Office Consultation Review
Extremely professional and caring environment on all levels. Front office staff extremely pleasant and efficient. Amazingly thorough in research and review of my insurance concerns and excellent in explaining breakdown of procedure costs and coverage.Dr. Oakley communicated his analysis of my dental situation and then proceeded to explain how he would surgically address the dental issue. He did so in a manner that allowed me to visualize and comprehend the procedure and understand at level that made me feel educated and confident. He provided time for me to present any questions and concerns and responded in direct and engaging manner. At all level’s, Dr. Oakley’s practice exceeded any medical experience I’ve encountered in decades. Highly recommend.

Great experience
I was very pleased with this office overall. The medical assistants were pleasant and very helpful. Dr. Oakley himself was a delight. I feel very comfortable with him doing my extraction.

Highly recommend
I highly recommend Oakley Oral Surgery! I had a tooth that had cracked that needed to be extracted and then after reviewing my options for the tooth replacement, I decided to go with an implant and crown. Dr. Oakley and his staff helped me through the entire process. I have high anxiety associated with dental work and I was able to use anesthesia for the tooth extraction and then again for the implant and it was great! The care and expertise I received was wonderful!! I felt very secure in knowing that I was in good hands!

Had a cracked tooth removed and prep completed for tooth implant. My experience was fast, efficient, and pain free. Visit took less than 45 minutes.

First appointment went well
Dr. Oakley is a high-energy guy, and he told me a lot in a short time about my surgery. I was not referred to him, just randomly found him, so don't know anything about him. But for the first consultation, the people were nice, the place is nice (I like having a big window to watch the world from when I'm sitting in the chair waiting). Dr. Oakley seemed very thorough, and confident, and even though he's my first opinion, and doesn't take Medicare or my insurance, I think I will have him do the surgery. Only gave 4 stars instead of 5 because I haven't had the surgery yet; maybe I'll update later. So far, would recommend.

Prompt and professional service, & friendly staff
Both my husband and I have been going to Dr. Oakley for several years. My husband had implants for his complete top teeth, and I have had some oral surgery and one implant. In all cases, Dr. Oakley was very professional and surgeries were very successful. He is always conscientious and makes sure we fully understand whatever surgery or procedure we are having. The staff is always friendly, and there is very little waiting. And there is coffee, tea and water available while you are waiting. :)

A good experience
Dr. Oakley is great, he is kind and explains details. His Staff are wonderful, and helpful Both facilities are very, very nice They are all so compassionate to me. This is important to me because I had horrible dental visits as a child, filled with pain, anxiety, and procedures done without any aids to eliminate pain. None of this applies when I am in the chair with Dr. Oakley and his assistants. Highly reccomend!

Success! I recently had a tooth removed and a bone graft placed...without a hitch! I can honestly say I was not looking forward to the appointment however I have 100% trust and confidence in the skill and talent of Dr. Oakley and his team. The moment you walk in, Amy warmly welcomes you. Heather's clinical expertise is comforting and reassuring. The procedure was seamless and went exactly as planned. You're the man Dr. Oakley! Caroline (Marketing Co-Ordinator) I hope to visit with you at my follow-up appointment.

Dr. Oakley did my dental implant surgery three days ago. I knew finding the right oral surgeon was so important for something as complex as dental implants or all on 4|6. Everything is going really good! The staff and his wife, was very kind and caring, for they knew how nervous I was and really helped to put my mind at ease. Even went up to sonic after my surgery and got me a chocolate milk shake so my stomach would feel better. Thank you!!
