Wonderful and efficient staff.Dr.Weiskopf is excellent.My confidence in him calmed my anxiety about the procedure.His call the check on me the night after my surgery really meant alot to ne.
Got an apicoectomy and wisdom tooth removal. My surgeon was extremely forthcoming and knowledgeable at my consultation. The surgery went smooth and the aftercare was wonderful. Any questions we had both before and after were taken seriously and no matter how small were addressed with patience and care.
Dr. Wesikopf and his staff were so informative and helpful through the process of my wisdom teeth removal. Savannah was extremely helpful in regards to talking to me and helping me to relax before the surgery and answering any questions I had. The entire process was extremely quick and Dr. Wesikopf called and checked on me after my surgery. I highly recommend this institution for any Oral surgeries needed!
Dr. Weiskopf and his team are the BEST they are so caring and excellent care. I would highly recommend them.
