Wen S. Fan DMD, MD

I do not understand why there are so many 5 star reviews for this place. These reviewers must all be millionaires who don’t care if they are being scammed over a month worth of rent money (in THIS area). So if you are a poor new graduate student like me, please read my review (I am from Berkeley so fellow bears, please support my review)!
I was referred to this location for a wisdom teeth removal. The fancy office and the full load of staff here pretty much tell me this is a very profitable dental office (hence the dentists must bill very very generously for their services).
The dentist gave me choices of going into deep anesthesia (absolutely no pain) or go on pain killer (so I will feel pain). He highly recommended deep anesthesia, and barely spoke about the other option. I chose to see how much deep anesthesia costs. I had double insurance, so their billing office gave me an estimate of around 250 dollars out of pocket for the entire procedure (with deep anesthesia). It was a pleasant surprise since I was expecting something outrageous.
Great, so I got the procedure done and didn’t feel a drop of pain.
A month later, I received an OUTRAGEOUS bill from their office, AFTER the deductions paid by BOTH my insurances. Looking at the bill, I saw that the deep anesthesia alone costs a total of 714 dollars, of which my insurance only covered 120 dollars. My bill is more than 3 times of my estimate. In the bill, I saw that this office charged for an additional 15 minutes of anesthesia at 210 dollars, which I am pretty sure was NOT included in my original estimate.
As a result, firstly, If I knew I would be paying over 700 dollars for deep anesthesia, I would have inquired about the other option more carefully. Secondly, if I knew my final out of pocket cost is my next month’s rent, I would have walked away from the procedure entirely. My wisdom tooth was not causing critical problems anyways. Thirdly, the entirely cheap estimate of around 200 dollars out of pocket cost ENTIRELY FALSELY advertised this place to me. If they did not give me such an estimate, I would have thought about the cost of this procedure more carefully.
Essentially, now that I had the procedure done, I am stuck with this outrageous bill and they said there is no room for negotiation. I wonder if they expect people like me to sell a kidney in order to pay a bill that we had NO WARNING FOR!
I wasn’t given a choice. Usually, if I see something out of my price range, I simply wouldn’t buy it. But now, I unknowingly bought a very very expensive product, and I am stuck with the bill. Please wish me luck paying this off.

I would highly recommend this office if you find yourself in need of oral surgery and are looking for a wonderful surgeon with a great bedside manner.
Dr. Fan was extremely friendly and compassionate to my anxiety over the procedure.
He explained every detail and answered all of my questions and concerns, which were plentiful. I felt extremely comfortable with him and his staff.
My surgery went perfectly and my recovery was a breeze.
After the surgery, Dr. Fan came to talk to me directly and make sure that I was feeling okay.
Upon seeing that I was still quite groggy, he reiterated the important information to my husband to assure that we knew exactly what had occurred during surgery. Both my husband and I were impressed not only with Dr. Fan but with his entire office. Everyone was friendly and helpful and the office runs efficiently which made the whole experience much more pleasant. Thank you Dr. Fan and staff!

