As someone who's been anxious about dental procedures, I was really impressed with my visit. The staff were exceptionally friendly and went out of their way to ensure I was comfortable. Dr. Howerton himself was incredible—he explained everything in a way that made the process feel much less daunting. I had a wisdom tooth extraction, and surprisingly, I experienced minimal pain afterward thanks to his expertise. The recovery instructions were clear and easy to follow, which helped me heal quickly. One minor issue I encountered was the wait time; I arrived early for my appointment but still ended up sitting for about 20 minutes before being seen. However, the quality of care made it worth the wait. If you’re looking for an oral surgeon who truly cares, this is the place to go!

Had my wisdom teeth removed here last week, and I was impressed by the professionalism of the entire staff. Dr. Howerton's expertise really shone through, as he made the whole process straightforward and stress-free. The recovery was smoother than I expected. Just a small note: it would be great if they had some magazines or entertainment options in the waiting room to pass the time. Overall, a highly skilled surgeon and a very competent team!

I recently had an extraction done, and I must say, I’m really pleased with my experience. The atmosphere in the office is calming, which made me less nervous. Dr. Howerton was attentive and took the time to answer all my questions, which I appreciated. The procedure itself was quick and painless, and I was given thorough aftercare instructions. I was a bit surprised that I didn't receive a follow-up call to check on my recovery, which I found helpful in past experiences. Still, the level of professionalism and care from the team made a significant difference in my comfort. I’d definitely recommend this practice to anyone needing oral surgery!

I can't recommend this oral surgeon enough! From the moment I walked into the office, I was met with a warm atmosphere and a friendly staff that made me feel at ease. Dr. Howerton took the time to explain the procedure I needed in detail, addressing all my concerns with patience. The surgery itself went smoothly, and I was pleasantly surprised by how well I felt afterward. The follow-up care has been excellent, with the team always available to answer any questions I had. The office is clean and well-maintained, which added to my confidence in their services. My only suggestion would be to have more signage outside to help locate the entrance, as I initially had a bit of trouble finding it. Overall, a fantastic experience that exceeded my expectations!
