Our Reviews
I would like to thank the doctor and the entire team for the excellent care I received. From the moment I arrived, they made me feel comfortable, explained the entire procedure, and answered all of my questions. The surgery to remove my two wisdom teeth was very quick, and I did not feel any pain during the procedure. They gave me clear instructions and all the medications I needed for a smooth recovery. I’m now in my third week after the surgery, and everything has healed very well. I highly recommend them for their professionalism, kindness, and excellent work. Thank you very much!

I just had oral surgery here in Pampa by Dr. R (short) for Ripperger and it was a great experience. He is highly skilled and did a great job, from the numbing process to the actual extraction of my tooth. He would frequently ask if I was okay, pain wise and was very caring about that. Bottomline 15 minutes and the tooth was out. Everyone was great at this Pampa location and I appreciate that he drove up here to Pampa, instead of me having to drive all the way into Amarillo. I plan to let him do my implant next.

I was not looking forward to getting my wisdom teeth extracted due to my first experience at another dental office but this was a Great experience! Got my wisdom teeth removed from the right side and it was quick and painless! Dentist and staff are very friendly and professional, will recommend to anyone needing dental work done

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!

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.

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!!

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!

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!

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!

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 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!
