Dear AZ MAX Team, I am writing to express my appreciation following my second visit to your office. Once again, I had a very pleasant experience. Scheduling an appointment by phone was straightforward and efficient. Upon my arrival, the front office staff were welcoming and professional. I would like to extend a special thanks to Megan, whose kindness and professionalism put me at ease despite my long-standing anxiety regarding dental visits. Additionally, Dr. Allen made me feel extremely comfortable, conducted a thorough examination, and explained my treatment options in detail. Thank you to the entire team for providing such outstanding care. Best regards, Deidre Norton

I had an emergency issue and Doctor Allen was eager to see me that very same day! He helped resolve the issue and prescribed antibiotics! I felt so relieved and grateful that he was able to do that. He was not only helpful but since it was Halloween he dressed up as Shrek! What a great sense of humor and I was impressed that he was willing to have fun as well as to be serious in helping to assist me without much notice! I recommend him to all my friends!

I had to go in for a consultation for a tooth extraction, and I was so stressed, but everyone made me feel at peace and calm about it, and I had all the confidence in the world that it wasn’t gonna hurt and everything would be fine. I knew I made the right selection for my oral surgeon on the day of surgery. I have white coat syndrome and my blood pressure spikes when it comes to dental work, but they took good care of me and I didn’t feel a thing. Excellent professional staff!

I had a wisdom tooth extracted yesterday, could not have asked for more compassionate team. They were concerned and asking if everything was okay during my stay, and made a call later in day to be sure I was doing okay. He and his staff are one of the best to work with (if you need to have dental surgery).

Exceptional Care and Follow up I am so thankful for the amazing care we received. My son had his wisdom teeth removed 3 weeks ago and surgery was a success! However, a lot can happen in 3 weeks and my son woke up this morning with a very tender and swollen cheek. I was trying to make it to work on time by 8 am so I showed up at the door at 7:30 am trying to figure out what time we could get my son into the office. I ended up running into Dr. Boyse in the hallway while waiting (I had never met him before but fortunately he had his name on his scrubs). He very quickly got me into the office and said he would see my son whenever it worked best. My son quickly arrived and he was able to have his abscess lanced and antibiotics called in before 8:30 am. He even had an Xray performed to ensure there were no other issues. I am thankful for Dr. Boyse and Jen Grant for the rapid care we received. How an office handles an emergency speaks volumes and AZ Max went above and beyond to assist us.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Austin and his team! I've had two surgeries with him. Both experiences were outstanding from start to finish. Dr. Austin is not only highly skilled but also incredibly calm and reassuring, which made the entire process smooth and worry free. I slept sound the night before each surgery and that is not like me. I was that confident after meeting the Az Max Team. His surgical assistant, Andrea, was amazing. So professional, kind, and attentive throughout. She made me feel comfortable and cared for every step of the way. The front office staff is equally impressive. Christie and the rest of the team are welcoming, organized and genuinely friendly. This makes such a difference when you're coming in for surgery. The aftercare I received was excellent. I always felt supported, had clear instructions, and knew I could reach out if I needed anything. Thanks to Dr. Austin and his staff, what could have been a stressful experience was instead calm, positive, and successful. I even received a beautiful bouquet of flowers from them during my recovery. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Austin, Andrea, Christie, and the entire office to anyone in need of oral surgery. They are simply the best!

Where do I start about Dr. Brent Boyse and his team? This was my second implant almost a year after my first one. Needless to say, I am NOT the ideal patient when it comes to anything dealing with dentistry. I would rather give birth! My experience with Dr. Boyse, my oral surgeon, has been nothing short of extraordinary, a testament to his expertise, compassion, and dedication to patient care. Given the anxiety that often accompanies dental procedures, especially those as significant as oral surgery, it is a rare gift to find a practitioner who not only exceeds clinical expectations but also attends thoughtfully to the emotional well-being of their patients. The office staff deserve special recognition as well, for their efficiency in scheduling, attention to detail, and genuine kindness. The seamless coordination between the reception and medical team made the process smooth and stress-free from start to finish. This time, I had an issue with my work and the paperwork they required for my time off. Connee, in the front office, went above and beyond with the numerous changes they required. Dr. Boyse's surgical skills and his calm and reassuring demeanor are above reproach. On the day of my surgery, Dr. Boyse and his team explained the procedure once more, addressing details with patience and care. Recovery can often be the most challenging phase of any surgical procedure, but Dr. Boyse and his team's commitment to patient care extended well beyond the operating room. They provided clear instructions for post-operative care and were readily available to answer any follow-up questions. What truly sets him and his team apart is their proactive approach. They checked in with me personally after surgery, ensuring that my recovery was progressing smoothly and even sent me beautiful flowers for my recovery. This level of dedication is uncommon and deeply appreciated. Dr. Boyse's philosophy centers on treating each patient as a unique individual. I never felt like just another case; instead, I was treated with dignity and respect, with my comfort and outcomes given top priority. There was a genuine effort to alleviate my fears, and the warmth extended by both Dr. Boyse and his staff made an otherwise intimidating experience surprisingly pleasant. I wish they could say the same about me! Lol I unequivocally recommend Dr. Boyse to anyone seeking dental care, especially those faced with complex or daunting procedures. His unique blend of expertise, compassion, and attention to detail places him in a league of his own. If you are searching for an oral surgeon who prioritizes patient well-being and delivers outstanding results, look no further. In sum, my experience with Dr. Boyse and his team was truly stellar. His expertise, empathy, and meticulous care have earned my highest praise and lifelong gratitude. I hope it encourages others to seek the same exceptional level of care and nothing less!

