Ocean Oral’s staff are so kind and it’s clear they truly care about their patients. I was really scared to get my wisdom teeth out because I had never been put under anesthesia before, but Angela and Cande were so kind and gentle with me and made sure I was comfortable. Dr. McAninch was great and I was grateful to have him as my surgeon. Donna was also very friendly! (: great experience overall.

Arrogant group. Came highly recommended. Do not yet know the results of the surgery, but I am upset because they ask for payment in full before the surgery.
Very arrogant and unprofessional way of doing business. Their staff says this protects the doctors from people who make appointments but do not show up.
BooHoo.BooHoo.. That is the cost of doing business. There is a risk inherent in being in business. You want a deposit, fine. But full payment?? What happens if something goes wrong? The customer has no recourse to get the doctor to fix it. I am a self employed consultant in agriculture. I bill per acre per month. But I bill at the end of the month after the service is provided. This way, if a customer is not happy with the services it results in a conversation. If the problem cannot be resolved, I lose the fee. That is my way of backing up my word that I will always provide the top of the line service and if my customers disagree, they do not pay me. Creates a tight bond with my customers and high degree of trust. The trust is extremely important because the total value of the crops I consult on is over $100,000,000. These doctors have just created an environment of mistrust and i guarantee this, not only will i never become a repeat customer, I will never recommend them to another person.
You want a deposit, fine.
Payment in full before service is a red flag and perfectly demonstrates the arrogance inherent our medical industry in this day and age. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS!!!

Very good experience! Staff is friendly, competent, and efficient. Dr Lanzon does a great job explaining the procedure during and after. He is very conscientious of pain management making a not so comfortable procedure easier.
