The Proof is in Our Patients

They helped me with my problem very quickly, the staff makes you feel as if you were at home, they explained the procedure in great detail so that I understood exactly what they were going to do to me and if in case I had questions I would ask them with confidence . I had some questions and they kindly answered them. Everything went perfect and without any problem. Thanks to Dr. MacDowell

I had an ongoing issue that "erupted" into a serious issue on a Friday afternoon. I was referred to Elevated and called around 2pm on a Friday. By 3:30 I was in the chair and out the door after surgery by 5pm. I have had no complications since. Dr. MacDowell and his entire staff were professional.

I want to say Dr. James McDowell was and is the most caring individual I have ever had the pleasure of being a patient with. His level of compassion deserves the highest level of respect and appreciation. Please consider this company as the gold standard of oral surgery options. I would trust them with my life.
