I have always been traumatized by every experience at the dentist since I was a child. I can say that the dr and nurses here are the best! After my consultation I wasn’t as nervous the dr and nurses have an energy about them that was soothing. I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed and was put out for all of them. 2 of my teeth were impacted and had to have stitches. I even expressed concerns on other teeth that felt soar after my procedure and they took the time to make sure I was healing properly and answered all of my questions. I was put under Anesthesia and the worst part was the IV(I’m terrified of needles and cried before my procedure because I was so nervous) I would 100% recommend them to do dental work and If I had to do it again I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

From my very first phone call to my consultation and surgery day, the entire team was incredible. Everyone was kind, professional, and made me feel completely comfortable. Dr. Bauman understood my anxiety and helped ease fears I had been carrying for a long time.
I had put this off because I was so nervous, but thanks to Dr. Bauman and his staff, the process was smooth and reassuring. I am beyond grateful for the care I received and truly believe this team deserves the world. I highly recommend this office to anyone in need of oral surgery.

Had oral surgery done and it was done professionally and courteously. Staff was excellent and made sure I was very comfortable. Could not ask for better service. Surgery was completed faster than expected and excellent instructions given in writing and oral when completed. I would recommend them to anyone seeking oral surgery

Was very nervous about my late bloomer wisdom tooth that got impacted, but this office was very thorough in their care and responsiveness. I was listened to and provided clear instruction. The operation was a breeze!! Definitely recommend this office for anyone nervous about wisdom tooth extractions.
