The Surgery itself went fine but I wouldnt suggest going here if you want to keep your appointment at the time it was initially scheduled for. If you have children and need to plan for a sitter its about impossible until the day of your surgery because they will call and reschedule you for whatever time they want and cancel it all together if you cannot make the time they have rescheduled you for. Also have to pay in cash because thats all they accept which is a very strange business practice and seems sketchy at best. No one cares about you or the pain that your in before surgery, its all about whats most convenient for them. If you have cash and time to bend over backwards in order for these people to do their job then ya sure give them a call!Update: Also, if the dentist doesnt like what youve written in a review about his practice, he will refuse to do the surgery when you arrive for your appointment and not even have the decency to let you know before you drive 50 minutes to be there and your ride there takes a day off of work for absolutely no reason! How very professional. Just like referring to me as Karen, twice in your response. Ill just continue to be in pain because the dentist and staff have hurt feelings over my legitimate complaints. Its fine, seems fair right?!

I was told my reg dentist to have a decaying wisdom tooth removed. I waited for over a year due to fear. The process wasn’t bad. The shot is kinda painful but you numb instantly afterwards. I ended up having my top and bottom wisdom tooth removed on the left side and it was so fast. I was more afraid due to anxiety of having teeth pulled but overall I would recommend this office and surgeon. Thank u.

I had to go back 2 1/2 years later after my wisdom teeth surgery because the back of my gums get swollen and hurt every once in awhile. Me and my mother got there at 12:50, appointment at 1:00. We sat there for 2 hours because they over booked too many appointments. We finally saw him, THE ABSOLUTE RUDEST DR I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH. He shouldn’t be a dr if he doesn’t have the compassion or sympathy for others. He told us in a ‘I don’t care about you’ attitude, that our insurance won’t cover anything and that it was expensive. The audacity of this man. Definitely will not be going back to this a**hole after this.

. Sweet lady called me she has the payment/ insurance issue resolved from office!! They had filed claims but insurance wasn’t keying information in. Sorry for negative post prior .The Dr.and staff are wonderful! All issues resolved. Just took couple months Again Dr. did wonderful job.

Great experience! Was over before I knew it! Would definitely recommend to anyone needing dental work done!

Really grateful and impressed! All of the staff was very nice, I had a wisdom tooth that was causing me migraines and they were able to fit me in to get it removed the same day I had a consultation. Dr Lawhon was obviously very busy but still had a great bedside manor and was gentle and explained everything as he went along. Pricing was fair and straightforward, Dr. Lawhon and staff all seemed trustworthy and honest.

I had 4 of my wisdom teeth removed here at Dr. Mark Lawhon’s office on June 30, 2021 at 8 am. About two days after the extraction (without all the gauze and being on so much medication) I realize that I had an extremely sharp object in my mouth around the back molars protruding out of my gums. Which made it very difficult to eat and would cut up my tongue to the point of where it was bleeding and was sore. After realizing this, I called Dr. Lawhons office multiple times and eventually got through to be told the news of them not being open for a week but I could be seen that next Monday July 12, 2021 for my discomfort. After coming in that Monday July 12, 2021 and Dr. Lawhon acknowledging the problem and the pain I was in, I was still told that they were booked until the following Monday July 19, 2021 at 2:45. I was scheduled July 19th for a minor surgery that I was told was going to take 10 minutes. (Dr. Lawhon told me he would numb me and remove the bone that was protruding out my gums). I was placed on a list where if anyone canceled before Monday July 19 that I would take their place. I left Dr. Lawhons office after my appointment which was at 1:30. I received a call at 2:11pm (same day) that I could come in on the following day July 13 and receive the service I need to remove the discomfort I’ve been experiencing for about 11days as of July 13. Apparently there was some kind of miscommunication between the people that make the phone calls and the people that work in the office because once I arrived on July 13 at 2:30 I was told I would not be receiving my surgery today and I would continue to have to be in pain. I just wish the experience was better. The staff and the doctor are extremely nice and friendly but that doesn’t matter at the end of the day if the patient doesn’t feel taken care of. I was in pain, my pain was recognized, and was basically ignored until they felt like it. I am thankful for him not charging me for a problem he created though.As far as the actual wisdom teeth removal and ignoring everything else Dr. Lawhon did an amazing job.

