I was referred to Dr. Isreal by my regular dentist for an impacted wisdom tooth. I contacted Dr. Israel’s office the week of November 5 2018 and had to wait about a month for just a consult. In that time the tooth became more irritated so I called the office to see if they could see me sooner as the tooth was starting to present issues. The rescheduled my appointment for one (yes, you read that right - ONE) day earlier. At the consult on December 3, 2018 I was treated wonderfully by the assistants and Dr. Isreal was pleasant enough if not slightly rushed. He agreed the tooth needed to come out as it had started poking through the gum and was “a breeding ground for infection” (his words.) The earliest appointment they had available was January 15th. About a week after that consult the impacted wisdom tooth became very inflamed and my face swelled up. Extremely, extremely painful. I called the office with what has now become an actual emergency. THEY REFUSED TO SEE ME. The woman who answered the phone told me “there is absolutely no way to be seen before mid January.” I asked what the protocol for emergency patients was. She replied I could try calling the “other oral surgeon in town” and that she would talk to Dr. Isreal to see if he would prescribe an antibiotic to “help calm it down.” Several hours later I received a call back that she had spoken to Dr. Isreal and that he “didn’t want to prescribe anything” but they would put me on a list as a priority if someone cancels. I ended up in the emergency room. The manner in which Dr. Israel and his team handled a true emergency of a patient who they KNEW to have a problematic tooth, who DIAGNOSED the problem themselves, was not only wrong but cruel. Stay away from this practice at all costs. UPDATE: I just went in person to cancel the January 15th appointment. Not only was the appointment already cancelled (😳) but as I was explaining my reasons for canceling to Stacy, the receptionist (who to her credit was being very polite) another woman behind the desk inserted herself, uninvited, into the conversation and insisted that I would not have been refused service “without a good reason.” When I pressed her for why an emergency would not be considered “a good reason” she simply blinked at me. She then went on to say “I’m sure you’re a nice person” (whatever that’s supposed to mean or how that’s relaveant to a medical emergency is beyond me) but there was no way the events happened in the way I was saying it did. She proceeded to condescendingly “apologize” for offending me. I explained I wasn’t offended, I was NEGLECTED which was promptly dismissed by this woman. I reminded her that Dr. Isreal only has two shots at erasing negative reviews left on Vitals.com (the first review I left disappeared and when I contacted vitals.com they explained that docs have two “just because” chances to erase negative reviews - I’m assuming this is what happened) and that I will continue to leave the true story of my encounter until it sticks (vitals.com only allows you to review the same doctor once a month). The conversation was going nowhere so I left. This was such a terrible, dangerous, UNNECESSARY experience.

Dr. Israel removed my wisdom tooth, as well as doing reconstructive work on my daughter. I would not go to anyone else for oral surgery!

Everyone from the front office to the assistants and the dentist was very professional. They took the time to explain the proceedure and made every effort to make me comfortable. The office was clean and well maintained. Dr. Isreal is a very knowledgable man and very professional. I will definitely go see him again if the need arises and will recommend him to others.
