Amazing staff, very friendly and helpful. The assistants and Dr. Rai were very comforting and made me feel relaxed. The surgery as much as I had, ( multiple teeth removed ) was was very smooth and uneventful. I thought my healing would have taken a lot longer, the next day I was up and around doing my normal. This is the best oral surgeon in the country. Google it, he’s #4. Way to go Dr Rai and team.

Dr. Rai was meticulous in his careful planning for my full mouth dental implants! This not a procedure chosen lightly, and so the surgeon and dentist must be chosen with great care. Dr. Rai and Dr. Michael Fernandez worked together with a dental technician over weeks of time to be certain that every process would go smoothly and well. Dr. Rai was the most highly respected dental surgeon I was referred to…and he certainly deserves to be! I would recommend him as The Best!

Dr. Rai and his staff are welcoming and friendly. Their skills and professionalism reflect honorably on their practice. I’m so glad we were referred to Dr. Rai. The outcome of surgery is better than expected. My child is healing quickly and with minimal pain and without other side effects that are typical of wisdom teeth extraction. I will highly recommend Dr. Rai as an oral surgeon! Well done and I sincerely am grateful.

The care that was provided by Dr. Rai and his absolutely amazing staff was extraordinary. For my daughter’s consultation, we were able to receive a thorough breakdown of how the wisdom teeth removal procedure will be conducted and Dr. Rai also voiced his concerns with my daughter’s teeth and gave us different options on how to proceed based off of his concerns, which I thought was very helpful. He wanted to provide her with the best care for her health. When we showed up on the day of the removal surgery, the staff was on time and ready to see her. Everyone was extremely nice and very informative. I want to send a special thank you to Dr. Rai’s dental assistant, Tara. She made my daughter feel completely comfortable before having her procedure and she even helped me get her to the car in the wheelchair after the surgery. She was super friendly and was such a sweetheart. I would recommend Dr. Rai to anyone I know. Thank you for exceptional service.

Dr Rai and his staff are extremely professional and caring. He explains procedures and possible risks in an easy to understand manner. My daughter‘s procedure went smoothly and the outcome was amazing. Dr. Rai even made a personal call to check on my daughter after having oral surgery.I highly recommend Dr Rai, and I am confident that you will be as thrilled with the results as I am!

I had a great experience! They were able to get me in quickly because I was in a lot of pain! I had a tooth extracted and it was done very quickly! The assistant, Tara, was very kind, took good care of me, and made sure I was comfortable! And, they called me a couple days later to see how I was doing! Having been a practice administrator at a medical practice these things are important to me! The only criticism I will give is that the front desk should have notified me that he was running behind so I wasn’t just sitting there guessing! Overall extremely happy!

I would highly recommend Dr. Rai and his nurse. They both explained everything very well. Dr. Rai asked my thoughts and gave his recommendation. After placing the IV, I only remember waking up to him saying it was all done. Thank you so very much for working me in after the holiday weekend. I give you and your staff 5 🌟!!

My 15 year old had four wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Rai (3 impacted), and the whole process went very well. First off, everyone in his office was fantastic, kind, professional, and timely; even when dealing with a worried and concerned mom. Katie, Terra, and Jessica we’re amazing. Dr. Rai was very professional, detailed, knowledgeable, safe, patient and made me feel very comfortable. He called to discuss my sons plan of care and answer questions personally over the phone. How many surgeons still do that?! My son did very well. He was comfortable with the Terra right off the back, Dr. Rai explained the details to both of us, I got to stay with him until they were ready to start the procedure, he was comfortable during the procedure, and day one post op he seems to be in a minimal amount of pain and not having a lot of swelling. My son was even able to eat some Mac and cheese about one hour after his procedure. Terra gave us a rundown of all the foods he could have after (and it’s a whole lot more than mashed potatoes and pudding lol). Disclosure: we followed all instructions from the office! Long story short, I would absolutely recommend Dr. Rai’s office to family, friends, and co workers. Thank you guys for providing such awesome care!!

I truly have a phobia of dentists and everyone was so kind and patient with me and dr rai really truly cares and listens to you and makes you feel comfortable and with someone like me that is no easy feat He checked on me personally the next day to see how I was doing and I don’t know many oral surgeons will do that usually it is the receptionist if that I truly want to thank him for making an awful experience better and I would definitely recommend if I could give 10 stars I would

From the day I set the appointment up to the follow up call from Dr. RAI himself, it was exceptional. I felt comfortable and felt they truly were looking out for my best interest. Hopefully I do not have to get another procedure done but for anyone that needs oral surgery I strongly recommend Dr. Rai and his team.

