This was certainly my case as I approached a visit to Doctor Ryan Leonhart knowing I had to have two teeth removed. However, from the moment I stepped through the door, everyone, from the office staff to the technicians to Dr. Leonhart himself, did everything humanly possible to put me at ease. I was treated with patience, kindness, and understanding every step of my visit. The office staff was cordial and efficient, and they explained my procedure and the costs involved thoroughly. The nurses were calming and comforting and went out of their way to make me feel at ease. And Dr. Leonhart himself was a model of what a physician's bedside manner should be. I can honestly say that I don't think that a visit to an oral surgeon could be any less stressful or pain-free than this one. The professionalism of everyone involved was unparalleled in my experience, as was their kindness and concern. Dr. Leonhart even personally called me later that evening to inquire about my welfare. I would give him and South Texas Oral Surgery six stars if it were possible.

A search on Yelp revealed that Villa Dental takes walk-in patients and takes cash or has finance plans available. What's more, this facility is the hands-down the best rated dentist in San Antonio. Well, I'm pleased to say that there's a reason for all that goodwill. We got the earliest appointment available and were impressed from the moment we walked in the door. Unlike a lot of dental practices, the staff seems happy to be there - not dispirited and overworked like many other places. We were taken in on time and I got to observe the practice close to first-hand. The technology used in the X-ray and inner-mouth photography is top-notch and a step above my own dentist. Dr. Staes, as many here state, has a great bedside (chair-side?) manner and takes pains to explain everything. Came back the next day for a painless extraction and a couple of fillings. I can't say enough good things about Villa Dental. In fact, the only negative is that they don't take my dental insurance or I'd be a patient here too!

I get it, no one likes going to the dentist, so an oral surgeon is even more terrifying, right?…read more Not Dr Wert. After another dentist in SA left me with a botched filling, I needed either a root canal or extraction and implant. Since I'm a baby and want as little work as possible, I chose the extraction and implant, since they have a much greater longevity than root canals. I showed up to his office in agony, wanting nothing more than for someone to lop my jaw off. Dr Wert informed me that due to the bad filling, I had infection and he didn't want to cause me more pain by operating on an infected mess (my words, not his). I was sent home with a great supply of pain meds, antibiotics, and valium for my dental fear to take on the procedure date. When I returned for my appointment, I was ushered into a warm procedure room, given a cozy, plush blanket, and they made sure I had music to help me zone out. This was the first dental experience I've had where they truly made sure I was comfortable, with my surroundings and the pain factor. I can honestly say the actual procedure didn't hurt one bit. With each follow up appointment, Dr Wert continued to show great chair side manner, making sure I was pleased with the results and that I wasn't in any pain at all. I can't say it enough: this is by far the best dental experience I've ever had.

Knows exactly what he's doing and gets the job done right. I have never had an issue. His staff is excellent, and there is never a wait for your appointment like some dentists. They are really on the ball. The receptionist gave me some flack for arriving on time for my consultation instead of coming early. I will admit, they had asked me to come early, but I simply couldn't make it. No need for browbeating me over it. As far as the comment about charging $198 for an x-ray, it's true, but you should know your insurance coverage going in. Insurance companies aren't going to cover x-rays at the surgeon when you should have gotten them from your primary dentist beforehand. The $198 is an avoidable cost if you understand your insurance coverage. Dr Wert and his team provide 5 star service. Only giving 4 stars because, one, the dentist chair is worn with old cushioning. Don't need my arse aching while my teeth are being drilled and yanked at, and, two, they never called to follow up after the procedure which is a very common practice.

They provided a thorough billing estimate and set a date for extraction. We arrived shortly before 8am and we were out of the door around 9am!

I remember crying in my then-boyfriend's arms the day before scared I wouldn't wake up. The consultation with Dr. Hernandez was comforting. I asked if I could keep the teeth as a memento but he said no, because the severity of the impaction meant they would not be coming out in once piece. Also, I would not be under partial anesthesia. I would be completely unconscious. That terrified me. Granted, 10 months earlier I had undergone a surgery and was knocked out then, too so I was acquainted with general anesthesia, BUT STILL. When the day arrived my cousin acted as my caretaker. There were no gowns, the room looked like any other dental room. I was hooked up to an IV, told I'd feel something tingly, and before I knew it, I blacked out. (Like with my other surgery, I was like, "I'm just going to rest my eyes a bit while they're still getting ready..." and when I woke up they were done. wtf) I proceeded to text four people about how much I felt like a marshmallow. We picked up my pain pills, and I rested the next few days at my sister's. I lived off tea and protein shakes (and lost about seven pounds, lol) for a few days before a friend of mine took me out to brunch where I ate soft foods slowly. My mouth healed remarkably well and the best part was the surgery was covered by my insurance. I only had a $25 copay and that's it. No additional payments. It was the best decision my dentist ever made for me. Unfortunately I thought the removal would help with my migraines, but my wisdom teeth were not a contributing factor to them. :( But I am glad to have those teeth out, as they could have caused some serious problems.

I decided to have Dr Albright pull my remaining 11 teeth including 2 wisdom teeth so a full set of dentures would be in my future. Dr Albright is an anesthesiologist as well so I was certain pain during procedure would be minimal. As I recall we started at 3:30 PM and I was in a taxi heading to my hotel by 8:30 PM. My mouth was an open sore and the meds I was provided helped me survive the following week. Eventually, the swelling subsided and 2 weeks later, the stitches came out. Dr Albright was supremely confident throughout. I was under time constraints so the choice to get ALL this work done in one sitting was entirely mine. I'll be eternally thankful things went as well as they did. Dr Albright was assisted by his son and they performed admirably.

They were absolutely right. I first called Dr. Verrett's office with a few questions regarding my upcoming wisdom tooth surgery, specifically to confirm whether anesthesia would be available. I will say that the initial information I received was not entirely accurate, particularly the statement that my medical coverage "wouldn't even be looked at," which I knew was incorrect. I'm very glad I trusted my instincts and requested a callback. That decision led me to Heather, who v(to me) she went above and beyond - and i look back at her interactions with me now and i think its just her natural way of being. She was somehow able to fit me in for an in‑office consultation within an hour of returning my call. Choosing to come in person ended up being a complete lifesaver. The in‑office experience immediately put me at ease and relieved so much anxiety. Every question I had was answered thoroughly, and I left the office fully understanding what I would be responsible for financially the following day. I was also relieved to learn that my medical insurance was able to cover a significant portion of the anesthesia. Big shoutout to Cindy as well for helping me understand expectations of next day. I was already extremely nervous that week, but the entire team was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding through every step of the process. I am now seven days post‑surgery after having three wisdom teeth removed, and my recovery has been going very well. I truly can't thank this office enough for the care, support, and reassurance they provided.
