Dental Patient Reviews – Canton, GA

I cannot begin to express my complete confidence in Dr. Carey and his staff. I have known Dr. Carey for 10 years and his primary concern has always been my patients comfort, health and well being. He always displays compassion, dedication, integrity, kindness and a genuine respect for my patients. Doctors of his caliber are rare in today's world, that is why I chose Dr. Carey to work on my own mom as well as my patients. Hands down, he is the best!

-- Dr. Mark Goch, General Dentist

I am delighted to welcome North Metro Oral & Implant Surgery to Kennesaw. Dr. Carey has been an esteemed colleague of mine since he started his practice in Canton, GA. He provides exceptional care to my patients, so exceptional that Dr. Carey has treated my staff and our families. He is an excellent surgeon, and a kind, compassionate doctor committed to the well being of his patients. As a general practitioner, I have the utmost respect and appreciation for his level of expertise in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery. Dr. Carey is dedicated to continuing education not only for himself and his staff but also for his referring Doctors and their staffs by facilitating and sponsoring a top tier dental study club. Dr. Carey also finds time to serve indigent members of the community.

With Dr. Carey and his team next door, we are excited to have him even closer so that we may continue our partnership and provide excellent dental care to the Kennesaw community for years to come. We are so happy and proud to call North Metro Oral & Implant Surgery our neighbor!

-- Dr. Karyn Stockwell, General Dentist

Working with Dr. Carey has always been a pleasure for me and my patients. I've known John for almost 15 years and my admiration for him and his office continues to grow. His office is second to none when it comes to making a patient feel special. All, not most, of my patients return with glowing reviews for Dr. Carey and his staff. I don't get this kind of feedback anywhere else. His surgical outcomes are extremely predictable and as a board certified Orthodontist, this is of utmost importance. Going to the same church, I've come to know his wife and children. They are an incredibly tight family unit and this is largely due to his unyielding dedication. It is my pleasure to write this review and let people know what great Oral Surgeon Dr. Carey is.

-- Dr. Michael Williams, Orthodontist

It is with great pleasure that I write a testimonial for Dr. John Carey...And it's not only because he is a Bulldogs fan. I have been working with John for the last 12 years and eagerly send my patients to his office. As a prosthodontist, my patients are often compromised and in need of special care. It is only at Dr. Carey's office that I find the unique blend of surgical expertise and a special warm touch that is missing in so many of today's doctor offices. We have worked together on hundreds and hundreds of dental implant cases and I appreciate his willingness to communicate and utilize multi-disciplinarian care. Furthermore, Dr. Carey's staff is the greatest. It takes a special office to have staff members that thoroughly enjoy working together. All of his staff has been with him for years and years. This experience lends itself to smooth office visits and my patients notice the difference!

Lastly, on a personal note, John is a great husband and father to four super kids. Every time I call him, he is doing an activity with one of his children! It's this kind of character that makes him an exceptional Oral Surgeon.

-- Dr. Warren Berne, Prosthodontist

I have been referring patients to Dr. Carey’s office for over 6 years now. In that time I have been very pleased with the results that I have seen. Most importantly however, I’m pleased that my patients come back to my office with glowing remarks about Dr. Carey as well as his staff. Many of my patients have told me how caring, considerate and gentle he is and how surprised they were that he actually listened to their concerns and addressed them. My patients' well-being is of the utmost importance to me and I have full confidence in Dr. Carey and his staff that they will be treated honestly and with great care.

-- Dr. L. Michael Cox, General Dentist

It is with great confidence that I can recommend Dr. Carey to my patients. For the last 12 years, he and his wonderful staff have always treated my patients with the greatest of care and compassion. John is consistently on the cutting edge of new developments in dentistry and is eager to teach others what he has learned. The team approach to treating our mutual patients makes it comfortable for me to know John and I will have discussed what we believe is the best treatment plan for each patient before treatment is implemented. John and his staff are always careful to follow up with each patient to make sure their oral surgery experience was the best it possibly could have been.

As a dental surgeon, Dr. Carey's ethics, training and technical skills are outstanding; as a colleague, Dr. Carey is always communicating new ideas and is very encouraging. As a person, John is compassionate, always kind, a wonderful husband and father, and a man of integrity.

-- Dr. John Peacock, General Dentist

We feel fortunate to have a great working relationship with Dr. Carey. He has served the patients of our practice well; as a caring, considerate, and skilled oral surgeon. As the founder and director of our Cherokee Study Club, Dr. Carey promotes and encourages continued education and communication between the members of our local dental community!

Dr. John Carey has been treating and caring for my patients for the past eleven years. We have a very busy practice and do a lot of implants and reconstructions. It is such an incredible comfort for me as a clinician, that when I send simple extractions or complex cases to him, the result is always the same. Not only is his work precise and predictable, moreover, his easygoing manner makes for a completely positive visit. With no other specialists do I get this kind of steady, positive patient feedback. I am so thankful to have had him by my side these many years.

