Staff very warm and friendly, welcoming and comfortable! Dr. Kirby Johnson is very knowledgeable, kind and caring - setting a great example for his team. I felt totally cared for with everyone explaining what they were doing step by step. Audrey and Bo and a third assistant in the surgical room were very amazing as they all worked with Dr. Kirby as a team! Thanks so much!

They don't manage their schedules well. I had an appointment that they made with a dentist that wasn't even in that office, so they called weeks later. Now, my rescheduled appointment left me waiting for over an hour and finally left when they said my dentist was still in another surgery and they had "no idea how long it would take". I can handle the bad bedside manner, but this is too much insult to injury. Terrible.

Caring, thorough, professional and great communication/bed side manner. Dr. Kirby Johnson and Taryn were amazing with our very anxious daughter having her wisdom teeth removed. She even got a pint of ice cream to take home! Front desk ladies were extremely helpful and kind too!

Booked an appointment for my wisdom teeth removal and it was quick and easy. They got me right in 2 weeks after being screened and so far recovery has gone even better than expected!

It feels odd gushing about an oral surgeon but k can't help myself. My son has to get his wisdom teeth pulled. From the consultation through surgery to post op, they really go above and beyond to make you feel like you are in good hands. They are upfront about costs and take their time to answer questions...we never felt rushed. They mention multiple times that post care is included in the cost so never to hesitate to call with any questions. I know it's silly to say in light of a big surgery, but honestly, being sent home with a carton of Haagen Daz ice cream was really the cherry on top of an amazing experience. I will recommend this place to everyone I know.

Everything with my implant went very smoothly, better than I expected. A few years ago I had a bad experience in another institution, so I worried. But Dr Peterson and his staff has done an outstanding job. They were also very pleasant and informative during and after the procedure.

I had a surprisingly good time recently when I had a tooth removed by Dr Johnson at OMS because I experienced NO PAiN!! Both Dr Johnson and his assistant,Taryn, were knowledgeable and efficient and I was given all the information I needed to prepare for the surgery and how to care for myself at home. Thank you so much.

I had such an easy and pleasant experience at OMS for the removal of my molar and implant placement. Tom and all the staff and Dr. Sampson and I am sorry I do not recall the assistants names but truly it was a calm and really great experience. I would not hesitate to recommend OMS!

I had two extractions with nitrous oxide and the procedure took about 5 minutes. I felt at ease knowing Dr Sampson's years of experience. Everyone was friendly and caring of my well-being. I would not hesitate to return should a future need arise. Thank you OMS Specialists.
