My husband has sleep apnea and is a cardiac patient or this would not be so important. We were referred by our PCM for a mouth appliance to help because he cannot adjust to the CPAP. We knew this was not going to be paid for by TriCare or Delta Dental. (Yes, he's a Hero) but after paying $6,000, Dr. Doles honestly advised him to be fitted for an "older" model - no further cost. After this fitting Dr.

Doles advised him to be under the care of his dentist to watch for a very likely movement of his lower jaw into a underbite position. The Dentist declined responsibility and referred him to an Orthodontist who (after more x-ray and studies and a consult with Dr. Doles) advised braces for up to 2 years and Oral surgery (Yes, back to Dr. Doles) oh, and about $3,000 more. This time, PCM requested authorization, and we have it to be seen by Dr. Doles.

So, I'll update as we progress. The orthodontist estimates he will be ready for jaw surgery by October 2017. Hoping some of the $6k will be taken into consideration by Dr. Doles. A lot of money to spend out of pocket for retainers that could not be utilized. I will post updates!

Dr Doles and his staff were amazing. Had to go in for an emergency extraction. Everything went smooth. I would recommend Dr Doles. I also will use him in the future for any oral surgeries I may need.

If they weren't extracting my wisdom tooth, it would have been a party! I cannot say enough positive things about these people. Dr. Doles came in and sat and chatted with me like an old friend, when I had a spur of the moment extraction, the dental assistants were there with jokes and stories and even a hand hold to try and put me at ease. I'm pretty sure they all stayed late to operate on me because I was in pain, which I appreciate so much, but I'm not even sure because nobody complained or made me feel like an inconvenience at all.

I would recommend them to anybody. There is absolutely no other place that could make a wisdom tooth extraction such a pleasant and positive experience. Thank you!!

Dr...Doles and his staff are wonderful! I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed (way later than I should have) two of which were very difficult. My bottom two had their roots wrapped around facial nerves. They performed the surgery quickly, but carefully and made sure I had the least amount of pain possible post op. I would recommend this team any day of the week!
