“I had a very positive experience with this wonderful team! Dr. Oliphant is exactly the confident doctor I needed to complete my care quickly and safely. I had all four impacted wisdom teeth extracted simultaneously while under sedation, which is the way to go! The entire team there is very helpful and they operate a smooth ship with effective communication. The insurance and finance team worked closely with me to make sure I could afford everything and made sure my insurance held up their end of the bargain. I would recommend anyone in need of oral surgery to go here.”
