Dr. James and his team are amazing! I was scheduled to have my procedure somewhere else until I read how positive Dr. James' reviews were. The consultation was very informative and I left with prescriptions ready to get filled for surgery date (so proactive even though I lost mine). I had my wisdom teeth extracted yesterday. They were very kind and comforting. They gave me a blanket, the nurse calmed my fears going into it, and before I knew it, they were waking me up to let me know it was over. I've had minimal bleeding, no pain in the place of my extractions and no swelling. My only major discomfort has been a sore throat, which I was told is from my mouth being open and dry during the procedure. I would 100% recommend Dr. James and his team to take great care of you.

I got my wisdom teeth out here in 2021 but a piece was left in there. Now I’m in horrible pain, like some of the worst I’ve ever had and can’t afford ANOTHER oral surgery. The wisdom tooth broke a peice of my molar off to make room.

I got my wisdom teeth out last week, and they went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable. The doctor and nurses were wonderful and patient. The surgery didn't take long and I came out of it with no issues. I had minimal discomfort afterwards and nearly no swelling due to the instructions they gave. Great experience considering I had to have 4 impacted teeth pulled out.

Dr Walter James is a amazing oral surgeon! I had two extractions! He numbed me up and was done less than 5 minutes!!! Couldn’t believe I didn’t feel a thing!! Highly recommend him! Already shared his information with a friend the day of my treatment!! Very friendly staff!! So thankful my dentist sent me to him!!🥰

Hello, I am four days post op. Dr James was wonderful, I really loved his nurse Wendy. I was so nervous and they provided me with anti anxiety medication before my procedure... once my IV was in I was out like a light and woke back up shortly after my procedure. I never had much pain or swelling.... which was awesome. I’m still eating soft foods but couldn’t be more pleased with the results and recovery!
