THIS IS THE REVIEW YOU ARE LOOKING FOR: Undergoing double jaw surgery is not something anyone takes lightly, and after a lifetime of orthodontic work, consultations, and uncertainty, choosing the right surgeon meant everything to me. Dr. Kelsey Laporte was truly the best decision I could have made. I had a 6-hour double jaw surgery, a procedure that completely changed my face and my life. Going into it, I was anxious, emotional, and unsure of what I would look like afterward. Dr. Kelsey Laporte and the staff at Tennessee Valley Oral Surgery took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all of my questions, and made me feel calm and confident when I needed it most. That level of reassurance is priceless. The recovery was one of the most mentally and physically challenging experiences of my life, but knowing I was in such capable hands made all the difference. Because of Dr. Kelsey’s skill, care, and attention to detail, my healing process went incredibly well, and the results have exceeded my expectations. Beyond being an exceptional surgeon, Dr. Kelsey Laporte is compassionate, patient, and genuinely invested in her patients. She wasn’t just performing surgery; she was part of a life-changing journey for me, and I will always be grateful for that. If you are considering jaw surgery or any major procedure, I cannot recommend Dr. Kelsey Laporte and Tennessee Valley Oral Surgery highly enough. She truly is a surgeon you can trust with something this important.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Kelsey LaPorte and the entire team at Tennessee Valley Oral Surgery. From my initial consultation through my wisdom teeth removal and recovery, every step was smooth and professional. The staff was courteous, detailed, and upfront about both the procedure and insurance expenses. Dr. LaPorte’s calm, knowledgeable approach made me feel comfortable throughout the process. I highly recommend their practice.

My experience with TNVOS has been much different then the other folks and their reviews. My experience is based on the last 3 weeks after my oral surgery. I contacted the office for an emergency visit and they were very accommodating to take me in, I am very gratefulfor that. I had an impacted wisdom tooth that was also in my sinus cavity and I was suffering pain and headaches. The front office ladies, nurses and Dr. Eisenberg were nice and respectful. I got x-rays and when meeting with Dr. Eisenberg, she was quick to say she was only a surgeon and could not tell me anything about my impacted tooth on whether it was infected. She could only remove it and send me on my way. I understood her stance but as a dental surgeon you should know what an infected tooth looks like, but that is solely my opinion. Being desperate, I decided to move forward and pay $2295.00 o.o.p. to be put under and have the tooth pulled and close the sinus cavity. Surgery was done, tooth removed and I went home and followed the regimen provided. A week in, my face swelled to the size of a softball and I could not open my jaw. I went back to the office that same week and was told I just needed to continue the regimen and ice and hot compress my face, nothing was checked in my mouth. All despite saying I was having puss and a sulfer smell and taste coming from the wound. I waited a whole week before going back in because there was still puss and swelling. Upon discussion, I had to be put back under to have them drain the infection and do a biopsy since the antibiotics did not work. As I write this review at week 3, I still have lockjaw and minimal swelling. This affects so many areas of my life like work and home that it has been a terrible inconvenience. I have heard nothing on a follow up about the biopsy or a simple check in. I am giving 2 stars because of my experience. The slogan of the business is "where you are treated like family." But I did not feel that, it was very impersonal. I felt I had to push and complain to be seen again because I knew something wasn't right. On my 3rd visit, the nurse I had Ciara was Amazing!! She had great chairside manner. She deserves 5 stars. My hope is that my lockjaw will resolve in the next week or two, if not I will have to go back again........!🫣

Dr. LaPorte is a highly skilled Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS). I had a Dental referral on Monday and an appointment with the Tennessee Valley Oral Surgery, Tuesday. I needed a molar pulled. It took her no longer than 10 minutes. Her staff was very polite and professional. They thoroughly explained the surgical process and were even able to confirm with my insurance what they would cover and what my personal cost would be. My same day recover is going well and just as I was told. I highly recommend Dr. LaPorte and the Tennessee Valley Oral Surgery PLLC. They are excellant.

The overall experience was amazing. The staff was professional and put me at ease prior to my 2 extractions. I would highly recommend TN Valley Oral Surgery to anyone looking into implants or extraction.
