From Our Patients

The ladies in the office were very polite and made it a pleasure to be there. Our surgeon took the time to explain everything and left us feeling comfortable with the up coming procedure. Thank you all for the wonderful service.

Monica C

Dr. Skeegin has so much patience with people like myself whom fear getting dental work done and has high anxiety. He is amazing!

Valarie Vaughn

I was terrified of having my wisdom teeth pulled and the staff and surgeon put me at ease. Great bedside manner.

Mike T

They were able to fit me in for a consult in less than a week. They were professional and friendly.

Audrey J

I had a great experience!! I was extremely nervous. But the staff was super kind. They distracted me while they were putting the IV in and I didn’t pass out or get light headed like I usually do. I’m very grateful for their help! They were also incredibly fast. They did a great job!

Emily H

Had to have 5 teeth pulled. They scheduled me fairly quickly so I didn’t have to be in pain for too long. Got my wisdom teeth and a molar pulled by them. Staff was super friendly and answered all my questions really thoroughly. Staff is really helpful with anxiety and made me feel very comfortable. If I get a fake molar put in will definitely come back.

Jonathan G

Fantastic office starting from front to back. Doctor very nice and explained everything she was doing from start to finish. Highly recommend if you need wisdom tooth out.

Kelly M

I have to say I have been to different dentist in my lifetime and I have never had the kind of service like I have had at both locations, jacksonville and Amelia. From the front desk to the Surgeon, everyone has been so kind and have been patient with me and have answered all my questions. I definitely 100% recommend this Oral Surgeon practice!!!! Thank you for helping a very nervous patient feel ease through this process.

Telisia E
