Dr. Nokkeo did my dental implant surgery. He was extremely gentle, caring, and professional. I was very afraid of the procedure (having a screw placed into my jaw bone), but after the novocaine, I did not feel a thing. I though I would feel some pain after I got home, but only needed 1 pain pill (and probably didn't need to take that). I would highly recommend Dr. Nokkeo for oral surgery.
