Patient Review By Geoff W
I was terrified of this appointment. It actually was enjoyable looking back on it. I recommend this place to anyone. I hope I don't ever need them again. If I do, I know it will be the best experience anywhere.

Patient Review By Angela H
This was my first (and last) wisdom tooth extraction. This was also my first time ever going under general anesthesia. The staff, especially Dr. Ivey were very personable and lightened the mood and helped alleviate my fears. Dr. Ivey entered the room with a huge smile and greeted me. He was so jolly and we tossed several jokes back and forth. Right after he told me he had to start an IV, which I already knew, he told me to not worry because he had just started one on another patient 5 minutes prior, then he said "Well, they don't call me Dr. Ivey (IV) for nothing! It IS my name, afterall." If I ever need further oral surgery, I will definitely request Dr. Ivey as well as reccommend him to others.

Patient Review By Bev B
I can't say enough about how wonderful Dr. Ivey, his assistant Ana & Nancy (that scheduled my appointment) really are. Nancy even called me to check on me & appoligized for missing me while I was there. My only complaint would be the last that came to see who was taking care of my $60 bill as I was being prepped for surgery. She was beyond rude to myself & my husband. Everyone else was so helpful & set me at ease. I would 100% refer friends & family to them.

Patient Review By Rebecca T
The cyst, which was benign overgrowth of nerve cells, above my upper lip was gently removed in June or July 2016. I am so pleased with the procedure as you cannot see a scar. You'd be surprised there was ever a growth!

Patient Review By Jackie H
I've only just had all 4 wisdom teeth removed (7 hours ago), but I am completely in awe of how wonderful everyone was. From my consult to the day of the extraction, I have had a great experience. Dr. Ivey made me feel so at ease and comfortable, and I don't do too well even having my teeth cleaned. Thank you everyone for the experience that may have changed my negative feelings toward all things dental!

Patient Review By Dale W
Dr. Ivey and Deb were great. I had four wisdom teeth removed and it was easier than I expected. I am 65 and the biggest chicken in the word when it comes to dentists and I would not hesitate going back.

Dr Ivey is awesome. This was my first ever surgery so I was very nervous, but Dr Ivey's gentle & kind personality reminded me of one of my dear family members and I quickly relaxed. Thank you so much for everything!

Patient Review By Brad L
Thank you to the staff for making my husband's wisdom tooth extractions as easy as it can be. From the office staff to Dr. Ivey- everyone was on top of their game. They were friendly, professional and did a great job to explain what to expect from the surgery and recovery. Chrissy, the surgical assistant, was excellent. Thanks again!

Patient Review By Susan G
Two years ago I had a terrible issue with a tooth that was extracted from another doctor. Everything that could have gone wrong did. I developed a life-threatening infection. Dr. Ivey was the only doctor who know what was wrong and hospitalized me to perform surgery. He was the only dentist I went to, after seeing several, who knew exactly what went wrong and how to fix it. I was very ill. Throughout the entire process, he was confident and compassionate. It was a long drawn out recovery but in the end, all went well and I have Dr. Ivey to thank for that. I will never go to another oral surgeon except him and highly recommend him!

Patient Review By John S
I just had a tooth pulled two days ago and feel amazing. The entire staff was awesome. I sat in the waiting room for 15 minutes , then was in and out . I would give them 6 stars if I could . For the care that I got I would have paid triple of what I did. Super clean everywhere, they really made me feel at ease, since I have never been a big fan of needles and people messing with my teeth. Absolutely love these guys.

Patient Review By Jan R
I had a wisdom tooth and molar extracted under IV anesthetic. I am a Registered Nurse and am impressed with the up to date electronic monitoring equipment used on me during the procedure plus up to date anesthetic and pain management plan. I felt no pain from the beginning of the procedure untiI later in the evening which was minimal. Following the Pain Management plan has kept pain very well under control. I left the office in an ice pack sling with a nice case of supplies needed for the next few days including two extra gel ice packs for the freezer, a fact sheet of instructions and what to expect and do. Very professional group.
