don’t take this the wrong way, but I don’t wish to come back here ever, I’m flossing my teeth everyday. =)

What a waste of tme and money. These people only care about money and they could care less if your in pain. I would highly recommend going somewhere else if you are considering implants. F–
I has paid out of pocket $ 288 or so to see this doctor and get a full X-​ray panel done. He looked at it and said everything looked fine. I was in horrible pain so I got a second opinion and the second doctor looked at the X-​ray and said its obvious a root canal is infected. Long story short, I had the tooth replaced with an implant and all is now well.
The paperwork is also absolutely ridiculous which needs to be filled out before the doctor sees you… Thanks for nothing!

Horrible experience.
These words describe well my first visit to the office of Dr Wen S Fan. When you come to the office, be prepared to sign a ton of paper work to the point that I questioned myself if I was in a clinic or in a lawyer office.
I came to the office to get a quick treatment for which I was refereed by my dentist. Before coming, my wife checked with the office about the cost. All looks good. The service I was supposed to get was entirely covered by the insurance. My wife spent multiple calls to make sure of this and got an insurance code from the office of Dr Wen. Life is beautiful. I pay nothing!
AHAAAA that was speaking too fast. The treatment I came for was NOT performed. I was surrounded with 3 personnel showing me different fuzzy information and I end up signing an estimate for a job of several thousand dollars. My feeling was like they didn’t care about the referral, they just saw the opportunity to make money.
One of the employee explained to me a strange procedure with the insurance. She told me: «I have a lot of experience, I know how this works. We submit the claim with 2 different codes. One code is medical and the other is dental. We know that if we don’t do that it is going to be rejected. We know how deal with the insurance.» AH if the insurance don’t cover don’t worry. YOU PAY ALL! My opinion is that process is fishy. I left the office with the sentiment that I wasted my time and my referral. I was unhappy unsatisfied and I still need to see another doctor. This was horrible, I don’t recommend this place to anyone. But if you want to go there you have been warned. Go at your own risk…
Horrible LOL

My wife Mausumi had her wisdom teeth extracted from Dr Fan and here is what she says :
This time I was fortunate enough to meet my oral surgeon Dr. Fan and his staff. Not only he is caring, understanding and his excellent practices but also his pleasant appearance made me more relaxed and comfortable when I went through the extraction procedure. I never thought my past traumatized experience will erase from my mind in this life like blink of eyes. It was made possible only because of each and every staff, who are kind, understanding, knowledgeable and of course charismatic Dr. Fan himself. Before I met Dr. Fan, I couldn’t even think wisdom teeth extraction procedure can be so simple.
I don’t have enough words to thank him and his staff. My hope you keep continuing your excellent practice in our community and beyond so that others can have dental surgery with such ease and fearless way. I am truly blessed that I have known Dr Fan and his entire team.
Your services are truly unforgettable!!!

I had a root canal that went bad prior to seeing Dr. Fan.
He thoroughly explained the steps and procedures he needed to complete in order to replace the problem with a full implant. He was very nice gently and patient with me as I have a big fear of all dental procedures.
I highl recommend Dr. Fan and his helpful friendly staff!
Two thumbs and a big smile: D

Both the doctors were wonderful! They really took the time to make sure my recovery after my wisdom tooth extraction was painless. I had a bad reaction to the codiene so they put medicated gauze strips to help with the pain and didn’t charge extra for the after care service!
They really took their time and explained what was going on and what to expect. I’d definitely go back.
The entire staff is very courteous and helpful as well.

Before meeting up with Dr Wen Fan about getting my oral surgery done to extract my wisdom teeth, I was absolutely terrified about what I was to expect from the aftermath of the surgery. Because of the many possibilities that could go wrong, I wanted to make sure I got the best doctor possible. Even though I live in San Jose, if that meant the best was in San Francisco, I would drive there. So, I googled «best oral surgeon in San Jose» and Dr. Wen Fan came up. I decided to schedule an appointment with Dr. Fan shortly after. Upon my first consultation visit, Dr Wen Fan and his staff were thorough and highly knowledgeable about everything I was to expect and need to do to prepare myself. Still being a bit scared on my surgery date, I was warmly greeted and made to feel right at home sort of speak. Once the surgery was completed, I went home to rest up and I felt absolutely no pain! None! Not even an ache, nausea, headache, I felt nothing! I didn’t even have swelling or bruising. Even though I’m sensitive to pain, I never took the Vicodin that was prescribed either. All I needed was the Ibuprofen, if at all. I was able to talk and properly function with my routine schedule without any issues. The second day went by with more rest if anything. Though I maintained a diet on soft foods for a while, I was able to eat whatever I did before no more than 3 – 4 days after. One week from my oral surgery date, I went to Dr. Fan for a follow-​up to check on my healing progress and everything went very well. And rightfully so! He knows what he’s doing! He clearly takes pride in treating his patients with the best of care. He is a professional and genuinely nice doctor and highly recommend him to anyone who may be in a need of his services.

