Sexton Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Reviews
First off, huge thank you to Dr. Russ. Couldn’t be happier to have had him as my Doctor. Everyone there was amazing and made it a lot less nerve racking. Getting 4 wisdom teeth pulled isn’t something easy to stomach depending on what kind of person you are but, their professional attitude and knowledge made it 10 times easier to get through the process.
Dr. Weiskopf’s gifted demeanor radiates with professionalism, kindness, gentleness, and a caring spirit. He explained my treatment plan thoroughly and eased my concerns. His staff mirror him!
Dr. Weiskopt is amazing!!! Coming in the lady in the front was very nice and helpful. Once my daughter went to the back, Savannah explained everything, comfort my daughter, and was juat simply amazing! I was expecting to be there like 45 mins but he did the procedure withing like 10 mins! She ia doing well, not having any problems. She loved the whole experience! I totally recommend to see a professional surgeon like Dr. Weiskopt!! ☺️🙏♥️
This was a wonderful experience which Incant believe I am saying after having my wisdom teeth removed. Not only was everyone friendly and all my appointments were on time but the care i received was more than expected. I woke up the nexr day after having all 4 wisdom teeth removed saying if someone told me it waa a dream and i did not have them removed yesterday i would believe them. Highlt recommend.
Great experience from beginning to end with my son's surgery.
