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.

Stay away!
My wife had to get two implants. Dr. Findlay messed them up so badly we had to get a second and third opinion, and both concurred that the implants were not done right and needed to be redone. They weren't even into bone or even straight and required their removal along with additional bone and gum grafting to redo them. We were left fighting with insurance since he used our benefit. My dentist, who knows Dr. Findlay, reviewed her images and called Dr. Findlay to try to rectify things. He called back and said my best options were to pursue appeals with the insurance company, so obviously, Dr. Findlay was not willing to take responsibility for his awful work. Also, his office staff is among the worst I've ever dealt with. They are rude and condescending. They treated us like idiots, even hanging up on us on multiple occasions. Do yourself a favor, find a reputable surgeon, and avoid Dr. Findlay.

Brilliant Surgeon
Dr. Damian Findlay reconstructed my face after my fall. He’s not only a brilliant surgeon he’s also the kindest man I’ve ever met. He has truly changed my life! I have had nightmare experiences with doctors and dentists throughout my life, Dr. Findlay has been a blessing from the day I met him. Things happen for a reason, I am sure now that my fall was God bringing Dr. Findlay into my life.

Thank you for sharing your experience!

I had a wisdom tooth removed. After the tooth was removed, I continued to have pain, and there was a hard bump on my gum. I called and made an appt. to go back. They said it was my jawbone sticking out. They said that happens sometimes. Dr. Findlay made an incision and filed down my jawbone. He had one of the assistants put in the stitch. She proceeded to poke my tongue and lip twice each, then put in a dissolvable stitch, which I am allergic to. When she told me that she had put in a dissolvable stitch and I told her I was allergic to them, she said, "I guess I should have looked at your chart". They gave me an appt. for 1 week, which they then called the following week to reschedule. When I called back to tell them I was in terrible pain, I was told to take OTC. Two days before I was to go back, the skin and stitch fell out. I thought, "Thank God, I don't have to go back there!" Guess what? I still have a pointed jawbone sticking out of my gum! Pain goes up to ear!

Dr. Findlay did my corrective jaw surgery. He does great work. My recovery time was 1/2 of what we expected and I give him full credit for that. He is great at what he does.

Dr. Findlay, I can't thank you enough for reconstructing the better half of my face, which I have been told was not an easy task. I recently fractured the bridge of my nose, right eye socket, right cheekbone, upper jaw, along with crushing my upper palate. With the help of Dr. Figueroa they did an outstanding job of concealing the incision and fixing the fractures. I now have the straightest nose ever, it used to have a natural hump in the middle. Wish I could speak with you about everything

Dr. Findlay did my wisdom tooth removal, and it was a great experience. He explained everything he was going to do before I was put under. His nurses were great as well. I would definitely recommend him.
