My appointment for a molar extraction was scheduled for November 25th. On November 10th, I received a call from Dr. Steel's office asking if I would like to go the following day. I graciously accepted as I was not looking forward to having it done 2 days before Thanksgiving. I received great care from Dr. Steele and his staff at Rio Grande Oral Surgery. EVERYONE in that office was nice and kind! Was in and out in about 20 minutes.

I have a lot of concerns with my daughter called and spoke to Judith front desk who is very rude her tone of voice she had sounds like she hates her job made me feel very unwelcomed. I am going through a lot with my daughter’s dental work and it’s people like her with that attitude that makes life feel worse . Definitely just going to go somewhere else. Please get her off the phones .

can’t say enough good things about this dental surgery team. From start to finish, every single staff member was professional, kind, and genuinely caring. I was extremely nervous going in, but they made me feel safe, listened to every concern, and guided me through every step of the process.
What really stood out was their follow-up — they called my wife an hour after surgery to check on me and even texted a few days later to see how I was recovering. That level of care is rare and truly appreciated.
If you’re looking for a dental surgeon who treats you like family and takes patient care seriously, this is the place. I’m so grateful for people like them and highly recommend this office to anyone who needs oral surgery done right.
