Patient Review

Everyone I came in contact with from the time I entered the front door to my exit was fantastic and very friendly. I was nervous going to a new dentist for surgery but when Dr. Shanks walked into the room, he immediately made me feel at ease. He was friendly, very attentive to what I had to tell him about my condition and reassured me he would take very good care of me. Told me if I had any pain or swelling that I was to call him and he would see me right away. Was so relieved. Would highly recommend!!!

Top notch care when my son had his wisdom teeth removed! They were so friendly and kind and he was in and out in no time. They made sure he had any and all meds that he may need once we got home and gave excellent after care instructions!

Dr. Shanks was very caring and patient. He didn't get in any hurry and made sure I was comfortable throughout the procedure. His staff from the front desk to his assistants were fantastic. I had no pain at all afterwards. Highly recommend him!

Final visit was today for my extraction/ implant process and the process couldn't have gone smoother. An x-ray was shot and a torque test was performed and I was "released" to my regular dentist for my crown. I'll be back when the need arises. Highly recommended! Awesome staff as well.

Great experience with my daughter getting her wisdom teeth removed. They were very friendly and nice; she was very nervous about this procedure. They helped make her feel safe and went over everything in detail at the end.

Dr. Shanks was more than willing to take my daughter’s medical history into consideration when making a plan for surgery. We left with two options and a month to consult with her physician prior to making a final decision. He was incredibly supportive and informative.

Had a wisdom tooth removed. Was treated with kindness and respect. Dr Shanks explained what to expect before extraction and after. I was given an iv medication and remember nothing. I had no pain afterwards. Very happy I’m not dealing with a painful tooth anymore.