TLDR; I am probably a horrible patient but Dr. Fan still took good care of me. Risk of nerve damage, friendly and understanding staff, flexible scheduling, always kept me well informed, painless and successful procedure, easy recovery.
My experience:
My primary care dentist told me that I needed to get my Wisdom tooth extracted and that I had a high risk of nerve damage for my right tooth. I was worried that I would look and talk weirdly if I lost control the left side of my lip. So I decided to search for the best Oral Surgeon I could find and I came across Dr. Wen Fan because he was salutatorian of his Harvard Dental class. I was able to get a consultation the next day after calling their office.
The office waiting room is spacious, has free refreshments, and the staff is friendly. During my consultation, Dr. Fan explained my options and confirmed that I will need to get my wisdom teeth removed eventually. He stated that their is a 1% risk of nerve damage for my left tooth and a 10−15% chance of nerve damage for my right tooth. Hearing this was a huge relief for me because I expected the risk to be much higher. He also comforted me about the worse case scenario. He said that even if I get nerve damage, it will only impact my sensory nerve and not my motor nerve. As a result, nobody else would be able to tell that anything is wrong with me. In addition, he said I would get used to having a numb feeling in my lower lip and chin. He also told me that he’ll put me to sleep and when I wake up, everything would be all over. After his consultation, all of my fears went away and I stopped worrying about the surgery.
His staff called me the night before to confirm that I took the proper steps before the surgery.
Today was day of the surgery and my appointment was scheduled at 8:40 am. I set a alarm on my phone and told my roommate to wake me up as insurance. My phone battery died and my roommate was still sleeping. When I woke up, it was already 9:08 am. I immediately called their office and apologized for my irresponsibility. Luckily, they were able to reschedule me to 11 am that day. They started preparing to put me to sleep at 11am. During that time, I was apologizing to all the staff for sleeping through my first appointment. I don’t even remember falling asleep or waking up. All I remember is that they were preparing to put me to sleep and all of the sudden, everyone was packing up stuff telling me that the surgery was over. I did not even feel any pain, all I noticed was that their was some tissue in my mouth. My face wasn’t that swollen either. It was 11:55 am. I could barely walk properly leaving the office and my friend took good care of me. I took a nap until 3 pm. When I woke up, I replaced the tissues in my mouth by following the instructions they left me, and I took an antibiotic and ibuprofen that they prescribe. I did not need to take the stronger pain killer. At 5pm, they called me again to check up on me. The bleeding has stopped and they told me that I could remove the tissues. They encouraged me to keep icing the area, gave me some advice, and answer my questions. The swelling as gone down completely by 5:30 and I could tell that there was no nerve damage whatsoever because I have full feeling of my tongue, lower flip, and chin. I feel like I am in perfect condition (but maybe that’s the ibuprofen). Dr. Fan did an amazing job and this has been the most painless experience I could’ve imagined. I definitely recommend him to whoever is looking for a good oral surgeon.

Had oral surgery here, most comfortable I’ve ever been with a dentist. Recovery went well, and the dentist leaves you with instructions on what to do day 1, day 2 and so on; highly considerate. Dr Fan also explains everything to you. Best oral surgery ever had.

So, first of all, their office is very new and very clean. The have complimentary drinks at the front desk, self serve.
Second, my consultation was quick and when I first met Dr. Fan, he was very friendly and took me step by step on how the procedure will go. (wisdom teeth removal) He spoke slowly so that I wouldn’t miss anything and asked me if I had any questions.
A couple weeks later, I got all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled and although the aftermath was horrible, the doctors and nurses here were very comforting. My experience here was A+ I’m honestly so glad that I got my wisdom teeth removed here.
And if you have any problems, like you feel pain or anything abnormal, call the office and they’ll ask you to come in ASAP so they can check you out! They will make time for you!

Discovered this place on Unilocal and read almost all the reviews on it including a couple other oral surgeon locations. Definitely happy I decided to go with Dr. Fan’s office.
Called into this office pretty much last minute because I held off on getting my wisdom teeth pulled for almost 6 months until my gums were excruciating with pain. Surprisingly they were able to take me in immediately which was awesome of them. From the phone call to the post surgery appointment Dr. Fan and his office staff were on point with everything. The whole team made me feel comfortable with the surgery and did a great job explaining the payments I needed to complete with my insurance coverage.
If only I had more wisdom teeth then I could visit this office one more time with their outstanding service/​info.

I got 4 wisdom teeth removed. 2 pulled and 2 with surgery.
If I had to, I’d do it again. This guy is great

I was pleased with my entire experience here.
I had my wisdom teeth consultation with Dr. Cheng. He was very thorough in his explanations and a nice guy. I would have had my extractions done by him if his days weren’t limited at this office.
I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth extracted by Dr. Fan and his staff about a week ago. I had one tooth close to a nerve, but everything went smoothly. I’ve had very little pain and swelling and have only had to take ibuprofen a few times. This was much better than expected! I might just ask these guys to take out 4 more teeth for the heck of it…
The office is pretty new, so it is nice, clean and up to date. Everyone from Martha at the front desk to the entire dental staff exude professionalism. I had two other consultations before going with this office… I know I made the right choice.