Dr. Rai extracted a wisdom tooth on short notice after a same day referral from my dentist. The entire procedure took about an hour and although i was not put to sleep, only felt brief and tolerable pain. The staff was very kind, knowledgable and easily put my anxiety to rest. Overall I am happy and impressed with how quickly and painless everything went, you will be in good hands here!

I had a tooth extracted this morning at this office.. I met with Dr. Rai and his staff yesterday for a consultation and they were super friendly and let me know the cost up front and what to expect. I have a very low tolerance for pain and needed to have full sedation. When I got their the staff was welcoming and made me comfortable. Dr. Rai was also very friendly and professional..i would definitely recommend this oral surgeon practice to anyone needing one.

Excellent experience for wisdom tooth removal! Such friendly staff--Nicole was so helpful in getting us scheduled on very short notice and Tara was a delight in handling all of the post op. Dr Rai was extremely professional and knowledgeable and his calm demeanor put us at ease. Recovery has been phenomenal with very little swelling and hardly any pain at all (handled very adequately with just Tylenol!). A very definite five stars!!!

This is seriously the only oral surgeon I trust and he will forever be my go to for any procedures! My first experience was in 2015 which was amazing, I returned for 3 teeth extractions a few days ago and I have never been treated so wonderfully than with this facility! Dr Rai took away all anxiety, answered all questions, and made the whole experience comforting! He has amazing bedside manner which is rare these days! I can’t wait to get my implants because I know that will be as effortless as the extractions! Thank u Dr Rai and the whole staff for such an amazing experience considering the circumstances.

Performed evaluation and surgery in same visit. Staff was well informed, friendly, and efficient and surgery took place shortly after appointment time. Dr. Rai explained the surgery and answered all questions beforehand and everything went as described. It has only been one day since the surgery and there is very little swelling or pain.

Dr. Rai and his staff are THE best! He was recommended to us several years ago by another dental professional and we appreciate that recommendation to this day. He has performed procedures on three of our immediate family members. Today, he performed yet another family procedure and, while there, I was reminded about how great this doctor and his team truly are. Thank you folks- Your skill, professionalism and courtesy do not go unnoticed!

I had five teeth extracted (all four wisdom plus one second molar) about five weeks ago. Dr. Rai did an incredible job with the surgery, and the practice included a small care package as well as detailed care instructions for the first week which helped me avoid the dreaded dry socket. All together it was a significantly less painful experience than I was expecting. I will likely return to Dr. Rai for any future oral surgery needs.

I recently had mouth surgery here and before the procedure I was very nervous Dr. Rais and his staff made me feel at ease telling me exactly what would be occurring step by step. Before I went to sleep I was relaxed about the procedure and the care these professionals were providing me. The surgery went great I had little pain afterwards and I would recommend Dr. Rais and his staff to anyone who was looking for a good place to take care of if your dental needs. The doctor even called me the next day to make sure I was doing good. I give Dr. Rais and his staff an A++++++ for customer service and dental care. Thanks to him and his staff for excellent service and careMWS

Review №34

I was referred to Dr. Rai’s practice from my primary dentist after I had cracked a mollar that was beyond repair. Unfortunately it took three days for the “emergent” visit to come to fruition at Dr. Rai’s office and now I understand why. This one of the few practices in the are that treat you as a person and part of their own, unlike others that see you nothing more than a head count.I arrived and the admin staff were delightful, the nursing staff was very nice and professional, they did some small talk and I appreciate that as majority of us are just nervous to set foot in a dental office. I was at ease and felt comfortable in their care.When Dr. Rai first introduced himself you can tell the care and quality he presents himself in. Very knowledgeable, professional and very meticulous. He was very thorough of the procedure and options I can take. I went the dental implant route. I was explained the process thoroughly and the steps to get from start to finish. At the beginning of the mollar extraction some good conversation was made, it’s nice to have someone get to know you and include you into the fold of things. As far as the procedure, it was easy for him/them as they do it every day, however; you can see the expert, quality and efficient work unfold before you. I was in and out with little discomfort. Even the financial specialist is witty and made a good atmosphere even when she took my money!! How does that work?😆 Very honest business as they mailed me a check for the portion of money that was not used and covered by my insurance.So far very good job and I still have quite a bit to go for the final implant is done, I feel satisfied and I highly recommend Dr. Rai and his team of professionals for any future dental care.I know photos do wonders, but I do not have permission to take photos of them at work....so y’all are just going to get a fine scan/mold of my bone structure...enjoy!

