Fujimoto and Lee, DDS

Dr. Fujimoto is great. Had my wisdom teeth extracted and very caring. On the other hand Carmen the receptionist is very R*U*D*E! Cuts you off when you’re explaining a situation. Very unprofessional. Maybe it’s time to retire!

Great experience working with Dr. Fujimoto, always real, upbeat and reviews the procedure in earnest. Going to a dentist is not my forte but they make it easy here.

In and out in 30 mins. Dr. Lee did a superb job in removing both wisdom teeth. Swift and painless! I cannot rave enough of what a pro he was.

I was referred to Dr. Lee for a wisdom tooth extraction. I HATE any dental procedures and the thought of it makes me nervous. As much as i hate going to the dentist, I couldn’t have been any more satisfied with Dr. Lee. He was probably the only doctor who ever offered me a music device to listen to while he performed the procedure. It was a great distraction. He also called me to follow up on my recovery which no other doctor has done. With that said, I would definitely refer friends or family to Dr. Lee for any oral surgery needs.

Had 2 wisdom tooth removed by Dr. Fujimoto. He was very pleasant and gentle. I heard horror stories about wisdom tooth removal but this was the complete opposite. painless and he got me in the following week after I called.

I went to this place for teeth extraction about three months ago because I had to get four of my teeth (not wisdom teeth) removed for my braces.
I was terrified about the idea of having four of my teeth removed, and it was a difficult decision to make to have all four of them removed on the same day, but I didn’t regret having my teeth extraction done by Dr. Calvin Lee and to have it done all in one day.
To be honest, I’m the kind of person who is scared of feeling painful. And I have never had any teeth extraction ever since I’m grown up, so I had no idea on whether I should go to a general dentist or to an oral surgeon for the extraction. Considering there could be infection if the extraction is not done well, after doing some researches on oral surgeon through Unilocal,I had decided to schedule to have initial consultation with Dr Lee first before I make further commitment.
Long story short, after the initial consultation, I immediately scheduled for the operation. On the day of operation, I was frightened and I couldn’t stopped my body from shaking because I was extremely nervous (haha, how embarrassing). But the operation went fast. I had my MP3 player on, and the operation is done after the third song is done playing. There go four of my teeth were extracted! Can you believe it???
There was just a bit of pain when they gave me the local anesthesia shot. I don’t remember experiencing any pain during the operation. I could feel some pulling during the procedure, but it was nothing after all. During the second half of the procedure, I couldn’t even tell whether the dentist was pulling out the upper left tooth or the upper right teeth because I felt numb from the local anesthesia. I could never imagine the operation being so fast and going so well. Thanks to Dr. Calvin Lee! The extration price range per tooth depends on what «type» of teeth and the level of difficulty of extraction. Four of my teeth were easy to be removed so the cost was cheaper than expected.
Dr. Lee’s office is not the cheapest, but I’d totally recommend Dr. Lee! I do care about the cost, but comparing the risk and pain and experience, I think it’s worth to have someone like Dr. Lee to give you peace of mind.

After having the run-​around with my other dentist, I visited Dr. Lee to take out my wisdom tooth. Dr. Lee is an awesome oral surgeon.
A friend recommended me to visit Dr. Lee and it was the best experience I have ever had. He basically told me everything I needed to know and didn’t dance around the issue.
Today, I got my wisdom tooth taken out and it took a matter of seconds. All it took was some local anesthesia and just a tiny bit of pressure… Honestly, I didn’t even know it was out. During the whole procedure, the surgical assistant was very kind and Dr. Lee talked me through the whole process.
Office staff is really a hit and miss. One is nice and very professional, while the other one didn’t seem to care for my needs. :P Anyways, overall, I give this place 5 stars. I will definitely come back to get another one pulled.
Edit: So I waited 2 hours for the pain medication to go away… And I feel nothing. Absolutely no pain. o_​o

Best dental experience and most scary procedure I’ve had. Can ya beat that? Nice front office staff and extremely competent and comforting dental surgeon. I had just local anesthesia.

