What patients say

Vibe: professional

Overwhelmingly positive across nine reviews praising Northern Star OMS, particularly Drs. Chavez and Basi, for exceptional surgical skill in extractions and oral surgery. Patients consistently highlight gentle pain management, clear communication, kind staff, and transparent pricing. One negative review from a year ago regarding a retained tooth request. Overall sentiment strongly suggests a highly-skilled oral surgery practice with excellent patient care and anxiety management.
