Nima Massoomi, DMD, MD

Dr. Massoomi removed my wisdom teeth and totally made me feel at ease during the procedure and after. Never did I feel any pain at any point in time during the procedure. He also explained really well my current situation on the x-​ray satisfying any intellectually curious questions we may have to the fullest extent possible. He was also really nice and prompt in following up on the recovery process. His detailed directions for medications after were a great tool in helping with the recovery process. He is calm, collected and detail oriented which helps bringing down any anxiety you may have. about any of this.

Dr Massomi is the best. he is so patient, knowledgeable, his office in San Francisco is equipped perfectly and he has been my surgeon for almost 2 years and he did my implant and I can not describe my excitement after coming out from his office. I have been visiting dentist for my whole life because I do not have good teeth so I need to check often. Dr Massomi did a great job, no pain, No swelling nothing after one-​hour implant process on my sensitive teeth. I can not believe it. He is awesome.
GO to his office and you will see.

Dr. Massoomi is a wonderful doctor! He has taken out my daughter and my son’s wisdom teeth and he was patient, thorough, and very friendly. Both my kids were comfortable before and after the procedure as well as through recovery. I would strongly recommend Dr. Massoomi to anyone looking to get any type of dental surgery. A++++

I am usually pretty good at taking care of my teeth. I had three of my wisdom teeth extracted, except for the lower right one, for which I was previously advised by a different maxillofacial surgeon to leave in unless it causes further complication due to its proximity to nerve, difficulty to extract, and high-​risk complications that may require hospital stays and 1-​month recovery time. Secretly wished that this last wisdom tooth would never cause any problems and I would never have to deal with the potential permanent nerve damage. A few years went by and everything seemed to be fine… however…
I recently switched to a new dentist and during my last check-​up, it was obvious that this last wisdom tooth decided to separate my gum from the 2^nd molar, creating a trap for food debris and bacteria. The dentist advised me to have this wisdom tooth taken out, and reassured me that Dr. Massoomi is highly skilled and has state-​of-​the art technologies needed for a successful operation.
Therefore, I went in to see Dr. Massoomi. Dr. Massoomi was really accommodating with my busy schedule. He was caring and provided a thorough analysis on what needed to be done to minimize any complications there may be. I scheduled to have the extraction done a few days after the consultation.
The whole operation went really well. The staff was really caring, the tooth was taken out successfully, and I could still feel my chin (no neve damage! yay!)! I had minimal pain and swelling post-​operation people could hardly tell I had a complicated wisdom tooth extraction. What could you ask for more? Dr. Massoomi was easy to reach after-​hours, and he followed-​up on weekends to see how I was doing. I really think Dr. Massoomi did a terrific job, and I am recommending him to all my friends and family.

I came in to remove all four of my wisdom teeth, which was long overdue as my dentist had been insisting on it for over a year. Dr. Massoomi was very friendly and patient while giving me the run down on the surgery. I had a smooth experience here under his care and I highly recommend him if you’re looking for a maxillofacial surgeon.

Dr. Nima Massoomi is the kind of doctor all should strive to be: exceptionally skilled, knowledgable, confident, compassionate, and conscientious. My uncle was a patient of his a few years ago, getting his wisdom teeth removed at age 68! Usually people never want to talk about teeth, especially if it involves getting them yanked out. However, years later, my uncle still praises Dr. Massoomi for doing outstanding work, which is how I first heard of him. My uncle definitely called it! Dr. Massoomi is both caring and communicative. His incredibly extensive knowledge base, teaching background (which showcases his love for learning), patience, sensitivity, and thoroughness in explaining everything are some of the many reasons why he is the surgeon I would recommend to all my friends, colleagues, and my own family — because he takes care of his patients like family, going above and beyond to make sure you’re taken care of to the best of his ability. I also really appreciate his accommodating and friendly staff.

Wow, wish all doctors could be like Dr. Massoomi. Fantastic experience from start to finish, and I was very nervous. He took such incredible care of me during and after the procedure. His whole team are professional and kind. Never thought I’d say that I was happy about the experience I had having a wisdom tooth removed!

After hearing all the horror stories from friends n family, I was so apprehensive to extract all of my 4 wisdom teeth at one go, at the age of 37. But today I am glad I did! It’s just been the 4^th day from the day of my surgery and all I’d like to say is I can just swear by the surgeon — Dr. Nima Massoomi! Thanks to him, I am now one HAPPY soul, smiling… with 4 less teeth!!! :)
Dr, Massoomi did a MIRACULOUS JOB with this surgery of mine! During my initial visit to discuss the procedure, Dr. Massoomi patiently and clearly explained every step and logic of the entire surgical process to me & my husband.
On the day of surgery, I was put on sedation and was completely knocked out within a minute or two. I did not even realize the surgery was over till the time the doctor’s assistant patted me on my shoulder and said «Alright! You are done!». And I, with my startled eyes half open, was like «Really???»… «Are you sure?»
Dr. Massoomi and his excellent Staff took very good care of me, before, during, and post surgery. Along with the home-​care kit, I was also given a soft headband that held the 2 ice packs against my cheeks. If I remember her name correctly, his assistant Vu — held me by my arms and escorted me to the parking lot, made me seat in the car, buckled my seat belts and waited till my husband & I drove off.
I have NO pain (I repeat, NO PAIN!) in those 4 areas, right from the very 1^st day of surgery. The only pain is in the 2 small areas in the inner cheek where I presume the L.A. was administered, after I was knocked out by the I V. The swelling is minimal as I probably had held on to the ice packs for my dear life since the moment I had stepped out of Dr. Massoomi’s office 4 days back. I have had medication every 3 hrs, as advised by him and rinsed my mouth with Chlorhexidine Oral Rinse every time I have taken food /​drink.
Thank You, Dr. Nima Massoomi — The Very Best Dental Surgeon in town, for sure!!!