I have no complaints about the front office people at Dr. Lee’s office. I recently saw Dr. Lee to get all 4 wisdom teeth extracted and I did the procedure with just local anesthetic, no laughing gas. The procedure took around 40 minutes and the surgery cost a little more than $ 100 per tooth.
I went in thinking that I wouldn’t need any additional painkillers but I ended up asking Lee three times for more anesthetic. I later realized that the majority of the pain came not from my gums (which were numbed) but from my jaw muscles which hurt from having to resist the pressure Lee applied to my mouth to get my teeth out. I won’t lie, the procedure was painful! At some points I even felt like my jaw was breaking. However, Lee was very comforting and made sure to inform me of what was going on every step of the way and was very quick to respond when I raised my hand to signal for more painkiller.
After the procedure it felt like someone had been punching me on both sides of my face for an hour. I took the prescribed painkillers for one day after surgery (after that the pain was greatly diminished even though I still couldn’t quite eat without discomfort) and it took around 10 days for the swelling to completely go away.
All things said, would I do the procedure with Lee again if I had to redo it? Yes. However, I would also seriously consider the laughing gas option.

I had gotten my lower wisdom teeth out before with another dr. here in the city were I was put to sleep and I just felt like a zombie the whole day. I just had my last upper two wisdom teeth removed about 15minutes ago and here I am writing a review for Oral surgeon Lee. It was quick and painless in by 10am out by 10:25 and thats just with numbing and a lil laughing gas which I could of done without.
I am afraid to go to the dentist but I felt like I was in the best hands in the whole city. The dentist attitude was like «it’s a peace of cake» after all he does this all day long.
Anyway, I recommend him to anyone who needs their wisdom teeth extracted.
I am ready for run!

Dr. Fujimoto is the best! As stated in reviews before, he is an oral surgeon, not a dentist-​if you’re looking to get you’re teeth cleaned or whitened, go elsewhere. But if you have wisdom teeth that need removing, like I did, he is the one who should do it. His appointment times are reasonable– I only had to wait a week and a half to see him. Some of the more prestigious oral surgeons I called told me I would need to wait a month, and pay hundreds of dollars more than Dr. Fujimoto charged. My extractions were quick and COMPLETELY PAINLESS! I didn’t even need any of the vicodin he prescribed me after the surgery, and the bleeding stopped in a few hours. Granted, my extractions were very simple, so I don’t know how an impacted molar would compare, but I imagine it wouldn’t be too much worse. He used just a local anesthetic, and by the time it wore off the bleeding had stopped and there was no pain, just a little soreness. The needle was also painless-​I barely even felt it. And he’s got a good personality too-​very easygoing and jokey, makes you feel comfortable about going in. Almost no time in the waiting room for when I made an appointment, and his front staff are very courteous, if a bit more restrained personality wise than he is. My only complaint is that the first time I had my molars removed he threw away the teeth without asking me if I wanted to keep them (I did) The second time around I said I wanted to keep my teeth, and they were waiting for me at the front desk when I left. Overall, he’s great, and cheaper than other surgeons.

I just got all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled out by Dr. Fujimoto. Local only no gas. I will have to say the words that are most important to the people reading this review ZERO PAIN! I was comfortable through the entire process, and Dr. Fujimoto made small conversation which was funny and entertaining, and most importantly distracting. Every step was explained while he was doing it, and he was very informative before during and after the process. I would recommend him to anyone I know.

I needed low cost wisdom tooth extraction quickly because of infection, and decided to go here because of the reviews and price. They were able to see me in less than 24 hours.
I saw Dr. Lee and he was awesome. He’s very knowledgeable and explained the process step by step and I felt that he cared about my concerns. He also seemed very sociable, as he chatted and joked with me before going over the extraction process.
The front office staff were very nice to me and helped me in the long process of paying for the procedure, because I didn’t have insurance.
The actual procedure was amazingly quick and painless. I brought my iPod to listen to to drown out the sound of cracking, crunching, and bone-​sawing of my jaw and teeth. The thing is, I only got through one and a half songs– the surgery was barely 8 minutes long to remove my wisdom teeth! I didn’t feel any discomfort, and honestly I didn’t know Dr. Lee had removed the top teeth until he started to sit the chair up.
Post surgery was a breeze, some slight pain and discomfort and swelling but nothing major. He called that night to make sure everything was OK, which it was. Three days after surgery I was at Giordano Bros. eating a sandwich the size of my face, and everything was perfect. I can’t imagine anyone having a more pain free experience than I had because mine was so easy.
This is not only a good place to go for the price, but the care and quality of the staff was amazing.
Many thanks to them for making this so easy for me in so many ways.

