I had my wisdom teeth removed at Lake River Oral Surgery, and the entire experience was phenomenal. I felt comfortable and well cared for throughout the whole process.
Their communication was excellent from start to finish, and they were always available to answer any questions I had.
The staff genuinely care about their patients, and it shows in everything they do. Everyone on the team was professional, compassionate, and empathetic. I was pleasantly surprised by how little pain I experienced after surgery as well.
I highly recommend Lake River Oral Surgery to anyone needing oral surgery or wisdom tooth removal. They provide outstanding care and make what can be a stressful experience feel easy and comfortable.

The team at Lake River in LV can only be described as the best in the business. Within an hr of my dentist sending off my referral they called me and scheduled a consultation for the next day. Then about 10 minutes after ending that call, they called back to ask if they could just do the consultation followed by the daughter after procedure in the same visit, saving me a trip. Then, were the day came, the bridge into LV closed minutes before I was set to cross. When I called, they nsaid they knew about the closure and would be ready to see me whatever time I would eventually make it there. So, 2+ hrs after my original time when I strolled in, they checked me in and within a minute or two took me back to start my appt. But, that wasn't nearly the most impressive aspect of my treatment. I was there to get a tooth pulled, and bone graft to prepare for an implant installation a month or more down the road. During the consultation. They asked if I was ok with them taking another x-ray, and if all was good if I just wanted them to just fully install the implant (less the crown of course) immediately after they removed my tooth, thus not having to show up and have a second surgery done at a later date to do so, and also getting a tooth back in the spot they were yanking the one from a few months sooner than first planned! I couldn't say yes fast enough! And everything so far has went flawlessly and as easy as it sounds. Thanks, Lake River LV!

I adore Dr. Lazar and the team at lake river I have had to have surgery twice this year with her and I feel so safe and comfortable. There’s never any complications and the healing time is easy! She’s thorough, smart, and funny! 10/10 recommend!

I can’t say enough about my experience during oral surgery yesterday. From speaking to the front office to leaving my procedure, I had the best experience I’ve EVER had. The front desk staff was amazing and even came to check up on me after the procedure. I love the fact that they were able to get me in not only to be seen and get imaging done (I was not an established patient), but also to do the procedure day of. Life savers! I was in so much pain and left feeling 100% better. The office is super clean and the entire staff is caring and amazing. I was with Lily for most of the appointment and she was so sweet and explained the procedure step by step and made sure I was aware of everything that was going to be done. Doctor Chodroff was amazing and got it done super quick and painless. All my questions were answered and they made sure I was comfortable with the treatment plan. I drove a few hours away from home to get my tooth pain taken care of and I’d do it again with no hesitation. The front desk called a couple hours after I left to check up on how I was doing and I just want to say I really appreciate you all for taking such good care of me and checking up on me afterwards. Great office, amazing staff! Will 100% recommend you!! ❤️

Really kind and professional. The front desk staff were great and I really appreciate how everyone I spoke to made my wisdom teeth removal an easier experience. I was incredibly nervous going in, and while I’m definitely not wanting another extraction any time soon, I know where I’d be in good hands if the need ever arose again.
