I recently had a tooth extraction performed by Dr. Heise, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Everyone in the office was friendly, professional, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived. Dr. Heise was compassionate, thorough, and clearly very skilled. He explained the procedure, answered my questions, and put me at ease. The extraction was quick and far less stressful than I anticipated. I truly appreciate the excellent care I received and would highly recommend Dr. Heise and his team to anyone in need of oral surgery. Thank you for making a difficult procedure such a positive experience-
I cannot recommend Conestoga Oral Surgery enough! I honestly could not have picked a better place to get my dental implant, everybody was so welcoming and pleasant. Biggest shoutout to Dr. Heise and the amazing dental assistants. Thanks for my tooth ❤㊋
As someone who is petrified of the dentist and put my wisdom teeth extraction off for many years, I could not have felt more comfortable with Dr Heise. He was so calm and reassuring of my anxieties. From booking the appointment, to the consult, to the dreaded day of surgery, my experience was a 10. Special shout out to Devyn, his assistant, who clearly learned from the best! Thank you guys for everything!!!
