Kyle Van Brocklin, DMD Ms

I have been coming here for the past year and a half for a front tooth extraction and implant. I have been nothing but pleased with this office, I always feel welcomed and cared about here. Dr. Van Brocklin is gentle and moves at a pace that you can handle, he will take his time answering any and all questions you have with complete honesty and you never feel rushed even though he’s a very busy man. You can tell he truly cares for others and wants to do nothing but a great job. He cares about his job and loves what he does, it shows! I would recommend this office to anyone! If I could give them more then 5 stars I would!

Excellent service… from the front desk receptionist /​manager (Roxanne) to the back office dental assistants. Everyone is personable and adds to the overall relaxed and calm atmosphere. Trust me… this is what you want when you are seeing an oral surgeon. Dr Van Brocklin himself is not only very nice, but presents himself in a calm confident manner, so your first inclination is to trust him. You won’t be disappointed! Dr. Van Brocklin and his assistant made me feel calm and as comfortable as possible. He did my implants and they were painless. He is very competent and takes his time to explain the procedure. I highly recommend this office.

Best dr and best staff! Clean, friendly, and understanding. The best oral surgeon! Both my husband and I are having implants. This is the 3^rd oral surgeon my husband has gone to and is amazing. So when it came up that I needed to see an oral surgeon for possible implant I decided to try him out. Now I know why my husband drives all the way here! We have to drive a ways but it is sooo worth it! Highly recommend this doctor and staff!

I was referred her by my dentist and my first appointment took forever to be seen. There were about 10 kids waiting to be seen that day. Every parent waiting «was in a hurry and couldn’t wait» so I got pushed back over and over waiting over a hour after my scheduled appointment before I was seen. I also have children but they were being watched by a friend. Of course, I didn’t complain about waiting so long, but these parents thought they were extra special and got slid in before my appointment. I then waited again in the room another for 15 minutes before they took a pano X-​ray. I then waited again before I saw Dr. Brocklin. Some guy came in and chatted him up about his son, so I patiently waited for them to finish speaking.
Once Dr. Brocklin came in, he was so nice. He was very laid back and wasn’t making me uncomfortable due to my lack of oral care over the years. He was positive and said I would be good as new within a year.
Today I had to get 3 teeth and a wisdom tooth removed. Once that heals I have to get implants. Not fun and as scared as I am of dentists, I felt as though I was in good hands.
I left and had my teeth removed today. Everyone was very positive and made me feel comfortable. The procedure went smooth and I didn’t feel anything. I was scared not going under would make me feel everything but I was actually just fine.
They do take Credit Care but they only allows the 6 month plan that is offered. Not sure how that plan would work once I get implants?
Overall, I recommend Dr. Brocklin for any surgical procedure. He was very efficient, kind and let me know what he was doing throughout the procedure.

Wow. I found a few of the reviews to be the furthest from the truth. Dr. Van Brocklin and staff are great! I had two implants placed 3 months ago. At that time the procedure was thoroughly explained to me from start to finish and the staff took the time to explain my insurance benefits to me. Dr. Van Brocklin said that my case would be straight forward and he was right. He even called me the night of the procedure to see how I was doing. Recently when I was in his office for a post operative visit, I saw an info-​video in his waiting room that showed procedures that he offers patients. While a few of the other reviews seem to find the information videos offensive, I found it to be informative. I asked Dr. Van Brocklin about the Ultherapy procedure and he reviewed with me in detailed. It is very apparent that he loves what he does, as he is very excited about talking about new modes of cosmetic treatment for patients. I had the Ultherapy procedure 2 weeks ago. It was truly an easy, but long procedure, Afterward I felt fantastic and although it is suppose to take months before the best results are seen, I have already noticed the decrease in loose tissue under my chin and jaw line. Again Dr. Van Brocklin called me to see how I was doing the night of the procedure. Contrary to what a few disgruntled people seem to feel I find Dr. Van Brocklin to be informative, caring, and very thorough. He and his staff are excellent.

Dr. Kyle Van Brocklin at this «Canyon Lakes» facility did bone grafts and implants on me. Super pleased with Dr. Kyle’s bone graft work without significant discomfort, quick recovery and excellent results. The facility is near a health club and other recreational facilities — all the staff are friendly, helpful, through and efficient. Very pleased with the healing from the bone grafts in just a few weeks and have been able to enjoy eating very soon after surgery. After the inplants got a temporary partial at Dr Michael Kriston’s office in Danville after the drilling for over an hour by Dr Kyle — just a few hrs for both. Love Dr Kyle’s efficient procedures, the results and the very pleasant office support staff.

Wife had bone grafts and dental implants with Dr Kyle Van Brocklin at the Canyon Lakes facility — wrote a review for there before finding this Unilocal listing. We are definitely super pleased with Kyle’s work, fast recovery and results. In addition, the facility is in a nice location and all the staff are more than friendly, helpful, through and efficient. Dr. was as pleased as we were with the healing from the implants just two weeks ago and we went and enjoyed lunch.
Went to get a temporary partial at Dr Michael Kriston’s office in Danville when we left the Dr Kyle’s office two weeks ago, and then we went for a late lunch where my wife enjoyed her soup — how that’s unbelievable after her having the bones in your mouth drilled on for like 90 minutes by Dr Kyle and then partials installed by Dr Mike in just a few hrs!!!
Drove 6 hrs in a morning on the California coast before one of my wife’s follow up office visits — seeing the doctor and his staff was again super. My wife was feeling so good that she offered me the reclining chair in the examination room (I did all the driving).
Great Dr, Great Staff and Great Office Facility !!!