I thought it was a very great dental office. Very clean and all the staff was very nice. I had my wisdom tooth taken out and it was fast and I felt nothing. Everything went very smoothly and they made me feel so comfortable. Dr. Rai called me the next day to check in on me and made sure I was doing well. I didn’t give it a 5 star only because of 3D X-ray that was quite pricey and isn’t covered by insurance but other than that everything else was amazing.

My Grandmother, Anne J, was very impressed with Dr. Rai and his dental practice. They were able to schedule her consultation the day after we called, and booked her extraction appointment within the same week. The staff was very friendly and the extra precautions they took for Covid made her feel safe. The best experience you could have for getting teeth pulled.

Review №37

This practice is only generous to its clients up until it is time to collect the copay. I received two calls three days prior to my appointment in which I was unavailable to answer due to my work schedule; and they did not leave a voicemail. The next day, I then get a call from my mother saying the doctor himself called her and stated, “If she does not call me by 12pm I will remove her from my practice. I have many clients waiting for an appointment.” The workers who handle the insurance payments are also inconsistent with their knowledge and I was put on hold many times until they figured out the issues with my copay. The unprofessionalism of Dr. Rai was what caused me to ask my primary dentist for another referral. Very dissatisfied and disappointed in my experience with this practice.

Absolutely amazing! I just got my wisdom teeth out by Dr.Rai and I would do it all over again! It went perfectly and I have little to no pain afterwards even with four-impacted wisdom teeth that were close to nerves! He did an amazing job and so did his nurse. Truly was quick and easy!

My husband needed an oral surgeon immediately and I Googled best in Virginia Beach and Dr Rai was first in search. HE took him in immediately and put my husband at ease from the get go. A very hard job to do. Dr Rai and his staff are very professional and caring. They explained everything they were doing and needed done with patience and care. Recently had to return and they still rembered us and had the same careing and professional ethics. Definitely recommend and will return for any or all mine or my family oral work if needed.

Dr. Rai and his staff are amazing! We 1st met Dr. Rai in June 2017 when our oldest had his wisdom teeth removed and when it was time for our youngest to have her wisdom teeth removed (Nov 2020)... there was no question about who would do the procedure. Dr. Rai and his staff go above and beyond in so many ways!

I had my wisdom teeth removed after a recommendation to Rai Oral Surgery and Dental and was very pleased with my experience. All of the staff were friendly and helpful putting my mind at ease going into the procedure. You could see the professionalism as well and the dedication to patient wellbeing and health was paramount during the whole visit.

I had 4 wisdom teeth, and one baby tooth pulled with Dr. Rai and his team. They were all so kind and incredibly helpful before and after my surgery.

My daughter had her wisdom teeth extracted today and she was very nervous...Ok we both were lol. I can’t say enough about how kind, helpful and courteous the entire staff is. From the start, Katie was awesome and super helpful. When we arrived this morning, everyone was just amazing! You could tell that Dr Rai genuinely cares about you and the care he is providing, and he has surrounded himself with the most excellent staff that all feel the same. You’re not just a patient, you’re human and it is important to them that you are comfortable. My daughter was put at ease from start to finish, as was I. Kyla (sorry if I’m spelling it wrong) was very sweet and Jenna (I think) was super helpful with all the post op and bringing her to the car as well. I’m so sorry if I got names wrong, crazy mom brain lol, but I have to say that my daughter very lovingly referred to her as “the blonde one” lol and she told me three times on the way home how much she liked her💜 THANK YOU ALL for just being awesome. It is truly evident how much you care and we really appreciate it. Also, thanks again for cleaning up my spilled coffee Katie...I’m so sorry!🥺🤣 Hope you all have a very Happy New Year!!🎉

Review №67

Dr. Rai and ALL his staff were nothing but kind and just amazing to me. I was so nervous and worried for so many reasons!!! First , because I’m always nervous about pain and dental work, but more importantly, I was worried about how the staff and Dr would be around men. I say this because unfortunately, a lot of dentist and including their staff aren’t usually so nice and warming. That was so not the case here. I felt nervous yes, but I felt such amazing energy there, that my fears went away! I calmed down so much just talking to everyone and when Dr. Rai came in to talk to me, he was so gentle , kind and professional in the most nicest way I’ve ever seen. This is the best dentist I have EVER had. I really mean this and if anyone is reading up on his reviews because you’re about to have a procedure done, believe me, Dr. Rai is the best and will make you feel like your with family. Thank you so much to Dr. Rai and his amazing staff.

