Christopher S. Daniel, DDS MD FACS

After many years of being unable to tend to the upkeep of my dental condition, I finally got up the nerve to go in for an overhaul. All I was looking for was a tiny bit of empathy. At my first appointment Dr. Daniel stated «If you hadn’t let it get this bad.» as if I chose to be in this situation. While I was hesitant to return, Dr. Daniel came highly recommended, so I was willing to be cordial and professional in order to get the best treatment. On my second appointment Dr. Daniel took a CT scan and explained the procedure and I was excited and anxious to move forward. After twice cancelling and rescheduling my 3^rd appointment, Dr. Daniel began by saying he was sorry I was sick and had to reschedule this appointment. What?!? I told him that they rescheduled not me. He said he perhaps had me confused with another patient. Then he proceeded to reiterate the information from our previous appointment. I told him that I understood all of that and was just there to get the action plan to move forward. He told me that I was so unsure at the end of our last appointment that he had not made plans for moving forward. I told him that I was quite clear that I wanted to move forward as quickly as possible during our last appointment. As we continued to talk it was clear that he had me completely confused with someone else. I was devastated. In their defense, I was probably pretty curt because I was so frustrated. It seemed to me that the appointment was a complete waste of our time. I sent an e-​mail discussing my concerns and that I wanted to proceed as urgently as possible. Three days later I received a certified letter terminating our patient/​doctor relationship. With the added insult of the final line of the letter telling me that I should not hesitate in getting my treatment done as my dental disease was so severe. Really!!! Was that not what I had been trying to do all along? As the title of this review states, I was sorely disappointed that they could not be professional and work with me on this procedure.

I love this office! My daughter had oral surgery for four teeth and Dr. Daniel and his staff are so amazing! She was very nervous and they made her feel comfortable and at ease. Her recovery was super fast. I recommend Dr. Daniel to all my friends and family! He’s the best!

I had a root canal treated tooth that failed and the tooth needed to be extracted. It was recommended that I have bone grafting done at the same time as the extraction to help the healing process. I chose to be awake for the procedure only because I didn’t like the thought of being sedated. Dr. Daniel and his staff were very nice, gentle, and professional. They made sure I was doing alright throughout the procedure and asked if there was anything that I needed to be more comfortable. The tooth was really difficult to extract and broke into many pieces; I was given a prescription for pain medicine and Dr. Daniel called me later that evening to make sure I was doing alright and answer any other questions that I had. After I healed from the extraction and bone graft, Dr. Daniel placed a dental implant and did a sinus lift at the same time, again with local anesthetic. That procedure went great and I wasn’t even sore afterward, which was a very pleasant surprise! Now I am completely healed and ready for my regular dentist to have the crown made to put on the implant. It has been a great experience with Dr. Daniel and his very knowledgeable team and I would highly recommend them!

No one is a big fan of having surgery but the Santa Rosa & Rohnert Park Oral Surgery team made this such an easy experience for me! From start to finish Dr. Daniel made me feel comfortable and made sure that I understood exactly what to expect and what to do after surgery. I recovered fast and didn’t have hardly any swelling or pain. Pat and Andrea were so helpful and made me feel at ease even though I was nervous. Overall a great experience!

Clean office, nice staff, but…
My procedure did not go as planned. I went to have my 2 upper wisdom teeth removed. Was still having some pain on the right side when I went to the follow up appt — they brushed it off as being normal. The pain turned to bleeding from both my mouth and nose. Low and behold, it resulted in an opening from where the tooth was into my sinuses.
Surgeon says he’ll patch the hole for free, but the tooth in front of where it was will need to be removed due to bone loss. We schedule appt, big day comes, and he is only able to pull the tooth. Why? Because the hole was larger than he thought. Perhaps x rays can show this?
So we are referred to UCSF — and finally have my consultation appointment almost 9 months after my initial oral surgery! Dr Daniel said the rest of my teeth would be fine and there’s no rush with the hole if it’s no longer causing me pain. well my dentist says ill at least be losing 1 more. And how does he know? X-​RAYS!!!
But then we get a bill from Daniel’s office for anesthesia from when he pulled the tooth to fill the hole. I would not have had the tooth pulled if he wasn’t trying to fill the hole… which he more or less created! And that was the last straw with his office. I know this is like 1 in 1000, but I had to leave a negative review.
Do not be fooled!
