Dr Carey did an incredible job with my sons dental implant. They were quick, efficient, and really nice. The staff was really knowledgeable and understanding and explained everything to me really well (I am not medical at all....so that can be a feat sometimes!). I can not recommend them strongly enough, they're great!

GREATLY accommodated my personal needs! I was not in the surgery room long before Dr. Carey and Jackie realized general local anesthetic was not going to be enough to calm me for the extraction. He rescheduled me for that very afternoon and gave me sedation. Jackie was so friendly, calming and professional. The entire staff was so friendly and understanding. It was the BEST experience it could have been.

I'm a repeat patient and am still pleased with the care I received from Dr. Carey and his staff. This trip was more "industrial strength" than before but his care was professional and quick. I would trust him with any type of oral dentistry care.

Dr. Carey & his team are truly wonderful & really know their business. Professional in every aspect & make a tough situation doable & pleasant. It's never easy having oral surgery but if you need to have it, Dr. Carey & Team are the place to go. Highly recommended.

I had my wisdom teeth extracted here and I must say they made the process as painless as possible. I was informed of the cost of the procedure two weeks in advance and during the appointment, everyone from the reception area to the nurses were incredibly kind and supportive! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

My husband and I had an INCREDIBLE experience with Dr Carey and his team. From the consultation, to the customer service, to the actual day of surgery, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We HIGHLY recommend this team for the care they provide for their patients. My husband had his wisdom teeth removed and we were having issues with getting in contact with our insurance. Well let me tell you, a member of their team (I can't remember her name and I wish I did) stayed on HOLD with our insurance for over an HOUR?! Who else do you know would care enough to try and resolve an issue and have to be on hold for that long? Not many, that's for sure. They were so helpful in guiding us through the whole process, and truly bent over backwards for us. I'm so thankful for their team and we will be referring our friends to them in the future. Thank you Dr. Carey and team!!!

We came to Dr. Carey to have my daughter's wisdom teeth removed on a recommendation of a friend. I was able to schedule the consultation and have the surgery completed within 3 weeks. The staff is professional and courteous. Dr. Carey is personable, helping my daughter feel at ease. He is also a skilled surgeon. She had no problems at all through surgery and recovery.

Obviously this place has great reviews as you can see, but my experience was not quite the same. The doctor was friendly, and most of the staff..but both times I've been here, the same front desk assistant was VERY rude to me. I believe her name was Kim. When. She first walked in and asked how I was, I had responded that I had been better to which she replied, "Ok good." I'm sorry but it just doesnt sit right with me when someone greets me and isnt even asking how I am genuinely..she was pretty much just being a robot. Secondly as I am proceeding to check out, i was informed of the total for the consultation. I then mentioned something about being able to get some kind of financing because when I originally called, someone said that they would talk to me about it once I got there. Well obviously that was false because if looks could kill, you should have seen the look on her face, like I was absolutely crazy. And I certainly didnt appreciate her tone. Well apparently between that and also having an issue with what a consultation price was (110 dollars), I was honestly disgusted. The doctor didnt even take a current x ray and went based off of 1 from September...which he should have taken a new one bc the tooth was significantly worse and ive also been having significant pain in my jaw as well. So apparently if I tell them that I think the price is ridiculous then I'm causing a scene I was told. Sorry but I am allowed an opinion and when a doctor tries to discipline me, a 31 year old mother...well I say you can keep your opinion to yourself I'll go somewhere else. I specifically told him i only could afford 2 of the wisdom teeth to be pulled and he still put all three down which made me have to wait another day for him to change it and find me an appt. He may be friendly but it just sounds like all he wants is to make more money even after what I told him. Not to mention I had also said that I'd been eating ibuprofen and tylenol like candy bc it stopped helping really. Last time I had teeth pulled I was given something for pain and also antibiotics befor surgery..and then a refill of pain meds after. Something told me I should have gone back to that doctor, and I surely am as I've already made the appt. Either way if you have an opinion of your own and tend to speak it. Then stay away from here. You'll be talked to like a reprimanded child.

Was referred by Dr. John Kirby to have three wisdom teeth pulled and a panoramic x-ray, the staff did an excellent job of sending multiple reminders to schedule the appointment, and they make the online paperwork quick and convenient to limit weight times. They follow all procedures for Covid safety, and was able to schedule an appointment upon calling one week out in advance.

My 18 year old son has extreme anxiety stemming from an autism spectrum disorder. After thoroughly researching many oral surgeons in my area, Dr. Carey stood out to me. From the front desk to checkout and his charming and funny demeanor with my son, he was an answer to our prayer. My son is recovering today and was shocked himself at how awesome his experience was. I could not have chosen better. God definitely went ahead of us on this one. Wisdom teeth done! Thank you Dr. Carey!

My 18 year old son had his wisdom teeth removed here. Very friendly staff. No pain or problems post op either and good follow up from the nurses. Our youngest son will be getting his wisdom teeth removed here as well when the time comes.

Dr. Carey, the staff, and the nurses were wonderful! I had my wisdom teeth extracted, and I was very nervous about it, but they helped me calm down and assured me that I had nothing to worry about. Everyone was very friendly, and I would highly recommend them.