Had a wisdom tooth extracted. It was cracked and I was scared it would be harder to get all the pieces out.. no pain all! Very fast process.. was out before I knew it. Was numb long enough to drive back to marion cvs and get my meds before it started to hurt. Great experience, would recommend to everybody. Staff was friendly. You will see neg reviews on here about the staff but they have a hard job dealing with lots of people in pain everyday and trying to work everybody in as quickly as possible. Its a an impossible job in this I want everything the second I walk in the door society we live in.

Amazing dentist. Had to get a tooth pulled as it had split and Dr. Lawhon was very through and efficient. I was in and out in 30 minutes, pain free. Additionally, the nursing staff were very nice and friendly, and helped get me in right away, which seems rare for around here. Overall it was a great experience and should I need another tooth pulled in the future, Dr. Lawhons office will be the only one I call.

No doubt a surgeon, but a surgeon with an unorganized unprofessionalcrew. Overbooks appointments, reschedules you at last minute after you have gone thru trouble making sure you have help to and from there, leaves you sitting for hours with an appointment and in my case went in 12:15 and at 6:45, in dentist chair area, assistant comes in says Dr has left leaving me and an elderly woman in chair both still in pain. No apologies, rude after receiving complaints about being waiting so long then left. that should have been expected. then go thru a hassle getting money back. Strongly reccomend you go elsewhere. Nothing in their response contradicts whats said above. Thats how it happened and nothing in the lengthy, angry response gives any explanation.

Two days ago I had three wisdom teeth extracted here and it was the BEST experience ever! I have really bad anxiety when it comes to any type of procedure, but the staff here was amazing! The dental assistant did an amazing job by explaining everything and just having general conversation with me to keep my mind at ease. Dr. Lawhon was quick and efficient; I was very happy with his overall performance! I will definitely be recommending family and friends!

Dr. Lawhon took my call late Wednesday afternoon and knew I was in pain. He worked me in the very next day. His office staff were great and made me feel safe in this crazy COVID times. Dr. Lawhon took care of my issue and ensure I was very well taken care of. Thank you Dr. Lawhon, Christy, and staff! You guys rock!

Today I had a tooth extraction at this office and the dental assistant Malory (I believe) was very helpful during the procedure. She talked with me through the set up and procedure keeping me calm as I told her I was nervous. Dr. Lawhon also did a great job numbing my mouth and I felt no pain at all, hardly any pressure. He was very kind and quick & also made sure that if I felt any pain at all to let him know. 10/10 definitely recommended!

Highly recommended! I have had Oral Surgery as well as other family members and friends at this office. Dr. Lawhon and the Staff were very kind and informative. They followed up on me and I had no problems after Surgery. My grandchild also had surgery a few years ago and that was a great experience as well. I know personally a lot of friends who have used Dr. Lawhon and no complaints from them. I highly recommend Dr. Lawhon. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I just had my wisdom teeth extracted two days ago, and things went great! Dr. Lawhon moved carefully, but quickly, and the nurse was so nice and understanding. My recovery is going well so far, and they called to check and see if I am feeling okay. I recommend them 100 times over! I thank them wholeheartedly!

My husband had multiple bad teeth that needed to be removed. And we finally found a place that excepted our insurance. Had a consultation and he got them pulled the next day. Of course insurance cant pay for the whole procedure but Id rather pay $139.00 than thousands of dollars that my insurance paid. Staff is polite and explain everything to you. I will be recommending to friends and family.

I had my teeth pulled when I was 25 and I havent had a problem since I can eat anything I want

This was the rudest person my daughter has ever seen !! As a nurse I pride myself on quality patient care and a kindness to all patient’s especially those who don’t feel well... what a shame this awful dentist doesn’t feel and treat patients the same way!! I will never ever send my daughter back to him and will not recommend even a dog to be treated by him!!

