Dr. Steel and his staff treated me with great concern, kindness and professionalism. My regular dentist recommended him for my oral surgery treatment and I'm very pleased with the care I received including the follow up care to make sure that I was healing as planned. I am definitely recommending Dr. Steel and the Rio Grande Oral Surgery staff. Shout out to Judith for checking on me after my procedure. Thank you.

My wisdom tooth surgery was very painless and very fast. I experienced little to no pain post operation and was given plenty of pain medication and cleaning supplies. Very grateful for their hospitality.

I took my 87-year-old father there for extracting his wisdom teeth. They were very cooperative understanding and did a great job. The doctor personally reached out the day after the surgery to make sure everything was going well and when I had questions a week later and they were very professional and responded to my questions number one in my book for extractions
