Riverside Oral And Maxillofacial Surgery

Was referred here to have wisdom teeth pulled for my daughter. Staff & Dr.‘s has been Excellent!

This guy is THE WORST. He is horribly rude! Twice in front of me he yelled at his employees and treated them like dirt. Not to mention gave me nerve damage in my face that permanently ruined my smile. AVOID AT ALL COST! Terrible surgeon!

I came here frightened for my life because I had to remove all four of my wisdom teeth. I had a really nice oral surgeon and, because of him, felt little to no pain during and after my wisdom teeth removal. Thank you for making this a great and painless experience for me.

I highly recommend them. I came to have my wisdom teeth removed, and I was very apprehensive about it. I have not had the best experience with dentists in the past, and my anxiety disorder doesn’t help. The staff could not have been more amazing. They were kind, polite and very in tune to my apprehension. They made the experience very tolerable. The doctor, not his staff, personally called me post-​op to check on me. I found that very comforting. They worked with my insurance and made this as easy as possible for me. I will most certainly be recommending Riverside Oral & Maxillofacial to anyone and everyone.

The office is very clean and modern. The staff is very pleasant in person and over the phone. The staff went above and beyond to make sure I had an early appointment for surgery even though they were booked. The doctor removed four of my wisdom teeth and also put in a post for an implant. I was really nervous and scared to have so much done in one day, but in the end I had no pain or bruising! The doctor personally called me on the evening after my surgery to check up on me. He is very professional and has a great bedside manner.

I was a patient at Riverside Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery twice.
The first time was for a dental implant and the second recent procedure was to get my wisdom teeth extracted.
I am 46 years old and my wisdom teeth were difficult to extract. I was very pleasantly surprised, both with my dental implant and, recently, with my 4 difficult wisdom tooth extractions at how MINIMAL MY SWELLING AND PAIN WERE (actually none). I only needed a little bit of ibuprofen and I had almost no bleeding. Since I have had two separate experiences here, I have to attribute this to Dr. Eftimie’s surgical technique which obviously minimized the surrounding tissue trauma and made my healing so easy. Great job! I’m only coming here for any further needs.
Also, reading some of the negative reviews:
I can’t imagine these patients were in the same office. This is a bright, open, inviting and modern office with extremely friendly staff and state-​of-​the-​art equipment like 3D CT and LED Operating Room Lights, etc. There is no detail too small that is not covered especially patient safety and satisfaction. There may be many choices out there, which may even cost you fractionally less, but this is the best possible care you can get… period.

Got 4 wisdom teeth extracted here in Aug 2014 and I could not be happier. The doctor is efficient and polite, the facility is modern and extremely clean, and everyone was helpful and answered all my questions. I was scared to death of getting this done (never been put to sleep/​hate needles), and the blonde woman assisting the doctor was so comforting, despite me being in panic mode. The doctor even called after the surgery to make sure everything was going well. Would recommend.

I had a consultation here, was charged about $ 80 for a 15 minute appointment. The office is nice but the girls are not! Every single one if them was not friendly I never got a smile from any of them. I felt uncomfortable speaking to them. I took my business somewhere else.

Pretty shocked to see some of the negative reviews here.
I just went here for a wisdom teeth consultation and had downloaded the Unilocal app so I thought I would check it out.
The office is gorgeous, very modern and new. The girls up front are polite, professional, and are willing to help (such as in my case where we had to find my insurance).
This is oral surgery, did people really expect to get a consultation and/​or surgery without insurance and expect to not pay anything?
The surgeon is super nice, very funny, but in a way that isn’t distracting.
I believe I might have been there for the reviewer below me who said she didn’t expect to be charged a consultation fee, and the girl was nothing but nice and accommodating.
Overall, this place is great, plus they have coffee, which is always a good sign.

My daughter had to have all four of her wisdom teeth pulled! We immediately felt comfortable with Dr. Eftimie. At our first consultation he was very professional yet caring. He took the time to explain the procedure to us and made sure we didn’t have any questions or concerns. Then one of his girls came in to explain to us what would happen on the day of the surgery. She also provided me with a printout of the cost of the surgery less what my insurance would cover. I agree… it it expensive, especially since my insurance (like I’m sure most others) did not cover 100% of the surgery. However, considering the pain she was in not to mention the fact that not doing the surgery would have caused her teeth to crowd resulting in round two of braces (which is significantly more expensive!!) it was a must. On the day of my daughters surgery’s everyone was super attentive. Again Dr. Eftime made us feel comfortable. He even got my daughter another blanket because she was shivering in the operating room. After it was over I received the run down of what to do over the next few days and was even given the Dr.‘s cell number to call if we needed anything. He even personally told us we could call after hours if needed. I thought that was extremely nice. What impressed me even more was that he called us that night to make sure she was doing ok and to remind us to call if we needed anything! I am extremely happy with our visit and highly recommend Dr. Eftime to anyone needing dental surgery!

Initially when I made an appointment for a consultation, I was advised that the consult was going to be free and was told not to worry that everything was going to be covered by the insurance and that i didn’t have to pay anything out of pocket. I made the mistake of signing some paperwork without realizing that It stated on there that they were charging my insurance 150 dollars for the consultation.
Even though they lied to me, i was forced to go back to get the procedure done since they said that they had already charged my insurance. The girls were so rude and denied ever saying that the consultation was free and gave me no resolution.
Later, i got a bill for 150 dollars because they said the insurance didn’t end up covering the consultation after all. This place is so unethical, what a horrible experience !
DONT GO THERE!!!

Dr. Eftime and Team have exceeded my expectation as an oral surgeon.
He is a caring professional, knowlegable, kind, personable & fun.
I would definitely reffer him to anyone that requires oral surgery, In my eyes He is the best one in the inland Impire.

This place is a waste of time and the Dentist is a crook and extremely rude!!! I had a written referral to this place and was told my consultation would be free and because I didn’t use them since my insurance didn’t cover the procedure they sent me a bill for $ 80 dollars nearly 2 months later. On top of that out of pocket to have one wisdom tooth pulled was almost 500 dollars. RIP OFF!!!
Will never refer this place to anyone.
Oh and my consultation consisted of me sitting in the chair and him looking in my mouth for maybe a minute.
They can go screw themselves if they think they are getting a dime out of my pocket.
