Tooth extraction. These folks are really, really good. From the warm greeting by the receptions and her walk through of the necessary forms. The procedure was explain by Dr. Scott in every detail. Once th prep work was done, it took only a matter of minutes to extract the tooth. Good information on how to care for the wound in the next several days. Billing person went over all the detail about the insurance submittals and other needed information. The complete procedure took 45 minutes. read more

Dakota Valley Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery - Oral Surgeons Near Me - Eagan, Minnesota

Avoid This OMS Office - Dysfunctional and Money-Driven... If I could give zero stars, I would. I found Dakota Dental because they were in-network, but our experience was absolutely horrific. My son had an abscess and was admitted to Children's Hospital over the weekend. After discharge, we were set to have surgery on Monday with another OMS clinic, but they were out-of-network. Wanting to stay in-network, I called Dakota Dental, explained the situation in detail, and scheduled an appointment for the next day. I also provided all necessary paperwork, including the referral from Children's and CT scans. When we arrived, it became clear that they hadn't reviewed a single document. Worse, they refused to use the CT scans we provided and insisted on taking X-rays before we even saw the doctor. I declined, saying we'd like to see the doctor first. The doctor then came in and informed me that we actually needed to go back to the dentist for another referral before they could do surgery. So let me get this straight--you scheduled an appointment knowing our situation, ignored the referral we provided, refused existing scans, tried to push unnecessary X-rays, and then told us we needed to leave and come back with yet another referral? That's either complete dysfunction or a blatant attempt to rack up extra charges. Either way, we walked out. Save yourself the headache--find a different OMS. This office is unorganized at best and predatory at worst. read more

Had a back tooth extracted and prepped for an implant. Dr. Rake cut through into the sinuses and, when I said I could feel air, he ran out of the room and had me come back for extra visits once it healed. To add insult to injury, he charged me for extra visits while water came out of my nose when I tried to drink. After all that bother and expense, he didn't put in a bone graft so my regular dentist had to make a crown that's huge (over an inch long), looks ridiculous, and gets food stuck in it. I'd gladly have paid for a bone graft rather than the extra visits and I still can't get over he didn't admit to what he did. Beware if you go here. read more

This business rocks, the docs are great. I've now seen three of them due to crappy chemo. They have all been very nice, but more importantly, they have all been incredibly skilled. Their admin have their shit together. This is the place to go!! You won't be disappointed. read more

Had 2 teeth extracted with very little discomfort . Dr Rake is great at talking you through the process I would not hesitate to recommend .I give a 5 star rating read more

I just had all four of my wisdom teeth out less than a week ago, and I already am feeling good enough to write a review on this place!! I'm terrified of doctors, needles, IV's, anything medical in any way, but Dakota Valley made me feel extremely comfortable. My nurse, Mary I think was her name, made me feel like I had known her for ages! She carried a conversation with me easily, trying to make me feel as comfortable as I could. And hearing about my fear of needles, she explained the process they were going to do, and the process I needed to do when all was said and done. They ended up giving me some laughing gas to make my nerves settle about the IV, which really seemed to help because I didn't even notice them slip the IV in! (With some help of some numbing cream around the area as well :P) and I was out before I knew it. I woke up in recovery with little pain, just seeing some "double vision" waiting for the meds to complete their process. Mary was patient and caring to my needs while in recovery, and even helped me out to the car where my ride was waiting so I didn't trip over my stumbling legs! She even called after a couple of hours to see how I was doing- Something no one in any doctor's office has EVER done before! Greatly appreciated!! Not to mention, they send you home a free container of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream- Choice of Strawberry, Vanilla, or Chocolate to get better! ;) read more

I had my wisdom teeth out in March. I'm not a fan of doctors... in any form. I was in quite a bit of pain prior to having my teeth out, so I was just ready and glad to get it and get it done. I had a great experience at the Dakota Valley Oral Surgeon. With any surgery there's going to be pain, but I experience very little pain and almost no bruising. The doctor who performed my surgery was great. He came in, didn't joke around or make me annoyed when I was already not exactly liking being in the surgery chair. I chose to be "put under" instead of staying away - who in the world would enjoy hearing your teeth yanked out?! - so the surgery felt like moments. My surgery was at 2 PM and I was in the car headed home (not driving myself mind you) by 3:15 PM. That is check-in, surgery and recovery in just over an hour. Following my surgery, I received a follow-up phone call to see how I was doing which was a shocker! Very great customer service and experience for someone who doesn't care for doctors. read more

I highly recommend Dakota Valley Oral and Maxillofacial surgery to anyone needing this type of care. Everyone that I interacted with in the Eagan office was professional, friendly and put me at ease, despite my emergency tooth removal. Dr. Rake was outstanding. He talked me through the procedure so I knew what was going on and what to expect. read more

I highly recommend Dakota Valley OMS. I visited the Eagan office as well as the Lakeville office. Both are exceptional. I just finished up my last visit today of the the implant process and it could not have gone any better. Dr. Stacey and her staff took great care of me. They are extremely compassionate and make you feel so comfortable with the whole process of what they are doing. I will definitely use them for any future needs and you should as well. A+ operation from start to finish. read more

