We had a wonderful experience at Alpine Valley Oral Surgery. Dr. Raposo is an extremely talented surgeon with an excellent bedside manner, and his staff is very professional, helpful and friendly. They ensured that our son had a great experience -- from a detailed, thorough prep to an outstanding surgery and follow-up. We are so glad we chose Alpine Valley Oral Surgery and would highly recommend Dr. Raposo to anyone.

I recommend avoiding contacting this clinic. They are unprofessional, tell lies, charge money without saying the cost and do not give good treatment to their clients. Before I got to the meeting, we were told they were working with our insurance company. I went to a consultation and there I was told again by the clerk that they work with Cinga and they will cover between 50 and 80 percent of the cost. i signed the forms and waited about 30 min after the start time of the appointment I was scheduled for. Then the assistant came and said I needed to do a CT scan. She did not mention that the scan costs about $ 400. In a meeting with the surgeon, he asked what my insurance company was and confirmed that it was okay and that they were working with them. After that, the clerk gave me the astronomical quote of $ 3500 and that the consultation and CT scan session costs about $ 400 and that the insurance will cover that as well. I felt cheated and not given the right information. After checking with my insurance company I found out that they do not work with this clinic. I went back to collect my ct scan to transfer to another surgeon. I explained to the clerk my feelings and that it was wrong for them to give me false information and not tell me the price of the scan. I got back cold treatment from the clerk who was just quick to end the conversation and enter the office with no desire to give me an answer. She said she would come back to me and I have not heard from her since. I do not recommend working with this clinic. There are much better clinics in Boulder.

Dr. Raposo took out my daughter's wisdom teeth, and it couldn't have been a better experience. She had no swelling, and only took Advil to manage her pain. She was literally back to work 2 days after surgery. A special numbing technique was used to avoid narcotic use after surgery, and being a worried Mom concerning narcotic use, this was just awesome and mind reliving. No narcotic, and no pain. I Recommend Dr. Raposo and his caring, helpful staff to all. 5 stars, hand down.

Dr. Raposo and all the staff at Alpine Valley are incredibly caring and knowledgeable. I was very apprehensive about having my wisdom teeth removed and after visiting a couple other surgeons in boulder who were very disappointing I was at a loss. I went in to Dr. Raposo's and was shocked with the high level of care and kindness that I received from everyone working there. Had all four wisdom teeth removed with Nitrous sedation after all other surgeons in boulder told me this would be impossible without IV sedation. Overall the process was far less painful than anyone else I've talked to who had the same procedure. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful and managed to get me in several times at the last minute for check ups. I could not be more happy to recommend Dr. Raposo to anyone in need of oral surgery.

Dr. Raposo is the absolute best. Not only has he been a great doctor to our children and their genetic oral challenges (think: small mouths, lots of teeth), but he has also been incredible in moments of urgent need (think: broken front teeth from sports). He is the consummate professional, always putting his patients first and ensuring their comfort and best outcome. I really could not recommend Dr. Raposo any more highly than I do!

Dr. Raposo is excellent. He has performed surgery on all 3 of my children. I am a physician and surgeon, practicing in Boulder county. Dr. Raposo has excellent clinical judgment and surgical skills. All of my children did well both at the time of the procedure under a combination of local anesthesia and intravenous sedation. The office staff were attentive and helpful with questions my wife had afterwards during their recovery. My kids all were happy with their experiences. The youngest was 12 when she had multiple dental extractions, and was comfortable with the injections and IV placement.

Thank goodness I found an oral surgeon that was able to get me in right away, when in excruciating pain. Dr. Raposo and his staff were great and walked me through every step of the way, from insurance to day of surgery. I will definitely recommend him to anyone and EVERYONE!

Dr. Victor Raposo is above and beyond the best oral surgeon out there. He is a perfectionist regarding his work and the care of his patients. I have managed a general dental practice for over ten years and my Father is a dentist of over 35 years, so I am quite familiar with the dental field. I feel that Dr. Raposo truly honors and upholds the Hippocratic Oath that I see so often lacking in today's world. He extracted my wisdom teeth that were severely impacted, and I was shocked, not only with how smoothly it went for me, but by how quick my healing process was, the entire experience was seamless. It is so nice that when patients, family and friends ask me if I can recommend an oral surgeon, that I have firsthand experience and know they will receive the same outstanding care that Dr. Raposo has provided me.

Oral surgery can be scary to some people! My teenage son had his wisdom teeth extracted by Dr. Raposo and I can say that he is both an amazing surgeon and a thoughtful person. He is highly skilled in his craft and truly cares about getting the best results for his patients. During initial consultations, he takes as much time as needed to thoroughly explain your situation, answer your questions, and develop a mutually acceptable game plan so the care path is clear and there are no surprises. His caring extends to the level of comfort he creates for his patents as evidenced by the numerous options available for sedation and pain mitigation. If you want a surgeon and staff that are truly on their game, you need to go Alpine Valley for top-notch care!

Dr Raposo and Staff were fantastic when treating my 13 year old niece. He did a great job of explaining the procedure and making her (and parents) feel comfortable through the entire process. I would highly recommend Alpine Valley Oral Surgery.