Everyone-from the front office to the dental assistants were very helpful. Dr. Lemieux is the dentist I saw for a wisdom tooth extraction. He is definitely good at what he does. I'm going on 73 years old and this was a scary thing to face. Dr. Lemieux made me comfortable throughout the procedure and reassured me to call if I needed anything or had any questions.I opted for local numbing, no anesthesia. Now 24 hours later I have minimal pain. I likely won't need Ibuprofen today. I took Ibubrofen twice yesterday. I was definitely in some pain once the numbing medicine wore off.

Last time I was here I couldn't upload the photos, so here they are again. I have been in Dr Boyse's care for close to 20 years, and am still as thrilled with him, the care he provides, and all the staff in the office. He has done updates on my implants (I'm a terrible patient, crunching on nuts and grinding my teeth) as needed, and I'm so glad for all the support. If you need to talk about implants and/or other non-routine dental needs I can't recommend Dr Boyse highly enough. Over the years I've occasionally been seen by another surgeon here, all of them are excellent and caring. I would give more stars but there aren't enough.

This is for the super office and medical staff all around. My appointment was for an extraction consult. I was very impressed with the pictures I saw of my oral cavity. The dental technician, while doing her Q&A with me, was very kind in explaining some of the images I asked about. They even brought me a blanket as I was chilled. I made an appointment to have the extraction and missed the appointment. I was so upset because they were able to get me in so quickly to begin with. Plus, it was a Friday. I called them up, and they were very nice and able to get me in early on Monday. They were so kind, and before I knew it, I was looking at my ride home and feeling numb and plumpy.

I had a tooth that broke off leaving just the roots that had to be removed. My dentist recommended AZ MAX SURGEONS. I'm not a fan of having shots in my mouth. Dr. Austin said that I shouldn't worry and it won't hurt (heard that BEFORE) well it didn't. He made sure that I was comfortable before and during the procedure asking if everything was okay. I would recommend AZ Max Surgeons and Dr. Austin. He and his staff are one of the best to work with.

Back for a "fitting" and as always so glad I met Dr Boyse nearly 20 years ago. He takes excellent care of all his patients, is very good at explaining procedures and solutions, and is the best there is! The office looks even more amazing now after a recent remodel, but the best part of coming here ( besides Dr Boyse) is the staff: attentive, always smiling, and super helpful. If any Yelpers need excellent dental care, specializing in maxillofacial problems I can't recommend AzMax more!

Refered by my dentist who has taken care of my family for 16 years. We discussed options and I needed to explore getting a dental implant. Complementary council

This practice is AMAZING! My wife had dental procedures and the staff was very knowledgeable and happy to share information. The front office staff was so friendly and helpful with insurance questions. The quality of care was top notch. Dr.Allen and Andrea were a dream team. I am happy we trusted them for my wife's procedures.

My maxillofacial surgeon is Dr Boyse and he is amazing! His interest in his patients, and his after-care, are top notch. I had implants done by Dr Boyse about 20 years ago and continue to be in his care for 'maintenance' and making sure everything is great. Implants aren't cheap, depending on what you need, i.e. full replacements or just a couple, so when you make the decision you want to be aware of all care for your new smile. I can honestly say that the implant surgeries went very very well, and I never had any problems or discomfort - besides the inevitable post-surgery bruises that diminished soon. When I have an appointment I actually look forward to go 'going to the dentist' !! All the staff are wonderful, wether they are a few I've known for years, or new staff that doesn't know me yet, all are helpful and - I love this: always smiling and make one feel welcome. It can be scary and daunting to decide to get implants: here you will be guided through the process, with each step explained clearly by Dr Boyse beforehand. He will explain the procedure(s) needed, how long you will be under anesthesia, your recovery time... absolutely everything you need to know so you can decide if it's a good option for you. The office is staffed by great people: always attentive and taking an interest in their patients. I can highly recommend AzMax for your new smile!!

