The entire staff here is incredibly caring. They were able to get my dad in last minute for a procedure and he had an amazing experience, so I had my wisdom teeth removal here and had absolutely zero pain or issues from my procedure. They make you feel very comfortable. Highly recommend!

I am so thankful that my dentist referred me to Dr. Meyer and his office staff. Dr. Meyer did an amazing job on placing a post for me and I had a difficult case. He is very genuinely kind and wants what is best for his patients. His staff are all very nice. Should I have to have another dental surgery, I will be back and highly recommend him.

Patient Review
Best surgery experience I've ever had. My wisdom tooth extraction was risky because of my age (49) but everything was explained well and the procedure went perfectly with no complications. Dr. Meyer even called a few hours after the surgery to make sure everything was OK. Not a nurse, not a receptionist, but the doctor himself.

The entire experience was great from start to finish. Had to get my wisdom teeth removed on fairly short notice given the amount of pain I was in, and they were super accommodating. The surgery itself was painless, the staff was amazing, and I can’t thank them enough for everything they did to help me!

Patient Review
To say this place took great care of me would be an understatement. I wish I could give 100 stars! The ladies up front are PHENOMENAL at explaining costs, procedure, and scheduling. I am so grateful for their kindness and patience. Dr. Myers made sure to ease my fear and anxiety before during and after my surgery. Gave a personal phone call follow up to make sure I was recovering well. This facility honestly changed my whole perspective on dentistry/surgery, and I am so relieved to not be in pain anymore! Thank you Dr. Myers and staff.

Dr. Meyer is an excellent oral surgeon. Please read his bio. He was promoted to Colonel during his twenty-three year career of service in the United States Air Force. His military career culminated in 2010 as the Director of Education in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery for General Dentistry and senior teaching staff at Wilford Hall, USAF Medical Center, Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. Dr. Meyer is a kind and compassionate surgeon with exceptional skills plus a positive bedside manner. He along with his superb staff provided my husband exemplary care. Dr. Meyer has extracted a number of my husband’s teeth in preparation for dental implants. Never a problem with any of his extractions or implants! Dr. Meyer personally called to check on my husband after his procedures. Once after a procedure Dr. Meyer sent a beautiful flower arrangement. From your first contact with his efficient office staff to consultation with Dr. Meyer and his professional team you will know what to expect each step of the way. If you are in need of an oral surgeon we are pleased to highly recommend Dr. Karl Meyer and his professional team at Hixson Implant and Oral Surgery.

I had 2 tooth extractions a couple of weeks ago. The most amazing service ever. The cleanest office I have ever been in. ALL the staff were so professional and courteous. The physician has the best bedside manner and technically is superb. I am a long-time nurse and can tell what an excellent provider he and his office staff are. I would rate more than 5 stars if I could!
