My mother's experience with Topeka Oral Surgery was one of the worst medical encounters we've had…read more I was in the room for the entire extraction. The dentist was rough and impatient; my mother was making noises from pain and clearly distressed. I stayed quiet to avoid escalating the situation, but the lack of compassion and gentle technique was obvious. During the procedure an assistant walked in from another room without gloves, handed the dentist an instrument, and he immediately placed it in my mother's mouth -- shocking and completely unsanitary. After the extraction my mother was left in severe pain. The assistant told us she had sent the prescriptions for pain medication and antibiotics, but when we went to the pharmacy nothing had been submitted. We waited in the parking lot for over an hour until the office returned from lunch and finally sent the scripts. This delay and the poor communication showed a dangerous lack of urgency for a patient in pain. Additionally, they kept my mother's original partials and never returned them despite requests. Given how unprofessional the process was, I have reason to suspect those partials may be reused or resold -- which would be both unethical and unsafe. These offices appear to coordinate with Michel Dental next door who referred my mother to them; my mother later received dentures from that practice that did not fit at all (oversized upper plate, uneven and painful lower plate). The combined experience felt exploitative and disrespectful. This was negligent, unsanitary, and deeply upsetting. I strongly recommend seeking care elsewhere -- find a provider who values hygienic practice, clear communication, and basic respect for patients, especially seniors.

If you must brave oral surgery then you would do well to visit Dr. Spear's, Topeka Oral Surgery…read more Usually a visit to the dentist for oral surgery is a somber experience but not here. There classic rock wafting throughout the office as you're greeted by a team who wrote the book on customer service. When you walk in to the room where you will meet the dentist, you will immediately notice the pastoral landscape from the giant picture window. The experience was pleasant even when i was numbed with three needles. Dr. Spear has a sharp but delightful sense of humor and there's no need for laughing gas when you have a Dentist with humor like this. Meg, his dental assistant is wonderful as well as she will reassure you all throughout the procedure. When it was finished a saw another assistant through the picture window feeding the wildlife as i stared through the big glass window. Squirrels, rabbits and birds were being cared for and you will be too. Cheers!
