Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great oral surgeon

Great service and quick results, went in with pain as a first time patient, and quickly walked out with it taken care of, couldn’t ask for more.

AVOID THIS DOCTOR AT ALL COSTS. This doctor removed my wisdom tooth. I followed the rinsing instructions he gave me and got a dry socket. When I came back, the dentist asked how I had been rinsing and I told her and she said "no wonder you have a dry socket." I then showed her the written instructions I received from their office and she just said "huh." I can't take NSAIDs so the dentist said they would send a script for pain meds. Hours later and the pharmacy still doesn't have it, I call and apparently this doctor refused to give me pain medications. He did not reach out to tell me this and he refused to talk to me, so I was completely without medical care. Over days I tried over and over but never got a number and he never called me when I asked. If I had known I would not have meds coming I would've asked more questions while I was there about how to treat this. This was the worst week of my life. This doctor makes an absolutely joke of the Hippocratic oath.

I have had work done on my teeth recently that left me slightly traumatized as to this visit. I put on my best face but Dr. Gefon could tell by my state that warm concern would not be wasted on me. He confirmed my care and after preparing me left me to rest in the awareness that I was in good hands. The treatment was surprisingly quick and as I relied on what I had to do mentally Dr. Gefon pleasantly let me know the job was done. Imagine my relief. But even more, imagine my gratitude. A+

I just went to doctor Boris Gefon practice yesterday to remove for teeth. Everyone in this practice is very professional. in addition I am a very big scaredy-cat when it comes to Dentistry. That's why my teeth are in this condition. I asked to be put under sedation because otherwise I couldn't handle it mentally. The sedation that they use is injected not a gas. When I woke up I was paying free and all my teeth were extracted. Today I do not feel any pain and I am not taking any pain killers. I

This doctor is so nice and friendly . I was nervous when I came in and he was calm and patient. He was very patient , described each step that he takes and keeps asking if you are okay . The wait wasn’t long either and I was in and out within an hour .
