From the moment you walk into the office to following up after a procedure, Dr. Gauthier’s office was absolutely amazing. My son had all 4 of his wisdom teeth removed and besides the expected puffiness and first day of pain, he is healing nicely. I love that everything was explained to him thoroughly before and what was to be expected in the days following. Some offices can be rude, rush explanations about procedures, or be unprofessional. On the contrary, this office is everything you want in an oral surgery practice, friendly, thorough, and extremely professional.

I went 2 years ago and am going back here as my experience before was a good one. Staff put me at ease and were friendly and helpful. Dr Gauthier was very nice.

This place knows what they are doing! I just had two bottom wisdom teeth removed this morning and I am already healing well. Minimal swelling and the bleeding stopped after about an hour twenty (maybe earlier but I was too chicken to check). I felt well taken care of during the procedure and every staff member was kind and courteous. I was given a handy after care kit and clear instructions on what to do and expect for recovery. The wrap for my jaw helped a lot with initial swelling and I’m sure will be handy in the next couple days. Everything has handled smoothly and without hassle. I feel prepared and ready to handle the healing process at home. Goodness forbid my top wisdom teeth ever decide to bother me, but if they do I know what oral surgeon I would trust to handle that.

I absolutely hate going to the dentist so making an appointment to see a dental surgeon was scary. However, from the staff to Dr.Gauthier, my experience was fantastic. She explained each step during the procedure and made me as comfortable as possible. I highly recommend this office, they are extremely professional and friendly.

Absolutely amazing experience in every way. From the first phone call to make an appointment - to leaving after the procedure- everything was perfection. Every staff member is kind, enthusiastic, incredibly friendly and does whatever they can to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. Dr Gauthier is beyond fabulous- I was so incredibly worried and a severe dental phobe for absolutely no reason. Before I even had time to squirm in the chair my procedure was over. Painless! This entire office is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, comforting and dedicated to their patients. I am SO grateful for them I cannot even put into words. Best experience I have ever had. Thank you all so much!
