Highly recommend this office! The office staff and assistants are more than welcoming and kind. Dr. Wetzel did an amazing job. The post-op recovery instructions were very clear and the whole process was smooth!

The appointment was for my daughter. Everyone in the office are so pleasant. The staff are all very patient and sweet. Dr. Abass is great and makes you feel very comfortable and gives you all the needed information for your procedure. This was procedure 2 of 3 and she has no anxiety about her return for appointment 3.

I live in Vermont and flew into Monterey to have an appointment with Dr. Wetzel to have gum surgery. I had 3 shots in my mouth and the shots did not hurt at all. Surgery went well. So worth the time - a 6 hr. Flight to have my procedure performed at this office.

I was seen by Dr. Abbas for receding gums. He thoroughly explained the gum grafting and healing process. Office staff was very friendly. Good experience. On 4/16/26 I had gum grafting surgery for my lower front teeth. Dr. Abbas performed the surgery and he was assisted by Cheryl. Both of them made sure I was comfortable during the procedure. I was given written instructions and told verbally about my aftercare. I also want to mention that the front office staff was very friendly and helpful.
