Recovery was much easier and more pain free than I expected. I couldn't be happier with my choice of using dr. Sitti.

Wait time was minimal. They called me before my first appointment and helped me complete my chart information. The person calling seemed extremely knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. They didn't drag me all over the clinic for every different aspect of my treatment. They came to me in the room. Dr. Sitti and his fellow were great! Explained everything thoroughly. My procedure went well. In and out in a very reasonable time frame.

Well run practice, on time and high quality care. Only observation is the stands for monitors, BP, etc, were filthy. Housekeeping needs a little guidance.

It was a great visit. I was waited on immediately according to my appointment. Dr Sitti greeted me with a smile and with his usual friendly personality

I would have like a little more explanation of what to expect if I elected to have the suggested surgery, as far as, how long it would take and recovery procedures. I'm sure these will be answered at a later to day. Everyone was very nice and the wait time was very minimal.

While I am grateful to Dr. Sitti and his team for taking care of my dental situation, and to Dr. [ ] for operating, I can't say for sure if I would recommend it to anyone. It all depends on anyone who has dental insurance and is looking for a great recommendation. Overall, thank you to Dr. Sitti, Dr, [ ], and their team for all they have done.

We had a great experience. The tech who did the X-rays was absolutely fantastic. She took great care to be supportive and patient
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/14/2025
Everyone was great from checking in to check out and everything in between everybody was just awesome and even though they've ever heard me to another one of their colleagues, I would definitely go back and see them again if I could and will if I need to this is the best group of dental surgeons and professionals that I've ever . And if you're on the fence about a dental surgeon, definitely look into Dr. Sittitavornwong (aka Dr Sitti) he is awesome.

The ORAL SURGEON I saw said my dental problem was ""all in my head"". He gave me an exercise plan for my neck and back, a meal plan and meditation exercises. He repeated that my pain was ""in my head"". He offered me an anxiety prescription...

My whole experience with them was completely stress free and smooth. The surgery I had done was successful and I have no complaints with any services received

I don't feel the doctor is really hearing me or taking my TMJ D seriously. I'm grateful for his expertise... It's just the pain of the TMJ D isn't being addressed. That's the problem. I hope this survey helps in whatever it is that's being surveyed. Thank you
