Really impressed with Northern Oral Surgery’s whole team. Front desk ladies were very sweet. Dr. Erickson and his RN Kelsey and surg tech were all very nice and answered any and all questions I had. Highly recommend!

Got all 4 wisdom teeth removed this morning. All team members including the nurse, assistant, and surgeon made me feel well cared for. Couldn’t be happier with my experience, these people are wonderful at their jobs!

They got me in incredibly fast for an emergency tooth extraction. I can’t thank DR. Morse enough for rearranging his schedule to get me in and got this taken care of. Wonderful staff, very attentive and made me feel comfortable for not the most fun procedure. I am so grateful! Huge thanks again!!

I had a wonderful experience getting my wisdom teeth out yesterday. The billing process was very transparent, and everything was explained to me well. The actual procedure was entirely painless (no lie I swear), and all the staff I interacted with were so kind and made the process very smooth and quick. I hope I never have to see you guys again (LOL), but if I do, I know I will be in good hands!!
