Tennessee Valley Oral Surgery PLLC

First, let me begin by saying if you ever need any type of oral surgery Dr. Kelsey Laporte is your girl! My daughter has been a patient for three years. Our story is a lengthy one. My daughter has been under the care of an orthodontist and dentist since she was three. We have had wonderful professionals but none compare to Dr. Laporte and her staff. She is knowledgeable, kind, compassionate, honest and treated my child, like she was her child.

Dr. Laporte was by my side before and after the surgery. She answered my questions, dried my tears and responded to every call and text. We could not be happier with the outcome. She has given my daughter a pain free world with excessive confidence! Her staff is as top notch as she is! It is the most efficient, clean, well managed office! Their slogan is …. Where we treat you like family, that’s exactly what they did…. Treated us like family!

My son was brought out to my car after having his wisdom teeth removed not able to follow instructions and hallucinating. The attendant tried multiple times to try to stand him up to get him in my car, even though he was minimally responsive. I had to insist that he was taken back inside because something was not right. Once inside,the attendant made several attempts to move him from the wheelchair to the dental chair even though he still was not aware of anything going on and could not hold up his head. Again, I had to tell her to stop.

I was very concerned about my child’s safety. The doctor has to come into the room and give him two “reversal” injections. It took at least 20 more minutes before he was able to sit up and follow instructions and 5-10 more minutes for him to be alert enough to stand up and walk with assistance.

TN Valley Oral Surgery was amazing! I have an extreme fear of dentist due to bad past experiences but I think this establishment might have helped me undo that fear. Their entire staff was a delight and they made me laugh and have a great time. I wasn’t expecting to be able to smile at all past the tears but they helped me to feel so comfortable and happy to trust them.

I read something that said being in that chair while having dentistry work done on you, it requires submission. And I’ve always had a hard time trusting people, but this place is so special because everyone was kind. The biggest part of all of this is that they fit me in! I didn’t have an appointment scheduled but had to have an emergency tooth extraction and not one of them ever treated me like “let’s fit her in to our busy schedule”.

They treated me as though I was important and they truly cared about me. They were so amazing in every way and if I ever need anything else done I will absolutely be going here!!

Dr. Read is tha absolute BEST oral surgeon out there. He did an amazing job with my daughter on Friday 6/20/2025! His assistant Haley D. Took the absolute best care of my baby for such a drastic surgery at such a young age. My daughter felt secure and comfortable with Haley. Brooke W. made sure we had everything we needed before, during and after the big day.

My daughter was checked on by Dr. Read personally, Brooke personally checked on her as well. It was a tough surgery and they made everything as comfortable as possible. I am beyond grateful for everyone involved with taking care of my baby. Thank you so much. You all are truly appreciated
