"Dr.Bess at Southeastern Oral Surgery & Dental Implants of Dothan has once again been absolutely amazing! He did me and my brother’s wisdom teeth removal as teens (brother had rare condition, Hyperdontia, so many wisdom teeth had to go) and he once again worked on me yesterday for a removal. Hands down, the ONLY practice and their BEST oral surgeon in Dothan! No trouble with getting anesthesia or PROPER post-op medication for basic things. Even accepts most dental insurances! Only ever recommend this place and this Dr."

"Absolutely amazing experience. I had to get oral surgery to have 4 teeth removed and it is the next day with hardly any pain. They did a great job. The staff was very friendly and helped put me at ease before the surgery. Will definitely be going back if I ever need oral surgery again. My dentist was Dr. Bess. They have an amazing team."
"Really don’t want to loose Dr Bess but he deserves to retire and have a wonderful life because he has helped so many people, including me.Remember to get doctors younger than yourself so you will outlive their career.You are the very best Dr Bess and you will truly be missed. Missed by your patients and your staff, yes they are devastated by your leaving.Thank you for all you have done for me over the years, I will miss you."
"Dr Bess was great, as usual. I was diagnosed with an abscessed tooth by my dentist and Dr Bess worked me in and extracted the tooth. The entire staff was very nice and my experience was very pleasant. Dr Bess has done 2 implants for me previously and every visit has been excellent. I highly recommend Southeastern Oral Surgery!"

"I had all 4 Wisdom teeth removed this month but Dr. Bess and his team and they did a great job. My consult and surgery were same day and I was in and out of the clinic within an hour.

"Excellent experience!The staff and Dr. Bess were very professional and friendly."
"I highly recommend Dr Bess and his staff. My son recently had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted. Mrs. Butler wa the one I initially spoke with with the intake information. She was knowledgeable and professional. I was apprehensive and anxious about this procedure. Because 6 years ago I had my wisdom teeth removed with Dr Hassan and suffered permanent nerve damage trigeminal neuralgia. Mrs Butler assured me everything would be ok. Dr Bess and his entire staff were phenomenal. They called to check in my son and made she he was recovering well. They provided me with as much information as possible. 4 day later my son is back to normal. Thank you everyone for making this process an easy one. I highly recommend Dr Bess and his staff. You will be taken care of!"
"wisdom tooth extraction - Dr Bess is the best. He removed a wisdom tooth with ease. I am 68 and there were no problems or complications. The staff was super friendly too. "
"Very nice staff super sweet put me at ease 😁😊 thank u guys"
"I had my wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Bess and would rate him and his team higher than 5/5 stars if I could. His nurse was wonderful, but sadly I can’t remember her name. Natalie, the CRNA was also wonderful. Also, the recovery team was great (unfortunately I can’t recall their names due to some mild grogginess). I have had very minimal pain by following the post op rules. The only thing I regret is not getting my wisdom teeth out sooner!"
"I cannot thank the staff at Southeastern Oral enough. I called Monday morning telling them the pain I was in and that my wisdom-tooth referral had expired. They still got me in for my consultation the next day, and my surgery two days later. Everyone was so kind and professional. Dr. Bess performed my surgery with the help of my nurse Mindy and the anesthesiologist Natalie. From start to finish, they answered all questions and made me feel very comfortable. I highly recommend this place to anyone needing wisdom tooth extraction."
"Dr.Bess and his staff were really nice and professional. I would recommend anyone to go see him because he is the BEST!"
"Many thanks to Dr. Bess and his lovely staff for taking such amazing care of my daughter for her first surgery. From consult to post op the office went above and beyond to care for her. The nurses were very respectful and kind to my daughter and her needs. They even considered her immunocompromised little brother at home and kept her socially distanced and safe from any germs. One of the nurses even called day 1 post op to check on her. These things really matter and make you feel safe and seen. Thank you all so much."
"I liked Dr. Bess and he has an outstanding nurse when you have surgery."
"I got my dental implant done here and couldn't be happier with the result. Dr. Bess and the entire office were prompt and professional. Highly recommend"
"By far the best at what he does! I recommend him to anyone. Definitely worth the wait if you have one!"
"I highly recommend Southeastern Oral-Maxillofacial & Cosmetic Surgery Center, P.C. of Dothan, AL. I’ve been fortunate enough to have the Oral and Maxiofillial surgeons of this group care for my oral surgery needs for many, many years and I have yet to have anything but excellent experiences.Dr. Davis is now retired but while he was practicing he performed oral surgery and placed several implants for me over a period of years. Drs. Davis and Bess, in consultation with my dentist Dr. Dollar, also surgically moved my jaw forward correcting my bite and very successfully relieved the jaw pain and headaches the misalignment had caused.In the last several years Dr. Falconer has placed five implants for me and I have found him to be as personable, kind and caring a professional as was Dr. Davis.I also want to commend the excellent staff who keep this very busy office running so smoothly. Each of them is pleasant and eager to assist the patients and their family whether in person or by telephone.Last but certainly not least, I cannot say enough positive things about Ms. Shelley, the implant co-ordinator for this practice. Over the the last few years Ms. Shelley has worked with me tirelessly, helping me with scheduling, sometimes rescheduling appointments, solving co-ordination and communication problems with a “former, less than cooperative” dentist’s office I switched to when we moved away from the area, and keeping me knowledgable enough to make intelligent financial decisions about lost teeth. This young woman is very kind and caring, always pleasant and helpful and such a nice person!We drive two hours each way to be able to use this surgery group and I consider it worth every mile we travel which should tell you how highly I recommend them."