I highly recommend AZ Max, Dr. Fluckiger was very thorough with getting my wisdom tooth out and did a phenomenal job making me feel comfortable because I couldn’t get put under because I’m pregnant. Even checked up on me personally a few hours after wards to see how I was doing. And the staff was also amazing, from the second you check in the moment you leave it will be a feel professional experience. 10/10

Absolutely amazing experience with oral surgery. Dr. Romney is considerate, trustworthy, calming, honest and a great Oral Surgeon. Every single staff member from scheduling to assistant was fantastic. They were compassionate, caring, sweet and always happy to help in any way. For someone with dental anxiety they are perfect! Procedure went great, no complications or complaints what so ever. Beyond pleased with the experience under the circumstances (who is excited about surgery?) When/if needed I will not go to another oral surgeon and recommend Dr. Romney and his staff to ANYONE & EVERYONE! 🥰

Dr Brent Boise has been my oral surgeon for many years, so I have gotten to know him well. I am now 74 years old and have several implants and bridges acquired over the years, mostly since my early 50s. He works very well with my Dentist and I am extremely happy. I noticed very early that the chemistry of his entire staff is extremely good at every level. They seem happy and well cared for. In my opinion, this speaks volumes for the quality care I am likely to receive. The tone of professional and human respect is set at the top and permeates throughout. Everyone benefits including me!

My daughter got kicked in the face by a horse. It took the front 4 top teeth and shoved them back and made them loose and fractured the bone. I called AZ Max because after having my 8 wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Boyse I knew if anyone could help her it would be him. He was out of the office but the staff was able to talk with the other surgeons on staff and get her in. Dr. Pratt took good care of her and did an amazing job despite having heavy traffic in the office that day. THANK YOU so much for getting her in and helping her! I will always be grateful to Dr. Pratt and his assistants!❤️

AZ Max provided an amazing and comfortable experience from front desk to medical staff. I was extremely nervous about getting my wisdom teeth out. They were fully impacted and I had never had general anesthesia before. Dr. Romney went through all scenarios with me and put me at ease for every step. Nobody enjoys getting teeth pulled but they made it a pleasant experience with their friendly attitude and I knew I was going home with medications and tools I needed to recover. I even got a follow up phone call from Dr. Romney and the other medical professional in the room, Katie. They both called same day to see how I was feeling. To anyone who is even slightly nervous about a dental procedure, I highly recommend going to AZ Max.

Jessica is normally very nervous and full of anxiety but her experience was so comfortable, pain free and anxiety free. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much! Your office is the best. We also want to say thank you to Chancea for recommending that Jessica be a patient here at AZ Max. We will spread the word and recommend this practice to every and let them how great it is. If any one out there is contemplating dental work call this practice first, you you won't regret it. Thank you again.

I came in for my final visit with Dr. Brent Boyse for a torque test on my most recent dental implant. Everything looked great and healed nicely. The placement of the implants were beautiful! I have referred friends and contacts throughout the years with nothing but professional and positive feedback. Now having ended my career observing first hand your work, I get to have pleasure and experience to be one of your patients. I highly recommend Dr. Brent Boyse for your selection as your Oral Surgeon. Thank You! for this life changing experience. Lars H. Sorensen CDT

I was born with a severe open bite which caused TMJ symptoms, and accelerated bone deterioration (the condyle} that could have led to having permanent lockjaw if not corrected. When my insurance co denied the request for surgery, deeming it as a cosmetic procedure, Dr. Porter fought for me and provided additional medical proof that my surgery was medically necessary. My surgery was finally approved and there are now no visible signs that I ever had major facial surgery. He truly saved me.

We have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Porter and the entire staff. We are presently up in Lakeside, AZ in need of an oral surgeon. There are none up here. Fortunately, Arizona Maxillofacial Surgeons travel to the area twice a month, I believe. They were referred to us by my husband's dentist as he needed one of his wisdom teeth pulled, It was cracked in half and, therefore, needed an oral surgeon. He was in extreme pain. This all came down on a Monday. We contacted AZ MAX on Tuesday and on Friday he had the extraction. They (especially Rebecca) worked overtime to fit my husband into the surgical schedule which was already packed. They bring an entire staff up to Show Low and everyone single one of them are professional and caring, especially Dr. Porter. You are in excellent hands, should you choose this facility!!!! Disregard all the other reviews - I have no idea where they came from.