-- Dr. Scott Merritt, General Dentist

I have known Dr. Carey for over 12 years. In that time, I referred many patients to his practice. I was always confident that he would provide the best care possible for them and that he would be a great reflection of my own practice. That aside, I needed to have my own tooth extracted. Dr. Carey did the procedure for me and did a great job. It was fast and PAINLESS. I would say that he and his staff went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. Although we are in the same field, I never take things like that for granted.

-- Dr. Nelson Woo, Endodontist

Dr. John Carey and his staff have received rave reviews from our patients for over a decade. Frequently, families in our practice will return to Dr. Carey for additional family members needing oral surgical care. That level of confidence and trust speaks for itself. It is not just his skill as a clinician and surgeon, but the care and concern expressed by his entire staff. He has provided care for our patients over a wide range of ages, medical conditions and surgical problems. We are thankful to have such a fine resource for our patients here in North Georgia.

-- Dr. Carl Russell, Orthodontist

I wanted to take a moment to express thanks for the quality of care you provide for the patients I refer to you. I have been an orthodontist for 26 years and have worked with a lot of wonderful oral surgeons, but none with better surgical technique and knowledge than you. It has been great having you work with me on several difficult cases. I appreciate your professional opinions and surgical advice. I know I can just pick up the phone or email you a question and you are there for me. Thanks!

I continually have patients I send to you come back thanking me for the wonderful referral. They usually start off saying how wonderful the staff was and how smooth the surgery went…and of course “Dr. Carey was excellent”. I am relaxed knowing that when I refer patients to your office it will be a positive experience that will reflect positively on us for sending them to an excellent surgeon working with a top notch staff.

I have been impressed with you since we first met. As we both know, I would not have opened my practice on Sixes Road if it were not for your advice and guidance to do so. I sincerely appreciate ALL you have done!

-- Dr. Jerry Smith, Orthodontist

Dr. John Carey is is a caring and compassionate person. He takes the time to get to know his patients and makes them feel at ease. His staff reflects the same attributes and they all work very hard to make every patient feel comfortable, especially in what would normally be stressful situations for the patient.

I have been referring my patients to Dr. Carey for many years. After seeing Dr. Carey, my patients consistently return to my office singing his praises. They all comment on how he spends time with them and makes them feel comfortable. Both he and his staff take the time necessary to explain the procedures and also follow up with a personal call afterwards. Patients are very impressed with their overall experience.

I have the highest regard for Dr. Carey as an individual and as a skilled Oral Surgeon. I trust my patients and my family to his care. I can think of no higher recommendation than putting one's children in his care.

-- Dr. Barb Talbot, General Dentist

I am so grateful to John and his wonderful staff for treating all of my referring patients with the utmost respect and dignity. Dr. Carey is one of the most trusted specialists that I have ever referred to and he is very accessible when needed to talk about difficult cases. Personally, his accessibility shows how much he truly cares for his patients and profession. I have worked with him for over 9 years and his remarkable bedside manner has always shown through with each and every patient.

-- Dr. Shay D. Lykins, General Dentist

We have been referring our patients to Dr. Carey and his staff for several years now. Their caring approach to oral surgery extends from the waiting room to follow up calls. They show the utmost respect to patients no matter the situation. I will continue to refer my patients, and my family, to Dr. Carey and his office for years to come.

-- Dr. Nick Johnson, General Dentist

Dr. Carey has a reputation for being a highly skilled and ethical oral surgeon, which is why my office refers our patients to him. Patients always say great things about Dr. Carey and his team when I ask them how their visit was. I feel very comfortable knowing that my patients are getting the best care possible when they see him for their oral surgery needs. Dr. Carey also heads up a study club in our county, which means he is always in the loop with the latest technologies and techniques to better serve his patients. You will not find a better person or oral surgeon to take care of your needs.

-- Dr. Poya Moghadam, General Dentist

Since Dr. Carey opened his oral surgery practice on Sixes Road we have referred hundreds of patients to his office for a wide range of surgical concerns including extractions, oral pathology evaluations and biopsies, wisdom teeth, implants, pre- prosthetic surgery and traumatic injuries. Dr. Carey has treated our patients with the utmost professional care and courtesy. We are fortunate having him practice in this area, and I do not hesitate referring patients to his office.

-- Dr. S. Bruce O'Neal, General Dentist

As a General Dentist, who we refer our patients to is a direct reflection upon our practice. We have many options to choose from but have chosen Dr. Carey as our primary Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon. This decision was not taken lightly and was based on his surgical skill, office dynamics, and Dr. Carey’s bedside manners. I guess my best testimonial is that when my father and two brothers needed oral surgery, I sent them to Dr. Carey’s office.

