Toni Guckert

My daughter had bilateral TMJ total joint replacements and a Genioplasty with Dr. Arango. We were especially concerned with the aesthetics and what her jaw would look like after surgery but he was very thorough when explaining the recommended treatment. I can’t tell you enough how amazed I am with her results and how well she is doing. He called to check on her multiple times after her surgery. I could tell he genuinely cared for my child’s well-being and quality of life. He is very passionate about his work, that was very clear to me. We feel incredibly blessed to have found Dr. Arango.

Leon Levinsohn

I had to have an urgent root extraction and Stewart & Arango worked me into their busy schedule. The front office staff and surgical staff where friendly, helpful and caring. Dr Andrew Arango quickly set me at ease with his cheerful demeanor and bedside manner. He backed this up with an excellent extraction and bone graft followed up with painless implants. Follow up was excellent and caring with a call after the surgery from the office and at the end of the day a call from Dr Arango himself. I highly recommend this practice and Dr Arango, the best experience in an unpleasant situation!

kristy antonakakis

My daughter just had Bilateral Total Joint Replacement, upper & lower jaw, a genioplasty and septoplasty on August 31st. I can't say enough about Dr. Arango. The whole process was smooth from start to finish. Dr. Arango was so caring and called and checked on my daughter several times even 2 weeks post surgery. I highly recommend him. She is doing even better than expected 3 weeks out.Amazing!

I had a surgical procedure with Dr. Arango. I am not the best patient as I have high anxiety in hospitals and doctors offices but Dr. Arango and his team took great care of me and made me feel very comfortable through the whole process.If you need surgery and are very nervous like myself, I HIGHLY recommend calling Dr. Arango.

Met them in July 21 & put off the recommended treatment until it was an emergency. Lovely staff, shout out to George who went the extra mile to get me in the day before Thanksgiving! Love Dr. Arangos bedside manner! Would recommend them anytime to anybody. I'm scared like most & they did everything possible to keep me calm. Don't put it off Thans to him and the staff for their TLC.

Dee Vega

Today, I had my wisdom teeth removed. I was nervous, as I'm rather squeamish, and I made little effort to hide that. It was surgery, after all. However, everytime I've been to Dr. Arango's office, I've been greated with cleanliness, a great staff, and a brilliant doctor. Today, they did not let me down. I got checked in, and went back to the op room, and met two kind-hearted women who talked with me about art and music and travel, things to take away my obvious anxiety. I remain highy greatful of to them for their awareness. When Dr. Arango, came in, he looked fresh, alert, and ready to perform. He too, was calm in spite of my anxiety, and, like a good leader and a true professional, he ushered us all into the thick of it. He told me once more what he was going to do, ans then told me about the meds he would have me take, out of concern for my surgical needs AND my pain tolerance. Oh, rhe compassion! After that, I remember him taking my arm gently to set me up for surgery, and then I was in a wheelchair, with my hat and jacket on, waiting for my friend to arrive and pick me up. Post surgery, in no time at all. During the wait, the staff stayed with me, while I started crying, why, I didnt know. No one gave me a hard time, but they did give me some tissues. Dr. Arango came to check on me and say goodbye, and I realized I was crying because all the pain I'd suffered over the past few weeks from my wisdom teeth, was gone. So when I saw Dr. Arango, I reached for him to hug him, to thank him for his patience, his tenderness, his professionalism, and his time mixed with great bed-side manner. He came in for the hug I offered, and I was glad for it because my mouth was full of gauze, and an eloquent and robust "thank you," was beyond me in that moment. In short, Dr. Arango is a top-tier surgeon, and a people person with deep awareness of customer service, psychology, and human compassion. If you're in need of an oral surgeon, this is who I recommend. Lastly, don't be fooled by his youth, I dare say it's a sign of his high intellect and drive, and with that, I gave hi my full trust. Dr. Arango and staff, thank you all so much for such a great experience of professionalism and tenderness. 10's across the board. --Dev Gonz.

Gianni Delao

I was referred from the er to see Dr.Arango for a facial fracture. I was so impressed by his bedside manner and how he went into detail on my procedures. He took his time on explaining surgery from being to end, also pulled up my CT and showed me my fractures. I did not feel rushed at all. Great service and my surgery came out amazing ! No complications. .

Ashdon Stunda

I was very impressed by Dr. Arango and his staff. I’m a firm believer that a first impression is everything, and my initial phone call into his office - with a very friendly and knowledgeable receptionist, is why I decided to schedule an appointment. I felt the consultation was very upfront and honest, something that is unfortunately becoming harder to find within healthcare.On the day of surgery, I was made to feel as comfortable as possible, and even received a few follow up calls in the following days to ensure my recovery was progressing as planned.I wouldn’t hesitate to receive treatment from Dr Arango in the future.

Logan Sherman

I had an impacted tooth pulled and a post put in during the same visit. Dr. Arango answered all questions prior to surgery and I never once felt rushed. The surgery was on a Friday afternoon. He called on Sunday to check on how I was feeling and was professional and courteous. The surgery went very well and I would highly recommend him as a surgeon!
