My true passion is in the patient experience, and I am profoundly grateful to be able to help people through surgery.

He was great! The only thing that wasn't done.... I was told that a follow up call would be made to check on how I was doing. I never received such a call. (Everything was fine; however, the call was never made to check.)

One of the better experiences I've had for an extraction and I've had many in my 87 years.

Dr. Vallejo and the dental assistant were an amazing team. They were professional and compassionate throughout my entire experience. During my wisdom teeth removal, there was a challenge with getting one of my teeth completely numb and they showed great compassion and it was clear that making the procedure as pain free as possible was their top priority.

I would highly recommend the dental specialists, and specifically Dr. Vallejo to anyone needing a dental surgery.

Vallejo was great and didn't push any further course of treatment on me, so I could keep my options open. His extraction of the #14 molar was so non-invasive, if that's the right word, that I was left with almost no pain even when the anesthesia wore off. I took only two Ibuprofens the first day, nothing after that. My regular dentist's office sent me to Vallejo in the first place, but I contacted them after the extraction to tell them to keep recommending him.

Dr Vallejo was so friendly and explained everything in detail. He provided a welcoming environment and made me feel comfortable. I trust that I would be well taken care of in a procedure with him.

The surgeon was good to explain my situation, discuss options, and then make recommendations. When the option to have the implant that visit was not achievable because the angle was not what he wanted, he explained this and then the resulting course of action. He was good at explaining before and during the procedure.

I saw Dr. Marvin Vallejo for wisdom tooth surgery. In both the consultation and the actual procedure he was extremely understanding of my fears about feeling pain during the procedure and helped to reassure me of the likelihood of any pain and how it would be addressed. I felt confident in my care and subsequent recovery. He furthermore kept me informed of everything he was doing or was going to do during the surgery and allowed me to take breaks when needed.