Don’t go here they rush you in and out and the dentist doesn’t want to give you a enough time to talk to you he is clearly a sociopath who doesn’t care about patients. They did not clearly communicate the amount of time it takes to heal beforehand and so I only took a couple of days off from work. My jaw is in a lot of pain and he insisted that there is nothing he could do. DO NOT GO HERE.And I know they answered with they same automatic robot response as they do all of they’re negative reviews.

Mr Mark lawhon is the best he is careful an great what he does he don’t like to hurt anyone unlike most dentist the staff is great wonderful ppl I would recommend him to anyone an so far he is the best in Florence s.c yeah his price is high but he does the best work an will save your life if you have bad teeth

Called them and they got my daughter in right away. They are the sweetest and kindest group I have ever met. My daughter and I totally recommend this office. Dont want to forget about Dr. Lawhon what a wonderful person he is. Want to thank everyone for their thoughtfulness.

I would recommend Mark Lawhon to anyone who needs dental work done. Hes the best!!

Had teeth extracted I have very sensitive teeth but Dr Lawhon made me very comfortable and had no problems

If I could give 0 reviews I would these people are a scam. Make sure you double check with your insurance to make sure their not ripping you off. My sister went there a month ago and had teeth extracted. Let me say this first It isnt Mark lawhon hes great .. Its his wife Christy they stated they were not giving her money back even with the paperwork showing she overpaid .. Her insurance company stated that she was only suppose to pay 409.00 She paid 1794... Nobody should have to go through this while in pain after having teeth extracted... I contacted the state board of dentistry and they suppose to give me the steps of what she have to do to get her money back. DONOT GO TO THEM THEIR A RIP OFF. I apologize for putting Marc heiden cause his dentist office is not this rude and unprofessional..

This is the best Dentist I have ever been too! Dr. Lawhon pulled my infected tooth yesterday and I am already feeling better. He made sure I was completely numb before he attempted to pull the tooth. The staff is very sweet here, I live a few hours away but I will never forget the wonderful experience I had here!

I had a wisdom tooth that was killing me. They got me in the same day and he stayed late to take out the tooth. He cared enough to stay late. Everybody else was two weeks before they would see me. I can’t thank y’all enough. He didn’t hurt me and the insurance lady went above and beyond. Recommend highly.

Teenage daughter had 4 wisdom teeth cut out two days ago. She had a wonderful experience and already wants to return to school. She said Dr Lawhon had wonderful bedside manner and the techs were all very kind. I had issues with insurance but everything worked out ok. My advice would be to give insurance time to approve procedures before rushing to have work done.

I cannot say enough good things about this office. The insurance girl would not let my insurance pull a fast one. There was not a provider within 70 miles so she made them pay Dr. Lawhon as a network provider. She is a spit fire. Dr. Lawhon was very nice and professional. He gave me several options to save me money. What doctor does that these days. Very little soreness after my surgery. He was real gentle and I highly recommend him. I did this review because Stephanie asked me to. Its the least I could do to let Dr. Lawhon know he has a good insurance girl.

I will make this short and simple ....i was in a lot of pain on a Thursday . I called every dentist in the book . Nobody would see me until Monday morning with an appointment. I contacted someone through Dr. Mark Lawhon‘s office . I was told if I did not mind waiting that he would fit me in.That he was booked (Now folks how nice is that ? For a Doctor to stay longer away from his family to help one out ) . The pain that I was in was worth the wait of sitting for hours instead of days if i had to . But the thing was, I only waited 30 minutes. I seen Dr. Lawhon, and was told my situation. As we began the procedure, I could not handle the pain. He then stopped immediately because his words was: I do not want to hurt you. We scheduled for surgery, and the fees that was asked of me, I got my fees up and i paid . He was doing everything in his power to take me out of pain and fix my situation and my job was to pay him for his work . Simple as that. My surgery went well, I have seen him two times since my surgery. And Very well pleased with each visit. Also, the staff was very kind and showed compassionate care for me .Especially Stephanie . Those girls worked with me on appointments and anything that I needed. They all stay late almost every night to help patients like you and me..Thanks to all that works there from me and my husband

I came in for a wisdom tooth extraction. The staff was friendly and very informative about the process. Paperwork was easy. Dr Lawhon took the time to answer questions, he listened to me, and at all times checked on my comfort. He is very cordial. The procedure went so well because of his anesthetic technique, I didnt understand why the technicians were handing me the follow up information. I was still thinking,when is he going to pull the tooth? The woman said, He popped that tooth out already! It was a great experience. I highly recommend Dr. Lawhon and his staff. Thank you so much.

