The staff was all very friendly and personable. We were there for the initial evaluation and they thoroughly explained the process and pricing. The worst part was the long wait to be seen. We waited 30 min past our appointment time, they were very busy.

Dr Buch is excellent! He is truly an expert in his field and he is very professional! All the staff at Southwest Oral Surgery have their game together! They are super efficient with all their processes, from appointments, communication, reminders, documentation, billing, helping with the insurance, pre and post surgical instructions, and the actual preparation for the procedure and the procedure itself. Additionally, their office is very clean and well laid out. The best doctor and the best staff!

I had to have major surgery on my mouth. All of the pre-op visits from front office to the day of surgery could not have been any better. I highly recommend Dr. Buch and the staff for any of your dental needs. Thank you for making the surgery as easy for me as possible.