Please see my review for that office here:
Per Rita Y’s review, they are NOT dentists, they are SURGEONS!!! Trust me I have the before and after photos to prove it. They perfectly performed a difficult hospitalized surgery on me which I cannot even pronounce as it’s so involved, but required very exact expertise! I know as I’ve considered SURGEONS for this SURGERY for a decade.
While I have never had four teeth extracted, I had one. I feel that their offices’ excellent assistants are all completely capable of the advice needed and the status update for a routine procedures such as tooth extractions. Had Rita or her child’s other parent spoken to him before the procedure during a consultation? I’m sure that they did, and also would have let Rita or her husband into the patient room with their child had it been appropriate. If Rita Y. would have asked to speak to Dr. Lee that day after the extractions, I know he would have come out in person. Both surgeons spent much time talking to my mother when she had questions about my face-​changing surgery, and even had a conference call with of all before my mother flew here to take care of me post-​op. Besides, who else calls in the evening to check on their patients’ recovery? Exactly.
While I primarily go to Dr. Fujimoto, Dr. Lee has also seen me many times and was the assistant surgeon on my VERY complicated procedure. He performs these surgeries with Fujimoto as his assistant as well. Dr. Fujimoto is very personal, and while I do not spend much time with Dr. Lee he seems kind. My E.R. doctor is his patient and LOVES him! Whenever Fujimoto doesn’t have time or is at the office farthest from me while I am having an emergency– such as a standard post-​op infection– Dr. Lee always squeezes me into his full schedule. During my hospital stay– Dr. Lee was the one who primarily did my rounds twice a day (before and after his normal daytime office schedule) and is a lifesaver by doing things such as bringing me some extra wax, etc. So thoughtful and considerate! (Other surgeons send interns for rounds)
I’ve seen them for over a year now and love them, as does EVERYONE else with whom I have come into contact! Their peers in the industry respect and refer them, especially at the hospital who appear to be in awe of them. Both SURGEONS confer with your dentist, ortho, physician, etc, to make sure that the entire process runs smooth and that everyone is on the same page, which is all included in your consultation/​procedure fees.
Also, they run ON TIME, if even early, all of the time. What other medical office does that?
The staff at both locations are very nice, so maybe the previous reviewer had someone new? Or, at the moment, maybe a staff member was just swamped with a person undergoing a more difficult procedure such as mine? Last week I called and the receptionist knew my voice on the phone as I’ve spent so much time there (read above review if you need more info), and at 7 weeks Post-​Op from a major orthognathic surgery I definitely sound distinct. I call both offices all the time with questions like, «May I swim now?» and the messages are immediately returned. In my experience the staff at their SF and Cupertino offices are pros, only once was there a new employee who needs a little more instruction– but she’s learning fast and it didn’t delay me at all. The staff has also been patient working with my many re-​schedulings and have never-​missed with getting my charts between the Cupertino and SF offices, which I both use depending on whether I am at work or home. That alone impresses me!
For more on this office– try looking up each surgeon on their own for both Cupertino and San Francisco. You will find they receive mostly five-​star ratings, and in a time when «cosy» «hospitality» is rare– Fujimoto and Lee are definitely above the norm where that is concerned! By far! No one else to whom I have spoken (and trust me, when a surgeon is changing your face you speak to many people about that) disagrees with me.

Have been here 3x for teeth extractions for family members (not me personally). They’re very competent oral and maxillofacial surgeons (dentists). The front office staff can be hit or miss. Some are very nice and cordial, while others are not so friendly. Dr. Jeffrey Fujimoto is very nice and primarly works out of their Cupertino, CA office. Dr. Calvin Lee works primarly at the SF office. He’s not as sociable and much more business-​like. At our last appt (and hopefully final), our kid got 4 teeth extracted. After the procedure, Dr. Lee didn’t even come out to talk to the parents, only his assistant came out to give post-​extraction instructions. You’d like to think that you’re not going to be treated like a business number even ‘tho it is a private business. He did redeem himself by calling later that evening after dinner to see how things were. For us, it was a matter of location and competence. Would we return, sure, just don’t expect cozy small town hospitality.
