Very professional. Explained several options. HOOK’EM!

Great, everyone was very nice.

This is a credible clinic with caring and compassion for those individuals who require expert dental medical care. Walking in the clinic front door is like walking into their personal home and being welcomed as family. This has been an outstanding experience for me with a thorough evaluation and all questions patiently answered in clear, precise language that I could understand and appreciate. I value this demonstrated level of patient care that is exceptional in every way. The facility is modern and upscale with plenty of free parking for convenience with easy driver entrance and exit. A clean well lit place for dental work with friendly and inviting staff offers the best opportunity to treat and heal my dental issue and to feel as a valued and respected patient...frankly, it doesn't get any better than this. Thank You staff and dentist Dr. Daniel Ripperger DDS. You all ROCK!

Staff is professional and efficient! Dr. Atkins is always wonderful and so helpful with questions! Super nice guy!

Dr Atkins and all his staff are the best. Quick and easy process and they make you feel welcomed. 👍🏼

Very nice clean office but not a fan of the tablet check in. Abby was great and made me feel relaxed and at ease.

Very efficient, friendly and professional group and dentists.

Overall great experience. The provider was thorough in explaining all of my options. I could tell the provider was more concerned about my overall health than the $$ he could make off of a procedure. Very grateful for his guidance!

I had a very good experience. Great staff/nurses and very good Doctor. Definitely recommend them.

Great experience! Great staff and doctors. Quick and easy process.

Great & fast service! Prompt & efficient! Kind & friendly!

Lone Star was able to book a quick appointment when I was in pain with a molar tooth. It was extracted with a lot of hard work and expertise by Dr. Ripperger. . . Root was deep and curved. I am grateful to him and staff for relief they provided to me in a timely, professional manner. Thank you!

Great staff, great doctor! Appointment was at 2, got a consult and wisdom tooth pulled and was out and in my car at 236. Very efficient!

Called at 8am and had an appointment for 1pm the same day. The staff were very helpful and attentive. Had an X-ray, consultation and surgical removal of two teeth and ready to go home at 2. Dr Adkins and the team are excellent. Doctor called me around 4:30 to see how I was doing and encouraged me to call if I had problems or questions. Thank you all for your kindness.

Excellent service!!!! Staff was very helpful and friendly!! They got me in right away!!! Facility was very clean!!!! Overall everything was great!!

I went in for an unexpected procedure and the staff was amazing! Thank you Doctor Daniel R. for being friendly and making this visit stress free.

Amazing!! Thank you so much!

These people were Johnny on the spot I mean got it done right now no messing around Didn't feel a thing thank goodness

I went in for consult regarding a broken tooth. Upon examination I was provided options for treatment, and chose a tooth removal. The Dr. and tech provided numbing and discussion of every step taken. This event was the most courteous, professional and pain free extraction I have ever experienced. From my check-in, through conclusion of the extraction, all members of the team were friendly, knowledgeable, and caring. Without reservation, I would highly recommend Lone Star Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery of Amarillo for anyone’s oral surgery needs!

I can’t recommend Dr. Ripperger enough! The knowledge, compassion, care, and service has been outstanding. I’ve had a complicated journey and the entire staff at Lone Star has bent over backwards for me. The office staff and nurses included have provided the best customer service. I highly recommend using Lone Star!

I am terrified about dental work. Everyone was kind and very caring and put me at ease quickly. I would use Dr. Atkins for any future dental extractions.

The Lone Star team was so great. Everyone was efficient and friendly. Doc was so great, communicative, efficient, professional. Then a follow up call to my wife tom check on me - are you kidding me? 5 stars. Thanks soMuch.

Highly recommend!! I went in for a 2:00 appointment for a tooth extraction and walked out at 3 with procedure complete and prescriptions already called in to my pharmacy! The Dr was friendly, explained what he was doing, checked throughout the procedure ensuring I was pain free and made a terrifying situation for me completely tolerable. I’m praying I never have to have another one but if I do, it will hands down be done at LoneStar and by Dr Atkins!