-- Dr. Michael Razzano, General Dentist

We feel fortunate to have a great working relationship with Dr. Carey. He has served the patients of our practice well; as a caring, considerate and skilled oral surgeon. As the founder and director of our Cherokee Study Club, Dr. Carey promotes and encourages continued education and communication between the members of our local dental community!

-- Drs. Miles and Anthea Mazzawi, Pediatric Dentists

Dr. Carey consistently provides my patients with excellent care and treatment. I can always count on him to be thorough and diligent in his care and in his communication with me as a referring dentist. I greatly appreciate the time and effort that Dr. Carey has invested in the local dental community by coordinating the Cherokee Seattle Study Club for the past 10 years. As a member I have had the opportunity to meet and learn from some of the most premier speakers in the country.

-- Dr. Brenda Fritz, General Dentist

Dr. Carey is a wonderful doctor and man. My son had to have a tooth pulled after an accident at preschool when he was 3 years old. I never thought that it could go as smoothly as it did. Dr. Carey was so patient with a scared 3-year-old and managed to turn our visit into a good experience for my son. I would recommend Dr. Carey to anyone who has any type of oral surgery needs.

-- Christina C.

I'm pleased to let everyone know what a wonderful experience I had as a patient of Dr. Carey. His excellent reputation of experience and expertise in his field was certainly evident in my outcome. Of course, when you visit Dr. Carey's office, one immediately notices the friendly and efficient staff who made my visits welcoming and comfortable.

-- Ann Miskanic

I cannot say enough about Dr. Carey and all of his staff. I have had need to visit his office several times over the last three years. Both of my children had their wisdom teeth extracted and we were very pleased. I have had many issues with my teeth, and Dr. Carey has been very caring and thorough - always explaining all that's going on and proceeding with the best possible care. I would recommend this office for any needs you might have for an oral surgeon.

-- Shirley Perrin

Dr. Carey not only has treated me, but my children as well. He made my wisdom teeth extractions very simple and pain free. The staff was wonderful and very easy to work with, and the new office is in an easy to find location and was very impressive. In addition to taking out my wisdom teeth, he treated my 14-year-old son last year for a jaw injury and was absolutely wonderful with him. He made him feel at ease and was able to take X rays in the office which saved us a trip to the hospital. He is very personable and is someone I trust my whole family with.

-- Jason Breyo

Thanks to Dr. Carey's skill and expertise, my dangling root tip was properly removed from an extraction-gone-wrong by my former dentist. The staff's friendly professionalism coupled with the office's upscale décor make this an inviting place to visit. As one who has an aversion to dental work, these factors along with Dr. Carey's dry wit helped put my fears to rest. I would recommend this practice to anyone who appreciates competence, professionalism and ambience!

-- Laurie

I recently had my wisdom teeth taken out by Dr. Carey. The staff was so helpful in helping me find the office and making appointments. Everyone there made me feel right at home, like they have known me for years. Before the surgery everyone did everything, they could to answer any of my questions and made me feel calm. Dr. Carey even answered my crazy questions and never once laughed at any of them.

Thank you for all y’all did for me!

-- Sharon Watkins

I am writing to say "thank you" to Dr. Carey and his staff at Cherokee Oral Surgery for taking such good care of me during my recent surgery! From the first visit to set up my consultation to the day of the actual surgery, I felt quite comfortable and well informed. The office staff helped me understand what would be involved financially and made sure that I understood what would be expected of me and my insurance company. The nurses were great and I knew that I would be well cared for during the surgery. Dr. Carey spent quite a bit of time with me and answered any questions that I had about my surgery. The surgery itself was very successful and I really "didn't feel a thing!" All in all, if you have to have oral surgery, I would highly recommend Cherokee Oral Surgery. I am glad that my surgery is done but I'm really glad that I chose Cherokee Oral Surgery! Thanks!

-- Dee Williford

Thank you Dr. Carey and staff for making me feel welcomed and relaxed during my visit for my dental implant. The office is state of the art and I will definitely recommend Dr. Carey and his caring staff to my friends. Thanks.

-- Irene Freischknecht

I recently had a consultation visit and then a scheduled oral surgery performed by Dr. Carey at Cherokee Oral Surgery. I am an anxious person when it comes to going to a dentist; however, I was pleased to discover how understanding and patient the staff was with me. They explained everything to me and understood my anxiety. When the day came for my surgery, they were very caring and professional. Dr. Carey was very compassionate and did an excellent job on my tooth while I was "taking a little nap" They offer general anesthesia for anxious patients which is great! After surgery, I was given thorough instructions to follow for the healing of my tooth. My tooth is healing very well, and I have had no complications. I would definitely recommend Dr. Carey and his staff to anyone who needs to have oral surgery or implants etc… Excellent staff, Excellent dentist (oral surgeon), and an all-around good experience for an anxious patient!

