Doctor Coyne, Marlena, and Melissa were great. I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed and they were super professional, got me in right away and took all the stress out of having them removed. I would recommend them anyday

They were very nice! Marlena made me feel very comfortable. And whoever usually answers the phone/checked me in was also very nice and helpful, think her name was Melissa maybe. Dr. Coyne was awesome and made the wisdom tooth extraction process quick and easy. wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I don't have insurance and it was less expensive than I anticipated. The healing process has also been much less intense than I anticipated. All in all it was very quick, easy, and affordable and the staff is super caring and friendly. I will definitely go back.

This is my third visit to Coyne Oral Surgery, and I can confidently say that I'm just as impressed now as I was years ago. Most recently, I brought my daughter in for her wisdom teeth removal, and I would recommend them without hesitation. Marlena and Melissa are incredibly compassionate and helpful, and Dr. Coyne is exceptional. She took the time to come out and explain the entire process beforehand, and even walked my daughter to the car afterward, going above and beyond to ensure we felt at ease.When I needed additional guidance after bringing my daughter home, their team responded quickly and provided everything she needed. I wholeheartedly recommend their office; you will feel like family, and they consistently deliver outstanding care. Thank you, Coyne team! We will see you again when it’s her brother’s turn!