I was referred to Dr. Wen Fan by my general dentist, Dr. Joyce Lam (Campbell, CA — highly recommended) when I needed an urgent extraction done due to infection and pain. Martha (who seemed to be an office manager and handle front desk) gave me a call, answered some questions for me, and scheduled enough time for a consultation, and if I wanted to move forward, surgery. She was REALLY polite and professional. As the first point of contact with this office, she left a great impression!
Let me start off by saying. I was horrified at the thought of anesthesia. Dr. Fan and his staff answered ALL of my questions in depth, and did so happily. I didn’t feel like they were annoyed by me what so ever. I am one of those annoying patients that does immense amounts of research before a procedure or appointment. (I am just too curious. Yes, I am looking forward to medical school!) We went into my medical history in detail, which was so assuring to me that they take everything into account. I decided to proceed.
We looked over my x-​ray together, and discussed the risks associated with my low, impacted wisdom teeth. The risks of nerve damage would be significant, so he told me I should first have a cone beam x-​ray done to see how the nerve runs along the teeth. He was confident that removing the infected tooth and wisdom tooth next to it would be okay, so that’s what we decided to do.
They gave me a blanket and got me comfortable. The ladies who were in the room with me were SO fun to have around. No one seemed to be nervous, rushed, or stressed. I got an IV inserted and some fluids. None of that hurt. Those are the things you notice when you’re scared, and there was none of that around me. Nothing but jokes, and calm, friendly voices.
They told me I would start being relaxed… and just like that, I was out. Anesthesia is AMAZING. It’s unreal. I woke up, and it was over! Seriously, going under was so interesting, I may in fact get my wisdom teeth out one by one for the hell of it: P
I was taken home and relaxed the rest of the afternoon. The next 2 days did NOT require pain killers. Wow right? After a few days, soreness kicked in, but wasn’t intolerable. I was told by so many people that the worst procedure EVER is having wisdom teeth removed, so I was bracing for the worst.
They called me to see how I was doing, and scheduled a follow-​up visit for 1 week later. I was nervous because the stitches started coming out about 5 days in. I was worried what Dr. Fan would say during the follow-​up. He said it’s healing great and looks nice and clean :)
If you want to have the best possible experience doing something everyone dreads, GO TO THIS OFFICE. I know I have to go back and get the other teeth removed, and I’m not afraid at all.

This morning I saw Dr. Fan, and he removed a cracked tooth that was beyond saving. My appointment began on time, his assistants was very friendly and considerate. During the consultation I was explained in detail the entire procedure and we discussed future options — Dr. Fan was comprehensive and very fun to talk to. I was operated on very carefully, and Dr. Fan explained what he was doing at all times. The procedure was fast, not at all painful, and everything was very correct and nice.
This contrasts sharply with my terrible experience with Dr. Joseph Kim’s office (in Mountain View — see my other reviews), who came across as — I’ll put it bluntly — very greedy.
I recommend Dr. Fan to everyone who wants to get things done in a competent and pleasant manner.

Dr Fan is someone has no doctor ethics and the most unprofessional doctor I had. anyone should be warned about his behavior before you go see him. After extracting my tooth, he asked that I go back to see him in months as the follow up for next step. Then 2 days before the appointment, his office called and asked me if i would go back to see my general dentist who referred me to him, as somehow he heard that I may be switching my general dentist. He insists that I need to go back to my old dentist. When I said I haven’t decided, he cancelled my appointment and refuse to see me.
If you don’t want your major dental work half treated, think twice going to him. On his oral surgery skills, it’s really very average. I had extraction before at another dentist, it was a much smoother operation than this. And also, whatever advises he gives, you should take with a grain of salt. He would give you suggestions mostly with hidden motive rather than for the best interest of the patient.

I’m writing this review as a general dentist who needed to refer an emergency patient. I spoke with Dr. Fan and within minutes, his front office was able to pencil in my patient on short notice. My patient ended up seeing Dr. Cheng. From that experience, I can vouch that both Dr. Cheng and Dr. Fan are unsurpassed in their professionalism and they are both incredibly warm, gentle, and sincere.
When I have a patient, friend or family member who is in need of an oral surgeon, I will, without hesitation, send them to Dr. Cheng and Dr. Fan. I know my patients will be very well taken care of and I can rest easier knowing they will be in good hands.

I had an implant done here and received excellent service from Dr. Fan and his staff. Dr. Fan was very professional, never made me feel rushed, answered all my questions and even answered questions that I didn’t even know I had. The thoroughness of my treatment was so much more than I expected. If you want the best quality care with great service come here. I know that if I ever need another implant, I’m definitely going back.

Just got my wisdom teeth removed here the other day and so far the recovery process is going well. I was very impressed by the professionalism of all the staff and Dr Fan. I was even more impressed that Dr Fan inserted an IV into me himself! Kudos to everyone at the office! I highly recommend them!