Second family member to go here. Great people and excellent care. Dr Ripperger is the best!

Fast, friendly, and professional. The best dentist experience I ever had.

Outstanding! Compassionate, kind, and very competent! Thank you for making my experience virtually painless! Highly recommend!

It’s was gansta

What a great experience from the moment I walked in the door! The staff were so kind and helpful. Dr Ripperger explained everything in detail and spent all the time I needed to make sure I fully understood the surgery. He made sure I was comfortable and pain free before he began and kept asking if I could feel anything during. He was very confident and did a perfect job. He also called to check on me that evening, I haven’t had a Dr do that in years! I am now a patient for life.I highly recommend Dr Ripperger and his staff at Lone Star Oral Surgery in Amarillo.

Tooth extraction went great. It was done in a timely fashion and very minimal pain. Dr. Ripperger made sure I had no pain during procedure.

They are very professional kind and very informative! I had been recommended from my dentist Dr. Short to go see these guys to get my wisdom teeth surgically removed and man I’m NOT disappointed!!!All the questions and concerns I had were answered accordingly and everything they did from the consult all the way to the day of surgery they told me step by step why and what was going on and that made me feel very safe. Next thing I know I woke up without wisdom teeth numbed up with a mouth full of gauze. They took care of me through the entire process! Dr. Atkins was awesome very professional and got it done quick! My Nurse who was on his team was kind sweet and made me comfortable and safe and made sure I had everything I needed. If you are looking for a Great oral surgeon office this is the place!!

Very quick to get back to a room. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Dr Atkins is so smart!! He helped guide me with making a huge plan moving forward.

Very polite staff everything went as expected

Staff was great, and Dr Atkins was great!!

Had me in diagnosed w/ cost estimate for repair in 20 minutes of arrival. I was in surgery within 10 more minutes and out of surgery with in 1 1/2 hours of my first arrival. Everyone was great and actually cared how you were doing.

The tooth extraction went well. Thank you so much Dr. Ripperger.

Nice courteous staff and excellent doctor. Definitely would recommend.

Dr. Atkins and his staff were kind and efficient. We were in an out in under an hour for wisdom teeth removal!

Very understanding of my situation..

Crew was very professional and courteous...

I had a procedure done a few weeks ago. Dr Ripperger had a fantastic, kind bedside manner and the procedure was incredibly efficient and gentle. I hardly felt the injections! His assistant Cambry was very sweet and friendly as well! I would highly recommend Lonestar Oral and Maxillofacial!

I just had my tooth extraction today. Tooth pulling is supposed to be awful, but Dr. Ripperger, the dental assistants, and the front desk ladies are the nicest folks, and made it virtually quick and painless. They got me scheduled really quickly, dealt with my many reschedulings, and they made sure I was very numb before the extraction. Dr. Ripperger also called me to check how I’m doing after the extraction, and made sure I knew I could call with any concerns I’m having. Nobody wants a tooth pulled, but if you end up needing it, I highly reccomend Lonestar and Dr. Ripperger.

My family highly recommends Lone Star! The staff are friendly and accommodating. The office is clean, organized, and well managed. Dr. Atkins and his team put us at ease before the procedure and he checked with my daughter throughout to make sure she was comfortable. If you are looking for top quality care, this is the right place.

I was really dreading the extraction of a cracked 70 year old molar, as we really were quite attached! But Dr. Ripperger (big strong handsome fella) handled it very well. I opted out of conscious sedation, using just the old numb it up technique, and it was easy peasy. There is a gadget that is inserted on the other side that keeps your mouth open, and that you can bite down on as hard as you like. I suspect it has saved many dentist fingers.

Very kind and professional!

Staff very friendly & efficient, I was called back within a few minutes, evaluated & procedure done all in an hour. Very satisfied!!!

Took my Dad in for an infection. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The fact that some of the staff spoke Spanish was great .

My experience with them was great!! Very friendly and professional!!