Very pricey, but when I was referred here for an emergency procedure for an infected wisdom tooth/​face (fun, fun times), the priciness ultimately bought relief. Relief from pain, obviously, and also from anxiety about a procedure from hell. I’m pretty good with tooth nonsense, despite a horrible first wisdom tooth experience as a kid. But this time, I needed to be drained and have two wisdom teeth out – and it really was as painless as possible. His bedside manner’s good and he does «comfort» well, there was good follow-​up, and he brought me back into the safe zone without any additional pain or trauma. Despite the cost, I’d choose Dr. VB again, knowing I’d be in good hands.
Edited to add 3÷28÷14: Unfortunately, requested a little info from my file a couple weeks back and never heard back. Had spoken with the woman at the front desk who said she’d locate the file and get back to me. Not really relevant to Dr. Van Brocklin’s service, so leaving rating the same but dude, please just follow up with patient customer service.

If you have to have a tooth pulled …

I recently learned that it was impossible to save my tooth from hell (neither a crown nor a root canal fixed the pain — the tooth was cracked all the way down). So, not being willing to stand in for Granny Clampett just yet, I decided to get an implant and got a recommendation and visited Dr. Van Brocklin. He seemed very nice and certainly came across as competent.
However, the office experience set a rather different tone. When they explained the multi-​thousand dollar charges for getting the tooth replaced (extraction, implant, bionic tooth) they emphasized over and over again that if I didn’t show up, I was going to be charged. Dentists have to pay their bills too and I’m sure they get some no-​shows, but I never miss appointments, and I felt uneasy at the staff’s insistent assumption from the get-​go that I would flake on them. This is also not the first dental office where I’ve sensed there is pressure to bill and drill for dollars, lurking just under the office’s pleasant demeanor. But it was a little over the top.
Cosmetic treatments must be very lucrative, because the office did everything possible to market them to the captive waiting room audience. When I was in the waiting room, I was subjected to a loud and endless video loop on a big flat TV screen pushing botox and other cosmetic treatments. It was presented in such a way as to inflame any female listener’s lurking anxieties about not looking twenty-​two any longer.
First I asked the receptionist why on earth an oral surgeon’s office was advertising botox. She said that they also offered all these cosmetic treatments. Then I asked her if she could please turn it off. I explained that I was there for some serious dental surgery that I’d never experienced before, I was sort of freaked out anyway, and it was really unsettling be bombarded with an endless video loop designed to make me anxious about getting old. Particularly since I was stuck there in the waiting room until the doctor would see me, and was already in a vulnerable position, feeling pretty anxious about the tooth from hell.
She acted rather offended, and said it didn’t bother her, she didn’t even notice it. While she turned it off, the moment I went into the back, she turned it back on, and later when I had to settle the bill, it was blaring at me all over again.
I mean, what?! I had a serious problem, but as soon as I hit the door, I got the hard sell for other services. Get it now! Botox! Facial laser resurfacing! Chin and cheek augmentation! Lip augmentation a la Angelina Jolie. Buy now so your husband won’t trade you in for a younger model. And oh yeah, right, we also do *oral surgery,* like on teeth and things. I could understand if the office was advertising cosmetic dental procedures, like teeth capping, straightening, and whitening, but botox?
It really shook my confidence in this oral surgery practice. So complicated and challenging oral surgery doesn’t pay enough? Getting an implant is many thousands of dollars. I ended up seeing a different doctor, and when I called to cancel my appointment, I made sure I wrote down the receptionist’s name, and the time and date I called, so they would not later assert that I had missed the appointment.

Amazing doctor! All of the staff are amazing and I had an excellent outcome! I highly recommend this office!

Dr. Van Brocklin and his entire staff are the BEST! I had to have 2 teeth pulled that required me to be put out and I was scared to death as I’d never been under anesthesia before in my life. Dr. Van Brocklin was fantastic at easing my fears by thoroughly explaining everything about the process to me prior to beginning.
His assistant Nicole was also great at keeping me calm and comfortable. The entire procedure went off without a hitch… and the best part? Absolutely no pain at all!
I was so pleased with the service I received at Dr. Van Brocklin’s office that I referred my daughter there to have all 4 of her wisdom teeth pulled and she received the same excellent and caring service!
I would give them 10-​STARS if I could!
Not that I’m in a hurry to ever return to have more oral surgery done, but if I ever do need some done, I won’t go anywhere else!

Dr. Van Brocklin is without a doubt the BEST oral surgeon EVER! He extracted one of my teeth and put in two implants and I did not have any pain whatsoever, after the procedure! You want to talk painless? Talk Dr. Van Brocklin!

I hate dentists, but a maxofacial surgeon? A curse be upon him.
Dr. Van Brocklin, what did he do?
He yanked out two of my teeth.
He jabbed me in my gums with a super long needle.
He drilled into my jaw (with three different sized bits)
He screwed in some implants (with something like a spark plug wrench).
And you know what? I didn’t feel a thing. He made me like it. He is awesome. A very bright guy. 5 Stars for you my friend. May you live long enough to jab many others with your long needle.