I would recommend Dr. Lawhon to anyone. The experience I had had is unlike any other Doctor I have seen. Great staff that is there to help you with any of your needs. Top notch facility. You will not be disappointed in the way you are taken care of and problems fixed.

Great staff and Doctor Mark is wonderful!!! I had oral surgery a few years ago and Dr. Mark did my surgery and am still talking about how good he is. Since then I have taken my children and very satisfied with the service. I love how he treats you not like its about him getting paid to do the service, but about how he cares about all his patients. He doesnt see black ,white, any color, not even the color green of money. He treats everyone the same. He takes time explain everything from start to finish and I love that.I love how the staff will call you after the procedure just to make sure you are okay.Front staff always with a big smile. The nurses are great I like how they dont get upset when you ask questions. Youre given paperwork on what to do before and after surgery. I had my paper and they knew I was given instructions. When I called and ask what to eat, do, or dont do they didnt say well maam you have your paper refer to that. They answered every question with no problem no hostility .They make you feel so comfortable and not like youre aggravating them. Also the facility is so clean and decorated so beautiful. I feel if its clean from parking lot thru the entire office theyre going to use clean sterilize tools on me and my family. Not something dirty nasty. I can go on and on about how great everyone is but if your looking for a great oral surgeon see Dr. Mark . From me being a patient,mother of patients, and if every need it grandmother of patients. Theres no other first choice but my Dr. My Doctor Mark. Thanks again to entire staff!!!!

Took my husband there yesterday and staff was very friendly and Dr Lawhon was great hes a very upfront and honest person he cares about his patients not everyday u find a dr that tries to help save u money my husband has a phobia of dentist but Lawhon took very good care of him and made him feel at ease and done procedure same day well worth the money!!!

Dr.Lawhon made my experience the best. He was quick and to the point, removed my wisdom teeth with no problem, and provided the best oral service. I would highly recommend him to anyone else.

My nerves were shot by the time I left my dentist office. Was very nervous about a lump on my tongue. Dr . Lawhon was very precise and really checked me out. He explained everything before the surgery of what things it could be. He took the lump off and I didn’t feel anything but a little shot. He saw me back and explained the results. No cancer thank god. I would highly recommend Dr. Lawhon he took good care of me.

I know everybody has their own experiences with everything they do.. my own experience with this office and dr. Was absolutely wonderful! I would highly recommend this office/ staff! I was seen promptly, the staff was very informative, dr lawhon gave up his time tolisten to what I needed.. and then proceed tohelp me in my time of need. And they did all this painlessly !

Treatment was satisfactory . Office staff was a negative 10 on a scale of 1-10 . Paid up front and I had a credit and took me 3 months to get my money. They told me a lot of lies about what my insurance said and tried to make me be the bad guy in the end when they were in the wrong and had my money . They lost insurance payments multiple times which resulted in payment having to be re issued from insurance company. Also they told me that they had no record or receiving insurance payment when it had been cashed by them . Very unorganized and office manager never available . I would never go back and they are doing my sister the same way . They owe her 1000 dollars and are giving her the run around as well. Beyond unsatisfied and would not recommend this office to anyone ever!!!!! If I had not stayed on top of my money I would have never received it I am confident of that!!!!

