Fantastic experience: Most of us fear going to the Dentist for so many reasons. I was referred to Rio Grande Oral Surgery for a procedure that was delicately handled with the upmost professional, polite & kind staff. The overall experience was great & eased any trepidation. The Doctor & nurse followed up with me the evening of my surgery & the following week to check on me, answering all my questions with professional & caring advice. I highly recommend Rio Grande Oral Surgery!
Fantastic experience: I am normally an incredibly anxious person, so going into my wisdom tooth surgery was scary but Dr. Steel and Whitney made me feel so much better :) I had a bit of a panic attack waking up because I was so disoriented and Whitney held my hand when I reached out for it and kept telling me to breath and that it was going to be Ok!! Best experience I could have hoped for; they also let me keep my teeth, which was nice
Negative experience: Very unprofessional in how they communicate. I definitely would not recommend this practice and would advise going elsewhere.
Sorry you are upset. We strive to communicate effectively, but unfortunately we do have a strict no show policy. Even though we were unable to see you in our office we hope you can find someone that will accommodate your needs.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Steel is absolutely top-tier. From start to finish, my wisdom tooth extraction went incredibly smoothly. What really stood out was that he personally followed up with me later that day to check on how I was doing — that level of care is rare and deeply appreciated. His clinic has a super relaxed vibe — they play really cool music, which helped ease my nerves before the procedure. The entire staff was professional, friendly, and efficient. I felt completely taken care of, and the recovery has been easier than I expected. If you’re nervous about oral surgery, go to Dr. Steel — he’s the real deal.
Fantastic experience: I was treated exceptionally well by everyone and Dr. Steel has such a good bedside manner, as they say, he could be a heart surgeon.
Fantastic experience: They were wonderful in consoling all of my woes of having my son's wisdom teeth out. They were very empathetic and caring after he had some adverse reactions and was so groggy and nauseous afterwards. They followed up by texts and it was al and all a comforting wonderful experience to know I had support with my son.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Steel is amazing! I have gotten 3 implants by him, and it always feels like "oh, is it done already" when it is done.
Fantastic experience: My son was dreading getting his wisdom teeth removed, but Dr. Steel made him feel comfortable and did a great job. I would definitely recommend Dr. Steel.
Fantastic experience: The staff at Rio Grande Oral Surgery took excellent care of me when I had to get a bone graft and implants. I was really nervous about the procedure but they helped me feel more at ease and made the procedure as smooth as possible. Everyone, including Dr. Steel, was extremely kind and answered all my questions about the procedure. I really, really appreciate the friendliness and care that the staff gave me. Would extremely recommend to anyone needing oral surgery and implants. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I would say that Dr Steel and his staff truly care about their patients. They are all very patient and answer all your concerns. Dr Steel actually calls to see how you are doing and a week later Judith sends a text to check on you again. I made a great choice!

I was done and didn’t feel or hear anything. Surgeon and staff checked on me throughout the day and a couple of times in the week after. Very nice people, they know their stuff!
Fantastic experience: The doctor and staff were very nice. They have a YouTube channel explain pre-op and post-op so I could refer to it as needed Dr. Steel did an excellent job removing my wisdom teeth! I had minimal swelling and pain. I also appreciate that he extracted my bottom tooth so that the extraction site is just a small hole. It makes it easier to clean and keeps food from getting stuck. He gave me some a coupon and different options to fill out my post-op prescription so I could do price checks on them.

Fantastic experience: Doctor Steel and all staff were great. Very friendly, listened and answered questions. I just wish I had asked for anesthesia instead of nitrous oxide.

Fantastic experience: I had to get a tooth extracted this past week and Rio Grande Oral Surgery was amazing from start to finish. They got me in exactly at the time I was scheduled, talked me through the process, gave me the shots needed and came back in a very timely manner, my tooth was out and I was able to go home and rest. To my surprise when I woke up I had a voicemail from the surgeon making sure I was doing ok and to call if I had any issues. I didn't have any issues and healed up completely with no soreness just 4 days later. I just got a text from the office asking me how I'm doing again. I recommend this office to anyone who has high anxiety because I felt more comfortable with them than I have with any other dental office.

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing! The staff was so friendly and knowledgeable and very well prepared. Dr.Steel was so kind and very reassuring and had a great way of talking to me on my level. Also I felt like the service was affordable.

Fantastic experience: The entire process of getting an implant to include sinus lift and bone graft was excellent. I was honestly terrified of this procedure and Dr. Steele and his staff made this whole experience comfortable. I am now in the final stage of getting the actual crown with my regular dentist. I HIGHLY recommend Rio Grande Oral Surgery. I hope to never see them again, but if I do need work, this is the place!

