My Experience was 5 Star. Appointments were on time. Always treated with kindness and courtesy. Dr. Chris and staff were always concerned about my comfort and pain level. Always handled any questions with a smile and found answers. I would highly recommend them to others. Thanks to all the Staff and Dr Chris for your kindness.
MiChelle J. 2/04/2025 Very professional and knowledgeable. The office staff worked with me several times checking on my insurance, restoring calls from my concerns, and was available and ready with answers when asked. The Anesthesiologist was patient with my 7 year old and answered questions on a level he could understand. Dr. Ripperger was thorough and walked me thru the procedure, was approachable, explained recovery care after the quick surgery and made me feel confident we made the best decision to seek care when we did. We will be back and use this practice in the future.
Lindsay T. 1/21/2025 I went to see Dr. Ripperger to have a broken tooth cut out of the gum. He explained details to me. He listened and answered my questions. As we are all different, my socket screamed at me longer than a week. Dr. R had me come back for a post-op check when he explained the inflammation and irrigated the socket. He listens, he explains, he cares!!β€οΈ He is a great doctor!
Janet S. 1/17/2025 I had to have a problematic wisdom tooth pulled today. It was a first for me, but I am very happy with my experience. I have many underlying health concerns and all potential issues were addressed and given extra care. The staff was all very friendly and helpful. Dr. Ripperger was very kind, attentive, and informative. I was instantly put at ease. The process was quick and painless as possible. I also appreciate the inclusive nature of staff. Everyone I encountered took my disability into consideration. I am a full time wheelchair user, and am always apprehensive with new medical environments. I will definitely be returning for any future oral care. I highly recommend using Lone Star Oral Surgery for oral and facial surgical procedures.
Bentli B. 1/17/2025 Exceptional Care by Dr. Ripperger at Lone Star Oral Surgery. Dr. Ripperger is an incredibly skilled and compassionate oral surgeon. From the initial consultation to the follow-up, he demonstrated professionalism and genuine care for my comfort and well-being. His expertise made the procedure seamless, and he took the time to thoroughly explain every step, answering all my questions with patience. The entire team at Lone Star Oral Surgery was friendly, efficient, and supportive, creating a truly positive experience. I highly recommend Dr. Ripperger to anyone in need of exceptional oral surgery care.
Ralf L. 12/21/2024 Dr. Atkins pulled a tooth for me. I was nervous because of a previous bad experience that resulted in a dry socket years ago with a different dentist. Dr. Atkins assured me that his methods would not result in a dry socket. He made sure I was comfortable and pain free. I had a little bit of uncomfortable pressure while he extracted the tooth, but no pain at all during the procedure. The procedure was quick and efficient. He and his staff were friendly and answered all of my questions with kindness and patience. I would highly recommend Dr. Atkins!
Tara S. 12/07/2024 I was very nervous going in to have my wisdom teeth removed. Dr. Atkins and his assistant, Kambree were extremely welcoming and professional. They created a very positive atmosphere together and they answered all my questions. Dr. Atkins called at the end of the day to check and see how I was doing and to see if I had any questions. I highly recommend Dr. Atkins and Lone Star Oral Surgery. They are the absolute best!
Victoria R. 11/23/2024 Dr. Daniel Ripperger did an exceptional job on my tooth extraction. He is very personable and likable, as well. Even though oral surgery isnβt high on anyoneβs list of favorite things, he made it much less stressful than I expected. We are fortunate to have such a great care option in Amarillo.
