Vaiana James DDS

"I was a little weary, I suffer from severe dental anxiety. No one was excited for my 7:45 appointment! But after getting checked in and getting into the back room the three ladies who were helping me where super nice and amazing and helped comfort me as I was already crying from my anxiety. They were so kind and put in the iv and we chatted untill doc came in the room patted me on the shoulder and told me he was gunna start the anesthetic. I said okay and boom next thing you know I’m awake, wisdom teeth gone! Good experience. My anxiety was the worst part of the experience! The staff was genuinely kind and helpful."

"Best painless dentist to date and I’m old! His Injections are absolutely painless. I detest injections So this is even a better recommendation. Dr. Vaiana is a master of his trade. Just finished my second dental implant. This Dr. is as close to painless As I could find. Painless is very important to me! A+ ."

"If I could give zero stars I would. Went in for a dental emergency. Had to have a consult which was set for november but they did it sooner because of the pain I was in with a broken tooth. Doctor did not seem to care about my anesthesia concerns. The staff was appallingly rude and condescending. They refused to move non emergent patients around for a dental emergency, meaning I would wait over a month for the extraction. I left sobbing in pain and upset, feeling like they didnt care whatsoever about my issue. I called someone in rockford. This was on a friday, the place in rockford got me in the following tuesday and extracted the tooth. I can taste my food now, im not in pain, with the exception of where the tooth was extracted. Rooney took my wisdom teeth out and one spot didnt even heal right, so I was already a bit cautious coming to Dr Vianna. I in good faith could not recommend this office to anyone."

"My mother was supposed to have 10 teeth pulled before surgery for oral cancer. He gave her no sedation and no nitrous, only novacaine. Her jaw had a very large tumor with a crack already in it. She was so traumatized after five teeth out that she had a panic attack and ended up in the ER. She almost backed out of her large surgery. She is 87. He could have given her something to take the edge off. Even nitrous would have helped or even having a more compassionate bedside manner. Would not recommend for the elderly or those with cancer. Go somewhere else if you need sedation. Look for an oral surgeon group with an anesthesiologist. This group does not have one."

"After days of extreme jaw pain on and off along with a string of medical appointments to address it, I was unfortunate enough to get referred to this office. None of the staff wore masks or PPE (other than the surgeon wearing gloves) despite the current pandemic. Diane the nurse was by far the rudest person I have ever met in any form of healthcare setting - she was openly irritated that I was there for treatment from the second I arrived and seemed to want to make me as uncomfortable as possible so I would leave quickly and ask no questions. To my surprise, Dr. Vaiana saw me for literally around a minute total and ended the appointment saying it would “eventually go away” and “good luck” with no actual diagnosis or discussion other than a “maybe” about a joint issue. If you have any serious oral health concern, go elsewhere, anywhere else at all."