Fantastic experience: Dr Steel and the staff are amazing. Dr Steel spoke to my 20yr old daughter, explained the process to remove all 4 wisdom teeth, gave her anesthesia options and did this in a matter of fact, pleasant manner. He has a great bedside manner. The staff at Rio Grande Oral Surgery are First Rate! They explained the process, cost, after care, and were very helpful from start to finish. We traveled from 4 hrs away, and they had prescriptions ready at our home pharmacy. Finally, Dr Steel called to check on my daughter the evening after surgery & we had another checkup the week after! EVERY aspect of my daughters wisdom teeth removal was a professional and caring process!

Fantastic experience: Wow! I have the worst dental anxiety and I've had bad experiences were it's been rushed, needled did damage just obvious they cared more about having you in and out THIS place on the other hand was so great and made me feel comfortable , the doctor was very understanding and helped make it as comfortable as possible . It was done quick .. they did everything precise and with care. I've never been to a place that's actually paid so much attention to detail. Thank you guys for everything - Kayla ( highly recommended , if they have wait list I'd say it's worth the wait for the caring experience )
We are glad you felt comfortable with us. Thanks for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: I was referred to a different oral surgeon to remove 10 teeth (4 wisdoms, 4 premolars, and 2 impacted teeth hidden under the gum) by the orthodontist. However, I decided to get them extracted at the Rio Grande Oral Surgery after reading all the good reviews about Dr. Steel and his staff. I was extremely nervous about the procedure, and the medical assistants were very considerate and attentive as they tried to ease my anxiety. The procedure itself lasted for an hour, and they sent me home with a detailed post operation care instructions. Dr. Steel even called me himself to check up on me that afternoon. Kudos to the team! The experience was way better than what I imagined. I couldn’t take any pain meds the first day after the procedure due to so much bleeding; however, the pain was very tolerable with a little swelling on my right side. I’m recovering well without any complications (dry sockets or infection) by following all the instructions for post operation care though the bleeding from one impacted site was the most annoying part as it lasted for over a week. So far, my stitches are starting to dissolve. I would say if you were to remove wisdom teeth only, the healing process would be much faster.
We are glad you chose us and happy you had a great experience too. Thanks for your feedback.
Fantastic experience: I went in for wisdom teeth removal a bit anxious because of what I’ve heard pain and recovery. Dr. Steel and his staff made it amazing, the lady was checking up on me making sure that I was ok the whole time before and after I got sedated. I still received a call in the evening from Dr. Steel making sure that I was ok and if I had any questions. I highly recommend this team they’re genuine, amazing, and will answer any questions you have for them.
We appreciate your feedback it means a lot to us. Thanks for your review.
Fantastic experience: Dr Steele and staff acknowledged my anxiety about the molar extraction, and eased my concerns. The process was quick and painless. The doctor called me in the evening to see how I was doing. This amazed me! Then a week later a staff member called and conveyed my one question about expectations for the empty spot to fill in. She replied with his answer promptly. My husband had the same experience last year with this office. We highly recommend Dr. Steele and his crew.
We are happy things went well for your. Thanks for the feedback and review.
Fantastic experience: My son , Dante, said it was great. The staff was great. He was nervous at first, but after reassurance from assistant he was comfortable. Definitely recommends Rio Grande Oral Surgery.
Eddy, Thanks for letting us know how things went. We appreciate your review.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Steel & his Team simply put -- are AWESOME!!! They are the "crème de la crème" of Oral Surgery! Referred to their office by my amazing Dentist "Dr. Armand Giannini", I was certain that I would be in great hands. Especially knowing that two years prior, my wife was successfully treated by Dr. Steel to extract an infected molar, and replace it with an implant. Still, I was dragging my heels going into Dr. Steel's office the other day, to have my rear molar extracted from a failed crown. After all, who looks forward to having a molar extracted?! Yet, I left his office grinning check to check, and doing back flips! Here's why: From start to finish, the whole process was so well done. Everyone mentioned here was so gracious! From my initial pleasant communications with both Ashley & Esther, I was immediately accommodated on to their schedule. The check in process at their office was so easy & smooth. Then, Dr. Steel's upbeat assistant Reyna, comfortably prepared me for the procedure. Aside from everyone's positive, professionalism, there was such a sense of compassion & caring for my anxiety expressed in anticipation of my molar removal. All my questions were satisfactorily answered, and patiently so. My fears were instantly quelled, as Dr. Steel masterfully extracted my tooth. So efficiently! So Painless! WOW!!! How grateful & blessed I am to have been aligned for my procedure with Dr. Steel & his Awesome Team! Recovery is going so smoothly, and I now look very much forward to receiving my implant with them in a few short months. I speak here completely from my heart! Rest assured when I say: "You will be in the greatest of care with Dr. Steel & his Team at "Rio Grande Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center!!!" They deserve this Five Star Rating...but to the 5th Power!
Wow, what an awesome review. Thanks Guy for your feedback. We appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: I had a referal to Dr Steel to extract a bicuspid tooth. It was easy to schedule an appointment. Post extraction there was minimal pain and swelling. I appreciated the follow up after the extraction
Bob, Thanks for the review. We are happy you had a good experience and recovered well.
