Sloan M McDonald, DDS

One of the nicest and most competent dentist I’ve experienced. Needed a tooth yanked and was a bit nervous. Dr. McDonald explained everything in detail and the day of the surgery was pain and stress free. I could not tell when she actually removed the tooth, in fact I had to ask her if it was out. They give you the option to keep it if you want to make a necklace or something. They put you in a wheelchair and wheel you to your car afterwards just like you are royalty. Actually it’s because they are making sure you are not driving afterwards which is their requirement which is silly as its dental work with local anesthetic, not open heart surgery. They really are very nice here and the whole experience was pleasant.

I saw Dr. McDonald at this office… I LOVED HER! She was very friendly, professional and informative. I had 2 impacted teeth removed as well as two baby teeth and 2 of my bottom teeth in order to get my teeth ready for braces. Dr. McDonald did an excellent job on my surgery and was even available over the weekend when I had some questions about my healing.
The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because if their billing. Since they were not contracted with Guardian, I had to pay up front and then they would send all the necessary paperwork to Guardian in order for me to be reimbursed. I was reimbursed within 2 – 3 weeks after my surgery.
If they are not contracted with your insurance and you do not have the money to pay for their services up front, then you should probably go elsewhere. However, if you have the money, definitely go here and ask to see Dr. McDonald!

Dr. Delosa was great. Big problem is the billing. They made me pay up front $ 900 for my sons wisdom teeth removal. Turns out medical and dental payed, therefore patient responsibility is $ 0. This surgery was done 21dec12 and as of today 30may12 I have not been reimbursed. Please check your plan out before you go, bring documentation because once you pay you will not be refunded!

I have 2 son’s that had 2 different Oral Surgeries at this office 8 months apart– 1 an impacted tooth, and the other was 4 wisdom teeth removal.
The surgeries themselves were done with care and detailed explanation to the parents. I felt safe in such a clean and well run office.
This office requires payment up front and will assist you in getting your money back from insurance. The first surgery I received all my money back from both of my providers within 5 weeks. The second was not so good– I found out that this office charged an abundance for certain things– thus the providers were capped at a certain dollar amount passing the excess cost on to me. So I only received back 65% of what I expected to get back.
I had a friend who’s teenager also had their wisdom teeth pulled the same week as my son at an oral surgeon in Walnut Creek, had only 1 insurance and paid Much less than I did.
Not sure I will return for my other 3 children to be treated here.

Dr. McDonald has been my oral surgeon for a few years now, and after 5 implants and my wisdom teeth pulled I still love her! She did my husbands wisdom teeth, and implants on both my grandmas. She did what she could with the cost of anethesia and really helped to meet our needs on prices. Shes very profesional and down to earth. She understands the needs of her patients and helps meet them. She has been more than wonderul over the years! And her staff is just as amazing. They get to know you and even remember your name when you first walk in, always greeting you with a smile, knowing walking into an oral surgeons office can be scary.

Dr. McDonald was truly amazing! I was nervous about getting my wisdom teeth removed but she explained everything to me on detail and made me feel at ease. The procedure could not have went better. I was given medication to help me relax before and then completely sedated. I barely felt the IV being put in. Next thing I knew it was over and I was being put into a wheelchair to go home. Later that evening Dr. McDonald called me herself to see how I was doing. I couldn’t have asked for a better oral surgeon!

This is a very professional oral surgeon. She has removed 4 family member’s wisdom teeth and it was great service. She explains it well in detail to prepare you and gives you medication to relax you even before you come in. She even calls to see how you are doing at home to make sure everything is okay.
I am impressed-​as someone who works in healthcare and with doctors all the time I know when I meet someone good and she is definitely the kind you want working on your teeth! She will make you feel comfortable as she is caring but you also want someone who is a perfectionist in her expertise when it comes to something like oral surgery!
Her partner Dr. Delosos also got good reviews here I noticed-​so a good group! Peaceful and calming office atmosphere as well and professional, attentive staff. I was also thinking this must be a great place to work as well as there are pictures all over of their trips, cruises together including all the staff members, etc-​must be fun!