Dr. Rai was recommended by my dentist and I found out he was out of network. So I started calling around, being that I had a mass in my jaw and needed it removed ASAP.After reaching out to a number of in network providers, and hearing them say they actually would go to him if they were in my situation, I decided to pay more and it was WELL worth it. Dr. Rai treated me like a person, not a case or client, yet was very personal. He checked up on me personally, post procedure, and called me immediately when biopsy results were in. Highly recommend for any oral surgery care.

Review №74

11/10 experience at this practice! Wisdom teeth removal is never fun, but the pleasant people at this office made it all the more bareable. Dr. Rai is a really chill (he fist bumped me, clearly hes the coolest doctor in town) competent, and knowledgeable doctor. He thoroughly explained my wisdom teeth situation and the process of the extraction. He also makes good conversation, which is good for calming nerves. Jessica and Dina assisted him in the surgery. Ive never had surgery before, so I was fairly nervous, but both of those lovely ladies reassured me by talking about funny stories and explaining the amount of experience both them and Dr. Rai have had in dental care (a lot). I was in good hands. There were also two ladies at the front desk, Michelle and Katie, who were very patient and understanding when I realized that I forgot my insurance card. They were flexible and helped me handle that along with explaining my payment plan. This is probably the best place you can come to get any sort of oral/dental surgery done. Good, knowledgeable, patient, cool and friendly people here, and I 110% recommend coming to this practice. I rarely write reviews, but these people were deserving of a five star.

Review №75

Dr. Rai and his staff are phenomenal! I had a badly infected tooth and was referred by another dentist to Dr. Rai. His team managed to squeeze me into his schedule the same day for a consultation and he performed the necessary surgery the following day. Throughout the whole experience, Dr. Rai and his team were patient and knowledgeable, explaining what needed to be done, answering all of my questions, and treating me with great care and kindness. The surgery went flawlessly, and my recovery has been quick and nearly painless. I will recommend Dr. Rai to any of my friends and family looking for a first-class oral surgeon, and there is nobody else I will trust with my specialist tooth care. Thank you, Dr. Rai.

Review №78

Amazing, amazing, amazing. I could not recommend this place more. They set up a payment plan for me via CareCredit as I dont have insurance. This was very important to me as I am working only part time and also in school part time and cannot afford to pay this out of pocket. Everyone at the office was very friendly and the procedure was done incredibly quick. I was out and back awake in what felt like 2 minutes, which is exactly how they described it to me. Everything they said was very accurate to how it actually went down which was incredibly impressive. I have felt absolutely no pain, only slight throbbing and after taking the medicine prescribed, it goes away quickly. I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth taken out as my mouth was too small to house them. I had an amazing experience here and I 100% recommend Dr. Rai and his staff!!!

Review №81

My daughter had her Wisdom teeth removed during COVID-19. Dr. Rai’s staff took the necessary precautions but not at the expense of patient care. The procedure was quicker than we thought and they provided good written post-procedure instructions. This is important because you are a bit overwhelmed when your child has just had oral surgery. The doctor called to check on my daughter and the staff were helpful when I called with questions. They also gave a small discount since neither our dental nor medical insurance covered wisdom teeth. Was as good an experience as possible given the circumstances. Thank you!

I never knew painless dentistry existed until now. I highly recommend Rai Dentistry. The staff was amazing, the office is clean, and Dr. Rai is as good they get.

I called Dr. Rais office based on a recommendation I received from a friend. I called them and, from the very beginning, his secretary was incredibly helpful, straight to the point, yet understanding of my situation and empathic. She followed up with a call as promised and got my consult and surgery scheduled for three days later only because they are not open on weekends. The experience at the office was nothing but amazing. Dr. Rai and his whole staff are very kind, patient, professional, yet warm and nurturing. I felt cared for and regarded at all times and I have already referred a friend for the same type of surgery. 150% recommended. The way they treat patients should be the standard and its sad that I am so surprised by it. They definitely set the bar for what excellent care should be.

Really nice to visit an office that has patients as their first concern! All aspects of the procedure are explained and guidelines for expedited recovery from the procedure are discussed! Jessica and Nicole are very knowledgeable and put you at ease while getting you prepared for your procedure! Dr Rai is very concerned with making you feel as comfortable as possible during the procedure and is one the few doctors who personally calls a patient himself to check on the well being of a patient after a procedure! I am really impressed with this practice and would highly recommend them!!!

Im going out of my way to use my boyfriends google account to write this review because this place is that amazing. I was panicking about getting 4 wisdom teeth taken out and they were able to calm me down. The staff is so professional and very thoughtful. They even gave me ice cream to take home and an ice pack. I will forever recommend people to go here.

