I went to Dr Doctura with massive fears and anxieties about having extractions done. I had extremely bad and painful previous experiences with other dentists, and was quite fearful and anxious to go through any procedures again. This time I had very little choice but to have it done. His staff was quite professional, and compassionate, and assured me that "it will be just fine". That statement is in quotation marks because I have heard that many times before by others. The day came, and I was still quite anxious....couldn't sleep the night before. I arrived, the moment came for the procedure, and Dr Doctora came in..... We were using light sedation, and he assured me again that things will be fine. If I wanted him to stop at any time, ...he would. He took things quietly and slowly, and talked to me the whole time. Before I knew it, it was done, and I felt just fine. I had a little discomfort later on when the novacaine wore off, but it was minimal. (I used an ice pack, and it was fine) Minimal pain, less than minimal bleeding, and pretty much back to normal activities later on that day. I have received 2 followup phone calls to see how I was doing. This is a truly professional operation, with a most capable, and caring staff and leader. He and his staff eased the heart and mind of an old lady with strong fears and anxieties, and for that in and of itself, I am most grateful, and will never forget the caring and supportive mindset of all concerned. read more

Who wants to get a tooth pulled? No, it's not the most desirable thing, so who does the procedure, and how and where it's done, certainly contributes to the overall experience, albeit a stressful one. I was referred to Dr. J.D., so I never had met him or his staff. What a great experience. The receptionists were kind and informative- explaining clearly any of my questions concerning my bill and post-surgical issues. Dr. Doctora was personable and professional, making me feel he was fully engaged with my case, even though it was my first visit to his office. I felt very confident in Dr. Joe and his assistants long before the extraction began. Later that day, I was surprised to receive a follow-up call from Dr. Doctora personally just checking on my status ( I missed it....I was in recovery mode); a rare exemplification of patient centered medicine in today's medical situate. Though I certainly hope that my dental health doesn't require another surgical visit to Dr. Doctora, I would certainly return for any such procedure, as well as highly recommend his services. read more

I visited Dr. Joe upon the referral of my dentist to have a root canal tooth extracted. My understanding was that it is common for a root canal tooth to break during an extraction, and I was obviously nervous about this going in. I was at Dr. Joe's practice for just under 45 minutes. I was amply numbed up (locally) and felt no pain. The discomfort was mild and brief. Before I knew it, I hear "Okay, we're done" and I was in the car driving home. I didn't need to get the pain med script filled because I didn't need them. That evening I got a call from him asking if I was okay. A week later I received a text asking how I was healing. I highly recommend Dr. Joe if you are looking for a kind, competent and professional oral surgeon. It's refreshing to receive this level of service nowadays. (Oh... the tooth did indeed break. I had no idea until after the procedure!) read more

Upon recommendation from a dentist, I visited Dr Joe Doctora's Smyrna office, having had prolonged issues with my wisdom teeth and required surgery. It turned out to be an excellent recommendation, as the entire procedure was first class, from start to finish. The staff were caring and excellent overall in handling my case. Then Dr Doctora did an excellent job, removing 4 wisdom teeth, as though nothing happened. It's been just over two weeks since the surgery, and everything is feeling normal with me. The healing has been very quick, and Dr Joe Doctora continued to be in touch, following up on my recovery. I am very grateful to the dentist who recommended this place and to Dr Joe Doctora and the entire staff at the Smyrna office. Above all, to God be the glory, great things He has done!

When my husband needed to have a number of complicated tooth extractions, Dr. Joe was recommended to us by our local dentist even though it meant an hour's drive to his office. The trip was worth the time and effort as the dental procedure was painless using only a local anesthetic, and incredibly quick with a subsequent quick recovery. Consequently, later, when my need arose two different times for similar extensive procedures, I had so much confidence and trust in Dr. Joe's incredible skills that I would not consider going to any other oral surgeon. Both my husband and I highly recommend Dr. Joe along with his highly professional and cheerful staff because of how satisfied we have been with our considerable experiences in their qualified hands. read more

Dr. Doctora and staff were wonderful. I went in or a wisdom tooth extraction. I take a holistic approach when it comes to dental health, and I opted to not be put under, and instead be numbed up extra. Dr. Doctora had wonderful bedside manner and made sure that I was comfortable through the whole process. The aftercare protocols matched what I would have asked for in my holistic approach. I appreciate Dr. Doctora and his staff for all of there attentiveness. Doctora reached out to me the evening of my procedure to check on me and his staff texted me to check on me a week after the procedure. 2 weeks since my wisdom teeth remove, and my extraction sites have healed up beautifully and I had zero issues in the healing process. read more

My wife had oral surgery this week in preparation for full dentures. Dr. Doctora and his staff made this potentially intimidating procedure seem almost routine. The office staff was helpful, on time, and informative by explaining everything we could expect during and after the procedure. We were only in the office for about an hour and the work was completed. My wife is doing very well, following post procedure instructions and experiencing minimum pain or discomfort, and resting well. I can't thank Dr. Doctora and his staff enough for making a stressful situation into 'no big deal'. Thanks again. read more

We drove 2 hours+ to see this oral surgeon under a referral from our Holistic dentist. Had my daughter's bottom molars and top wisdom teeth extracted under sedation. Dr Joe was very attentive and answered questions as we asked. Office personnel were courteous and personable. Cost was beyond reasonable with our insurance. Dr Joe even called that evening to check on her and again a week later since we drove from out of town. Very responsive to concerns and a great experience overall. Would recommend to a friend! read more

I'm visiting from Atoka TN. My grandson hit me in the mouth by mistake and made already bad tooth worst. I was referred to Dr. Joe to have a tooth cut out and one wisdom tooth pulled. Everyone was awesome from the recipient to the young who assist Dr. Joe. The place it self is warm and beautiful on the inside. Dr. Joe has a wonderful spirit about him. He explained everything up front to make sure I was comfortable with the price and process. I didn't feel no pain or swelling. My visit was amazing. read more

Dr. Doctora is the consummate professional. I greatly appreciate his a calming and trustworthy demeanor that causes even me to relax right away despite my usual level of dental phobia. This was my 3rd visit over a few years. Each time it has been exactly the same safe caring environment. Every interaction with Dr. Doctora I am assured I have his complete focus which is very important to me. Oral surgery is not the most fun thing but, he's the person that I will choose every time. read more

I had to have a couple fractured teeth pulled last minute that were causing so much pain. They were ale to squeeze me into their already full schedule to help me. They also stayed open late on a Friday to do it. I am so grateful they took the time to help. The office is easy to get to, the staff is so friendly and the environment is very pleasant and relaxed. I will be back to have some other dental work done. I highly recommend Dr. Joe Doctora!! read more

Dr. Doctora is a great oral surgeon! I went to him for my wisdom teeth removal and the surgery was flawless. I was referred to him by my dentist, Dr. Williams, and it was a great procedure. I had no wait time to see him and the staff was extremely friendly. Also, his office was very neat and clean. He removed all 4 wisdom teeth in about 40 mins and I had a quick recovery. If anyone is looking for an oral surgeon, please call Dr. Doctora! read more

In my opinion, this office is a scam shop. The office was dingy and dirty. They also tried to put dirty utensils into my child's mouth. Additionally they charged my insurance for a what they said was an initial no charge consultation. read more
