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.

TERRIBLE
First of all I woke up during my wisdom teeth removal. Wasn’t too bad because I didn’t feel much pain. The recovery was very easy. No swelling, no pain, nothing. Crazy. Fast forward a few years I go to boot camp, during in-processing they informed me that I still had my wisdom teeth…even though “Dr”. Scuba removed them.

Dr.Scuba preformed open joint surgery on my TMJs back in 2009 & 2010. It's now 2021 and I've had nothing but great results with no complications. He's a wonderful surgeon and I'd like to go say hi to him and his adorable wife, but I live in Savannah now.

Terrible experience loss of over 5000 thousand dollars. Does procedure that didn't work then says he knew it wouldn't work. Know wants over 16 thousand dollars. Terrible terrible service and rude Dr. and majority of staff. Don't waste money or time here.

he is 69 years old . Will he be practicing if you have issues in the future??? He will not discuss cost so he leaves that to the poor office clerks who have to explain his rates. His wife is the office manager. If you have issues with insurance you have to talk to a billing clerk in arkansas. The billing clerk arbitraily reduces your repayment check based on her own conclusions. They don't always call with reminders on your appointment.

After my consultation I was told I needed a $500 X-ray and bone graftmy insurance would not cover in order to get my wisdom teeth removed: the staff was all very nice and friendly. I wanted a second opinion due to the added fees and called to get my X-rays sent over. I was told that the X-ray was a courtesy (because I was to have surgery there) and that if I paid $90 they would send it over. I didn't owe $90 when I left their office, but after calling back I owe money? This doesn't seem right!

This place is a nightmare. I have written reviews about this place and somehow they seem to get deleted. All of sudden I see a positive review, which makes me believe it's probably one of their own staff. This place only cares about draining peoples pockets, the staff seem as if they hate their job and take it out on the patient. The Doctor even worst. Maybe if he had more males working would be a lot better. It seems everyone in there is going through menopause and want your money ONLY. Sad.
