Yang Brian, DDS MD

Have my son’s wisdom teeth removed. their billing system is a bit too aggressive IMO. about $ 300 some dollars balance after insurance and everything was due to us and for whatever reason we didn’t either get the bill or forgot to pay it in time. Ever since about six month after the surgery we have been bombarded by collecting agencies with all kinds of threatening tactics and wording. This is all legal I guess, no complaint there, but the the office is lacking in grace. Given all the doctors available on the Peninsula, I will never use this office for my younger son when he need to get oral surgery for sure.

I came there for my wisdom tooth. Dr. Yang and assistant Ming are really nice to me. They are really concern about you.

Believe the five stars from everyone. I went with Dr. Yang based on his Unilocal reviews for a tooth extraction and bone graft. Dr. Yang and his office are really that good. I have had a lot of dental work done over my lifetime and this was by far the best experience I have ever had in a dental office.
From the initial phone call by my dentist to his office, the entire process was pain free. His staff was extremely efficient and competent, and had everything in place with my insurance from day one before I had even stepped foot in his office, and understood every bit of it. They are also very pleasant and friendly.
Dr. Yang is such a nice person, explains everything so well, and just an all around great oral surgeon. The procedure was quick and painless with local anesthesia. I had to admit that the tooth extraction was less painful than any filling or crown work that I had ever had done anywhere else. I was SO surprised when he called me in the evening to see how I was doing and if I had any questions or concerns.
Dr. Yang and his staff really are the best! Thanks for renewing my faith that there are really great practitioners out there!

I am always nervous going to get anything done on my teeth and Dr. Yang was amazing. I had a tooth extraction and bone graft done today and couldn’t be happier with the procedure. I used local anesthetic only, so I was awake thru the whole process which took less than an hour. He walked me thru every step and made sure I was comfortable. His office is very clean and all the staff are very pleasant, nice and professional. If you are in need of oral surgery this is the place to go.

This is an update.
I still haven’t seen dr. Yang, but I’m rescheduled to see him in a few days.
As noted in my original posting I was turned away from a scheduled appt. (while having an active infection) because the receptionist didn’t have 1 – 2 days notice to verify my very current dental insurance.
Because my family dentist spoke so highly of dr. Yang, when I reported back to her that I’d been turned away she couldn’t believe id been treated so unprofessionally at the time of a direct referral. She had personally called dr yang on my behalf.
I called dr Yang’s office and spoke to his receptionist, Angelica, who turned me away originally. I wanted to confirm my up coming appt. and that she now had enough time to verify my insurance… I certainly don’t want to get screwed out of ANOTHER
appt.
I pressed Angelica about this policy of turning people away if she hasn’t had 1 – 2 days to verify insurance. What about emergency patients?, etc. and then the truth came out!!!
ANGELICA CANCELLED MY APPOINTMENT HERSELF, not Dr. Yang. When I asked why, her reply: «because you didn’t return my phone call about your insurance number»
UNBELIEVABLE! How outrageously arrogant! And horrendously UNPROFESSIONAL.
She cancelled my appt. because I didn’t kiss her backside just right.
But to her credit, Angelica did ask me if I was taking antibiotics for my active infection and were they working. She plays god with patients and practices medicine from the front desk, too. I think that’s called NEGLIGENCE in legal terms.
Dr. Yang and Dr. Lee may or may not be aware of how their patients are being treated but it’s their office and their livelihood so they should take responsibility for the actions of their miserable staff.
I will ask Dr. Yang if he approves of his patients being treated this way when I have my upcoming appointment.
I’ll write again to let everyone know his answer!

I actually had my wisdom tooth extracted by Dr. Yang at his office in San Francisco, in the Inner Richmond, but wanted to make sure to post a review so that everyone all over would know how AWESOME he is!
I needed to have an infected wisdom tooth out emergently, and couldn’t take much time off of work. Dr. Yang’s office was great about scheduling me for both a consultation and extraction in one visit. Everyone was polite, professional, and friendly — answered all of my questions and then some! Likewise with Dr. Yang, who was super fun and relatable, clearly knowledgeable, and even called me this evening to follow up and see how I was doing.
But the best part — the whole thing was absolutely painless and took less than 15 mins max. I mean, even getting simple dental fillings has been a worse experience for me in comparison. Seriously. When I say I didn’t feel a thing (and just had local anesthetic for the procedure, since my tooth wasn’t impacted), I reallllllly mean it. It couldn’t have been an easier procedure. I spent the rest of the day eating ice cream, catching up on work, and hanging out with friends. Really, it was just a great day off with a little trip to Dr. Yang’s office
If you’re looking for a painless, professional, quick, easy extraction, look no further. Dr. Yang is the best!

