Thank you to the staff I dealt with throughout our visit today. Marina was the absolute best. Very kind and patient. Marina was so gentle with my daughter after the anesthesia. Dr. G was very kind and attentive per usual. Highly recommend this surgery center. I did not encounter one bad apple out of this team. Amazing!

Love love love …. Listened to my concerns about my son and assured me they would done everything they possibly could to save his tooth … hopefully surgery will go well .. will come back with an update in May… Update: Everything went well with my son’s surgery… everyone was Phenomenal!!! Excellent care … and the anesthesiologist was wonderful …. And the dentist kept his promise he didn’t extract not one tooth… he saved all his teeth…. I’m so pleased and happy they listened to my concerns….

Dr. Johnston was so very thoughtful and helpful. She answered all our questions and made sure to send important information to another specialist for additional evaluation. I am so happy with this experience. She is compassionate and desires to do the right thing by her patients. Thank you Dr. Johnston for helping our daughter get on the right path.

Both of our sons had their wisdom teeth removed at this dental center last year and the entire staff was professional from the from reception area to the medical staff!! They called and followed up with us after each procedure to make sure they were recovering well...they respond quick when I called with questions afterwards I would definitely recommend anyone with kids, teens and young adults to take them to the Raleigh Children's surgery center for any type oral care, procedure or issue!!
