Despite seeing several negative review for Dr. Fonner's office, I had a great experience. Upon entering the building, the facilities were pleasing to the eye, and the staff at the front desk was warm and welcoming to me. They sent out a packet to me prior and followed up days before with any questions I may have. They got me in earlier than expected, so that was great. While in the chair, I spoke with the Dr.

Fonner, and his assistants were helpful. Procedure was relatively painless, and the day after, they followed up via phone to check on me. I called back with on the second day with some questions, which were answered promptly. All in all, a great experience. Thanks, Dr. Fonner and Staff!

I had 4 wisdom teeth removed here 2 years ago. Prior to the surgery I informed Dr of my history with medication that would require a deeper dose of anesthesia to work on me. He didn’t listen because I woke up during the procedure.

More than that, there was very little communication and I’ve had lasting jaw pain since. Before choosing this place, consider if it’s worth a future of chronic jaw pain.

Had a lot of issues with this place. Starts with being lied to about a couple different things leading up to my first appointment. There was also a lack of communication. I wasn't told anything. Nothing was explained, I was treated as if I already knew everything. He was also very unprofessional. His attitude towards my reactions of pain like it was annoying him. Appointment ended only being half done with my teeth removal.

I was never told I would have to pay a second time for the second appointment since I already paid. Months before I could get back in to finish it up. My scheduled time wasn't reserved for me despite being told I had until the end of the week to let them know if I could make it. I've been slurring my words ever since the last appointment so I don't know if something went wrong or what. Avoid this place. Oh but I barely had any pain after both appointments so uh, 1. 1/5 Stars.

I had an emergency dental issue, a tooth injury on Easter & was in severe pain. My normal dentist was on vacation so I privately messaged Dr Fonner & asked if he could help me & he said he would. It took a little while to get me in as I had never been there & they needed some medical records which I thought was a reasonable delay. I was never treated awful as some of these other comments suggest.

Nor did I experience a lack of compassion, exactly the opposite, I had a good experience, & they made sure I felt nothing. I sincerely appreciate the accommodation & for helping me in a bind. I have the relief from the pain I was enduring & I am very grateful for that. Thank you 🙏🏼
