I’ve had multiple appointments and each employee I have come into contact with has been kind and welcoming. Dr. Anderson is excellent and has incredible bedside manner. Highly recommend her for all your oral surgery needs.

Everyone did a great job. First time tooth extraction as an adult and I feel like a million bucks finally getting it done. Thank you Dr Kim and staff for getting me in on short notice and taking care of it quickly. I was back to work 2 days later.

Everyone here was very helpful and kind throughout my wisdom teeth removal process! I got all 4 extracted under anesthesia, and everything went so smooth! They had no issues getting them out, and were very informative with aftercare! Im now 6 days post op and everything is healing wonderfully! Highly recommend this place to get teeth out!

I had my 4 wisdom teeth removed on 6/25/26, the whole process was smooth and easy. My procedure was done by Dr. Kim and he did a great job. If anybody is looking for a location for their surgery, i’d recommend this one!

Had two wisdom teeth removed in July, and as soon as I woke up from surgery, was told by the surgeon that the instruments used during the surgery had not been properly cleaned. He advised me to go get tested for blood borne pathogens within 72 hours, which was an additional $900 for testing. Needless to say, wouldn't ever go back.