Leaving this review from my husbands appointment but my last 4.5 months of tracking down payments for refunds. Treatment was satisfactory . Paid up front and I had a credit and took me 4.5 months to get my money. They told me about not getting checks and having them reissued I called each week and also called the insurance company, for some reason they still get paper checks. They lost insurance payments multiple times which resulted in payment having to be re issued from insurance company. Also they told me that they had no record or receiving insurance payment when it had been cashed by them . Finally got refunded today and it was short by the exact amount of what my 1st refund was to be said that it was service charge of 3% for using debit card and charge for a surgical tray funny how both charges added up to what the 1st refund should have been but in checking the 3% doesn’t add up to any of the charges. Very unorganized and office manager did call me back and is to check on things and get back to me. I would never go back. Beyond unsatisfied and would not recommend this office to anyone ever!!!!! If I had not stayed on top of my money I would have never received it I am confident of that!!!! Hopefully I will get the balance without excuses. Having to pay for the surgical tray should be included in the charge of extraction. I will be verifying this with my insurance company. So I did call insurance company and they agree the tray would be included in the cost of the extraction.In response to your response no one has worked harder on this then I have and the 3% still does not add up to any of the charges. My husband was flying out the next day and had to have this done but it was way before 4:30 his appointment was at 8 and receipts he pay one was at 8:42 and the other at 9:51.With you being in network and accepting assignment the insurance company will not send me the check. I asked the to do so that I could hand deliver them so you could post them and I would get my refund.Surgical tray should be a fee included in the cost of surgery it is not an added charge.Stephanie, you Anna and Kristie seem to only help me and work on this when I called each time and I always had to call the insurance company first to find out if you had gotten the checks. The day I called knowing that you had cashed the checks you still did not show it posted to his account that is not how insurance is handled.

I was referred to Dr.Lawhon and I must say him and his whole staff were amazing....initially when I came in there was some confusion about my co-pay and Stephanie at the front desk was Kind the entire time to me I was upset and rude on my end but the whole time all she did was try to think of ways we could try to get around the issue not one time did she lose her cools she remained sweet the whole time and you don’t find that at all now a days .....and Dr.Lawhon was AMAZING...yes I know you may say well you did feel anything because you were numbed but I didn’t feel a thing I thought he was testing the area to see if I was numb but he pulled that tooth in a blink I felt no pressure no nothing ........IF YOU NEED ANYTHING DENTAL WISE HE IS YOUR GUY THEY RUN LIKE A WELL OILED MACHINE

Nothing like having to take a day off to go to the dentist. Have not had any problems for years. So walking into the oral surgeons office made me a little bit nervous. Well the old saying about insurance is....I got insurance but dont know know anything about it. Had a little wait to see Dr Lawhon but the girls up front really tried to help me with my insurance to save me some money. When I saw Dr Lawhon he took his time and made me a little less nervous. He gave me three options for my tooth. I decided to take it out and he didnt hurt me one bit. He asked me a thousand times was I hurting but he has the tooth out in a couple of minutes and I didnt know he was finished. As I waited in the waiting room I checked him out on Google. The reason I gave him a review is because they did what they said and didnt hide anything. Told me everything up front. Some of these reviews seem off compared to what my visit. There were a lot of people there so he doing something right. Hope I dont need him again but I will come back if I have to.

Very bad experience. The wait was extremely long, then was charged up front $78.00 for the x Ray even though I have very good insurance. Then was sent back to the lobby to sit some more. Was taken to the back, x rayed, then sat again for a very long time. When Dr came in for consultation, he was very rushed and seemed uncaring of patients, just get it done quick attitude. Talks down on other dentists in the area, which is unprofessional. Then, I was going to be charged another $300+ to have 1 tooth extraction, even though my insurance covers 80% of my costs. This Dr seems very greedy, and unconcerned for his patience. And policy has it that you can not receive your records same day. You have to wait 14-28 days for them to be mailed. I could not let this snake try to slither any more of my hard earned cash out into his greedy pocket.

If you want a great oral surgeon with a great staff, Dr Lawhon is the one to go see. He has pulled a tooth for me, took out my grandson and granddaughtes wisdom teeth. Dr Lawhon and his staff took great care of us. Thank yall so much for the great service you provide.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!!!!! The absolute lack of patient concern is appalling. I feel this is a money driven office, managed by the Drs wife Christie. We are SO grateful we chose another oral surgeon that was compassionate. Our experience with the Lawhons office left a bad taste. If I could rate them a NEGATIVE 5 *, I WOULD! ****Update as of 7/17 due to MD office response: I can assure you this review is for the correct doctor (Mark Lawhon & office manager Christie Lawhon). I could never forget the miserable experience.

