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.

the people who gave him bad reviews are dumb he is the best oral surgeon in missouri

After having my wisdom teeth removed, I was in a lot of pain. I went back to the office to have them check for dry socket. I was treated terribly. The nurse was very demeaning and annoyed and the doctor didn’t even see me. The nurse said I was fine and doubled my pain medication- not what I wanted! Still in pain, I went to my normal dentist. They found I had a bad infection and gave me antibiotics. I would NEVER recommend Dr. Newman! Expect long wait times, RUDE staff, and an infection!

Dr. Newman has done oral surgery on 3 of my kids. He was very compassionate and caring. I will not use anyone else for any future surgeries.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I have tried to see Dr. Newman on two separate occasions. He had to cancel both times putting me in a bind for finding another physician to do wisdom teeth removal on short notice. Our schedules are extremely busy and he has no regard for other peoples' lives. I am not happy with either experience (or lack thereof) with Dr. Newman. My advice, go somewhere else. He is not reliable!

I don't have any complaints about the medical staff, but the billing is completely unacceptable, timeliness doesn't appear to be in their dictionary.

I would rate zero stars but that was not an option. If you're looking for unnecessary extractions and an ER visit for developing cellulitis in your face and taking antibiotics for weeks to get thru the infection...then this is your guy. Took seven days to finally get a call back and ultimately confirmed mistake in extracting wrong tooth but claims its not his fault.

Dr Newmans staff was rude. His office has no consideration whatsoever. I understand that time is important but sometimes they should have consideration We we're late 5 mins but the never accepted us. We drove 4 hrs just to get Dr Newman's office , I have a child with autism that had bad day, so we have to stop at the road to calm her down, that's the reason we're late. We left our place 6am and we got there 10:50am. My child was ready for surgery, nothing in her mouth since 12am til 10:45am.

I would not recommend Dr. Newman to friends and family for a number of reasons. Discourteous and inept office staff which includes his receptionists, nurse, and insurance filing clerk. At every visit, the sign in the reception area stated that he was running on time but still led to hour long waits in the patient rooms. With regards to my opinion of Dr. Newman, and for privacy?s sake, I will just state that I would never visit him for treatment of any kind.

Dr. Newman did a fantastic job of getting in and out quickly and efficiently without missing the necessities. He and his staff were always available for questions.