-- Karen Junk

Dr. John Carey and his staff were so thorough, professional, and courteous from my consultation to my procedure. The greeting at the front desk was so heartwarming that I felt at ease from the beginning. Dr. Carey’s assistant explained in detail the procedure and also, the instructions following with helpful hints in taking care of my tooth and gums. Dr. Carey explained each step during the procedure, so I knew exactly what he was doing with no surprises.

-- Wanda Espy

When our dentist informed us that our third child needed to have his wisdom teeth removed, I asked friends for a recommendation, as the surgeon we had previously used is now retired. Dr. Carey’s name kept coming up. We were pleasantly surprised at the amount of time he spent with us, answering questions and going over the procedure. Afterwards we were very impressed with how friendly and attentive the office staff was. They were very helpful in answering our questions about post-op care.

-- Jeannie Turner

I've been a patient of Dr. Carey's for over five years. I have had several extractions performed with subsequent implants placed. In all instances, Dr. Carey and his team have been superb. The doctor is very responsive to my individual problems, the staff has been very courteous and helpful, both during, and after my procedures were performed. I have been very impressed with their professionalism and caring nature. My thanks to the team!

-- Joe Clapper

We have had such a wonderful experience had Dr. Carey's office. We went there 7 years ago for my daughter to have a frenectomy. Impressive is the only way to describe how well Dr. Carey treated my (then) 7-year-old. Six months ago, we had the opportunity to go back to have our son's wisdom teeth removed. There aren't any teenagers that look forward to having that done, but the rapport that Dr. Carey has with this age group is great! My son had an easy time and that is because of the skilled, calm nature of Dr. Carey and his staff. When it is time to have my daughter's wisdom teeth removed in 3 years I wouldn't consider going to anyone else.

-- Jana Bravo

Dr. Carey's office is extremely professional and friendly. During my consultation, Dr. Carey was very thorough when explaining what was involved in my procedure, as well as what to expect during recovery. I was able to schedule my surgery at a time that was convenient for me without a problem. The entire staff was very accommodating and made me feel comfortable the day of my procedure. I really couldn't have asked for a better experience!

-- Jenna Tlumak

I wanted to say thanks for the outstanding treatment provided by your office. My recent oral surgery with Dr. Carey was an excellent experience and amazingly pain-free. Thanks!

-- Brenda Greathouse

Thank You first and foremost for the professional diligence and compassion that I received from you and your staff during my time of need. I had to get 4 extractions done at the same time in which I really didn't know how my oral surgery would turn out from very bad past dental experiences. I am very pleased to announce that after my pleasant and professional experience with you and your staff that I will be back in the future and that I am going to recommend you and your staff to everybody that I come into contact with that needs oral surgery.

-- Johnny Lightsey

I can honestly say from the first phone call to schedule an appointment to the actual procedure the staff at your office made my visit a pleasant experience. It would be my pleasure to recommend anyone to contact your office for any of their future dental needs. Thanks again for the great customer care.

-- Dan Garcia

I have been a patient of Dr. Carry for the past several months. I can't tell you how happy I am. Dr. Carry and his staff are in my opinion the best. The care and concern from the time you enter the building, to the time you leave is beyond exceptional. If you've ever feared having your teeth worked on, it will stop at Dr. Carry's office!

-- Sharon Tripp

My experience at Dr. Carey’s office was great. The office look is new and updated. The nurses as well as Dr. Carey are very friendly. They thoroughly prepare you for your surgery. My surgery was quick and painless, and the recovery was just as Dr. Carey had told me it would be. I was relaxed and confident going into my oral surgery and my overall experience was great. I recommend Dr. Carey to everyone in need of oral surgery.

-- Alec Kumpf

I have had the pleasure of having both my children’s wisdom teeth extraction done by Dr. Carey. The staff is pleasant and efficient, and the patient care is personal and friendly. Both my kids felt extremely comfortable before, during and after the procedures. The new facility is very lovely. Dr. Carey is approachable and friendly, and VERY skilled. Really pleased that the entire procedure is done within an hour, and both children had quick recoveries. Staff is great about consistent follow up to make sure everything is okay.

-- Shari Wood

I have the highest praise for Dr. Carey and his entire staff. They were very professional and caring, something you don't always find in dental or medical offices. Everyone was so nice to my daughter who was scared to have her wisdom teeth removed. We were in and out in under an hour. The assistant called to check on her that evening which I really appreciated. Dr. Carey called a couple of days later, so I was able to ask a few more questions about her recovery. Thanks to all of you for outstanding care.
