Thank you Dr. Silegy and your wonderful staff for making my sons wisdom teeth extractions as quick and painless as possible. Everything from the initial consultation up to the procedure went as smooth as possible. Very knowledgeable, friendly and professional staff. Highly recommend.

unimpressed! had a consultation 3 weeks ago to place an implant, paid 1/2 in cash in advance, showed up for part 1 of 2 parts procedure, immediately hit with paperwork indicating the crown is not included in the procedure, the crown or lack thereof should have been discussed openly and transparently by Silegy or staff during the consultation ( 3 weeks ago) to insure I was aware with the "implant only" service (no crown included) in order for me to make an informed decision prior to procedure. They wasted my time and their time due to a lack of communication, integrity and professionalism IMHO . P.S. A full refund was issued and I will go elsewhere

I am one of those people that have a complete irrational fear of the dentist. Cold sweats, tears, etc. This place made me feel so comfortable the whole time and the staff could not have been nicer. Highly recommend!

Everyone at Dr Silegy's office treated me with skill and kindness. Dr Silegy operated on my jaw and I am confident he did a great job. He personally called to check on me the following day. He coordinated with my oncologist.

If we can give 10 more stars, we would! Dr. Silegy is AMAZING! we were so worried about finding an oral surgeon to remove my son's impacted wisdoms teeth. We went to see 4 oral surgeons before going with Dr. Silegy and we are SO glad we did. He knew exactly what to do and executed his plan perfectly. He was amazingly fast. My son got the procedure on Friday morning at 830am and was able to go to school on Monday without any problems. Very minimal swelling or pain after the procedure. We can't thank Dr. Silegy and his friendly staff. We would highly recommend Dr. Silegy without any hesitation.

Dr. Silegy and his team are absolutely amazing! I was referred here by my primary dentist for a wisdom tooth extraction and my experience was as pleasant as a tooth extraction can be. Dr. Silegy and his team treat their patients with care and compassion and I highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of the services they offer.

Dr. Silegy and his staff were so amazing! I can't even begin to explain how welcoming and kind everyone was. I have been putting off getting an implant and Dr. Silegy made the process so much easier than I could have expected. I could not recommend a better office!!!

I love him! And he has a great team, I was pretty nervous about getting my wisdom removed but I'm happy my dentist referred me to him. I wish he did basic dental work because I would definitely go to him.

Excellent customer service. I allowed several hours for my tooth extraction and it was fast and painless. Because of the after care discussion, I have had no discomfort. Great service.

The staff and doctor himself were absolutely delightful. They made sure that my son (11) and I knew exactly what to expect the entire time. The process was quick and his pain so minimal that he only needed Motrin 1 time per day for the first 4 days after his extraction! I would definitely recommend this office and Dr Silegy.

The skilled surgeon (Dr. Silegy) and friendly kind staff made for a positive surgery experience! I highly recommend sedation as I didn't even know my teeth were out until I awoke! The detailed instructions made for a speedy recovery! I couldn't be more pleased knowing I was in good hands with Dr. Silegy and his caring team!

I have been putting my wisdom tooth extraction for years, but so glad I went to Dr. Silegy when I finally did. I had minimal swelling, no pain and an overall excellent experience. Also, RoseMarie was so calming with my anxiety beforehand. I could not recommend this practice enough!
