What Our Patients Are Saying...

"I took a few days after my oral surgery to gather my thoughts before writing this review about my experience with Dr. Thiede—and honestly, I’m so glad I did, because now I can truly express how grateful I am. First things first: I’m not easy to please. I’ve had some pretty severe dental trauma in my past, so walking into SoCal was nerve-wracking to say the least. But the moment Dr. Thiede administered the local anesthesia, I knew I was in excellent hands. I was bracing myself for something intense—maybe a jab to the jaw or pressure on the bone—but… I felt nothing. Not even a pinch. It was so gentle and smooth that I kept thinking, “Wait, that’s it?” Throughout the whole procedure, Dr. Thiede checked on me constantly. There were even a few moments where I caught myself giggling—partly from nerves, but mostly because I couldn’t believe how easy he made it. Every time he moved to a different area, I’d say, “That’s it?” and he’d smile and say yes, complimenting me on being a great patient. But let’s be real—he’s just an exceptional surgeon who made it easy to be a good patient. I have zero complaints, and my healing process has been incredibly smooth. I genuinely thank God for leading me to Dr. Thiede. One more thing I really appreciate: SoCal is a gorgeous, prestigious clinic. A lot of the clients there looked like they stepped out of a luxury magazine—but the environment was completely welcoming and inclusive. Dr. Thiede provides phenomenal care to everyone, no judgment, no hierarchy—just heart, skill, and excellence. P.S. Thank you for calling to check on me after my procedure. I sincerely appreciate you all at SoCal. Nurse Michelle, thank you for being Dr. Thiede right hand lady at my bedside because your support was extremely comforting as well🙏🏽"
