    Doctor and nurses are wonder! very patient and kind. they all made my daughter feel comfortable…read moreduring her procedure. At both appointment, the girl at the front desk was quite rude and not very helpful regarding insurance and several other questions I had. Thankfully, another lady across from the front desk was able to explain everything and was super sweet. Aside from the unpleasant, rude girl at the front desk, our experience here was fantastic.

    I can not recommend this surgeon under any circumstances. I was disappointed with the overall…read morecommunication and aftercare guidance following my wisdom tooth extraction. At 57 years old, I feel that having a wisdom tooth removed as an adult is a very different experience than it may be for a teenager, and I expected more individualized guidance about what to expect during recovery. The written aftercare instructions were insufficient and did not adequately prepare me for the recovery process. After the procedure, there was no discussion about how the procedure went, what to expect over the next several days, how long pain and discomfort might reasonably last, or what symptoms would be considered normal versus concerning. I also was not offered an off-work note or given any guidance about whether I should plan to take time away from work. My biggest concern was not necessarily the procedure itself, but the lack of communication afterward. Patients should leave an oral surgery appointment feeling informed and prepared for their recovery, especially when they are older adults who may have different recovery needs than younger patients. I hope the office will consider improving its post-procedure communication and providing more detailed, age-appropriate expectations and guidance for future patients.

They were very reassuring and made me feel comfortable. I was in and out in less than an hour. I couldn't recommend this place enough! Will be going back when I'm ready to get my top ones out. Thanks to Dr. Peifer and assistant Cynthia!

    Let me start by saying WOW! This place is very small and quiet. I was scheduled for my wisdom teeth…read moreremoval. I am a highly anxious person. And my nerves were out the window and down the street the morning of my surgery. Dr Hughes's team was stellar EVERY last employee was smiling and kind and telling me that everything would be fine. I had a pre-op meeting with Dr. Hughes and my husband so I would have post-op info before sedation. The Dr cleared up a lot of facts about recovery. He was absolutely genuine and caring. He eased my nerves by simply being kind. When I was moved to operation room he had 2 other staff in there and they were so gentle so sweet. I went night night and came too as they were wheeling me to the car. I can't sing their praises enough. I will always recommend Dr. Hughes. Him and his team went above and beyond. Edit: 1 week post-op and I'm feeling great! This oral surgeon is magnificent! I highly highly highly recommend him if your insurance covers his work! His work is so unbelievably precise and careful. I wouldn't have wanted any other oral surgeon. THANK YOU DR. HUGHES AND TEAM!!!!!

Dr. Alas restored my trust and faith in dentists again. He is professional, knowledgeable, personable, kind and gentle. Dr. Alas fixed a crooked crown that my previous dentist put in crooked twice and had refused to fix it. My teeth cleaning was thorough and gentle and the staff is friendly and welcoming.

Out of all dentists and specialists I have seen, Dr Alas truly cares about his patients and strives to find the best solution for you. He also prefers to preserve your natural teeth when possible, rather than replacing them. He is very gentle, and has very light hands. His staff is equally as gentle, and friendly too. They are sure to limit as much pain as possible, and prioritize your comfort above all. Very personable and kind office. They get the job done in the best manner possible. Can't recommend enough. Dr Alas has done fillings, bonding, implant and bone grafting, and crowns for me. Out of my many trips to the dentist, I look forward now rather than dreading like before.
