Alex Kashef, MD, DDS

Dr. Kashef is the third oral surgeon my family and I have seen in Marin, and he and his staff are the best.

I went in for a tooth extraction in January of this year, then last week for a post, as I’m having an implant done.
All my experiences (both in person and on the phone) with Dr. Kashef and his staff members have been excellent: these are very kind, professional, compassionate, and competent people who make you feel at ease even when you are going «under the knife.»
I have also been very impressed with the way Dr. Kashef and his colleagues carefully explain everything to me beforehand, including cost, options, and what they are doing during the procedure itself.
If you need a good oral surgeon, this is the place to come!

Dr. Kashef is The Best there is. I have had TERRIBLE experiences in dealing with my mouth issues… including having many teeth pulled as a child. When I learned I needed a tooth pulled, I was nervous. My dentist’s assistant told me that Dr. Kashef had extracted some teeth for her daughter, and she totally trusts him. My two experiences with him have been absolutely wonderful. Not only has the anesthetic been just perfect, I have had virtually no pain following the extractions. Their post-​extraction instructions are very helpful. Now I can say I totally trust him as well.

My seven year old son had to have oral surgery. It was tough for us and had potential to be an awful experience.
Dr. Alex was gentle, kind, good at helping my son understand the process, and he was great in allowing me to be in the room until my son was under.
The surgery was quick, the heal-​up was easy and Dr. Alex and his staff were fantastic about checking-​in to see how we were doing. I am very impressed and very pleased with Marin Oral Surgery and recommend them absolutely.

Always a wonderful experience with Dr. Kashef and his staff. We recently did oral implants and our daughter had her wisdom teeth out. Everythign was seemless and as easy as one could hope for!

Not that Dr. Kashef needs anymore stars… but he truly is great at what he does. I was so stressed out about the extractions but they couldn’t have been any easier, and the speed at which he gets them done is simply incredible. The only other time I ever had any teeth removed was when I had my wisdom teeth pulled… boy have things changed. You have nothing to worry about here and couldn’t be in better hands!

I had been putting my wisdom teeth surgery off for about 6 years until the pain was unbearable. I decided to go to Alex Kashef in corte madera as my dentist referred them to me as being the best. I first went in for my consultation, everybody in the office especially Dr. Kashef and his assistants were so warm, comforting, clear and precise with what was going to happen along with making me feel very comfortable about my uneasiness with needles, blood and in general being at the dentist. For my surgery date, I arrived and was taken in with care and once the IV was in my arm, I swear all I remember is being woken up by the assistant saying it was all over, only took 30 min! for all 4 out… and guess what… I wasn’t in pain, I was just a bit drowsy. I also wasn’t at all inflamed or puffy like you see people get-​the big chipmonk face… I didn’t have one ounce of swelling! Post surgery I slept, took my meds and was the best situation in terms of recovery, no pain. I honestly had the best of the best experience with Alex Kashef. He is so kind, calm and a comforting friend and dr.

Extraordinary, simply extraordinary. Little else need be said about Dr. Kashef and those working with him as they have put together an office that exemplifies the best of «bedside manner». With kindness, sincere care, empathy and understanding they go well above any expectations one may have when approaching the unenviable burden of oral surgery. And the attention they paid my 13 year old son recently when he had to have four wisdom teeth pulled was the perfect example of a truly perfect dental/​medical practice at its finest.
To all of those at the office I say a big thank you from my son Gabriel and me. To all of those trying to decide on an oral surgeon, look no further. Your search is now complete!

Just saw Dr. Kashef this week for a tooth extraction. It was a perfect experience in every way!
His office is beautiful, his staff are all great, and he is the nicest, most professional, most capable oral surgeon.
My procedure was done quickly, he explained everything, and the very next day I am pain free and seemingly back to normal.
I highly recommend him and I’m sure you will be pleased.

Was excellent service Dr. Alex is amazing talks you thur everything extremely gentle and his staff are good people by his side from beginning to end of services. .Liz is a great lady with a kind heart… I would definitely recommend this establishment.

I don’t usually write Unilocal reviews, but I have been so impressed by Dr Kashef that I felt compelled to share my thoughts. My pre-​teen daughter recently saw the doctor for some relatively routine oral surgical matter.
Firstly, Dr. Kashef’s manner with young patients is extraordinary. He’s very calming and reassuring with patients, which is particularly valuable with younger people who have limited experience as surgical patients. Second, we live in an era when doctors frequently review your case with one foot out the exam room door, in a rush to see the next patient. Dr Kashef was the exact opposite. He sat down with my daughter and I and patiently walked us through the impending procedure and was happy to address our questions. It’s rare, these days, to see a doctor who doesn’t rush you through this process b/​c of his own time pressures. Lastly, my daughter had more post-​op discomfort than normal and the doctor returned a call from my wife at 9 PM on a Friday. That’s extraordinary.
I’d also add that his staff seems terrific. I’ve been handled with warmth and efficiency at every interaction.
I wish more doctors were like Dr. Kashef. If anyone were to ask me for an oral surgery recommendation, this would be it.

