Testimonials
What our clients say
Dr. Awalt came highly recommended by my dentist and for good reason. Dr. Awalt performed surgery for an implant tooth a year or so ago. Everything went well, no issues at all. More recently, I had to have a sinus lift and bone graft for another implant. I was very apprehensive because this was a more involved procedure. Prior to the surgery I had a lot of questions about the cost and insurance co-pays, etc. and Dr. Awalt’s staff members were so helpful and patient and really went the extra mile to explain the costs of each phase. On the day of the surgery I was so nervous! Dr. Awalt was so kind to me, and her staff really helped to calm me down, too. Dr. Awalt did an amazing job once again and I have had a very smooth recovery. If I could give 100 stars it wouldn’t be enough! Thank you, Dr. Awalt and staff for your incredible compassion and patient care!

This was my first visit. The office was clean and everyone was professional, not to mention the staff help eased my nerves. I had a tooth infected and part of the tooth was still up in my gum. No pain afterwards. I even received a call later that evening to check on me. I would highly recommend this office.

Bethany (Dr. Awalt) recently extracted my infected molar. Her office got me in for an appointment quickly. Bethany listened to me and answered all my questions. She performed the extraction after administering a local anesthetic; it was completely painless. She has a great manner and great hands. She also did a socket preservation for me. She followed-up with a phone call that evening to make sure I was O.K. I highly recommend her for oral surgery.

Dr. Awalt was very professional and caring. She explained everything thoroughly to my daughter as well as myself. My daughter was very nervous and she made her feel very comfortable. I would recommend Dr. Awalt’s to everyone that I know who needs an oral surgeon. Did I mention that her staff was very professional and caring as well. They rock!!! My daughter had all 4 of her wisdom teeth taking out on her 17th birthday. They even decorated the room for her. Forever grateful