Had to get four wisdom teeth removed and I have had almost no discomfort at all. Staff is soooooo friendly and you can tell they truly care about answering all your questions, calming your nerves and making you feel taken care of. Surgery was quick and I was even given some ice cream to take home! Very impressed with this place.

Rai Oral Surgery’s complete staff was AMAZING and made you feel like more than just another patient. From making the appointment, to actually having the wisdom teeth extraction, everything went seamless. 10/10 would recommend and already have! :)

Dr. Rai, and his assistant Jenna, are kind. They made me feel as comfortable as I could before my wisdom teeth extraction (all four teeth I may add). He even called post opt. to check in on the recovery process. They did a remarkable job and I nearly feel back on track after three days post opt. I would highly recommend to others due to their hard work and kindness.

My 13 year old son was the patient. He had to have 3 baby teeth pulled and 1 was fused with the bone. Dr. Rai was amazing. He made my son feel comfortable and thoroughly explained everything we needed to know about the procedure and after care. The office staff was very friendly and professional. Everything went perfectly. Dr. Rai even called to check up on my son after. Strong 5 star rating from us. Highly recommend. 💯

Hello to all I would just like to say that my experience with Ray oral surgeon and Dennis implants has been one of the best Medical experiences. They are very professional they take the patients well-being and and safety as first priority ,which put me at ease as being a mother of three. The nurse that stayed with my daughter was very considerate, kind and easy to talk. They went above and beyond to make sure that we were well informed before and after the procedure I received a phone call phone from Dr. Rai ensuring that everything was well with our daughter. We just like to take the time and thank the entire staff for all their help and kindness.Adrienne

Dr. Rai and his team treated my daughter like she was family. Each staff member We encountered was super friendly,efficient and attentive. She had her wisdom teeth removed and it was so professional and the results are perfect. The one thing I immediately realized was Dr Rai knew ahead of time what he needed to tell Our daughter and I. He was to the point and covered her care professionally from start to finish. Both our nurses today were very calming and reassuring. We appreciate how kind you all were . Thanks

Dr. Rai is a great oral surgeon. He removed all four of my daughters wisdom teeth (under anesthesia) recently, and was so thorough in describing the process of the surgery and the recovery to both of us. He and his staff were very supportive, constantly checking to see if we had any questions or concerns in the process. Dr. Rai called to check on my daughter the day after surgery and make sure she was feeling better and healing well. Wonderful practice!

I actually just returned from a consultation with this practice. Office is very clean, everyone is in masks which is great. I filled out some paperwork and waited a little bit on Dr. Rai, but not too long.It got kind of awkward after that though. During my consult with him, the receptionist stayed by the door. She didnt say anything or help him (he just looked at my tooth) so it was unclear whether she was a receptionist or an aide (or both). We practiced social distancing, so we were all far apart from each other too, in different corners of the room which is fine, but definitely added to the awkwardness of the convo.Dr. Rai asked about the graduate program I attended, asked where I attended undergrad and asked what I did for work. It wasnt conversational either, it was more like he was pulling information from me. Im a black queer-presenting woman, and Ive been treated with suspicion / hesitation in medical settings before. Thats what this felt like. What does my education background and career have to do with the consult? He also hinted several times that if I dont go with his practice, I could see anyone else in the area, which obviously I know. Why mention this several times?But the main issue came at the end. Before discussing possible dates for the procedure, I was presented with a bill. The bill was an estimate for out-of-pocket expenses after insurance. I found it completely inappropriate and Ive also dealt with this before. Doctors charging me up front before even treating me, because they suspect I cant or wont pay.I asked very directly if this was common practice and was told post-COVID that it is. I understand Dental practices are in a liquidity crunch, but that should be stated earlier in the process, upon booking the consultation. To demand full 100% payment up front, for a list of services that I have yet to think about is not right. I did not choose to pay so we didnt book anything, and after I left aI felt compelled to leave a review.It was subtle, but I didnt like how I felt during the entire interaction. For your information Dr. Rai, Im an investment banker who went to top academic institutions, but of course you know that. What you dont know is that I get asked this all the time, not out of genuine curiosity/conversation, but because being black and queer counts against me in a lot of places to include medical settings. Your questions felt interrogative and I would caution you not to behave that way (particularly with minorities) in the future.Even if you mean nothing by it, it feels like you are gauging whether or not I have a right to be in that office. I will not be using your services and I hope you improve your bedside manner in the future. Additionally if your practice requires a full payment just to book, then that should be clearly communicated upon scheduling the consult, period. Sliding across a ~$2k bill just minutes after going over all the possible treatments is unprofessional in my opinion. Do better.
