Dr. Barsamian had to do two dental implants which consisted of two extractions. He came in and proceeded to put me to sleep by putting an IV in. Much to my surprise, the IV was put in by him, and it was not an IV! I am a registered nurse, and all he put in was a butterfly needle. I questioned him, and before I knew it he put me asleep. All other oral surgeries I've had in other cities and also my two children, they have inserted IVs, typically the staff not the surgeon. Butterfly needles are to draw blood with not to drip fluids! Needless to say, I woke up halfway through my procedure! He claimed my IV infiltrated, but I knew that was not the case because my arm is not swollen!! The butterfly clotted because it's used for labs and labs only! So I had to lay there and pain and agony for another half an hour and he still had to extract another tooth while I was completely awake! His staff is completely unable to start and IV nor is he! Beware do not go to this office and less you want to be awake for a procedure!!! He should be putting in IVs and not a butterfly needles. I'm sure he has no idea how to even start one nor does he want to hire somebody to do so. Maybe it's time to retire.

About Front Desk: Excellent office it's a shame we can't get some help and get a real IV started and have some real IV sedation
