Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

New teeth
Had to have 4 teeth pulled and upper denture put in! Just had needles for numbing, which was not bad at all. Longest time was waiting for it to go numb. Those 4 teeth were out within mins and the new teeth in! Amazing!

Don't recommend
No issues with the actual surgery, but the aftercare was very rushed. As soon as the procedure was over they rushed us out of the office almost immediately. My son could not walk on his own so soon after the anesthesia, I had to steady him fully. He ended up vomiting right outside of the building. A random stranger was very kind and helped me by grabbing some tissues and a cup of water for him, but it was a poor experience. It could have been avoided by allowing him time to recover in the office. They don't have an office manager to speak with about billing issues and sent the biopsy to a lab not in our network so we are stuck with a high unexpected lab bill

Excellent Oral Surgeon
I have seen him twice. Last year I went to a dentist who was unable to extract my molar. After 2 1/2 hours in her chair, she gave up and sent me immediately to Dr. Hoffrichter. He saw me right away on that day (a Friday afternoon), and popped out the tooth in 15 seconds! He just removed another tooth today without any trouble. He is confident, relaxed, and knowledgeable, and is my go-to Oral Surgeon. Love the guy…….

I have been seeing Dr. Hoffrichter for over 10 years, and he has always taken what had the potential of being a difficult procedure and when done I have always felt it could not have gone any better. He is always very caring and concerned with your well being. I highly recommend Dr. Hoffrichter to any seeking service.

Dr Hoffr5ichter was wonderful. I had to have 4 teeth pulled and was very nervous. He had a wonderful bedside manner. He was very kind, explained everything to me and from the time of the first injections until he had pulled my teeth, I felt no pain. I couldn't be happier. And his office staff was wonderful also.

Dr. Hoffrichter and his staff were friendly and professional and provide very clear description of the procedures they were going to perform. The anxiety I initially experienced quickly faded under their care.

After paying $300 for a pre exam appt the dr was very short with me. I am terrified of anything to do with having teeth pulled and I could tell I was really getting on his nerves. He insisted on pulling three teeth at one time, insisted on knocking me out, and when i said i would prefer one at a time and not being knocked out he said that is ridiculous. 300 dollars and his office never called me back. i could tell he didn’t like me. i seriously felt he was tirned off by my teeth which i have let go due to my fear of dentists. Thank God I called another oral surgeon who was so compassionate and took out ONE tooth and the pain was gone. Zero bedside manner or professionalism

Dr. Hoffrichter is an intelligent and talented doctor. He has done a great job with both of my children. While I understand he is very busy, spending a little more time with each patient may ease the minds of uneasy patients.

My experience was amazing. I was nervous going in but as soon as I got to the office my nerves eased due to the friendliness of the staff. Everyone there is amazing. Everything was explained to me and I was made to feel comfortable from start to finish. The procedure itself was extremely quick and painless. I will go no where else for dental surgery Great staff!