What dentist curses at a child, who has a bad infection in his blood because of a bad tooth. And Mr Lawhon Threatened his mother as well. This all happened for absolutely no reason. If you are having a bad DAy, then thats your problem. You have no right to take it out on a mother an a child/who HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR BAD DAY. You DO NOT deserve to be practicing..Action will be taken, due to this matter and if I have anything to do with it, in which I will, You will not be practicing for every longDonna2/7/19

I was a little skeptical at first. I wasnt comfortable at the first visit for my son, for my own personal reasons, and things didnt go the smoothest with communications between the surgeons office, the dentist, and the imaging facility. I see others talked about a bad experience but we didnt have any insurance issues and the communication issues were nothing that a follow up call from any office didnt clear up. I said what the other office needed and it was taken care of. Im sure I had an attitude with them about this because I was not feeling well and was annoyed that I had to straighten things out at times but they remained professional. My apologies if I was rude. However, that 2nd visit made me give 5 stars. Dr. Lawhon made sure I understood everything that was going on with my son. He actually cared about the safety of my child and his well being. He gave me good advice on what would be the best course of action to take. He was honest with me about what could happen in all scenarios, risky or not. Im always nervous about making sure I make the right decision for my kids since I took medications that were eventually linked to Autism when I was pregnant with my twins. I kept asking if the medications were safe and was told yes, although months later they were deemed not safe. Now I research but it this case research didnt help so I needed a surgeon I could trust. I generally dont feel that most doctors have anyones best interests at heart since my twins ended up being Autistic and some experiences Ive had with my care in the past 2 years. So thats why this is a big deal to me, although it might not be to others. Anyways, anyone that is truly concerned about my child and helps me to sleep better at night because I can trust him is #1 in my book. I made the right choice taking my son here.

This is my personal review and my opinion. This is how I felt today when going to visit this oral surgeon. He was very nice and explained everything.Went in at 2:30 for a 3:00 appointment. Seen him around 4:50pm or so. Was informed that i would need to have a hole from wisdom tooth removal cleaned out and a bone shaved down. It would be over $700 that I would pay and also $130 for consultation fee that had to pay and insurance would give me back some of my money. They then notify me that it will be at least a 2 hour wait and he have 7 surgeries in front of mine. He also will not been in the office Thursday, Friday, or all next week. As I sit there I realize it is already after 5. I don’t wont someone who is rushing through all the procedures to work on my mouth bc honestly I’m already struggling with pain and issues and I just want it fixed. I ask for a cancellation of the money I paid. They cancelled with no problems except for the $130. I ask them why did you schedule me for a consult if he is going out of town I could have took this time to see someone else and what If I have complications. I am informed they don’t know what the consults are for ( which I told them on the phone). Why would you see all these new patients perform procedures on them and leave town??? I had a horrible experience and lost money that I didn’t have to loose. Why kick someone who is already having trouble? I could have went to someone else. You can see the person handling the situations by reading the horrible responses to people’s negative reviews. That’s the same type of attitude I received today. Can’t imagine how people sleep at night. I’m in the healthcare field and would never be able to do this to someone.Response to whoever runs this offices page:Why are you diverting the issues on another professional. Who pulled out my teeth had nothing to do with the actions of your office (first step is admitting you have a problem) Post op complications can happen to anyone. I can’t tell from you responses if you are psychotic or just that horrible at customer service. Either way your responses speak for themselves. They way you speak on here is anything but professional. I actually had an appointment that I cancelled bc y’all were closer to my work. Your office didn’t know any of that. That was a lie that you told. I didn’t leave his office until 6pm and you still had a waiting room full of patients upset at the wait time. I don’t think my patience was the problem considering I was there for 4 hours.Today I went to Camden oral surgery & implant center ( have offices in Camden, Columbia, and orangeburg). Saw Dr. Clary and he fixed my problem in 20 minutes. It cost me $88 instead of $700. They are an amazing group of people so save your self time, money, and heart ache. It’s Criminal the difference in cost and service. If you would like to discuss these issues further you have my #