I went to this guy for my wisdom tooth surgery and it was great. The nurses that prep you are super nice, and so are the women that work at the counter. They have wifi too– you just have to ask.
The people that work at the front desk sometimes just talk about the weirdest things quite loudly, and most would find it awkward, but it’s easy to over look.
Any who! Yes, I got all four of my wisdom teeth taken out and the whole after-​care process went absolutely fine. I didn’t have to use syringes or any other tools. I just had to religiously take my medications and BAM I was dandy again.
I also like them because they don’t just give you vicodin and antibacterial medications. During the free consultation, they ask about painkillers that you usually take and personal habits and how well medication works on you so in the end they may not have to give you that strong crap that just KOs you for the day.
I also got this headband thing that held icepacks (he gives you those too) against my cheeks. WIN!
Doctor Nima himself was super duper nice (:
The operation was painless, save for the damn IV needle… god I hate needles.
But seriously, after that you can’t feel a thing — it’s great!
I highly recommend this place. They don’t do a ghetto job, quite the contrary, actually.

Dr. Massoomi was EXCELLENT! I’m almost 50 years old and I needed to have all 4 of my impacted wisdom teeth removed. It was not an easy surgery. Dr. Massoomi and his staff took excellent care of me before, during, and post surgery. He always made himself available to answer any questions when I called & he followed up several times in the days after the surgery. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Massoomi has impeccable bedside manners. During our initial visit to discuss the procedure ordered by my son’s orthodontist, Dr. Massoomi patiently and clearly explained every step and logic of the entire surgical process. We never felt rushed, we were treated with the highest level of service and his San Francisco workplace makes you feel that you’re in a spa instead of a dental office. Not only was the building built as an environmentally sound structure that’s as «green» as the most structurally advanced and eco-​friendly buildings in the country, it is so tastefully decorated.
Most importantly, his professional credentials are solid and notable. Dr. Massoomi comes highly recommended by my son’s general dentist and after meeting him, I have no doubt that we found just the perfect oral surgeon for my 13-​year old son.
By the way, my son thoroughly enjoyed helping himself at the beverage bar. What a great way to make the patients feel relaxed and welcomed.

Dr. Massoomi removed 4 of my wisdom teeth yesterday and wow did he do a great job. He is a professional and kind caring man who really put me at ease.
I had planned on only getting 2 out due to finances but he explained the entire procedure and why it would be beneficial for me to get all 4 teeth removed. I told him I would like to have all 4 removed but I am having financial troubles and he said «no problem, we will make this work, I understand times are hard for everyone and id rather have this done right. We will work with you.»
Before the procedure he explained everything that would happen before, during, and after the procedure. He called about 2 hours after the procedure was finished to check in on me and make sure I felt ok and was healing well. He made sure I was taking the prescribed medicine and that I was comfortable.
Overall he did an absolutly fantastic job every step of the way. I am healing well and I fell little to no discomfort. I’m on my way to a speedy recovery and I am looking forward to my 1 week checkup.

Today is 5 August 2011, exactly one year after my sliding osteotomy genioplasty to correct a lifelong small and significantly receding chin. My surgery was performed by Dr. Nima Massoomi, DMD, MD, of Silicon Valley Surgical Arts and Cupertino’s preeminent maxillofacial surgeon, at El Camino Surgical Center in Mountain View.
Under general anesthesia, the surgery was accomplished in two hours through a lateral internal oral incision at the root of the lower lip. The surgery cut a horseshoe-​shaped section of bone from my receded chin and advanced and anchored it forward 8 millimeters, creating an excellent new chin profile. I iced the chin for 48 hours for swelling and experienced some pain and discomfort, dulled by Oxycodone, but I required very little pain medication. I was on a soft diet for one week. Nine days after my surgery, I felt perfectly well, removed the surgical bandage, attended my nephew’s birthday party, and enjoyed a barbecued hamburger. Except for some residual swelling around the incision that slightly affected my speech, my chin appeared perfectly beautiful in its first public appearance.
One year later, I have fully recovered all sensation around my lower lip and chin and have only a slight sensation of tightness around the chin, doubtless because of some internal scar tissue, but I would never go to back to my ugly, old receding chin, and I could not be more pleased. Now, I am not afraid to be photographed in profile.
The sliding osteotomy genioplasty is the tried and tested traditional method of correcting a receding chin and produces a permanent, strong, and durable jawbone that is far superior to the implant method which can cause internal tearing of tissues, bone resorption, and infection. Also, the internal oral incision is far superior to the scarring of the external incision under the chin. Just be extra careful not to injure your jaw while it is healing. Remember that cosmetic surgery is rarely covered by medical insurance. Be prepared to spend several thousand dollars for the surgical services, plus $ 2,000 for the surgical center, and another $ 1,500 for the anesthesiologist.
Dr. Massoomi’s extensive training and experience, excellent planning and preparation, and extraordinary skill raise surgery to a high art, producing a truly remarkable work of cosmetic artistry and a perfect overall result. My handsome new chin thanks him and I thank him.

I had a very good experience with Dr. Massoomi’s treatment, his staff and his facility. Their staff is very friendly and carying! Their facility is extremely uptodate with latest and greatest technology! And about Dr. experience — like any other patient, I was a little nervous at first to undergo removal of my wisdom teeth. Dr. Massomi explained to me in detail the entire process from start to finish including post operative treatment. The entire surgery process (starting with checking in and discharging) which took less than 2 hours. I am overall very pleased with the treatment, their friendly staff and all the follow-​ups. I would recommend this Dr. to anyone anytime. Good Luck!
