PATIENT REVIEWS

I highly recommend Dr. Berrios for any wisdom teeth surgery! As a 28 year old I was nervous with getting the last 3 out, 2 on bottom and one on top. But his pre check appts and follow ups were so helpful. He is kind and knowledgeable. He made the entire process smooth along with his helpful staff. Thanks Angel! I followed his directions and had no infections after the recovery. Please see him if you need your wisdom teeth out. Thanks again!

Knowledgeable and helpful office and dental assistants plus a kind, caring and talented surgeon = BEST CHOICE YOU CAN MAKE FOR AN ORAL SURGEON.

My wife has had Dr. Berrios perform 3 tooth extractions and implants over the last 10 years; the last 2 were done over the previous several years.  We are very pleased with Dr. Berrios and his team.  He has a superb doctor-patient relationship.  He takes the time to explain everything and to answer all questions.

Long story short. I woke up with an excruciating tooth ache from a wisdom tooth. My dentist, Dr. Scott Christiansen referred my to Dr. Berrios’ office. In no less than 24 hours I was sitting in the chair and Dr. Alan Shaw and staff walked me through the entire procedure, putting my mind at ease. I walked in nervous, and walked out 30 minutes later very happy. Very professional! Would recommend to anyone that needs an oral surgery. Thanks!

The compassionate team at Ocean Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery was so helpful in ensuring that I had all the right information and care for the removal of my lower impacted molars. From pre-op to the day of surgery and then post-operative care, they helped me to feel comfortable and make sure that the entire process went as smoothly as possible.

Dr. Berrios is the best there is. I had four wisdom teeth extracted, and it was a painless operation. No complications and he even calls that same evening for an update. Dr. Berrios and his staff are a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend Dr. Berrios and Ocean Oral Surgery.

My daughter recently had her wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Barrios and his team. We could not have asked for a better experience.  Dr. Barrios, the entire office and medical staff treated us very kindly and compassionately. My daughter was very nervous to have the procedure but Dr. Barrios calm, thoughtful and kind explanation both before and after procedure made it smooth. I highly recommend this office for your oral surgery needs. Thank you Dr. Barrios and staff.

Nobody looks forward to going to the oral surgeon, but Dr. Berrios is an amazing oral surgeon. I saw him for an implant and the procedure went perfectly and my new crown is indistinguishable from my other teeth thanks to the teamwork between Dr. Berrios and my dentist, Dr. Johnny Wong. Dr. Berrios gives you clear and easy to follow explanations and instructions. There is no arrogance or cockiness, just a caring confidence that is hard to find among other dentists and surgeons. As another reviewer says, do your homework but you won’t find a better oral surgeon or support staff anywhere in Orange County.

Amazing staff, very welcoming environment, and the most friendly dentist I’ve ever met. Dr. Berrios did my wisdom tooth surgery which I was very nervous for, but the procedure went so smoothly I forgot why I was even worried in the first place. 10/10 recommend anyone go here for quality service and a great experience.

Thank you Dr.Rick Berrios & staff for being so kind & informative. My daughter was very nervous having her wisdom teeth removed but all of you made her feel comfortable through out this process. Thank you!!

I’ve had the pleasure of being Dr Berrio’s patient on two occasions. He and his office provide very good care and always made sure I was comfortable. He always follows up himself after a surgery which is awesome.

I was recently referred to Dr. Berrios for wisdom teeth extraction, and I’m so happy that I was! Dr. Berrios and his team ensured my experience was stress-free from beginning to end. I highly recommend Dr. Berrios!

On an annual x-ray during my daughters check up the dentist discovered a dark area on the x-ray in the lower left quadrant of my daughters jaw/mandible. She referred us to Dr. Berrios. After sitting down with Dr. Berrios and going over the possibilities we decided he was the one to go with. He was super detail oriented and very compassionately explained to our 12-year-old daughter what the possibilities were and how he would proceed. At our daughters dentist’s advice and Dr. Berrios, we decided to have my daughters wisdom teeth removed at the same time as the biopsy sampling surgery since one wisdom tooth already was affected and had to come out anyway. Surgery went as expected and Dr. Berrios’s office even took the time to contact the pathology lab early out to see if by chance the pathology report would be back before Christmas break started and the pathology office would be closed. He was able to get a hold of a preliminary report and called me from his cell phone personally to fill me in with what the pathology office knew up to that point. It was a positive report and was quite a relief that we did not have to worry about it for an additional week. This relief was made possible because of Dr. Berrios’s compassion as a person and physician. Before the final CAT scan months later to do a follow up, My wife and I had questions and requested a call from Dr. Berrios. He returned our call and took the time to explain what the next steps would be in the follow up visit. My wife and daughter attended the follow up visit in which a CT scan was taken to see what the progress was in healing. This happened to be in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic and the office personnel were meticulous about health procedures and keeping my wife and daughter safe and yet being compassionate at the same time. Dr. Berrios sat down with my wife and daughter and went over the CT results in person, in detail, and did not rush and was the epitome of what one would expect in an exceptional physician. Wouldn’t go anywhere else for any other person in my family. Daughter number two will be heading his way for wisdom teeth removal. Thank you Dr. Berrios.