Had a tooth pulled yesterday. I was actually called to come in earlier than my appt which made me VERY pleased considering Im a over the road trucker and its hard to make appts. The experience was A+. The tooth was removed before I could get nervous and I was out the door. Ive had many teeth pulled in the area and this was the fastest I had it done, and painless. I would highly recommend.

Horrible experience. We are still waiting to be reimbursed from what we paid almost a year ago next month. We received part payment but not all. Would never ever recommend this place to anyone...office staff does not follow through and the dr has no manners. Look else where. ^This is me being nice. Zero rating if I could.

Dont want to help or work with you on what you need or want. You have to have good insurance or be rich to visit this office, and they make your self esteem even worse after talking to them. I suggest checking somewhere else even if you have to go out of town.

They did a great job after the fact he tried to pull my wisdom tooth and the area wasnt numb and I wasnt asleep. On top of it all, this was almost 4 to 5 yrs ago and my son and I saw him around the same time. I paid my deductible for both of us and the insurance paid the rest. Well NOW, Im getting a bill for $88.60 thats PAST DUE!! Over 4 years ago, a bill!!! Makes me wonder, is somebody not doing their job, needing extra funds?? The bill will get paid. I guess someone needs the money more than me. So new customers, make sure you keep up with your bill because later down the road, the office of J. Mark Lawshon, D.M.D., P.A. Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery will say you own them!!!

Lawhon is a wonderful surgeon, and his staff is very thorough. I would highly recommend.

Wonderful Surgeon!!!!I had two wisdom teeth pull,I didnt feel a thing before,I knew it everything was over with wonderful and friendly staff a life saver.

Went and had tooth pulled monday and I had great experience, everyone was so friendly, and Dr. Lawhon didnt cause me any pain at all. It was just great.

I had a horrendous experience with this surgeon. I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed and was in severe pain the following days after the surgery , pain meds werent working, nothing was - I went to the hospital because I was in such pain crying my eyes out I couldnt get any sleep the following days . My mother called him and he said nothing was wrong and that there wasnt any way that I had a dry socket even though I was in tremendous pain. I went to my follow up with him and he wouldnt even give me the chance of day he didnt even look in my mouth longer than five minutes before saying I was fine and that I need to take tylnols only now - when I described my pain he basically said i was making some crazy fake pain up . I went to a different surgeon and was told I had a dry socket and a nerve exposed because he cut too far down exposing it - they said he shouldnt have cut that far down. Everytime we had a encounter with this guy he had a terrible attitude and didnt help me any ! If you love pain and feeling like youre abandoned because the man who did your surgery doesnt want to help you GO HERE ! TERRIBLE SERVICE .

I read the reviews and I will never diminish anyones experience but I will say my experience was absolutely outstanding. Working in the healthcare field, I know that you cannot please everyone. After being deceived (yep, decieved) at another local surgeons office, I appreciates the care, transparency, bedside manner at Dr Lawhons office. He gave me money saving tips and he gave me options. I felt comfortable to ask questions and concerns. He was obviously busy but he did not rush with me. I will refer others!!! He take more insurances than others in the area their for being able to give better options. Even if you do not have insurance, he provide options with the patient in mind. IM SO GLAD I WENT DESPITE WHAT I READ!

So far the staff is great, but the wait time is horrible. Eat before you come here. 2 1/2 hr wait now. So 1st time dont come without eating.

Dr. Lawhon and his staff were wonderful with our son Wade. Wade had three teeth pulled today and didnt even cry.

Very nice him and his staff did a awesome job

Everyone here was very friendly, made me feel welcomed and like family.

Excellent staff and service; and awesome Dr! Very well pleased!!

