I went in to have some teeth pulled and Dr. Varhol was amazing. He and his assistant were so caring and made you feel very comfortable. It went really good and I was amazed at how fast it went and no pain at all. I would for sure recommend them for any type of dental surgery.

Two of my sons had their wisdom teeth work done by OMS in Cambridge and now so have I. We all have been really happy with them and the work they do. Very thorough and treat their patients well. Very friendly staff all around. Very straightforward and communicate well and answer any questions or concerns you have. I highly recommend them. Thank you OMS Cambridge for taking care of our family over the years.

I have been to OMS a few times & find them to be very good. The doctors & staff are through & very kind. The doctors call & check up on you to make sure everything is good. I had put off a bad tooth & then it flared & I called to get "fit in" because of the pain & they got me in right away! It was awesome! I would highly recommend OMS for any dental work your regular dentist cannot do.

I have had a long and difficult dental road the last 10 years. I needed an emergency extraction, and not only did they get me on the schedule the following day, the care I received was better than any care I've ever received at a dental office. My procedure was pain free despite complications, and they treated me with care every second of the way. I would definitely recommend OMS to anyone in need of dental care!

We drove from Cloquet to Cambridge for my daughter's appointment and it was so worth it. The staff was amazing. They kept us well informed as to what was happening and what to expect after. They had very almost no wait time and we were in an out within and hour for wisdom teeth removal. Thank you again for making our experience comfortable.

Just got off the phone with the Dr. that did my extraction. I have never recieved a call the same day, after hours, following an extraction. This level of treatment goes to show that the staff and doctors of this practice actually care about their patients and their well being. During my time there the staff was professional and made me feel comfortable. This was the first and only tooth extraction that was truly painless and even the pressure I was told I would feel was extremely minimal to no existant. If the world had more doctors like Dr. Johnson, there would never be a phobia of dental care. Dr. Johnson and the staff of OMS are hands down the place to see for an extraction, and I look forward to working with them again for the implant. The doctor and his staff made this one of the most pleasant, unpleasant things I've had to do. So, if you need the care, go here, and you will have zero regrets.

They didn't give me any medicine when they removed my wisdom tooth. What kind of place would do that. I am dying of pain
