We had a fantastic experience from start to finish. My 11-year old had to have two “shark teeth” removed and she ended up having two wisdom teeth removed also. She was really scared. Dr. Kelson and his staff were steady and calming. When it was time for the procedure to start, she followed them without a glance back. When it was over, she was grumpy, but said she felt like only two minutes had passed. Their instructions for post-surgical care were easy and reassuring. I am thankful for how easy they made today.

I have taken both my kids to Dr. Kelson to have their wisdom teeth removed. Each time from the time I called the office to the time we left the staff was warm welcoming and made the entire experience smooth and easy. Both kids had good a good experience and healed beautifully. I highly recommend for any oral surgery needs.

Our experience with Dr.Kelson and his office staff was excellent. From the first time I called and they got us in so quickly to the feont dest staff the morning we got there to the consult with Dr. Kelson and him explaining everything to us and asking my child questions to get her alittle more comfortable since she was so nervous. A super nice girl took her back into the procedure room and my daughter said she was so nice an her and the doc kept asking her questions and made her feel better. When i picked her up in the room after her procedure she was in a super comfy chair with a blanket over her and she had a balloon and she for to pick out a cool toy. The Doc came in agan to let me know how she did and explain discharge papers and we were on our way. He even called in the evening to make sure my daughter was ok and feeling well and said if I had any questions to not hesitate to call. Our experience with Dr.Kelson was excellent and my daughter said if she had to get her procedure done again shed be happy to go back.

Dr. Stephen Kelson is fantastic. My daughter had oral surgery and was very nervous about it and he made her and I feel very comfortable. The surgery went great and he followed up with us after to make sure she was doing okay and to check in. Everyone in their office is super nice and it was overall a great experience. They took great care of the both of us. Highly recommended! 10/10

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Stephen Kelson and his entire team. I initially saw Dr. Kelson in an emergency situation, experiencing significant pain and requiring a tooth extraction. From the outset, I was met with a calm, professional environment and a staff that was both attentive and genuinely caring.
Dr. Kelson’s demeanor immediately put me at ease, and the team did an exceptional job alleviating the anxiety I typically associate with dental procedures. Beyond that, his clinical skill and precision are clearly evident—his work reflects a high level of expertise, and I felt completely confident in his care throughout each procedure.
What truly distinguishes this practice is the follow-up care. Dr. Kelson personally called me the evening of my procedure to check on my recovery, which reflects a level of commitment to patient care that is increasingly rare.
I have since returned for a dental implant procedure, and the experience was equally positive. The consistency in professionalism, technical excellence, and patient-centered care is remarkable.
I would highly recommend Dr. Kelson to anyone seeking exceptional dental care.
