I had a great experience with Dr. Qaqish for my wisdom tooth extraction and bone grafting. It was a high-risk procedure due to the proximity of a nerve, but the doctor handled it perfectly. The entire staff was incredibly caring and attentive, making me feel at ease the whole time. I was also pleasantly surprised when the doctor called me personally that evening just to check on my recovery. Highly recommend for their skill and excellent service.

My dentist referred me here, and going to a new place especially for surgery was definitely intimidating. From the moment I arrived, Dr. Quaqish and his staff made me feel as comfortable as anyone could at an oral surgery office. Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive, they always followed up when they said they would. Dr. Q is a medical doctor, and it was reassuring to know that wisdom teeth removal is a routine procedure for someone with his level of expertise. I chose local anesthesia, and the surgical techs carefully walked me through each step, answering all of my questions and easing my nerves. I feel so grateful to have found a place that took such great care of me. They even had me come in a day early to check my healing progress, and Dr. Q personally called me the evening after the procedure to see how I was doing. I can’t recommend this office enough I’ll definitely be referring my friends and family.

Excellent, from beginning to end. From my first call to the office and all interactions with the front desk ladies, to the doctor's assistant on the first visit, the kind and thorough doctor and the friendly office manager, the level of care and concern was top notch. My 91 year old mom had zero pain, after having three teeth removed. The surgical staff and nurse that brought her to the car were amazing. I highly recommend this doctor and office. A follow up call that evening to check on my mom was the icing on the cake. An exceptional experience. Thank you.

Had a great experience with SDSA. My dentist referred me to them for a wisdom tooth extraction. I had one wisdom tooth in the upper right that grew out many years ago, and several dentists over the years told me it was advisable to remove. After putting it off for years, I finally took the plunge and set a consultation with Dr. Q. This initial process was easy and quick, and the staff was very helpful in answering questions and providing follow-up information, how to prepare, what to expect, etc. The Dr. seemed confident in his abilities and I got the vibe he felt this was a routine extraction that was going to be a breeze. I appreciated the staff's reminder call and check-in prior to. A few weeks later I was back for the operation, under which I opted for sedation because I am a wimp when it comes to dental procedures. I don't remember anything of the procedure itself, but during my initial consultation and the time before and after the operation, all of the staff at SDSA were extremely friendly, helpful in answering questions, and adept at walking me through exactly how the process would play out. I had no issues whatsoever with the sedation, and except for a little nausea and fatigue that afternoon, by the next day I felt relatively normal. As far as the outcome, I was amazed that I had very little pain or swelling, and I was able to recover at home without any pain meds whatsoever. They did give me a couple ice packs in a sock-like thing that I was able to use a couple times, but that was all that was needed. The Dr. also called me at about 4:15pm the same day to check in, which I thought was a nice touch. I was back to a relatively normal diet by about halfway through the day after the operation, which, despite my wife's protests, I felt comfortable doing given how good I was feeling by that point. I was expecting a much worse, slower recovery. Clearly, the Dr. knows his stuff, and I am impressed at how easy the recovery was. Definitely a testament to his skill. Recommended!

San Diego Surgical Arts is outstanding and a step above. I went in for a tooth with a poor prognosis last week and they helped me by arranging surgery for the next day and assisted in figuring out the financial aspect of it. Every employee at every step of the process was professional, kind, empathetic, and knowledgeable. As a healthcare worker, I was completely impressed by their care, cleanliness, and with their follow-up care. I received several calls, including one from the surgeon, to check on my recovery. Amazing experience! My mom traveled nine hours to have her care here last month.