If I could give this office Zero stars I would bc they do not deserve one. I went to my dentist with a toothache from a tooth I broke off only to find out it was a wisdom tooth and he could not pull it. My dentist had to refer me to an oral surgeon. They told me to pick between Dr. Lawhon and Palmetto Oral Surgeons (Dr. Oliver) Knowing nothing about either I chose Dr. Lawhon, BIG mistake. I went in for a consult $114 for xray & visit. Their wasnt much consulting, just xray & told me I had to come back to have it pulled. Dr. Lawhon lacks compassion for the patient. Just bc you call the patient sweetheart doesnt show you care. He didnt really explain anything that would happen. So I went back to the checkout desk to schedule my appt. & find that its $290 to just numb it & pull it. I was upset, I did not have the money. When I went back to have it pulled, of course you always pay up front here so I paid & waited in a packed out waiting room. Finally it was my turn, I went back & the girl who preps you was really nice & seemed concerned about my pain. While waiting I could hear a old woman screaming in pain and him tell her it was gonna be quick. Next he came straight to me to numb my mouth. As I was waiting on it to numb I noticed my tongue, gums & lip were numb but when I would bite down I could still feel my tooth hurting. Concerned I would still feel it when he tried to pull it, I told him about it. I could tell he was aggravated, frustrated or just ped off whatever you want to call it he then began acting out w/ rude aggravation. So he sticks my mouth with numbing shots about 6 or 7 more times & says if that doesnt numb it then it wont numb. So I waited on that to work & he came in to pull it, I could still feel my tooth. When he tried to pull it I tried to take the pain by squinting my eyes & gripping the chair (I didnt even move) he stops abruptly & says look if you feel pain & need me to stop I need you to say umph I said I feel pain but I am trying to take it. He said you shouldnt even feel pain. So he tried again & I did the same thing so he slams his tools on the tray, looks to the girl & says she is just gotta be put to sleep. He then looks at me and ask are you sure you feel pain & not pressure. I said its pain. So he picked the needle up & pokes my lip with like hate, says over & over do you feel that? Do you feel that? I said no, he said well you are numb & shouldnt feel it. So then I had to go up front to reschedule & come back. The girl tells me this will be $600! I am floored after the rudeness from him & now I have another $600, knowing you have no other choice. I just left, I told myself I dont know what I will do. I cried and cried. I ended up calling Palmetto Oral Surgeons (Dr. Oliver) & made an appt. This office is a night & day difference from Lawhon. I would never recommend Dr. Lawhon to ANYONE. I would not let him touch my ANIMALS. My visit to Palmetto was so pleasant & he explains everything to you in your consult visit. Even possibilities on why my tooth would not numb. I love the staff & the oral surgeon at Palmetto. They are also cheaper. I hope this review will keep someone from going through what I did. Please choose wisely & PLEASE read other reviews on Dr. Lawhon bc Im not the only one. Dr. Lawhon is running an assembly line of patients, one in, one out & it feels like its all about the money. No compassion.UPDATE: I just recieved a reply from Dr. Lawhon on my review saying that I was someone from a competitors office. NO I was an actual Client. Check your record for Melanie Sabo/Wright. I can post a copy of my receipt with the date of my visit & a copy of the reciept from Dr. Oliver the following your visit showing my review is legit. You know how you treat people, besides my story was VERY detailed for it to have been from a competitor. And to reply saying my story is BS says alot about YOU. You responded to all your negative reviews within an hour saying we were your competitors & you couldnt find names of the patients lol. Arrogant

Wont accept checks and charges extra for accepting debit or credit card. They charge $150 more for a consultation than anybody else in town. Obviously for then its all about the money and patients be damned.

I want to give a shout out to Dr. Lawhon and his staff. I called in on friday cause I broke my tooth and I was in some serious pain. He got me in the same day he had to fit me in but I am just glad he saw me. He helped me for that I thank him.

The staff is unprofessional everyone points the finger but never take the blame or try to de escalate a situation rather are very combative especially when they are the one who committed the error or oversight

Waiting 2 and a half hours for a consult is ridiculous

Office staff cant process insurance information correctly and they are completely useless!!!
