Dr. Kenneth Goldberg - Santa Maria, California

Jason S.

Dr. Goldberg and his staff have been very helpful and supportive throughout my first implant surgery. I’ve been a little apprehensive about the whole thing because I was nervous about having the procedure done but Dr. Goldberg is extremely knowledgeable and he has made me feel comfortable throughout this process. He’s very careful he’s very kind. He takes the time to answer any questions you have and he has really nice bedside manners. My implant is in and it’s currently healing and everything‘s going great there’s been no issues with the surgery or healing process.

There were a couple hiccups before the surgery with his staff, specifically with the treatment plan, the wrong insurance rate was used and I was told a couple days before the surgery. It would be $400 more than what was originally quoted. I will update this review if this is not handled properly, but as of now, everything has been great and I’m really thankful for having such an amazing oral surgeon on the Central Coast.

He has two offices one in the Arroyo Grande and one in Santa Maria. I went to the Santa Maria office and although it is an older office, his office space is very clean and updated and freshly painted, etc.

I had 4 wisdom teeth taken out by Dr. Goldberg a few months ago and sitting here realizing how well the extraction sites have healed reminded me I never review!
Dr. Goldberg was very thorough in his explanation about the surgery, the risks and the procedure. He was also the only oral surgeon that was able to fit a consultation in a reasonable time from calling.

Took my daughter to have wisdom teeth removed. I was told they were going to do a panoramic x-ray. I was later billed for a CT scan. When I called, they said they only have a CT scan. I would NEVER have allowed a scan because of the increased radiation. Also, it is not covered by the insurance since it was not medically necessary. I would have got the panoramic Xray from our family dentist and provided it to Dr. Goldberg if I had known in advance. Bottom line, 1. My daughter was unnecessarily exposed to extra radiation and 2. I had to pay out of pocket for an unnecessary CT scan.

That was not the only problem. We needed a pre-determination from my insurance. After a few weeks, I checked and the insurance had no received the request for pre determination. I called the insurance biller at De. Goldberg’s office and she said that nobody told her we needed a predetermination. My insurance did not receive the predetermination request until two months after our consultation appointment. It has now been two and a half months and my daughter is still in pain. If my other children need their wisdom teeth out, I plan to fins a competent office to do the job.

I do not recommend Dr. Goldberg and Dr. Pitrowski because there staff is not competent.

I highly recommend Dr. Goldberg! I recently had dental surgery for an implant and he and his entire staff were caring and supportive throughout the whole process. From the consultation through the surgery, they thoroughly explained the process and everyone made an effort to make me feel comfortable. Everything was seamless. Dr. Goldberg even took the time to call me the evening of my surgery to check that I was doing OK.

First of all let me start out by saying I am absolutely terrified of the dentist so much so I've ignored problems with my teeth for yrs eventually I had one molar get infected had to come out , I was of coarse freaking out . Nobody likes to go to the dentist but mine is much more of a phobia then just a dislike or small fear so I came home went online to see if there were any dentists that deal with people like me I was glad to find out I am not alone on this and found a dentist office that listed dental anxiety as part of their services it was called Palm Dental the dentist told me I needed it removed so I asked to be put to sleep he said he didn't do general anesthesia at that office and referred me to Dr. Goldberg . I absolutely loved my experience with Dr. Goldberg ! I am so great full to him as a oral surgeon and very caring doctor/ dentist and his staff for being professional and making me feel so comfortable. The procedure went great no pain after and the doctor himself actually called me personally the next night to make sure things were all good ! I can t say thank you enough now I will go back to get rest of work done on my teeth ! You are so the bomb Dr. Goldberg and staff ! Keep up great work ! Patients like me truly appreciate you !

I actually went to see Dr Goldberg at the Arroyo Grande office (and will post a copy of this review for that location as well) and I cannot say enough good things about him. I had to get a fractured tooth extracted and his professionalism, patience, attention, and caring are out of this world.

Mouth surgery can be a little daunting. Removing a tooth is normally a simple task but it is still a surgical procedure but Dr. Goldberg makes it such a smooth experience. He explained everything he was doing, he was gentle when giving the anesthetic, and he took care of business.

He also went way above and beyond and gave a personal phone call later that evening to check on how I was doing and to see if I had any concerns.

Please, if you need any sort of oral surgery go see this amazing human being. Him and his staff will take great care of you.

I went to Dr. Goldberg based on the recommendation of my dentist for a tooth removal and post install.

He walked me through the procedure he would be performing and was very happy to answer my questions.

In the early afternoon a member of his staff called me to see how I was doing. In my experiance receiving a call from the medical field is unusual, but later in the evening, Dr. Goldberg himself called to check on me. He gave me his text number in case I need something while recovering. This was amazing to me that he would take time to follow up on a patient who had a relatively minor procedure.

I would highly recommend Dr. Goldberg!

Dr. Goldberg is top notch! I had a very difficult dental situation and finding a quality oral surgeon was key to a positive outcome. Anyone who lives close enough to have Dr. Goldberg as their surgeon is LUCKY. Ivy league educated and a master of his craft. He called me personally the day after surgery to make sure everything was okay and a very complicated procedure went smoothly, with no pain. We have since moved from California, but I have had no problems at all and every dentist who sees his work says it is top notch. Go to Dr. Goldberg! He is the best.
