I recently took my son to South Mississippi Oral surgery and implant center for his wisdom teeth removal, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of care we received. From the initial consultation to the post-operative follow-up call, the entire team was professional, compassionate, and welcoming!
Everyone helped ease any little anxiety my son had about the procedure. Dr. Akers and his nurse explained everything clearly and answered all our questions thoroughly, making us feel comfortable!
The surgery went smoothly, and the recovery process has been much easier than we anticipated so far! I highly recommend Mississippi Oral surgery and implant center to anyone needing oral surgery. I feel they truly go above and beyond to provide exceptional care!
