Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Disappointed with his unprofessional service
I was recommended by Dr. Lozano with a tooth under inflammation. All I need is antibiotics to reduce the inflammation at the time, I wish Dr. Lozano had given me the prescription, but his diagnosis was that I had a broken tooth and referred me to Dr. Oliver. Without doing the due examination or x-ray, when I asked what I supposed to do, Dr. Oliver told me if I didn’t remove the tooth, my face would be swollen. Given two dentists told me that I had a broken tooth with inflammation, I followed Dr. Oliver’s advice and removed my tooth, the first one in 40 years. To my shock and to Dr. Oliver’s shock, he removed an intact tooth as he showed it to me and the assistant. I regret to have listened to his unprofessional advice, otherwise, I would have been able to use the tooth for a few more years if not more. In short, I’m extremely disappointed with his service.

Thanks for your expert opinion!
I was referred to Dr. Oliver by my new dentist after my old one said I needed painful and expensive gum and bone surgery. As an experienced practitioner, he knew that my gum rescission was due to orthodontics 50+ years ago to correct a 1/2' overbite. (I guess the gums did not stretch as the orthodontist brought my lower jaw forward to reduce the overbite.) He was very nice, answered all my questions and best of all saved me from very painful and extensive surgery. I highly recommend him and his friendly office!

Fantastic Periodontist & Staff
I was recommended to Dr. Oliver by my dentist. After having a very thorough consultation & evaluation, surgery was scheduled. I had gingival flap procedures, in 4 different areas, 2 bone replacement graphs & a subepithelial connective tissue graft, during the surgery. He was incredibly kind and encouraging during the procedure. I am 4 days post-surgery, and I am so pleased how all the procedures are healing. I have zero pain. I am very grateful for Dr. Oliver & his amazing staff. Thank you! - JLB

A truly wonderful experience.
I came to Dr. Oliver with complicated periodontal issues. I had many questions and much trepidation after having met with other periodontists. Dr Oliver had the patience to take the time and effort to help me sort out what is best for me so I could become comfortable with the procedures needed to bring me back to good dental health. I have now worked with Dr. Oliver for several months and plan to be his patient going forward for whatever may be needed in the future. He is apparently quite experienced and quite capable in addition to being kind and understanding. He runs a top notch, first class operation.