We just had our follow up visit after my child’s dental procedure and I’m ready to give my 5 star review. After a total of 4 visits with Dr. Berrios and his staff, I confidently and highly recommend this practice. In addition to being very good at what he does, Dr. Berrios impressed me with how kind and gently he was with my 8 year old. He spent a lot of time talking and explaining things to him at each visit, making sure he understood what was going on and was comfortable with what needed to be done. At both the HB and Costa Mesa sites, staff was professional, kind, and considerate.  They really now how to make an otherwise painful procedure not so painful for the child or parent. Thanks!

I wouldn’t trust anyone else!  Dr. Berrios does excellent work and has the best bedside manner.  He is kind, gentle and caring. His follow up was prompt and greatly appreciated.  His office staff is also great.

Dr. Berrios is the most respected & down to earth person! He’s really detailed when explaining procedure & also calls you personally that night after the procedure to check on you! I can guarantee that you will not find some one as kind as him!

Dr. Berrios is nothing short of phenomenal. 3 years ago I had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted without any problems. Recently I found myself needing another oral surgery and didn’t hesitate to call Dr. Berrios’s office. I had yet another successful oral surgery 1 week ago. Hours after the surgery, he was calling to check up on me and make sure there were no post op complications. Dr. Berrios is extremely knowledgeable, personable, and talented. Dr. Berrios and staff are superb. I would never consider going elsewhere.

Dr. Berrios and his staff are top notch – which is rare these days. He takes the time to explain everything in a detailed and easy-to-understand manner without being condescending. The staff is friendly and competent (which is not generally my experience in medical offices lately) and they made the process easy and stress-free for my daughter. Wisdom teeth are gone – pain and stress was minimal – and if I could give 10 stars to Dr. Berrios, I would!

Oh my, finding a truly good dentist who is competent, caring and competitive is not easy to do. Usually feel like I’m at a car dealer and ask ” how much is it?” And they reply ” How much you GOT?” or like a mechanic who you know is weighing your purse. Dr. Shaw and Dr. Barrios are WONDERFUL professional people. Their staff as well. You need not worry if they are overcharging you or pressuring you into a procedure you don’t actually need. They are precisely what you are looking for. In the 10 years I’ve know them they come out as raising the bar on professionalism and quality. Love these fine folks. Go and go with peace of mind,

I have been unfortunate enough to have 2 dental emergencies over the past couple of years and both times I have gone to Dr. Berrios.  He came highly recommended by an ER doctor who works with him on occassion. I had a terrible abcess that was very painful and Dr. Berrios saw me immediately.  I was surprised at the care and amount of time he took to explain everything to me.  I was even more surprised to receive a call from him later in the evening to check on how I was doing and to let me know again the specifics of after care.  I have never had a doctor or a dentist call me to check on my progress. The second time I saw Dr. Berrios was actually for my daughter.  She had all four of her wisdom teeth extracted.  Again, the care before, during and after was wonderful. Dr, Berrios and his staff made sure my daughter and I both knew exactly what he would be doing and they were so professional and friendly.  He made sure that the follow up was just as important as the actual extraction visit. I have 2 other kids and will take them to Dr. B for wisdom teeth issues. Thanks so much for you kindness and care!

Dr. Berrios is the best!  Recently, I had extensive oral surgery done by Dr. Berrios and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.  My consultation with Dr. Berrios was great, he was so thorough and patient with me.  He answered all of my questions and really put my mind at ease about the whole thing. On the day of my surgery, everything went perfectly, my recovery was painless, and now I have the smile I’ve always wanted!  I cannot thank Dr. Berrios enough. I should also mention his staff.  They did an excellent job from start to finish as well.  The ladies at the front are kind and courteous and they did a great job explaining all the financial details to me. His ladies that helped during and after surgery were also so kind and caring, I just knew the whole time I was there that I was in good hands! I would recommend Dr. Berrios to anyone that needs any kind of oral surgery!  He is truly the best around.

I just had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed today and wow, i was impressed. Dr. Rick Berrios is an amazing oral surgeon! He and staff are all very nice and  considerate. They explain everything very well so you can understand the process and even call you later on that night to check on you. The doctor could tell I was scared before the procedure so he made some jokes to make me feel better. Also, when they were getting ready to put me under anesthesia, one of his assistants held and rubbed my had to help calm me down. That was really nice of her. I would definitely recommend this place!

