I had an excellent experience at Dr. La Puma’s office. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and professional, which immediately put me at ease. Dr. La Puma has done a sinus lift, molar removal, and two implants for me, and each procedure went smoothly. He was fantastic at walking me through the process and explaining everything in a clear, reassuring way. I appreciated that he continued to talk me through the procedure which helped me stay calm and confident. On top of the great care, I found the pricing to be very reasonable for the high quality of service provided. I highly recommend Dr. La Puma and his team for anyone needing oral surgery!

I had two extractions done by Dr. La Puma. Both were done extreamly well, painless and fast. A+ word to the doctor, and his staff are great too!

Dr. La Puma is an incredible Oral Surgeon with excellent bedside manner. We went into the appointment not knowing fully what to expect but as soon as Doctor came into the room we were instantly relaxed! We knew we were in great hands! His staff are welcoming and friendly as well as informative. The recovery has been so easy and I think that has a lot to do with his skill.
I've also heard many people say that they hold him in high regard and have had a good experience!

I cannot say enough good things about this office. I am 20 and was absolutely terrified to have my wisdom teeth out but knew I had to get it done. The staff and Dr. La Puma calmed my nerves even after just my consultation. Then when the actual surgery day came around I was petrified but the surgery went so smoothly thanks to the entire office staff, nursing staff, and of course Dr. La Puma himself. He made me feel at ease and comfortable during the surgery and I felt like I was in safe hands. I am so happy I got this procedure done here and would recommend Dr. La Puma to anyone who is looking to have oral surgery done!

Dr. LaPuma and his staff are top notch! My teenage son recently had his wisdom teeth removed and the whole experience… from the time I made the appointment over the phone with Daphne, to the consult appointment where we were kindly met by Dr LaPuma and his assistant Brooke, to the actual appointment, (extractions with just local anesthetic) went SOOO smooth… it honestly could not have gone any better!!!! We live in Paso Robles and had originally planned on having the surgery done there, however, both my son and I were nervous about him going under for general anesthesia. Unfortunately in this area, there aren’t many (if any) oral surgeons willing to remove wisdom teeth without general anesthesia, so to find Dr LaPuma and to feel so safe and certain that it would not be an issue whatsoever was such a relief!!! My son had heard horror stories from his friends following their extractions and thankfully he did NOT have that experience. We were both shocked and so impressed with not only how quickly the procedure was done but how minimal the post op recovery was. Thank you SO much Dr LaPuma and Brooke! You guys are truly an Amazing team! I work in the dental field and will definitely pass this great experience on- along with a referral to anyone in need of a good oral surgeon :)
