Traveled from Duluth MN to come to OMS Specialists. They did my wisdom teeth removal and was very comfortable even though I was nervous. Had a very good experience and would highly recommend them.

The extraction itself was a pain in the rump, but my tooth is blamed for that. They were quick, prompt and effective. I take blood thinners, so there was some concern about bleeding, but they stitched it tight and all bleeding had stopped when I woke the next morning (extraction 2:00 pm the previous day)

OMS went out of their way to create the best treatment plan and approach to the teeth being pulled. Also called later in the day to check in. 100% would recommend them for pediatric care.

I very much hate going to the dentist. So imagine what I thought about going to OMS for dental surgery. To my surprise, it was not bad at all. Dr Tyler Varhol did an excellent job. He was able to do the extraction and implant with little or no pain. I will highly recommend him and OMS to all my friends and family.

I was just in to have a tooth removed, and while the scheduling was a bit far out and slightly inconvenient, The whole process of my appointment was honestly the easiest and quickest dental procedure I've ever had.

Great Experience! Staff was kind, accommodating and explained thoroughly what was going to happen. Even got a call from the doctor himself to check on his patient later that evening!

Had my wisdom teeth out here at OMS Specialists in Blaine about a week ago. Everyone there made this process extremely easy! From scheduling my consult to post op. check-ins. I felt extremely cared for and everything about the whole process was communicated to me extremely well. Dr. Johnson is great!! Would absolutely recommend OMS Specialists in Blaine!

My son had an excellent experience at this office. We met with several different surgeons to discuss his procedure. This office was markedly different. They gave us more information about the procedure and post op care than anyone else. They took the time to answer any and all questions that we had. They also worked with our insurance the day of and we were informed of our expenses and when they were due. Dr. Johnson and his assistants are wonderful. From the consultation, to the surgery, to the post operative care, we felt cared for, informed, and had a clear way to communicate if we had any issues. Dr. Johnson even called himself the evening after the surgery to check and see how he was doing. After the procedure, he thanked us. When I called with some questions the next day, I was immediately connected with someone who was able to answer our questions. I would recommend this office to anyone based upon the type of service, care, and attention we received. Grateful.
