Pacific Coast Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery - Arcadia

When you arrive at their location, be sure to go up to the second floor even though the directory lists it as first floor. I asked their front receptionist about this error and she didn't care to find out why it was wrong to avoid any unnecessary confusion for their patients. Hopefully, their office manager- Sahar, who’s working from home takes notice and gets it right. Dr. Lin was my Doctor and he was alright, I do appreciate his professionalism and his willingness to listen about my inquiry pertaining to TMJ diagnosis.

Dr. Cho and the team took great care of me. Their office was comfy for my mom to wait in according to her. The speedy consult and all 4 wisdom teeth extractions took place in under an hour, and the IV sedation worked great; no memories and no pain. Got to keep a trophy tooth souvenir too :) The only issue was with my Dental insurance, but that was not because of Pacific Coast OMS, just because Delta Dental only decided to cover up to a set limit. So I had to kick in a bit out of pocket. I wish I had known about that beforehand (was around half of the overall so no light copay), but it is what it is.

Regrettably I was referred to Dr. Nam Cho for my wisdom teeth extraction. I opted for the general anesthesia. I've never had any experience in wisdom teeth extraction before so I didn't know what to expect or prepare. The day of my appointment I arrived an hour early. I was hoping to get some information about what to expect from the procedure. Nope. He didn't explain anything about the process or the procedure. Instead Dr. Cho put a needle in my arm and put me to sleep. My husband later told me the whole process was ten minutes when the doctor came out to say I was done. I remember how the doctor rushed me in and out. There was no one in the waiting room. I felt like I was treated with such negligence and so coldly. He could have spent 5-10 minutes explaining what he was planning to do to

Absolute waste of time. Went for issues with my TMJ's from jaw clenching, the Dr told me to massage my jaw muscles, when I asked him what I needed to do about the jaw clenching, he told me he wasn't sure. They sent me a bill almost 4 months later for a 5 minute consult where I could have gotten more valuable information from a YouTube video. Don't waste your time, find somewhere else that can actually help you

Dr. Cho was extremely wonderful and professional. He was able to calm me during the entire procedure (I have a tendency to be nervous). The nurses were A+ also. Front desk people were all friendly and nice-looking :) After PPO insurance it was about $150 for two teeth. I had local anesthesia. I had a better recovery timeline than when I had my wisdom teeth (left side) removed in China. So USA 🇺🇸 No. 1 LOL 😂
