The wait time to be seen for a consultation even with an appointment is a bit outrages. I had an appointment around 3 and waited roughly a hour 1/2 to be seen. Everything else about surgery and post op has been great!

Got recommended to Dr. Thigpen and West Coast Surgery. I was very satisfied with the service starting with the professionalism all of the staff. Starting from the front office who were very pleasant and dedicated to my case and managed my busy schedule accordingly and ending with the assistants and with Dr. Thigpen himself. Dr. Thigpen explained in detail the upcoming procedure. He was patient with my questions and mindful of my nervousness. This shows his incredible human and professional skills. I truly recommend him and his staff, and if needed in the future would not hesitate to return to his practice. Thank you Dr. Thigpen and West Coast Surgery

I had very minimal pain after my Wisdom teeth removal, and little to no swelling after the first day. Dr. Thigpen and his staff are amazing.

Everyone is helpful, caring and most importantly competent! Thanks for a good experience with a not do fun procedure!

Excellent service!! Friendly staff

Did a great job making the whole process simple for me

From my consultation appointment I felt completely comfortable and welcome by all of the staff. Before, during, and after the appointment they answered all of my questions and concerns. All of the office staff is friendly and helpful. I wish they did regular dentistry because I don't really want to go anywhere else.

All good, except after care instruction s. need it oin writing.

Really terrific.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, had to wait a bit longer than I’d hoped though

The process was explained well before, during and after the procedure. I'm very impressed with the care, education and professionalism demonstrated by the clinical staff and the oral surgeon. I will highly recommend them for any critical dental procedure.

Dr. Is great. Communicated well. Competent. My only complaint is the receptionist was obviously sick, coughing a lot. Not the best greeting to have.

This was my second experience with this Office. Would definitely recommend to anyone. What doctor says you were an amazing patient. Mine did. Carol Schwager

The West Coast Center for Jaw Surgery provides excellent service. Upon scheduling a consultation, one receives thorough instructions on how to prepare for the consultation. For example, a patient is recommended to watch informative videos related to his or her procedure prior to the consultation. While you are in the office, you feel valued and cared for. Dr. Thigpen and his staff do a great job explaining all of your treatment options and addressing all questions and concerns. This allows patients to know what to expect and provide piece of mind. Dr. Thigpen and his staff will do their best to make you comfortable and keep you calm before your procedure. The office regularly makes phone calls to remind you of your appointments. Also, the West Coast Center for Jaw Surgery sends patients letters in the mail to thank them for visiting, and it sends get well cards after a procedure.

Thank you for taking such good care of me

I was seen early and given a prescription for an oral rinse to help my mouth heal. My questions were answered and I was scheduled for a follow up for the next week.

The office of Dr. Thigpen and his staff are simply one of the most competent and friendly dental service offices I have experienced. I have required significant dental work during my life so I speak from experience. His staff executes their duties with friendly professionalism from scheduling to “handholding” after surgery to ensure patients understand the post-op instructions and prescriptions they will require. I appreciated especially, Dr. Thigpen taking me through my situation, prognosis and treatment options using the latest software. I always felt comfortable with the treatment plan we selected together and prices were both fair and consistent with norms for this area of the country. I can also add that the results of my treatment plans have been excellent and I will only go to Dr. Thigpen for follow-up exams and additional surgery services should I require them.

Absolutely wonderful experience! I was frightened and in pain when I first went to see Dr. Thigpen. He and his staff were just terrific! From beginning to end, from reception to aftercare; they were professional and reassuring. The surgery itself was top-notch and I am pain free and symptom free now. Couldn’t be more pleased with the service provided by West Coast Center for Jaw Surgery. Thank you.

I had an excellent experience, all the members at the office are really nice and helpful. Had my wisdom teeth removed and the surgery was excellent, fast and comfortable. They all do their best to make you feel comfortable and good. I would highly recommend to visit them. 🙂

Thank you for an awesome dental experience! As I have gotten older the thought of having my teeth worked on makes me anxious, fearful and panicky. Probably a hormone thing! But all of you made me feel so at ease that I put my fears aside. You all are truly amazing and I will tell my friends. I will never go anywhere else. Thanks again!

