1st time patient and was impressed with the professional approach to me and my husband. The best part was that Dr Shanks listed to me and my concerns and responded with answers. Plan on continuing with this oral surgeon.

Dr Shanks and his employees are all very personable and professional . I had surgery there 3 years ago and will have surgery again next month. I have complete confidence in them.

I have an unimaginable phobia of the dentist. As soon as I sit in the chair I immediately can't speak and tears just fall. I can not control it or explain it. However they were very patient and respectful with me. It isn't fear of pain. It simply is an unexplainable fear of a dentist chair. They fixed my dental issue and didn't judge me. I appreciate that very much. I'm not even sure I spoke two words the whole time I was there. Thank you for caring for me.

Wonderful and caring experience. Both of our daughters have had wisdom teeth extracted with excellent outcomes. The staff, doctor, and facility were all great. Would definitely recommend either the Knoxville or Maryville location for Dr.Shanks.

- Cari Welsh

Excellent experience from start to finish. My twin boys had their wisdom teeth removed, and the entire team was incredibly professional, kind, and helpful. The doctor, front desk staff, and assistants all went above and beyond to make sure we understood everything and felt comfortable. The doctor even called later that evening to check on them, which meant so much to us. Highly recommend!

Two of my kiddos had wisdom teeth extractions this year and both had phenomenal experiences. From the consult to the procedure day to a follow up phone call after surgery...we knew they were in great hands and well cared for. Highly recommend!
