Our Reviews

Very friendly staff with positive attitudes! Very quick with the procedure and very informative.

Had a tooth pulled yesterday by Dr.Ripperger and everything went so smooth you wouldn’t even think I had an extraction. I HIGHLY recommend this clinic to anyone with teeth problems. Insurance did cover a portion but I was quoted the price without it also and it was still affordable. No complaints. Thank you to the staff and doctor for making the process as pain free as possible!

Great, personal service. Everyone was kind and answered all my questions. My daughter was in and out quickly and they took great care of her.

A huge thank you to Dr. Atkins for taking such great care of our daughter. His calm demeanor, clear explanations, and genuine compassion helped put all of our fears at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Went in for a consult was in and out and left feeling informed on my options

Friendly and professional staff. My son had his wisdom teeth removed and the nurse very clearly explained the healing and care process needed. Dr Ripperger was also very nice and informative when he called that evening to check on his patient. Highly recommend!

They were very prompt and caring. How nice to get both. The doctor even called later to see how I was doing 😻

Everyone in the office were great and professional! I love that there is Christian music playing. Was very calming as they prepared me for surgery 😊 Thank you!

My son received the best care from this team. Wonderful experience all around.

Great

Dr. Atkins is great!!!

Absolutely fantastic people and excellent care. Both Dr and staff are exceptional. A+++

I highly recommend this place! They were so kind to my mother-in-law and did a fantastic job taking out both of my sons’ wisdom teeth. Dr R and his staff are super helpful, friendly, and make scheduling easy.

Highly recommend this practice! The entire oral surgeon team and office staff are extremely professional, friendly, and helpful. They provide excellent care with a truly nice and welcoming attitude.

Everyone here was Amazing. If you have to have any kind of oral surgery, this should be the place.

My experience today could not have been any better. The doctor and the staff were great.

Great office staff and very caring and knowledgeable doctor. Thank you Dr Atkins!

Everyone was very friendly, nice and attune to my needs. I appreciate Dr Atkins calling me personally to check on me after I had been home a few hours. I will definitely be using Dr Atkins again.

The staff and my doctor were amazing!

Dr. Adkins was professional, knowledgeable, friendly and kind. Calm atmosphere, nice music and he sings well. The extraction was PAINLESS! And his staff was great, very accomendating. The price quite reasonable. My family and I will go back to Dr. Adkins for all our oral surgery needs. Thank you Dr. Adkins.

I had a tooth extracted this morning and I’m so glad I chose Lone Star Oral Surgery because the dentist explained everything to me in layman’s terms and asked numerous times if I had any questions or was feeling any pain while he was working on me. He injected the pain medication slowly so I didn’t feel it. I had told him that was, for me, the worst thing about going to a dentist. That proved to me that he listened carefully to what I said. If I ever need any kind of dental surgery, I will always choose Lone Star Oral Surgery.

Great staff! Great Doctor. Good experience.

Everyone is super friendly. I got all four wisdom teeth removed, quick and painless. The whole procedure was really relaxing actually. They even let you play music

No one WANTS to go see an oral surgeon. Dr Atkins and his staff were hands down phenomenal! His office is easy to find, clean and staff were very kind and professional. Dr Atkins himself made me feel comfortable and I knew I was in good hands. The procedure was done w no pain,I have stayed comfortable all day. He even called to follow up on the evening. 10 outta 10 highly recommend!!

Lone Star employees were absolutely fantastic and accommodating. Took great care of me and made sure we had all the information. Absolutely amazing experience.

Great job and great people!

Excellent experience overall.Very efficient process of check-in and plan discussion.Dr Atkins and his tech were outstanding.

Professional, kind, clean, friendly, & fast service.

Dr. Atkins is great at what he does. He will make sure any and all questions or concerns are answered as well as help put your mind at ease for dental work. I wouldn't go anywhere else! The staff was also exceptional!

I had my wisdom teeth removed almost a week ago by Dr Atkins. I was very nervous and had rescheduled the surgery several times. The office staff was always very kind to me, but especially Dr Atkins and the nurse working with him. They put me at ease and comforted me all the way up until I fell asleep. The procedure itself only took about 40 minutes, and overall I was only in the office for just over an hour. Prescriptions were called in before surgery even began, so they were ready by the time we left the office. Dr Atkins even called to check on me a few hours after the procedure, which is above and beyond what I expected! Healing has gone well so far and I had minimal swelling and bruising. I hope to not have to see them again for a very long time, but would recommend them to anyone needing dental work done!

Dr Atkins and crew did a great job- very professional!

Dr Ripperger was truly the best!! Very professional and truly a kind and compassionate human being. Thank you to you and great staff.

Dr. Atkins has been very good to answer questions post surgery. Very kind and informative.

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!

Great, everyone was very nice.

Very professional. Explained several options. HOOK’EM!

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

It’s was gansta

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!

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.

Nice courteous staff and excellent doctor. Definitely would recommend.

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

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!
