As a practice, we are true believers that preventative care and education are the keys to optimal dental health. That is why we focus on thorough exams checking the overall health of your teeth and gums, performing oral cancer exams, and taking digital x-rays. A review of your medical history provided by your general dentist can help us stay informed of your overall health and we will instruct you on preparation prior to surgery.

Infection control in our office is also very important to us. To protect our patients and ourselves, we strictly maintain sterilization and cross contamination processes using standards recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).

Building a foundation of trust by treating our patients as special individuals is vital to our success. We understand how uneasy some patients may feel about their dental visits, and how we can make a difference in providing a relaxing and positive experience. Our entire team is dedicated to providing you with excellent, personalized care and service to make your visits as comfortable and pleasant as possible.

Working for Dr. Schwarz for over 19 years has been such a blessing. The people I work with are like my second family. It has been so rewarding to see our VOMS family continue to grow.The knowledge that Dr. Schwarz has is so valuable to our community. Our patients are loved and well taken care of by our whole team. I look forward to many more years with Valley OMS.

I have worked for Valley OMS since 2006. I am a treatment coordinator and primarily responsible for patient education. I am also the coordinator for Seattle Study Club of South Texas, which is led by Dr. Schwarz.

I have been a part of the Valley OMS family since 1992. I am so blessed to have cultivated amazing long-term relationships with my coworkers/friends and have learned so much from my experience here. Outside of the office, I am a busy mom to a daughter who enjoys basketball and love spending time with my family. I am also involved in my church as a volunteer in our First Impressions Team and small groups ministry. Working at Valley OMS enriches my day; I am happy to be part of a growing practice that puts effort into educating and caring for our patients.

Over the last eight years, I have been a member of this exceptional team; it has been a constant learning experience. I have blossomed and am currently the head receptionist and work with our insurance and billing department. I am blessed with a loving spouse and five amazing kids. We live in Edinburg, Texas. I love spending time with my family, and look forward to our weekends together jet skiing, fishing at the beach, and especially barbecuing on football weekends. My motto to them and myself has always been to treat others as you wish to be treated. I apply this motto here at Valley OMS, where I strive to attend to our patients with love, kindness and respect.

I have been a part of the Valley OMS team since 2016. My responsibilities consist of scheduling, creating treatment plans, and receiving payment for treatment being administered. Working for Dr. Schwarz and alongside this team does not feel like a job, but a family coming together to create a safe space for our patients.

I have been at Valley OMS since 2006. VOMS has a special place in my heart, it has brought me blessings, lessons and special people into my life. We are kind, we are joyful and we care for our patients. These are traits Dr. Schwarz has instilled not only into this practice but onto me personally.

I have been a surgical assistant at Valley OMS since 2001 and its been a great learning experience for me. Im very grateful to be part of an amazing team (more like a family) with such a great boss, Dr. Schwarz. I enjoy spending time with my family and painting in my spare time.

I have worked 18 years for Valley OMS and we all work together like one big family. I enjoy helping and taking care of patients. I see Dr. Schwarz as a strong leader and mentor for all of us and he presents a hands on work ethic which is very inspiring.

I began in 2021 at Valley OMS and have enjoyed every second of it. A few of my hobbies include spending time with my family, or relaxing at home watching anime shows. As my first job as an RDA, I feel grateful to be part of such an amazing team. I love the knowledge and experience I am able to gain from amazing staff and Doctors.

I have worked for Valley OMS since 2018. Some of my hobbies are; reading, listening to music, and watching/listening to true crime podcasts and docuseries. What I like about working at Valley OMS is that it feels like youre working with family, and you create bonds that are for a lifetime.

I am a registered dental assistant. In 2021, I became a part of VOMS family. Some hobbies that I enjoy doing are: going to the gym to focus on my fitness, spending time with my family and spending time outdoors. What I love about working at VOMS is diversity. We have so many amazing patients coming to our office and people working in our office. I love working with patients of all ages along with their unique different health issues that may come at hand. I enjoy working with all my colleagues at VOMS; we each have our own characteristics that sets us apart but we come together as a team. This is what I love about VOMS!

I am a Registered Dental Assistant with Valley OMS since 2021. My Hobbies include: Reading, watching movies and anime, video games. Valley OMS is agreat atmosphere. Everyone is kind and respectful and there is always something to learn every day.

Working at VOMS is like no other experience. Ive had to transition from dental cleanings to preventive implant care and use of ND: Yag laser. My favorite part of working at VOMS is the patient care.I greatly enjoy helping transform patients smiles. Making sure each patient I see has a great experience makes all the difference to me.

On my spare time I enjoy baking. My favorite cakes have got to be making Wedding and Quinceanera cakes. To me a cake is like my canvas where I can get as creative as the occasion calls for. I love paying attention to detail which I feel makes me a great baker and a great hygienist. I cant wait to see you in our office.

I have been employed with Valley OMS collectively for 13 years. I enjoy reading theology, spending time with my kids and my husband. I love TV shows and travel. Psalm 51 is my go to prayer and I pray everyone I meet leave better about themselves & practice to be kind.

I'm the most nervous panicked person ever, and I had 3 wisdom teeth pulled so I was scared. But everyone was very nice and made me feel at peace compared to any other place I've been to! I loved Dr Gary, he's definitely one of my favorites and I've been to a lot of doctors/dentists lol. He was very gentle, kind and friendly:) didn't feel a thing when he put my iv needle in! I was surprised cause I've had to get my blood drawn or ivs a lot from multiple doctors and most of them hurt or something, so I was honestly really surprised! I hate needles. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone that needs it

I Had an appt. and was told my insurance would cover my visit, one week before my appt. I go to the appt. got called to the back waited for the nurse to review my xrays that were sent over. Got called to the financial person there they told me my insurance wouldn't cover the visit. So had to pay $ lots of money for the procedure. I told them I didn't have that kind of money. And they charged me $100+ for the visit. When nothing was done. Ridiculous, when the error was on them. Money and time wasted.

soon as I walked in the lights were down...so basically going to have to reschedule whatever. they were trying to overcharge me on my visit. Went in for a consultation on wisdom teeth and they were trying to say I needed x-rays when I had already had them emailed to them the day before. Very unprofessional for them to do that. On top of that the ladies were on there phones on Facebook....lol seriously??? And they didn't even book me another reschedule after I said Monday I couldn't. Very frustrating when you're in pain......do not recommend

Went in as a walk in and was very nervous and scared. Walked out as a happy camper after 2 extractions! Dr. said, you will be impressed with the work, and yes I was! I did have to wait (totally understandable being a walk in) but i was amazed that I was seen pretty quickly. The procedure itself was short and sweet. Definitely will recommend to others and visit again for any future issues.
