Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Qaqish is amazing . He is genuine. He has performed many oral procedures on me and most recently a complete face lift. My result was perfect! Dr. Q has also operated on my husband & two daughters! He’s is a Perfectionist, which is a lovely benefit being his patient. He is kind and always so considerate.. The absolute BEST! The entire staff at SDSA are all so professional and just great!

Dr. Qaqish removed both my kids' wisdom teeth and did dental implant surgery on me. We all had excellent outcomes. He's professional and cares about his patients. His staff is very nice and really helps put patients at ease. Highly recommend!

Dr.Qaqish is truly a surgical artist. I was referred to him by my dermatologist to correct a procedure that had disfigured my face and required surgery. I was apprehensive about the procedure, but my fears dissipated when I met Dr. Qaqish and his staff. He is professional, confident, competent surgeon and restorative artist. But also compassionate, kind and humane. Dr.Q gave me a thorough explanation of the surgical procedure and also suggested a fat transfer after the healing to correct minor dimpling. I was extremely pleased with the results. Virtually no scarring and a more confident me! Definitely would recommend his services.

In 2018, Dr. Qaqish performed a full face lift which turned out magnificently and then he subsequently performed two laser resurfacings over a two year span. I would never consider going to anyone else. Dr. Q and staff are efficient, warm hearted and talented. Dr. Q goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable and has incredible follow up.

I have had wonderful experience with Dr. Qaqish and his staff. They explain everything and give wonderful post-op instructions. I had a tooth extracted. 4 months later I had an implant put in. This was on my rear molar which could have been painful but it was very well controlled following their instructions. I hope I don’t need more oral surgery, but if I did, there is no question; I would return to Dr. Qaqish!!!

We came for prep and were not given pain medication prescription they gave it to us on a day of surgery. When we came home I was in such horrible pain was about to die. Went to regular dentist for regular appointment and found out that the surgery is also needs to be redone. Won't go there any more.

Dr Qaqish and his staff really give the patient a sincere and personal touch. My husband needed urgent oral surgery and Dr Qaqish performed a consult and surgery on the same day! He was able to accommodate us despite his already busy schedule. We are very grateful for their professionalism and courtesy. Their accolades are well-deserved.

Dr.Q and his staff are amazing! I had dental implant surgery this year and the whole process from start to finish was smooth sailing. Dr.Q is very professional and very sweet. He called to check on me the evening of both my surgeries and I was shocked by that because no other doctor has ever done that before. I can't remember having any pain what so ever and everything is healing wonderfully. The office is always clean and decorated so nice. I'm grateful to have found this place. I highly recomm

Dr. Qaqish is the best. Very knowledgeable and does everything perfectly the first time. My procedure couldn't have gone quicker and more smoothly, it just isn't possible. I regret I can only give 5 stars, results like this deserves higher praise.

TERRIBLE doctor with no bedside manner, I went in for a consultation on 2/8/16 for teeth extraction for dentures and he was rude, very unprofessional, non-supportive and made me feel like I was doing something wrong. He tried talking me into getting permanent implants instead, which costs over $20K. It was such a horrible experience and he had such bad bedside manner. I will never recommend him to anyone!!!