The staff was great and the Dr is wonderful! He is very compassionate and understanding. Thank you for a great experience.

Explain the procedure thoroughly!

My Doctor is wonderful as well as nursing staff and office staff. I highly recommend this office to any friends and family. All are very professional and they take care of me during my procedure and to make sure of my comfort level. Thank you for taking care of me.

Medical and dental procedures are challenging to get the desired outcome. This is a professional artisan at his craft and there to help get to the desired goal. I am happy to have these services from this specialist.

You pulled a cracked tooth and placed a bone graft for a future implant.

Excellent! I was seen promptly & felt well cared for! My stitches from a bone graft were carefully removed today. I’ll return in a month & I anxiously await the good news that there is strong bone integration, moving me closer to a successful implant! THANKS!

There is wonderful service and care given with each treatment. Thank you for your skills to help others.

Extremely professional, kind staff and well maintained office. Dr. Thigpen has great bedside manner.

Everyone provided outstanding customer service! I will definitely recommend to others.

Great staff, surgery went great, always available and always checking up on you. Keep up the great work, will send anyone who needs wisdom teeth surgery your way

Very nice staff, clean office and nice environment. Physician is very thorough on procedures and give explanation of what to expect during recovery process.

Everyone in the office was amazing. The doctor answered all of my questions if I ever need another wisdom tooth removed I’m going back to this place.

Dr. Thigpen & his staff offered me not only excellent professional care, but they also took the time necessary to fully explain all procedures. In addition... the welcoming & empathetic atmosphere a patient receives there is an intangible that should be imitated elsewhere! Thank you for everything!

Very professional, the staff was great and friendly and my overall experience went well

The doctor and staff are wonderful at West coast center for jaw surgery. My family has had several surgery with great success.

Highly recommended! Our experience with Dr. Thigpen and his staff was wonderful - they treated my daughter with the utmost care and concern. He took his time explaining everything that he would do, and his staff made us feel comfortable. I would gladly recommend the West Coast Center for Jaw Surgery and Dr. Thigpen to anyone needing his services.

Very professional setting. Everyone we encountered was froendly and knowlegable. Dr. Thigpen knew just how to talk to my teen and explain the process of removing his wisdom teeth and the proper aftercare needed. Everything went as discussed in initial appt. Very happy.

Great staff

Would not hesitate to recommend this office. My son had all his wisdom teeth removed recently and they did a first class job in every aspect of the procedure, scheduling, submitting insurance claims, and aftercare. They were also very caring and upbeat in attitude that made the whole experience much easier than expected. Thank you!

Office was clean. Employees were friendly. Surgery went well.

What a wonderful group of people! Made the experience smooth and painless as possible! Went the extra mile to assist and even helped me with a family concern. The day of surgery, my oldest son had to take his younger brother in. I had to work. They called and assured me all was fine after the surgery. Thanks!!

Awesome service!!! Very attentive! They were able to answer all my questions and took the time to explain everything. Would highly recommend them.

Friendly staff. Dr. Thigpen always explained the processes and is confident in his job. The office was available most hours. Would recommend!

Very professional office staff. Dr. Thigpen makes sure you are well informed and comfortable during the entire procedure.

Quick and efficient work. Minimal discomfort, Dr. takes time to answer questions.

The West Coast Center for Jaw Surgery was recommended by Dr. Diez office on Gunn Hwy. I called to thank them for this. I was nervous to start with, however Valarie was assuring and confident in the practice and Ashlee assisted Dr.Thigpen, a calming and gracious chair-side manner. I was a bit of a challenge to get prepped but Dr. Thigpen did't miss a beat. As the procedure took less time than the prep. I have some challenges in my future and at TWCCJS I was met with professionalism and a genuine care. I will recommend WCCJS to any and all. Plainly spoken; Thank you for doing what you do, and doing it very well ! My humble Regards, Kevin.
