My recent experience with Dr. Stegman stands out as what may be the single best experience I've ever had as a patient.
Upon arriving I was immediately taken back to the treatment room where his staff were extremely comforting, made me feel cared for, and minimized my anxiety..
Dr. Stegman is lighthearted, kind, and instills confidence immediately upon meeting him.
He works very efficiently but is in no rush, clearly with a very high level of expertise. To my amazement the entire experience was virtually painless. To be honest, I actually enjoyed myself while I was there.
It is not a small thing to add that at the conclusion of my visit the fee for service was less than half what I was expecting.
In all respects, Dr. Stegman and his staff totally rock.

We had such a great experience at Lakeside Oral Surgery! Dr. Stegmann and his team were very welcoming, knowledgeable and made my 14 year olds wisdom tooth extraction so easy. Dr. Stegmann made the IV and extraction process fun and relaxing. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

I had to have two teeth extracted and rigged for implants. I was pretty nervous and needed IV sedation but DR. Stegmann and his staff really put me at ease with my consultation. Surgery day was a breeze thanks to everyone there. I felt at ease and comfortable with Dr Stegmann and his bedside manner. With the great team there the procedure was perfect and I have had no pain or discomfort. Weird to say I'd do it again, but I trust Dr. Stegmann and staff enough to return if needed.
Thank You!!

My first visit was a breeze. The office is well managed and Dr. Mason was very enjoyable and knowledgeable. I was smiling and laughing like I was part of the family. Very organized staff.

I had a fantastic experience with my wisdom tooth extraction at Lake Side Oral Surgery. I had virtually no swelling, minimal pain, and didn’t need general anesthesia. They really put my nerves at ease with their excellent bedside manner. Everyone was so warm and welcoming. I highly recommend them for anyone needing oral surgery!
