Salomone Marc P, DDS

The worst, did major damage never said sorry or that he cut the nerve.

Had all four of my wisdom teeth extracted yesterday. Was terrified of the after math, not so much the procedure itself. Procedure started within 5 min of my appointment time. A little over an hr later I woke up w ice packs and nearly no pain. Went home and slept. When I woke up today my mouth a slightly swollen, definitely not a chipmunk mouth. Staff called today to check how I was doing and If I needed anything and to remind me of the after care. This Dr comes HIGHLY recommended.
I did get a consultation bill in the mail for like $ 220 I think but yesterday when I payed for my wisdom teeth removal they waived the consultation fee no questions asked.

Similar case as Ben’s: My 16 year old daughter also needed oral surgery and this doctor was recommended by her Dentist Lauren. We too were unaware of the consultation fee. My daughter also spent about 4 – 6 minutes on the chair and we even brought our x-​rays that her Dr. Lauren had provided. However after they summarized the HIGH estimate on the services that she needed, we decided not to have her wisdom teeth removed by this DR. 3 weeks later, I received a bill in the mail, not for $ 90.00, but $ 92.00 for the «consultation» fee which was NEVER mentioned before and exactly as the previous reviewer mentioned???
I did call Dr Salomone’s office to ask if this was a mistake or if it would be covered by our insurance and or it could be waived … when the billing lady, I believe named Sherry, simply told us we had to pay…
I agree with Ben that if you like being gouged by high prices and then STUCK with undisclosed fees … well then this is the place for you. I opted to find an oral surgeon elsewhere and made sure to call ahead to reassure that they did not have any hidden fees just for showing up… and they don’t.
Let this be your notice that you will be charged just for sitting on their patient chair!

I went yesterday to have a tooth extracted. Went sooooo smooth. Very little pain when I woke up, no pain during was asleep. Staff was awesome. On the next day the pain meds they gave me and I have very minimal discomfort. Great office would highly recommend. A surprisingly easy experience. I have Delta Dental insurance and they covered all but 15% which came to $ 150 out of about $ 1,000. I cannot say enough good about this office. Stellar! Thanks Greg R.

Had 4 extractions and going out this evening pain free with my beautiful new teeth. Dr. Marc and the girls are the best! Thanks!

I was recently sent to Drs. Salamone & Bass by my dentist Dr. Steven Lake of the prestigious Lake Dental. I had a total of 4 extractions by Dr. Bass and Dr. Salamone. I have a dental coverage policy and all issues were discussed with both Sherry and other staff as well as the doctors. They were up front about everything regarding procedures, choices, and costs– before anything was done. Dr. Bass did the most recent extraction, a double, with a local anesthetic (my choice) for half the cost of being anesthetized, which required someone to accompany me to & from the procedure. Dr. Bass called me later that day to find out how I was doing. I developed heavy external bruising which I returned to the office the following Monday to have addressed. Dr. Salamone consulted with me and gave me a numbing ointment for the pain I was having from a splinterizing bone from a previous extraction he had recently done. We also discussed implants and price is negotiable if more than one is wanted. I feel their practice is good and cost is reasonable. I intend to continue to use their services for any issue required for which they provide service.

I had a perfect experience here. I read another review where the lady seemed upset that there was a consultation fee when her dentist said there wouldn’t be. Clearly, HER dentist is to blame for giving out wrong information, not the Oral Surgeon. I think it’s terrible to give only one start because someone else gave you bad info.
This place treats me wonderfully. I’m going for my final wisdom tooth extraction day after tomorrow and after two prior visits to this office, I cannot say enough good about them. Last time, I was asking the doctor a question while he was administering the drugs, and I asked, «When are we starting?» And he said, «We’re done!»
I couldn’t believe it! I don’t even recall closing my eyes and I felt zero pain or discomfort. They wheeled me out the back in a wheelchair because they said I might be wobbly, so I appreciated the discretion of not being carted through the lobby. If you have any reservations about seeing this doctor, message me here and I’ll answer any of your questions. Sedation for this sort of denistry is a must have for a chicken like me!

Dr. Salomone & his staff couldn’t have been nicer or more caring. I had to have many teeth extracted. They calmed my fears, provided complete instructions for per-​operative and post-​operative care. They even called after the extractions to make sure I was doing well. Expensive but not as expensive as several others. I got a few quotes on the major work to be done. Dr. Salomone was not the most expensive nor the least expensive but he was the most caring and the most helpful.

My 15 year old daughter needed oral surgery and this doctor was recommended by our orthodontist Dr Narula … Dr Narulas staff had told us there was no consultation fee. However after my daughter spent about 4 mins in Dr Salomones chair and him sending us on our way to his billing dept… not until then did they lay the HEAVY fee for the surgery … but also a $ 90.00 «consultation» fee which was NEVER mentioned before, during not until AFTER we were done and filling out the paperwork to have the surgery done !!!
I did call Dr Salomone’s office after regarding getting the consultation fee waived … when the billing lady simply told me «too bad» …
Well anyway if you like being gouged by high prices and then STUCK with undisclosed fees … well then this is the place for you.
Good Luck

Stay away. We had a critical medical issue. He has an uncaring, insensitive staff, especially Sherry (Palm Springs office). The doctor himself has no follow up, even when paged on his emergency service (via the Palm Desert office), we rec’d no call back. I would never go there again.