Dr Rick Berrios has been my oral surgeon for my wisdom tooth extraction. He is such a patient and a wonderful doctor. Every time I go to his office , I never felt rushed. He cares about his patients . He called me at home to see how I was doing and he called  the pharmacy for a prescription on a weekend. His office staff is excellent. No long waits when I’m at the office.  I strongly recommend Dr Berrios.

Dr Berrios took out my daughters wisdom teeth. He was very professional and very thorough. He took his time with us and because my daughter has Autism, he made sure she understood as much as she could. It helps that his daughter has Autism because I think it put a sweet spot in his heart. I also cannot say enough good things about the office staff. They were all very sweet and kept me informed of her progress. I highly recommend this doctor to anyone!!

Dr. Berrios is an excellent oral surgeon. I had a tooth abscess on a Sunday night and my dentist sent me to Dr. Berrios.  Dr. Berrios brought me in right away, Monday morning and took care of me.  If you have ever had a tooth abscess, you know it is the most painful thing to experience!  Luckily, Dr. Berrios saved the day and helped me first thing in the morning.  His office was busy and I could tell he fit me into his busy schedule because I was in so much pain.  He was kind and caring and helped me feel better immediately.  The follow up visits were pleasant and I feel lucky to have met such an excellent doctor!

Had both my son’s and daughter’s wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Berrios – he’s great with kids/teens and parents, explains everything, very thorough, very kind, very calm.  Makes you feel at ease.  Both surgeries were over quickly, no complications, great aftercare.  The office staff are very friendly, very patient.  Great dentist and office, two offices actually, makes it nice.  Highly recommend him!

If you need wisdom teeth extraction, this is the place to go! I had all four of mine removed (bottom two were impacted, top two had cavities) and the procedure went seamlessly. I went to sleep, woke up, and all four were gone! He did an excellent job as I barely felt any pain afterwards. I didn’t even have to use the norco, only the ibuprofen was needed. What’s also excellent about this place is how he gives you a thorough consultation beforehand so you know exactly what to expect and he does it in such an efficient and caring manner. He gives you instructions to follow beforehand and afterwards and as long as you follow them, you should have no problems!

Dr. Berrios is like a mystical unicorn, every word he says is calming and reassuring. Aside from his terrific bedside manner he is a remarkable surgeon. His Costa Mesa office is amazing, the staff and support staff are kind, smart, and efficient. Thank you so much Dr. Berrios & staff you are truly appreciated!!!

11  years ago I had the most serious jaw surgery by Dr B. Even though the surgery was hard dr Berrios was a great doctor he explained everything and was very helpful in everything I highly recommend him.

I’ve been to many doctors offices and by far my experience here has been among the best. I came in 10 minutes early and they got me in 5 minutes after that. The staff here were very helpful and cheerful, without the chatty high school girl vibe you usually get from behind the counter. Dr. Rick himself is a standup guy that really seems to like what he does and takes total pride in his dorky spectacle head attachment he walks around the office with. 10/10 would get wisdom teeth pulled again.

My teenage son needed some serious dental surgery, the kind where wire your jaw is wired for weeks afterwards.  We talked to several surgeons but choose Dr Berrios based on the good first visit we had with him. My son and our family had a great experience with Dr Berrios and his staff undergoing this surgery!   He explained everything, answered all our questions patiently, and was very caring, especially after surgery.  He made a difficult experience bearable.  My son’s surgery was very successful. Since then, both my wife and I have needed oral surgery (extractions and implants), we both chose Dr Berrios, and we both had positive outcomes.  My wife’s case was especially difficult since she is disabled, but Dr. Berrios was superb as usual. We recommend Dr Berrios to anyone who needs dental surgery.

My experience with Ocean Oral was very pleasant. I was very worried going into it, but as soon as I met Dr. Berrios and he explained everything to me in detail I was not worried at all. The surgery was quick and painless and Dr. Berrios did a great job. The staff at Ocean Oral are very kind and will help you with whatever you need.

I can’t recommend Dr. Berrios highly enough. Dr. Berrios extracted my remaining three wisdom teeth and made the process so incredibly easy and comfortable. From the consult, to the procedure, and then the follow up, it was as pleasant as can be. If you are in need of an oral surgeon, Dr. Berrios and his team should be your first call.

Words cannot describe how grateful I am for Dr.  Berrios. He did my son’s surgery. Very complicated. Dr. Berrios did such a wonderful job and he also called to check on my son 3 times thank you so much Dr Berrios for being such a  professional