I highly recommend Daniel Ripperger and his entire team. I went in for an emergency surgery to remove two fractured teeth, and I’ll be honest—I hate going to the dentist because dental pain is something I really struggle with. From the moment I walked in, everyone was amazing, friendly, and incredibly reassuring. They helped me relax and made the whole experience so much easier than I ever expected. Even after the procedure, the care didn’t stop—Dr. Daniel personally called to check on me, which truly meant a lot. I could honestly brag about everyone there. And apparently, I already have—I’ve given their information to three people so far to set up appointments with Lone Star. That alone should say it all!

Easy to work with, very accommodating

Dr. Ripperger was very professional while also being very caring and compassionate with my mom, Ann. I totally trusted him and he did an awesome job working with my mom, who has alzheimer. Thank you!

Dr. Atkins removed my wisdom teeth a little over a month ago & couldn’t have had a better experience! I was terrified, and it was super easy. My recovery was easy too. He’s great, his team is great. I recommend them 1000000x over!

Friendly staff wasn't forced to do something i did not want to do. Great experience.

Very friendly staff!! Highly recommend

They are the greatest ☺️ 10 out of 10 would recommend them for your dental work 😊 the staff is the nicest and the Dr goes oven and beyond to make sure you aren’t nervous and at ease

Dr.Ripperger was amazing with my daughter. He made her feel comfortable the entire time and at ease. Highly recommend him for any oral surgery needs.

Friendly staff, very accommodating.

I was very impressed with care I was given. Everyone was very nice and everything went great. The dr’s procedure went very well,

Had 2 teeth pulled. No pain and was pretty quick. Second time using Lone Star and both experiences were great.

What a great experience for having 3 teeth extracted. Dr. Ripperger was amazing and his assistant was top notch. I had 3 teeth that were infected and needed removed and they did an awsome job. Always made sure you were not in any pain if you were they took care of that. The after care instructions were very clear. I had very minimal pain after local anesthetic wore off. Top notch would highly recommend!!!

Probably the best place I've ever been to! I absolutely hate anything that has to do with my teeth. The staff were so comforting and polite and really made the entire experience amazing. I strongly recommend Dr. Atkins. He's quick and to the point, yet extremely professional. 10/10 would recommend!

Appreciate Dr. Ripperger and his amazing staff! Everyone was very friendly, comforting, and efficient!

I would easily call myself one of the most difficult patients that they could have walk through the doors. I am TERRIFIED of the dentist, I have a SUPER sensitive gage reflex, and the mouth of a child. I'd been dealing with a cracked tooth for over 3 weeks and after being shuffled around from Dentist to Endo to Surgeon I finally felt like there was someone willing to help me. They were VERY nice, made me feel as comfortable as possible and even called after the procedure to check on me. They were great and I'll be scheduling back with them for an implant.

Staff was amazing! Dr. Atkins was so kind, patient, and very compassionate to my daughter. Very thankful we were sent here!

Had to have a tooth removed. Dr Ripperger was efficient and very caring. He explained every part of the procedure. Definitely recommend him.

I ended up at Lonestar today after all the running around I’d been doing regarding my tooth, pain, and the cost of treatment. Every other doctor’s office wanted to see me first and then decide what to do, but Lonestar took charge. They used the information I already had, combined it with their expertise, and scheduled me the same day. Within five minutes, I was back with my tooth being pulled in less than an hour. God bless small businesses like this! I didn’t have insurance, and they didn’t hassle me at all. Thank you for your wonderful care today!

So quick and efficient and they have all the technological advances that made the appointment run smoothly.

Everyone was really nice

The staff is so nice and understanding. I will definitely choose them over again.

Outstanding experience! Dr.Atkins and his staff were absolutely excellent! Can not praise them enough!

Had 2 teeth extracted one was a wisdom tooth. The experience was great. 10/10 this place is very efficient with time. My appointment was at 1pm I was out of there by 1:30. My mouth was numbed the doc and his team did their thing, they spoke with me throughout the whole procedure. The entire staff I've encountered are all so kind ! I got a phone call from the dentist at the end of the day to see how I was doing.

Good and fast awesome job

Very nice experience. Totally professional and comfortable environment.
