I am very pleased with the services my daughter received from Dr. Standly. He made her feel very comfortable during her oral surgery and she had no pain. He even welcomed me stay in the room the whole time. I was pleasantly shocked, as this is not the norm in the industry. I highly recommend Dr. Standly for services if you are looking for high quality care, a kind professional and a very clean facility.

I had a tooth extracted yesterday, I did great. Dr Childress was so nice, came in and prayed with me before the procedure and checked on me last night by text. I was very impressed with the whole office! I got up this morning thinking I would be swelled and hurting none of the above! I had a great experience! They gave me all the tools and medication that I might need. I did have to go the pharmacy for pain medicine but otherwise all of the other medication was provided at the office for what I think was a cheaper price. It could not of went better.

The staff was amazing and made me feel at ease about my oral surgery. When Dr Childress prayed with me before my surgery I immediately knew I was in good hands! No post op pain nor complications! Best experience ever. Thanks

I really can't find words that would describe my experience. I can say that I was very nervous about my procedure. I do not like needles so again I was very nervous. Jessica began cutting up with me and talking to me as well as the rest of the staff. Dr. Childress came in and said a prayer " I had never witnessed before in my 56 years " the next thing I knew...it was all over. These are some of the finest, caring, loving people that I have ever met. They are my heroes!!!

Staff and Dr Johnson were courteous, professional and very friendly. The doctor asked if he could pray before my procedure, which I accepted with gratitude. The injections were hardly felt and procedure was completed fast, easily and tolerated well!
