Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Tried to see Dr First slightly early and drove all the way from the city to see him , waited in an empty waiting room for an hour. Went outside and saw him walking in - asked very politely if he would have any time - he replied that he has patients asleep in the office already waiting for him to come and do surgery ! I can respect a physician being busy but lying about something like that is in unacceptable ( especially to a patient who happens to be a surgeon!) 1. He should not have patients asleep without him being in the building 2. If he cannot see me then don’t lie 3. Tried to reschedule and no one from his office called us yet for a time ( 24 hrs later) - don’t trust him to do surgery since don’t know what else will he lie about ? and office staff extremely rude - told me we can have a phone call follow up instead but on a different day - so what happened to my scheduled appointment time ??? Havnt heard from anyone in the office yet. What a waste of my time and unnecessary aggravation.

My daughter and I were very concerned about removing all four wisdom teeth. Dr. First not only eased our minds but he did a wonderful job. His staff was friendly and I would highly recommend this team without a doubt in my mind. Thank you, Dr. First.

I have been a patient of Dr. First for over 10 years and my entire family uses him as well. Dr. First and his Staff go above and beyond making you feel comfortable and at ease while performing Oral procedures. I highly recommend Dr. First if you require any Oral & Maxillofacial dental procedures. Thank you Dr. First and your staff for all you have done for me.
