I am glad that I have found him for my extensive oral surgery needs. The office personnel and staff are awesome and really helpful in settling my anxiety. They are friendly and supportive and professional. This was my 1st visit for a consultation and treatment plan. My appointment for the extractions has been scheduled and I'm looking forward to finally getting my dental issue resolved over time. I recommend Dr Elson for your oral dental needs.

Finally, Monday came and the receptionist Isabella was able to squeeze me in that same day. Dr. Skoly and his staff were so attentive, polite and extremely helpful. I am eternally grateful for Dr. Skoly and his staff. It's been 1 day since they removed my wisdom tooth and I feel a BIG difference. I'm now able to talk, eat, basically open my mouth without it causing me pain. I will be recommending everyone I know to this practice. -My health insurance didn't cover this so I paid $325 out of pocket -I needed a referral to see Dr. Skoly so I was quickly able to obtain that from my dentist and the receptionist Isabella at Dr Skoly's office was able to squeeze me in a couple hours after I got the referral.

This supposed dentist office destroyed my life and I promise you they will destroy yours please stay away! Especially your State insurance patients.

I can't say enough about Dr Harrison as well as everyone else in the office for the treatment and care I received. Dr Harrison is extremely compassionate, very professional, thoughtful and kind.

From the consultation to the actual procedure, the doctor and nurses clearly explained what to…read moreexpect for my 18 year old son's wisdom teeth removal. They were thorough and took x-rays ahead of time, clearly explained the images to us, and educated us about how his roots were not very long, but that if we waited, they could potentially grow longer, and the teeth would be harder to extract. On the day of the procedure, they gave my son anesthesia before numbing his gums with Novacaine which made the procedure nearly painless. They completed the procedure in about a half hour at the most. They kept my son sitting upright in a chair in the recovery room for another half hour before the anesthesia finally wore off and he was able to walk out of there. They made sure that they supplied us with gauze pads, a syringe, clear discharge instructions, etc. Pro tip: check your insurance plan to see how much you have left of your deductible before scheduling your appointment. My son had a few fillings earlier in the year which used up a good portion of his deductible. If you schedule your dental procedures in different calendar years, you will pay less.

During the first appointment for my wisdom teeth dr. Mo Banki was dismissive to my concerns and…read morejust seemed like he was trying to be "hip" or "cool". I told him I didn't want any hard drugs because I was concerned about addiction and he said "well don't pick them up". This is why people form addictions. I needed a medication for another medical problem I have which this surgery would effect. I told them a total of 3 times, at first appointment, before they attempted to sedate me and before I left. I advocated for myself and was ignored. Surgery day came and he came into the office, put an Iv in my arm with NO GLOVES.He was moving so fast between patients I didn't even see if he washed his hands. They attempted to sedate me and gave up. After making me wait 1 hr past my appointment time they said we had to reschedule because it was past my appointment slot since I didn't get to sleep. The amazing, caring, kind, compassionate Anesthesiologist has nothing to do with this. He's the only one that talked to me when I was clearly scared, stayed with me, and explained things to me. After they failed to sedate me, the dr. said he can do it with local anesthesia. He gave me shots on both sides of my mouth. He immedietly went to pull my tooth and I felt sharp intense pain. I told him to stop and was crying. He got mad at me because he said "look at how much I already gave you I can't just keep giving you novocaine. " He went to another patient and pulled the teeth there and returned. He gave me more on my right side and it ended up working fine. He immedietly went to pull my left side and I flinched in pain and was bawling my eyes out at this point. THE LEFT SIDE WASNT NUMB. he used half as much on my left side and didn't even attempt to stop when I was in excruciating pain. Finally both teeth were pulled it was done. He left the room and said I didn't need to be in the recovery room. The anastasiologist stayed by my side. and I asked if I could go home since dr. didn't say anything. we went to front desk to get checked out and found out that nobody gave me after care instructions, new gauze for my mouth, gauze to take home, etc. Overall he is dismissive, terrible bedside manner, rude, and going to be responsible for people's addictions. I'm traumatized by this experience and never experienced something so terribly medically. I hope you do not use these people for surgery.

They felt an oral surgeon would be the best benefit for her and Dr Brown was consulted and was in-house that day. My mother is on Chemo and one of the side effects is possible bone involvement around the jaw and Dr Brown as well as all of us was acutely aware of this and admitted my mother and scheduled her for surgery the next morning. Everything went well, and my mother is recovering well and back to her normal self. Dr Brown personality is incredible. He's exactly the type of surgeon you'd want treating your mother.

The oral surgeon looked at my teeth and thought that was "crazy" to just pull all those teeth and said it wasn't necessary he came up with another plan where only 1 tooth would get pulled. I wouldn't trust any of their work. They don't want to save people's teeth. *update 09/7/21* The Oral surgeon told me to let them do the deep clean since they take my insurance. I scheduled the deep clean with them and they canceled it without telling me. I called today since I didn't get an appointment reminder and they said that I "never had an appointment"... I have the appointment cards they gave me though... This place needs to get their act together. They don't seem to care about anyone. If I had other options in the area I wouldnt go here at all. *update 09/8/21* Just got a call minutes ago from Artistry Dental Canceling the new appointment for this Thursday I made. They told me because of THIS review they are refusing to service me... (mind you no one else takes my insurance in the area which is why I had o go here in the first place) They said they canceled my 2 deep clean appointments because of my review about them trying to pull all my teeth out. Which was honest. Now they called me saying right now! because I left THIS review, and that I will no longer be allowed to go there for treatment. They said that Google notified them of a negative review and because of that I will not they won't be seeing me anymore. They didn't try and repair the DR Paitent relationship, they just said negative review no care for you. They will deny you dental care because of an online review. An honest online review. They are really sick. BTW my insurance is Tricare because I am an active duty military spouse.