I was referred to Dr. Yang for my wisdom teeth extraction, so about 95% of my time with him was spent KNOCKED. OUT. But, what I saw of him was awesome. He was a really genuinely person type person. Meaning he was knowledgeable and professional, but also made sure to talk to me like I was a normal person who hadn’t been to dental school. Which I love. My consultation was very thorough, and I left feeling super confident. My actual extraction (today) was quick and painless, and I was home eating soup and ice cream before I knew it. I don’t know if it’s due to Dr. Yang’s expertise, or due to the fact that everyone hypes up wisdom teeth pain so much, but I was up and fending for myself after about an hour, and am in a normal, every-​day headache amount of pain.

Dr. Brian Yang is amazing. And his staff is too! In a nutshell, I’d definitely recommend him. Read more for details (:
Our family doesn’t have any dental insurance so you can only imagine how expensive we have to pay for our dentist, orthodontist, and more. We went to many places, looking for an oral surgeon who would perform my wisdom teeth extraction surgery for a reasonable price, something that we could afford straight out of our pockets. After much looking and asking friends, a good friend of my parents recommended Dr. Yang and said that his prices were pretty reasonable too, so we chose him.
I went in at the end of July to get my 3 wisdom teeth taken out (only had 3 for some odd reason). Didn’t think much of Dr. Yang during the consultation that I went to months earlier, but on the day of my surgery, he was very kind and friendly. I’m the type of person who gets nervous and anxious really easily, yet when I sat in the operation chair and his assistants hooked me up to all these tubes and machines, they all joked around with me. He came in and was very nice– asked me if I had a stack of movies to start watching. His assistants, Dr. Lee, and he started talking about the recently popular movies which took my mind off my upcoming surgery. They were all very welcoming and genuinely kind to me.
My surgery went well, and Dr. Yang sent me on my way. He said that I could call him with any questions that I had. My dad’s the type of person to ask lots of questions, so he definitely took advantage of that. Because I get anxious and worried easily (like I had previously mentioned), my dad or I would always call the office during that first week after I had my wisdom teeth removed to ask questions about how to brush my teeth, how to rinse, how long swelling lasted, what to eat, what to not eat, how to know if I had an infection, etc. The questions were really never-​ending and most of them were answered on the sheet of paper that they gave me before I went in for surgery. Yet each time, the receptionist was very nice and answered each question patiently without a tone of impatience or frustration in her voice. If I were her, I’d probably be pretty annoyed.
I went in a week later for my post-​op appointment. Dr. Yang greeted me and asked me how I was doing. He taught me how to use the syringe and welcomed any and all questions. He also said that we could feel free to call the office with any questions we had, and wished us well on our way.
As you can see, it’s been about 3 weeks since I’ve had my wisdom teeth removed. I can eat normally, and I don’t have an infection. I think that my holes are almost closed too although I can’t really see them since they’re all the way in the back of my mouth. But so far, healing has been swift and smooth (after that first week of course).
I would definitely recommend Dr. Yang. You will not regret it!

A few months ago, my daughter had to have all four wisdom teeth removed. The first one was extracted by the local dentist who assured me he could do it, no problem. But it did not go well at all. My daughter was in pain the whole time (over two hours) and swore she would never go back there.
Her three remaining wisdom teeth were extracted by Dr. Yang. It took him 45 minutes (to do three!), absolutely no pain was involved during the surgery and even post-​surgery was minimally painful for her. Thanks Dr. Yang!

At my age wisdom teeth surgery is very rare and carrying the motto «It it ain’t broke, why fix it?!» well… I had to get my wisdom teeth removed. I had 2 impacted teeth and one that had to be pulled. I am sooooo thankful for Dr. Lee and Dr. Yang. Dr. Lee was very up front, to the point and sincere in her delivery of what she felt was the best for my overall health and well being. My consultation lasted an hour and a half, probably not normal however Dr. Lee has the most outstanding bedside manner. She spent time explaining every detail of my procedure, including before and after care. I went in the following week for the procedure which went smoothly, however the healing process was a little longer than expected. I contacted their office on a couple of occasions while home recovering do to questions regarding pain and aftercare and was always answered promptly and sympatheticaly by the staff and the doctors. My follow-​up was with Dr. Yang and he to was awesome. These two seem to care deeply about their patients and were always available with answers to my concerns. I highly recommend this office for any type of oral surgery that is required.
