Donald J Gass Jr, DDS

What a great experience. I was referred to Dr Gass by my dentist to have a molar removed. When i came in for my consultation, he asked «well why dont we just pull it out right now?» Totally thrown as i typically need 1 – 2 weeks of freak out I went for it & it was so simple, quick and painless. Dr Gass even called the next day to check in on me. 5 star location, staff and experience!

As a parent, I was so worried about my son getting his wisdom teeth out. After meeting with Dr. Gass, he assured me that my son would be fine, would not have any nausea, and that the procedure would go quickly.
Today was the day. They called him in at 8:35, and we were on our way home by 9:05. My son was just a bit woozy and understood everything I said. There were no funny outburst. He just felt mildly dizzy. He had no need for pain pills and only took Ibuprofen.
This was a dreaded but great experience. He treated my son and me like family. His wife also took 30 min of her time to talk and answer all of my questions. She was very kind to say the least.
Thank you Dr. Gass and staff!

WOW, thanks to you I love to smile :) I have to say I was completely shocked and kind of upset when reading some of the other reviews; however, when I clicked on those users previous reviews, it made sense because they only write bad/​one star reviews.
Dr. Gass has been our family oral surgeon for 15 years. My brother, sister and I have all had our wisdom teeth removed by him as well as multiple other procedures. He did a fantastic job on all three of us! I have sent him numerous referrals over the years and every single person has had nothing but wonderful things to say about him. I absolutely encourage you to visit his office, that is, if you have to ;) Thank you Dr. Gass and your staff for your continued years of sheer professionalism and dedication to your field!

I’m a 30 year old with a irrational fear of the dentist/​oral surgeon.
On that note Dr. Gass was great! (And believe me that means A LOT coming from me.)
1. They were able to get me in on short notice meaning the same day.
2. I was able to fill out the paperwork ahead of time online. NO pesky paperwork! A+
3. The staff (Taylor) was very kind and accommodating of my fears. ugh
4. Dr. Gass himself was friendly and understanding.
5. Dr. Gass even called this evening to make sure i was okay and gave me his personal info just in case. A++

Would go back! but hopefully i don’t have to. lol

Yesterday, I had oral surgery (the removal of two upper molars) removed by Dr. Gass. Before the procedure, he explained everything to me that would be done and I signed two forms, one talking about the procedure and side effects and the other of a similar nature.
Once in the operating room, I was set back in a chair, administered with nitrous oxide, commonly known as «laughing gas», and Dr. Gass placed EKG monitors on me to keep an eye on my heartbeat throughout the procedure. He then, with the aid of his assistant, got my IV in my arm and going. Next thing I knew I was out cold and could only hear bits and pieces of what Dr. Gass and the assistant were saying.
20 minutes later, the surgery was done and I woke up a bit groggy and woozy. He said the procedure was over and that the teeth came out easier than he anticipated, especially the severely impacted one on the left side of my mouth, as it was in deeper and never grew in like the one on my right side did, although the right one only came in about ¼ of the way.
Dr. Gass has a wonderful chairside demeanor and is very friendly. He has a great sense of humor too and had me laughing a bit before the surgery, so i felt at ease in his care.
Afterwards, I felt nauseous and got sick, which is not a surprise, as it tends to be a side effect from any type of oral surgery. Dr. Gass and his assistant made sure I was okay and coherent enough before they released me to go home and wrote me a prescription for Norco (the generic version of Vicodin).
I recommend Dr. Gass to anyone in need of tooth extraction or other oral procedures. He is very professional, approachable, and thorough and does the job right. His staff is very friendly and they make sure you are well taken care of.

My family member was scheduled recently for a teeth extraction appointment. We arrived on time, the front desk attendant did not know how to use the Dental Care card, for dentist services, even though the lobby was full of brochures and signage that they take that type of payment. It took 50 minutes for her to figure out how to run the transaction, no one helped her and the procedure did not start until she completed it. It gave us the feeling that they did not trust their patients to pay them, which was not the case, we were at their mercy to proceed. It is our understanding the office manager (spouse) allows the staff to do only certain tasks… all the while we wait nearly an hour for them to check us in? Totally unprofessional and lacks ability and efficeincy for their patrons. There were no other patients there, we were the only ones. The other review I have is of the recovery room, the appearance was that of a storage room with misc. items sitting allover. This is an uncomfortable setting to try to use as a recovery space. We were not given the necessary quantity of supplies for her to use for her recovery and were left to find more for ourselves.
*** For the overall experience, I would NOT recommend this unprofessional office.

I just flew in from LA to have Dr. G place some implants for me. My dentist told me that Dr. Gass treats a lot of the Cardinals football players too. At the initial consult, he spent plenty of time discussing different treatment options and answered all of my questions. What I appreciated was the fact that he found ways to decrease the cost. He used a local anesthetic instead of going to sleep and saved me a considerable amount of money. It was painless and really easy with no swelling. I had to laugh on the way out because I had been so so nervous and anxious. He seemed to be really humble and down to earth despite his excellent reputation and an honest guy. You can tell he has been around the block and seen it all. I had several consults before choosing Dr. Gass. Be careful because some of these alleged doctors will fleece you by telling you that need a bone graft or a membrane etc. You’d think they were doing brain surgery, the way they acted. Dr. Gass said it was a routine procedure and made me feel more at ease. The front office, Amanda, was extremely upbeat and helpful. She answered all of my questions concerning the costs and verified my insurance benefits. Fortunately, my insurance company picked up some of the costs. I appreciated the fact that Amanda had completed all of the paperwork for my preauthorization. The office itself has a nice ambiance but not overdone so you don’t feel like you’re paying for their rent. I can remember hearing Enya music (I think). I don’t normally write reviews but it is hard to know these days who a good doctor is or isn’t. The bottom line is: If you want a competent surgeon who is more concerned about your pocket book instead of his own, go see Dr. Gass.

Terrible office, don’t go there! I went to him for an implant which «failed» after paying him cash, he would not honor his word and replace it at no charge. His office mgr (wife) is very rude, they did not file with my insurance o, then tried to say iI owed them $$ when they actually overcharged me!
Truly one of the worst experiences of my life, not only because of the” failed” implant, but dealing with his wife was a total nightmare!
Pass the word, DO NOT use this office, there are many other good, honest doctors.

I am so lucky too have found Dr. Gass. Being a snowbird in Arizonia is not easy too establish care. From the office staff too the care I knew what too expect and follow up etc. I have had a fear of dentists since childhood and dreaded too meet someone new. He made me at ease and so personable and since my first visit I have had too return and same experience twice Wahoo! I will continue too recommend Dr. Gass too friends and family and if I decide on implants Dr. Gass will do my work

Awesome place and Dr. I went there terrified of dentist in the first place and they put me at ease and were very nice. Dr Gass actually called me the day after my surgery to make sure I was doing OK. (Was on a Saturday) I would highly recommend them and I would use them in the future if I ever needed too. (Hopefully I never do. Lol)
