I visited SMO to have my wisdom teeth extracted. Besides his busy schedule, Dr. Wasson was ready to accomodate me after I explained the urgency of my situation. He seems to be skilled at his work, answered all my questions and followed up with me the day after the surgery. Overall, my experience was smooth. Great team of practitioners. I’m highly satisfied.

The staff is all so friendly! From the moment I walked in they were all about making me feel comfortable. They answered all of my questions. Doc even called to check on me post procedure. They really value the patient's comfort and happiness. Will go to again for ANY dental issues in the future.

The staff was incredibly accommodating when my primary dentist office contacted them at the last-minute to make arrangements for two wisdom teeth to be extracted. The benefits year was rolling over and I needed to get in asap. Needless to say, they were amazing. Not only were they able to set up a consultation that day, but they were able to schedule the extraction for the very next day. In addition to this flexibility, the staff was so friendly and welcoming and Doctor Wasson made quick and painless work of two wisdom teeth that were in very poor shape. I would strongly recommend anyone looking for an oral surgeon to give Seattle Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery a serious consideration. They have certainly moved to the top of my list for any future procedures. Thanks again!

I'm not one to write reviews but I was super grateful for the way Dr. Wasson and his team took care of me. They made a somewhat confusing procedure, very easy and stress free. Every single one of the staff members made me feel welcomed and completely taken care of. I had a wonderful experience and will surely come back if I need anything else! -Shannon

Dr. Wasson removed four of my son's wisdom teeth. It was a very organized and quick process. All of my questions were answered at the time of the consultation and the surgery, which made me feel better about leaving my son in their hands. Dr. Wasson called the day after the surgery to check on my son's condition, which I really appreciated. Everyone was very nice, professional and helpful. They did a great job! I will bringing in my two younger children when it is time for their wisdom teeth to be removed. Thank you!!

Dr. Wasson removed an extra tooth in my 8-year old daughter. It was the first time she had any kind of surgery and so we were all very nervous. At our initial consult, he did a great job of explaining the different options as well as his recommendation based on what he saw of my daughter's temperament. I appreciated his responsiveness to questions prior to the surgery and the day of the surgery, he and his staff did a great job of making a scary procedure for a small child as unintimidating as possible. Post-surgery, my daughter has no negative associations with dental work and is very excited to show off the extra tooth that Dr. Wasson extracted!

I needed a tooth extracted which is not one of my favorite activities. Dr. Wasson and all of the staff were great. Even though they were short handed that day; they made certain to take the time to explain everything to me, listen to my concerns, coach me through the process, and perform a terrific job. I also appreciate the follow-up contact just to make sure that I was doing ok. THANKS!!

Dr. Wasson and his staff are great! I needed an emergency tooth extraction and he was able to fit me into his schedule within the hour. The procedure was quick and painless! I have to say, I never laughed so much in a dentists office before!

After having experience with oral surgery, I was about as brave as my first day of kindergarten. Molar extraction is a serious procedure, indeed, but most of my anxiety was for naught. Aside from having the doctor's foot in my forehead for leverage (kidding!), the extraction went just fine and here I am only 16 hours later with no oozing or pain.

From the moment I spoke to Dr. Wasson, I felt reassured that I had called the right place. We drove from Walla Walla and Dr. Wasson was very accommodating and professional with our needs. I will definitely use Dr. Wasson's services again in the future.

My experience of having my first wisdom tooth extracted at an older age was very easy and all because of Dr. Wasson and staff. Everyone was warm and friendly so my nervousness turned to calm right away. The procedure and recovery went smoothly. I knew I was in good hands with Dr. Wasson, because of his professionalism, experience, and knowledge as a Doctor of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Wasson!

I had a really pleasant time at OMS. The staff and especially Doctor Wasson was lovely. I felt welcome and relaxed. I was nervous because my teeth were really impacted, but the team released all concerns and did everything to take care of me. I know I made doctor Wasson work the day of surgery and he was a trooper. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a doctor. He will take care of you before and after the procedure.

Our Latest Patient Review

Our 9 year old daughter saw Dr. Wasson for the extraction of 3 teeth as part of an orthodontic plan. This was her first time ever having any dental procedure other than being seen for regular teeth cleaning. She had never been under sedation of any kind before and we were concerned and unsure about the type she would require for the procedure. We e-mailed Dr. Wasson with a "pediatric sedation checklist" listing some questions regarding the provider and about the set up of the office. Before our first appointment he contacted us and was very open and willing to address the items on the checklist. During the initial evaluation visit Dr. Wasson gave us a "tour" of his office which included seeing all of the safety and monitoring equipment. He called us later that day to see if we had any follow-up questions or concerns. We discussed the sedation options together and came up with what felt like a good choice for our daughter. The procedure went smoothly, she was kept very comfortable and her recovery time was quick. He called the day after the procedure to see how she was doing and provided us with contact information should any concerns arise over the weekend. Dr. Wasson and his office staff were caring and kind and had a good rapport with our daughter and our whole family. We would highly recommend Seattle OMS and Dr. Wasson to any parents who are looking for an oral surgeon for their child.

Although I was very scared of getting my wisdom teeth out, Dr. Wasson did a fabulous job with the surgery and I had a great experience. When I developed some complications the week after, he and his team went above and beyond to figure out what was going on and made sure that I was comfortable. Getting your wisdom teeth out is not an easy process, but I feel grateful that I was in such good hands at Seattle OMS. Thank you!
