I have a deep-seated fear of having dental work, due to growing up in a very rural area without regular dental care, no flouridated water, etc. Once I finally started having dental visits, it was always painful and anxiety inducing. I finally found a dentist that is genuinely caring and patient, and has worked with me through getting my teeth in good condition (yay Dr. Herring!!) She referred me to Dr. Krisko for implant surgery. He has been truly amazing. I would not hesitate to recommend him or his practice for any of your oral surgery needs. Everyone from the receptionist, to the office manager, to the dental assistants (Madison is so sweet, and makes sure you know exactly what is going on at any moment) have been amazing. Absolutely no reservations at recommending this practice.

I had my wisdom teeth taken out by Dr. Krisko yesterday. The process was very seamless. I had a consult on monday then my surgery on Friday of the same week. He explained every step of the anesthesia process to me knowing I get very nervous for surgeries because of it. On the day of the procedure they were running behind because dog walker procedures running over but I never once felt like they were rushing or trying to make up time. They took the time to explain everything to me and verify everything prior to the procedure. I would 10/10 recommend Dr Krisko. His bedside manner is unparalleled and the entire office treats you like family!

Wow! It's great to walk into an office and feel valued. The staff and Dr O was amazing. Dr O even called the next day after surgery to see how things were going. Amazing!!!!

I got an appointment pretty fast and easily
Dr Onekhena and Carina eased my anxiety and fear about such a procedure. Just knowing that I was in such excellent hands made the extraction more tolerable.
Thank you so much for meeting our dental care needs.

This is a great place to have your teeth worked on. Dr Krisco has great techniques for removing teeth that other DDS and Oral surgeons don’t know or use. I don’t even use anything except local anesthesia.
The staff are all caring and fun… yes I know the dentist isn’t supposed to be fun but they make it that way.
I have been going for many years and you will not be sorry you gave them a chance to take care of you in a very caring way!!
