Pacific Coast Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Nam Cho, M.D., D.D.S. 550 West Duarte Road, Arcadia, CA 91007

"I was referred to this office for a wisdom tooth extraction and I must say that everyone there was so professional, friendly and very helpful. Dr. Allen Huang was AWESOME. All of the nurses were so very nice."

"Very professional and easy to talk to. I had a simple referral for a second opinion but I would be confident having Dr. Cho as my dentist."

"Dr Cho did a great job on pulling out one of my tooth. It was quick and painless. It was a great experience."

"I went to get two impacted wisdom teeth removed, and I was super nervous. I read a review on Yelp on how the consultation fee ($200) is waived if you get the teeth removed the same day, so that is what I did to save some money. Leading up to the day, I was scared and worried on how the surgery would be and the recovery process, but thankfully, it was not as terrible or traumatic as I imagined. The price was decent considering I have no dental insurance too. $425 per tooth and that's the highest price they charge! The day of the appointment, the lady at the desk (Debbie I believe) was super friendly. I was allowed to bring a panoramic x-ray from another dentist and emailed it to her, saving another fee for x-rays. Then, I went in for a consultation where I met Dr. Nam Cho. He was friendly as well, explaining what he would be doing to remove the teeth and asking if I had any questions. Then, I signed a consent form and paid the fees at the front before being brought in to the "surgery room." The nurses(?) were also super nice. She took my blood pressure and then Dr. Cho came in to numb the areas. It wasn't too painful, just a pinch here and there on both sides. I was left alone for like ten minutes before they came back to begin the procedure. I was allowed to bring in earphones so I had my music playing while they did the surgery. Happy to say that it was not as traumatic as you would think for a procedure done awake. I only felt pressure, heard some cracking and drilling sounds, and smelled the nasty scent of your teeth (like when you get a filling). Nothing out of the ordinary. Also, I have to say that Dr. Cho was super caring, periodically checking on me and making sure I wasn't in pain. When he was on my second tooth, I felt some nerve pain so I let him know and he immediately injected more local anesthesia. The entire thing took 30 minutes at most. I got dissolved stitches on both sides. I was asked if I regretted not going to sleep at the end, and I immediately shook my head. As a woman, this surgery was nothing. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at this clinic and am planning to come back again for another wisdom teeth. I got prescribed antibiotics and some painkillers. A week later, I am feeling almost back to normal and so glad to have these pesky teeth removed."
