Dr.Cho and his staff were awesome. Dr. Cho removed both our sons’ wisdom teeth. The surgeries were quick and thank God and Dr. Cho, they both recovered well. Dr. Cho personally texted to check on them and was available to answer any questions after the surgeries. We appreciated his attitude during the process. After he removed our oldest son’s wisdom teeth, we knew we were going back to him when we learned our second son also needed them out. I highly recommend him. The front desk lady in Hendersonville was friendly, efficient, and pleasant. All the staff was very nice! Thank you Dr. Cho and staff!

Everyone in this office is very patient, kind & friendly. When I met Dr Cho, I could see why the office staff is like that. He is the same way. Good service comes from the head & trickles down. I would recommend this office for any oral surgery needs you may have. They are that great!

Dr. Cho and his staff have been outstanding. I was well informed about my procedure, treated so well during my visit and Dr. Cho has already checked on me three times since my surgery yesterday. Highly recommend!

Dr. Cho is the most kind and gentle oral surgeon. I had really long roots on my molar tooth that he pulled. He did a fantastic job of getting it pulled quickly and made it seem fairly easy. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing an oral surgeon. Also the rest of the staff were very friendly and made me feel very comfortable. Thank you all for being so kind and friendly!

Had a dental procedure today at Southern Dental Implants and Oral Surgery.
I was very nervous. But Dr. Cho and his staff were excellent. They were professional and put me at ease.