I needed an extraction, bone graft and implant, for one of my rear molars. Dr. Fan not only performed these procedures optimally, his craftsmanship was evident at stage. Add to this his exceptional chair-​side manner and you have the complete package. His entire staff never failed to be polite, professional and forthcoming; I was always informed and never felt neglected. They all deserve 10 stars. **********

My wisdom teeth had to be removed. NO big deal you say? Well, as a senior citizen, I heard all the horror stories. And, admittedly, I couldn’t imagine the pain I was going to have to endure after the surgery. But, I couldn’t put it off any longer.
Wow, what a great experience. Staff was very professional. Not sure what Dr. Fan did but I had no excess swelling or bruising. Never had to take narcotic drugs just Advil, which was a relief. Within a couple of days, I was almost back to normal. Dr. Fan is gifted and would recommend him highly to anyone.

Great staff, great environment. If I had more wisdom teeth to pull out I would go to dr. fan. Highly recommend him to anyone who wants an excellent dental extraction or Any type of oral surgical experience.

I had my wisdom tooth removed with Dr. Fan. He is great! And the staffs are friendly and the environment is neat. The procedure was painful but he was so considerate and professional, which helped relieve the pain.
My ‘OK’ range is pretty broad so I very rarely leave reviews. But this place overall is very impressive and I got nothing to complain about. Thanks again, Dr. Fan!

I was referred to Dr. Wen Fan by my general dentist, Dr. Joyce Lam (Campbell, CA — highly recommended) when I needed an urgent extraction done due to infection and pain. Martha (who seemed to be an office manager and handle front desk) gave me a call, answered some questions for me, and scheduled enough time for a consultation, and if I wanted to move forward, surgery. She was REALLY polite and professional. As the first point of contact with this office, she left a great impression!
Let me start off by saying. I was horrified at the thought of anesthesia. Dr. Fan and his staff answered ALL of my questions in depth, and did so happily. I didn’t feel like they were annoyed by me what so ever. I am one of those annoying patients that does immense amounts of research before a procedure or appointment. (I am just too curious. Yes, I am looking forward to medical school!) We went into my medical history in detail, which was so assuring to me that they take everything into account. I decided to proceed.
We looked over my x-​ray together, and discussed the risks associated with my low, impacted wisdom teeth. The risks of nerve damage would be significant, so he told me I should first have a cone beam x-​ray done to see how the nerve runs along the teeth. He was confident that removing the infected tooth and wisdom tooth next to it would be okay, so that’s what we decided to do.
They gave me a blanket and got me comfortable. The ladies who were in the room with me were SO fun to have around. No one seemed to be nervous, rushed, or stressed. I got an IV inserted and some fluids. None of that hurt. Those are the things you notice when you’re scared, and there was none of that around me. Nothing but jokes, and calm, friendly voices.
They told me I would start being relaxed… and just like that, I was out. Anesthesia is AMAZING. It’s unreal. I woke up, and it was over! Seriously, going under was so interesting, I may in fact get my wisdom teeth out one by one for the hell of it: P
I was taken home and relaxed the rest of the afternoon. The next 2 days did NOT require pain killers. Wow right? After a few days, soreness kicked in, but wasn’t intolerable. I was told by so many people that the worst procedure EVER is having wisdom teeth removed, so I was bracing for the worst.
They called me to see how I was doing, and scheduled a follow-​up visit for 1 week later. I was nervous because the stitches started coming out about 5 days in. I was worried what Dr. Fan would say during the follow-​up. He said it’s healing great and looks nice and clean :)
If you want to have the best possible experience doing something everyone dreads, GO TO THIS OFFICE. I know I have to go back and get the other teeth removed, and I’m not afraid at all.

I had had a nagging toothache/​headache for months when I finally went to the dentist and was told that I needed my wisdom teeth out. He referred me to Dr. Fan in Cupertino and I’m glad that I went. I was pretty nervous because I’ve never had any sort of surgery before, but from the moment I stepped in to his office, I felt at ease. The office was bright and clean, the staff friendly, and Dr. Fan seemed like a very knowledgable guy. On the actual day of the procedure, I thought that I’d be in so much pain that I blocked off the rest of my day, but I didn’t even need to. I was in and out of his offices before I knew it, and even though he prescribed a whole bottle of Vicodin, I didn’t even use it. I actually just used Advil for the first 2 days afterward and I was fine. The whole process could not have been smoother and I highly recommend Dr. Fan and his office to anyone who is looking for a good oral surgeon.
