I had a tooth under a bridge that was infected and very painful. One oral surgeon told me it would be a month’s wait. I called Dr. Flihan’s office and they were so kind and got me in that day with the help of my dentist’s office. I was extremely nervous and the whole staff was incredibly kind even letting my husband come sit with me briefly. Dr. Flihan was one of the nicest doctors I have ever encountered and the procedure was quick and painless. He was so sweet and called me the same night to see how I was doing. Exceptional service and I highly recommend!

I had two dental extractions done today and I couldn’t be more impressed with the care I received. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel comfortable and informed about every step of the procedure. The dentist was gentle, patient, and very professional—everything went smoother than I expected. Even after the extractions, they checked in to make sure I was okay and explained exactly how to take care of my healing. I’m grateful for how well everything was handled and I highly recommend their office for anyone needing dental work.

Dr. Flihan and his staff were fantastic. He was very informative before and after the procedure. Dr. Flihan personally called me to ask how I was doing. I can't say enough good thing about him and his staff.

My son had his wisdom teeth extracted by Dr. Flihan. It was flawless. My son has minimal pain and is healing nicely. The Dr. Even called that night to check on him. He certainly cares and told me if I needed anything to call.

Dr Flihan was great, removed 14 teeth for my mother with in a couple hours, and really took into account that she doesn’t haven’t dental insurance and really worked with us on the price. Highly recommend going to him for all your oral surgery needs.
