Our Patients Say

Carol K.

Very nice staff and doctor. I'm a very anxious person, but Dr. Bohannan really was kind, gentle, and made me feel at ease. I will go back after my medical clearance to have 2 broken teeth extracted.

Dr. Bohannan did an excellent job on my oral surgery and follow-up care! In the consultation appointment, he explained the need for the surgery and what was to be expected very well. He also gave me very clear pre- and post-surgery instructions verbally and in writing. He is very thorough. Surgery went very well and again, he explained post-surgical expectations to my relative who picked me up. The staff have been very positive and professional as well! Dr. Bohannan is a highly-skilled and dedicated oral surgeon! He cares (and together with his kind staff) provides the best possible service to his patients.
