James Walter's Online Review Report Card

I had been dreading my oral surgery so much. I have other health problems and this was absolutely necessary. He fully explained my options for anesthesia, numbing, or mild sedation and laughing gas. He explained what would be best for my heart situation and I went with that. He took care of my surgery, left detailed aftercare information, and even called to check on me that evening. At my follow up, he addressed a temporary denture issue (this was not his problem, my regular dentist was supposed to make sure this was resolved,) but to ensure I didn’t have to deal with the pain of the ill fitting plate, he worked on it. He is very upfront and knowledgeable and would be my first recommendation for anyone needing oral surgery.

Dr. Walter has always provided outstanding service for me. I have seen him for an infection resulting from an extraction (by a dentist) that left chips of bone in my jaw, a problem that he correctly surgically. He has removed wisdom teeth for me, after which I had no swelling or bruising. He correctly diagnosed a salivary stone and tonsil stones for me. Most recently, he removed a fibroma on the inside of my cheek, a quick and painless procedure. In every case, my diagnoses and treatment were flawless. In addition, Dr. Walter's office staff is exceptional. THE PHONE IS ALWAYS ANSWERED IN A TIMELY MANNER BY A REAL LIVE HUMAN BEING! When having difficulties recently with an insurance claim, I called several times. In each case, I spoke with a different member of the staff. Surprisingly, regardless of whom I spoke with, my claim info. was quickly accessed, and accurate information was provided. Without any hesitation, I highly recommend Dr. Walter and his practice!

he did my implants....ALL of which have had to be replaced! They were not put in properly which created more problems. This has been a very expensive lesson. Stay away from this guy. I had to put a star to write the review...he certainly doesn't deserve one!

I nearly died in 2020 I was referred for wisdom tooth removal and impaction having an infection under one tooth. After I was in so much pain I could barely keep water down . And he forgot to call in antibiotics. I couldn't breathe because my throat was swelling. Went in for an emergency appointment and was waiting a long time even though we got there right on time of not a little before. For an EMERGENCY appointment. My mom had to go in and ask twice. (This was during covid so we had to wait outside) I finally stumbled into the lobby and passed out. They finally took me back. I was faced away from the door in the chair for I don't know how long I was back there by myself. I couldn't breathe and I passed out again in the chair. They finally did the emergency new surgery. I went home and two days later was in the ICU as the swelling continued. They almost had to intubate me. I remember one of the nurses coming in, gasping, "what happened to her face? I was in the hospital 5 days and my recovery after was slow. They even tried to charged me for the dentist coming to see me in the hospital. Two months later I noticed I'd been having pain going up my leg. Not long after being told it was, sciatica, I knew it was different. I wound up turning blue in my doctor's office. It was DVT all the way up my leg and multiple pulmonary embolisms in my lungs. I was hospitalized and put on blood thinners twice. I will have to go back on them if I ever get pregnant. I'm 23. I had to use a wheelchair for a long time and I am still having side effects today. If I could give 0 stars and sue, I would

Staff is excellent but never had to pay before a procedure! I find Dr Walter very professional but short. His staff more than makes up for his busyness and the assistant who helped today was extremely compassionate and caring. I will see how everything turns out. We were assured this is the best place in the Triad.

I first saw Dr. Walter in 2011, when I was struggling with continued pain following a wisdom tooth extraction. I had returned several times to the dentist who performed the extraction, and she could find nothing wrong. On a co-worker's recommendation, I saw Dr. Walter and was relieved by his expertise and quick analysis of my problem. (I believe he is able to leap tall buildings and has x-ray vision.) He performed surgery and dug out bits of bone and infection in my jaw. At the same time, he removed a remaining wisdom tooth. I have never forgotten his good advice to take pain medication BEFORE the pain becomes severe. His staff gave me a dose of Vicodin before I left the office that day, and I may have had to take one more. I had absolutely no complications (no bruising or swelling and only very minor pain) and healed quickly. A couple of years ago I began having swelling and pain on the right side of my face that baffled both my primary care doctor and my dentist. I decided to see Dr. Walter again, and he immediately diagnosed parotitis. He explained the problem and advised me to drink large amounts of water and suck on sour candy. That treatment has worked well until very recently. Now the problem has become chronic, and tomorrow I will schedule another appointment with Dr. Walter. He has my complete confidence, and I recommend him wholeheartedly!

I like this guy. He installed two upper implants with no problems at all. Exceptional work!

I was referred here by my dentist for an emergency abscess-cracked tooth extraction. I left the office sobbing in pain when they refused to treat me without $463 and refused to hold a check to deposit the next day. They did hand me a brochure for their credit plan which I, unfortunately, do not qualify for. All they had to do was wait 24 hours to deposit my payment. It was an emergency and I had zero time to get to the bank. I will never recommend this office to anyone. Not everyone has an extra $500 laying around for immediate use. It was simply one day I needed to get to the bank and they would've had their money. Meanwhile I get to continue to be in absolutely the worst pain I have ever felt in my life until I can find a different surgeon. Thanks for the understanding and compassion (yes, that was sarcasm).

Superior service and follow up on two oral surgery experiences with Dr. Walter.

worst experience ever for my teeth. After the procedure I experienced the worst pain in my life, even the pain killers not working. I had a fever up to 100.4 that night. It is just not even a small procedure.
