Patient Review
Great service with wonderful people. Dr. Shanks is the man

Patient Review
Doctor Shank did a great job in my wisdom tooth surgery. I was barely swollen after and hardly felt any pain the following morning. Dr. Shank even gave me a personal phone call a few hours after surgery to check on everything. I highly recommend getting your oral surgery done with Dr. Shank!

Patient Review
Went for a consultation for wisdom teeth removal. Everyone there was super nice, kind, and friendly! Dr. Shanks explained everything about the extraction process in detail and answered all the questions I had.

Patient Review
The procedure was handled professionally and Dr Shanks was informative in his description of how he would apply anesthesia. I woke up with no issues and the whole procedure seemed very short. Although I understand the problem tooth was able to be pulled rather than surgically removed, the cash cost was the sameā¦. Rather expensive!

Patient Review
Everyone is very professional, timely (which I love), informative. Dr Shanks is the best oral surgeon I've ever met...and I've been in the medical field for years. The person who bought me said if they had to go to an oral surgeon, that's who they will go to.

Patient Review
Dr. Shanks and his staff are great. Ii was seen at my appointment time no wait. I was there for a consultation but I was able to have the growth removed at this visit without having to make another appointment. Dr. Shanks is very kind and patient considering I was nervous and wiggling in the chair. I would highly recommend him for any oral surgery that is needed .

Patient Review
Efficient. Office manager spent great deal of time discussing my insurance coverage directly with carrier so I knew exactly what my costs would be.
- Peggy Rogers

Patient Review
Dr Shanks and staff had me well prepared prior to the procedure. I was at ease asking questions. I was comfortable during the whole procedure. Dr Shanks has worked on most of our family from wisdom teeth to implants. We would not go to any other oral surgeon.
