The entire experience was smooth and professional. My son had all his wisdom teeth removed and since no one in our... family had had them removed, I was not familiar with the procedure, Dr. Pedroletti was amazing with us he was informative and very patient as he explained in detail the procedure. The team was caring and professional and showed patience with me ( the mom) and weren't bothered to answer ALL my questions.read more

I highly recommend this clinic. I had an appointment with Dr. Fred Pedroletti, where he clarified my doubts and... explained everything about my condition. I set a date for my tooth extraction, and naturally, I was a bit nervous about it. On the day, the first thing the doctor did was play a Jack Johnson cd on the background. He assured me that it will be fine, and explained the process again. I started to feel confident and relaxed. After the surgery, I received messages to check if I was recovering fine. I'm really grateful for his professionalism and care.read more

They are all professional, knowledgeable and kind. I went in feeling nervous and worried but they quickly put my mind at ease.

My recovery has been much better than I could of ever expected all thanks to an amazing job done by the doctor and his team. I am so thankful to be able to say I have found an oral surgeon who makes me feel like I can accomplish all of my goals with my mouth that I have in mind. I used to be so scared of the dentist but this experience has definitely made me feel more positive about going to the dentist and confident in my path to having a beautiful mouth.

I visited your office for a consultation with Dr. Layne who was referred to me by my dentist Dr. Luger. The process of... booking the appointment, the kind reminders and the actual experience of visiting the office was quite exceptional. I did not have to wait because I was able to complete my medical history online so I was shown in for x-rays and to meet Dr. Layne immediately. I found all the personnel at the office to be very professional and courteous. Dr. Layne himself was very informative, professional and very pleasant. While I still have to decide between the options that he gave me and actually have a procedure done in your office, I feel confident that whatever I decide, it will be done in the best possible way by Dr. Layne and his staff. Thank you for a very satisfying first office experience.

My 16 year old son needed to have his wisdom teeth removed. I didn't know Dr. Pedroletti but I chose him because of his... excellent reviews. I can confirm that he is truly OUTSTANDING -- as a doctor and a human being. He even called me the night of the procedure to check on my son and left his cell phone number in case we had any questions! I could not recommend him more highly or enthusiastically! Great person and great professional.read more

I am 58 years old and had my wisdom tooth removed yesterday. I drove over two hours to see Dr. Layne as he took great... care of my husband a few years back for his dental procedure. This Dr. is amazing. He truly cares about his patients. You don't often see the combination of a highly skilled surgeon with incredible bedside manners. He truly cares about his patients. I felt comfortable with my procedure as I knew I was in the best of hands. I am truly grateful to Dr. Layne and his staff as the procedure was a breeze and I felt very little pain afterwards. His assistant was so pleasant and informative. My appointment was at 1:15 and we were driving home by 2:30. On top of that I got a call that evening to see how I was doing. My only wish is that all medical practices were run as efficient as this one.read more

Dr Layne and most of his staff I would recommend completely. Dr Layne is a professional who does great work and has... great follow-up care as well. However the woman in the front (I believe her name is Patti) is rude and does not appear to assist with insurance benefits. They did not want to follow what my insurance company asked for them to provide which was data that procedure was to be medically necessary and instead choosing to charge me full price for a procedure that could have been covered. If issue gets resolved I will amend the review but for now I don't believe they were looking out for patient benefit, only to charge more up front.read more

We had a great experience with both staff and the doctor. The staff was wonderful, despite the fact that I came in... unprepared and had not completed their online forms .

We were able to get a follow up appointment easily and they explained all in detail.As a physician myself I really admire and appreciate when an office is so well run. I fully recommend Dr. Pedroletti and his staff.read more
