Got my wisdom teeth pulled. Staff and Doctor were very professional and caring. Procedure went by smoothly without issue. And the gameplan for healing and recovery was explained well for my understanding. Would recommend!

Patient Review
Exparel made a world of difference between my two children!! Both had all 4 wisdom teeth removed. My daughter didn’t receive it and we STRUGGLED with pain for days!!😞Lots of tears were shed by us both!! My son received Exparel and he was fine with ibuprofen &ice. It totally made a WORLD of difference in their recovery ❤️🩹 He said that it was well worth the extra money. I was skeptical at first, but then seeing the difference first hand was…..WOW! If you can any way afford the Exparel, it is so worth it. Mommas don’t like to see their babies in pain, crying & suffering! Dr Shanks and all staff are amazing!

Had stage 2 syphilis and they just told me I had bag gums and sent me on my way. Had over 100 seizures and 2 strokes 2 weeks later because they didn't bother to check and barely even looked at me.