My experience with Dr. Kashef and his staff was excellent. From the consultation appointment to the surgery to the post op appointment, everyone was friendly, courteous, and forthright about explanations. My surgery was quick and painless and the recovery went very well with little pain.
I highly recommend this practice.

My daughter had her wisdom teeth removed today. She is my third to see Dr. Kasher. Our experience, times 3, has been excellent. From check-​in through surgery and then check out, first class. I cannot recommend them higher.

Both of my kids have been treated by Dr. Alex over the years and recently I was suffering from a tooth that needed a root canal. I went to two different dentists who gave me differing opinions on whether it was appropriate. I then called Dr. Alex’s office and he was able to squeeze me into his busy schedule that same day just to give me his opinion. His advice made me feel more confident to go forward with my procedure and, if the root canal did not work out, to come back to him and he will take care of the extraction asap. I really appreciated his input and his caring demeanor made me feel better about the plan. I had the root canal done and am now pain-​free!
As others have mentioned, his offices are very well done and his staff is very attentive.

Dr. Alex is amazing and I had the easiest experience ever (minimal pain) with having my wisdom teeth extracted. A contradiction in terms: easy and extraction. Let me explain. I am over 50 years old with healthy lifestyle practices. One of my goals is to take great care of my teeth so that they will be with me for another 50 years. These extra teeth served no useful purpose and were food traps. I chose to have the surgery in 2 sittings and spaced it out a year apart to maximize insurance benefits. I could not be more pleased. Dr. Alex is a great listener and talked me through what was going to happen every step of the way. He instilled great confidence as did his staff who went the extra mile for me. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for dental work.

Dr. Kashef took care of my wife’s impacted wisdom teeth. Dr. Kashef and the expert staff at Marin Oral Surgery made us feel so at ease. They took the time to answer our questions, and ensure adequate follow-​up was taken. I was extremely impressed by the exceptional quality-​of-​care, professionalism, and patient-​centered treatment we received. I cannot recommend Marin Oral Surgery enough.

Dr. Alex Kashef is amazing! He has removed the wisdom teeth from each of my two daughters in the last 3 years. Both girls were exceptionally well cared for by Dr. Alex and his incredible staff. I felt confident that I had found the best care from the moment I arrived for our first evaluation. Dr. Kashef was just as warm, gracious, and considerate at each consecutive meeting. The entire office & surgery area was exceptionally clean, tasteful, and comfortable. The reception area greets you more like a lush living room than a typical waiting room. This warm welcome immediately puts you at ease, and is very atypical to most office environments.
My insurance was fully researched during our initial evaluation, allowing me to know my portion of out of pocket expense before I left the office. The day of surgery was calm and efficient, my daughters were well cared for throughout the procedure and were kept comfortable and under observation until they fully recovered from the side effects of anesthesia. Our home care information was well explained, completely manageable and helped me to take the best care of each of them as they recovered on the couch with videos in the days following the procedure.
The entire team was professional, patient, kind, and sincere in making sure my girls were comfortable and reassured throughout their pre and post op care. The surgeries themselves were quick, efficient, and painless. Dr. Alex answered my after hours phone call personally when I called to ask a question about medication on a Saturday evening. You simply can’t find a team as professional and conscientious as this one, they are the absolute best!

Allow me to preface this that when it comes to my teeth or a dentist, I turn into a complete little unadulterated «weenie.» For the past week, I’ve suffered through an
infected tooth. Try finding a dentist open over the holidays. I finally was referred
to Dr. Kashef by my regular dentist for what was to be a difficult extraction.
It was a difficult extraction, and I didn;t feel a thing. He was calm, kept me informed
of every single thing he was doing or about to do. He’s super friendly, super
capable, and his staff is wonderful. I’m impressed. It’s great to sit here with a mouth that no longer hurts. If you folks out there ever need a dentist — a good, caring, thorough dentist that is also an M.D., this is your man. Look no further. Trust me. You’ll be in the very best of hands. I’m giving this 5 stars only because thats as high as I can go here. If it had 10 stars, I’d give them.

Every moment of interaction with Dr. Alex and his staff is pleasant, friendly, efficient and comfortable. I had a painless extraction! I love it here so much that I try to build my business after their model of costumer service and professionalism with a personal heart connection. If I could give 10 stars I would.

I had a horrible experience getting my first wisdom tooth pulled at another dentist’s office out of state (he didn’t give me any anesthesia and I was awake and in pain the whole time). It was traumatizing to the point that I was so terrified to have my remaining two wisdom teeth pulled.
I was referred to Dr. Kashef by my family dentist. He is super calm, collected and knowledgeable. He listened to my horror story from my first wisdom tooth extraction and was really compassionate to the situation. The idea of going through what I went through all over again was very scary. I was completely reassured when he told me they would put me to sleep during the procedure and I wouldn’t be aware of a thing. Furthermore, he even gave me a couple Valium (one for the night before and one for the morning of my surgery) so I would feel even more relaxed and at ease.
The surgery came and went and I recovered fully without much pain (as opposed to my experience with the other oral surgeon out of state). If I need an oral surgeon again, I will be sure to go here first. Great doc, great staff.