Dr. Jaberi is absolutely amazing, he is a godsend. He was so understanding, caring, and explained everything he was doing in complete detail. I won't go into specifics about my situation but can tell you with certainty he is in the right field of work and in it for the right reasons. I will 100% be recommending him to anyone in need of his services. Thank you so much to Dr. Jaberi and staff for everything you do! read more

In October I was experiencing a terrible oral infection. After 3 weeks of increasing pain/unable to eat or work the oral surgeon that was treating me said he could no longer help and suggested I try other offices. I called Dakota Valley and within 15 minutes Andrea and her Dr had set up an appointment for me at the University of MN Fairview emergency room. Within 24 hours I was finally on the mend. I cannot thank Andrea enough for listening and taking quick action to find a solution when I was at the end of my rope. And all of that while I was not even a patient of theirs!! I am eternally grateful. read more

I went here for my wisdom teeth removal last summer (2019). I had no issues with staff but I just want to bring awareness to my bad experience. I actually woke up during my procedure (screaming in pain) because I was not given enough anesthesia. While in the waiting room (post procedure) there was another patient who was loudly complaining to his Mom about a similar problem. I mentioned something to the nurse but she just brushed me off. This may have been a one-off day, but I would just take this experience into account when looking into Dakota Valley. read more

My story is a lot like the rest hear. Bad experiences as a child made me avoid the dentist for 20 years. Needless to say I need a good amount of work done. My first visit there relieved a lot of my fears as they were professional, thorough and genuinely seemed to enjoy their jobs and had fun doing it. I had my first surgery there a couple hours ago today with Dr. Joby Jaberi and my experience was awesome. Again they were thorough and did everything they could to try and keep me comfortable. I just remember talking to him and then waking up in recovery. It literally felt like I was in there for 5 minutes. I will never be so afraid of this again and no one else really should be. Maybe the pain comes in a couple days but I to this point have felt zero pain what so ever. Thanks, Joby!! read more

My experience with Dakota Valley Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery was just great. Having a phobia of needles and doctors and history of anxiety induced seizures while visiting doctors makes dentist and doctor visits nearly unbearable. However, the oral surgeon took the time to explain to me the wisdom teeth removal process in full. He talked me through each step and made me feel much more comfortable about it. The process was literally done in an hour. My appointment was at 9am and I was walking out the door by 10am, wisdom teeth free. The staff was very friendly and the oral surgeon actually called me later in the evening to check up and make sure I was doing alright. I did not have any pain or discomfort and also did not take any of the pain pills prescribed. Job well done! P.S. The free ice cream was a nice added bonus as well read more

Completely unprofessional! Went to consultation appt., was told the procedure would be submitted to my insurance company for approval. When I didn't hear anything AFTER TWO MONTHS, I contacted them. They informed me that no one submitted my paperwork. Stated it was an oversight. Two additional months later......still nothing read more

I highly recommend Dakota Valley OMS for your oral surgery needs. Let's face it -- oral surgery is pretty much the last thing you ever want done. Unfortunately, due to a small mouth, two of my adult teeth were stuck up in my gums, leading me to finally decide (in my early 30s) to do something about it and get them extracted with an implant placed. Now, I hate dentists for cleanings, let alone major surgery. But it couldn't have gone better with this great place. Dr. Angela Rake is kind and compassionate. I saw staff both at the Eagan office as well as the Lakeville office, and every surgical assistant was top notch and empathetic to what I was enduring. Every person was super nice and friendly. Dental implants (if you also get surgery for extractions, as I did) are a long, long process. I had multiple procedures and visits, and none were very painful at all and all healed exceptionally well. Thanks, Dr. Rake, and everyone at Dakota Valley. I highly recommend them if you need something major done to your mouth! read more

First of all, I have intense fear of dental work due to really bad work done when I was young. I needed an implant after a tooth broke on vacation(of course!). I got in the day after we got home and I can only say I think Dr. Indovino is the best there is. He had to do a bone graft and he worked quickly and thoroughly. I will only trust him from here on out. The staff there are incredibly nice and they explain everything. I highly recommend this place!! read more

Walked out after waiting over 45 minutes past my scheduled appointment. No explination and no coutesy call prior to appointment to alert me Dr. Scott Rake was running behind. No apology. Clearly, this doctor does not care about his patients and doesn't deserve my business or my money. read more

Hands down the BEST experience in any medical office I've ever had! Brought my daughter in to have two wisdom teeth removed, but when Dr. Rake learned she was leaving the country in two weeks, she said it'd be better to wait. So, we came back four months later. Everyone in the office is extremely kind, brushing off our tardiness twice (I get lost easy!). They even give you a quart of ice cream to take home. I highly recommend Dakota Valley. read more

So impressed with Dakota Valley Oral Surgery. Every time I arrived for my appointment they were on time, and even early. They were very prompt and very clear with what was going to take place. After my surgery they walked me out to the car, gave me ice cream and even called the next day to ask how I was feeling and were there to answer any questions I had. They sent home sheets with clear instructions about my medications and what to eat and do the following days. Very helpful. They went above and beyond. Definitely recommend Dakota Valley Oral Surgery. read more
