Dr. Blair Reviews
Dr. Blair and his amazing team — Kim, Christi, Kristin, Taylor, Tiffany, Leslie and Elenia — delivered outstanding care. Their customer service was warm, thorough, and truly made me feel at ease. Dr. Blair was transparent and communicative throughout, and my extraction was quick, painless, and professional. I felt completely safe and comfortable from start to finish. Highly recommend AOFS to anyone seeking excellent oral care.
No one wants to be told by their general dentist that they need to see an oral surgeon. Well, I was referred to Dr. Henry Blair of Atlanta Oral & Facial Surgery in Roswell. Such professionalism! From the front desk staff to the doctor's assistant, making me feel so at ease getting me ready for my procedure. Dr. Blair explained everything in detail and proceeded to follow through with his expertise. I myself had worked in the dental field for 35 years, so I feel confident in saying what a great experience I had!
My daughter had two extractions performed at AOFS by Dr. Blair. Everyone from the front desk, to the nurses, the anesthesiologist, and Dr. Blair all went out of their way to make sure my daughter had a stress and anxiety free surgery. This was her first time going under, and everything was explained to us and her that put everyone’s nerves at ease. She went from trembling to laughing on her way back to the OR. They also were extremely helpful with determining me out of pocket, upfront cost. I would highly recommend Dr. Blair and staff for any oral procedures.
The office environment very nice. The staff greeted with great enthusiasm. They greeted you by your name as if they were good friends. Kim did my intake and introduction. She gave me clear instructions on what to do. Taking X-rays was so easy and not uncomfortable at all. Dr. Blair greeted me and gave clear instructions on the procedure, what he was going to do followup. He said we are going to take good care of you. I felt completely confident that I was in good hands. It was well worth my drive from Stone Mountain. Thank you for making feel welcomed.
This was my second experience of having implant surgery done by Dr. Blair and once again the experience was perfect. From the friendly greeting by the receptionist when I walked in, to the pleasant x-ray technician, which was followed by the consultation with Tiffany who answered all questions in such a thorough and comforting way and once again meeting Dr. Blair who treats you like a person not just a client you are made to feel important that your comfort level and care are important to him. The return trip for the surgery was so professional as well as relaxed and comfortable with the prep team being so friendly explaining all, but also being personable. The confidence in Dr. Blair has been well founded, that's why when I needed this procedure done for another tooth there was no other choice for me. They're simply the best.
