Dr. Burns has removed my husband’s, my son’s, and today, my daughter’s wisdom teeth. He is so kind and takes time to explain everything to his patients. He makes himself available for any questions or concerns that arise anytime. His office staff is so friendly and attentive. I highly recommend Dr. Burns for your oral surgery needs!

Dr. Robert is truly outstanding. From the moment I arrived, the entire staff was kind, professional, and very reassuring. They explained every step of the process clearly, which I really appreciated because, honestly, I am always very nervous when it comes to dental visits—no matter how much they try to calm me down.
What impressed me the most was how incredibly fast and skilled Dr. Robert is. The paperwork and local anesthesia took longer than the actual procedure. He removed all four wisdom teeth in under 5 minutes—I would honestly say around 2–3 minutes. It was so quick and precise that I felt no pain at all. I was literally frozen in shock at how smoothly everything went.
His experience, speed, and gentle technique make a huge difference, especially for anxious patients like me. Despite my nerves, I felt safe and very well cared for the entire time.
I highly recommend Dr. Robert. Exceptional service, excellent skills, and a truly professional experience. Five stars without hesitation.

I had to get two of my wisdom teeth extracted and Doctor Burns and his staff were wonderful. I was in and out in less than two hours, Doctor Burns was straightforward about the process and after care. The staff were compassionate and attentive. After following his after care instructions, this has been the most painless and easy healing process I have ever had with any oral surgery. I will definitely be back if I need anything else done. Thank you!

Dr. Burns was fabulous in explaining my options and potential complications for his procedures based upon medications I have taken. I felt my questions were fully answered and helpful professional advice was rendered. Dr. Burns was thorough and patient throughout the process. I highly recommend this oral surgeon!
