I am so grateful I chose Summit Oral Surgery to work with. I’ve been to my fair share of health care providers and I know what good care and bad care looks like. Summit has provided *exceptional* care. It’s the kind of care that you feel a little bit shook up if you don’t have it often. Warmth, kindness, transparency, answering all questions with patience instead of rushing or dismissing, and inviting you to participate in to the process by explaining the verbiage clearly. I came in exhausted and nervous from my chronic health issues. When I left, I burst into tears of relief because I had answers, solutions, and was treated with great care.

Dr. C is amazing. So caring. His staff is great too. When our insurance denied coverage for my daughter's jaw surgery they went above and beyond to get it covered. My daughter can breath easier thanks to Dr. C!

I have had an excellent experience at Summit Oral Surgery so far. The staff there are lovely. Dr. Charugundla took the time to answer all of my questions before deciding to proceed with treatment, and I felt that he was both very knowledgeable and genuinely interested in the kinds of issues and treatments we were discussing. The surgery itself went very smoothly, and Dr. C and his team responded quickly to any questions or requests I had after the procedure. I recommend Dr. C and Summit Oral Surgery without hesitation.

My dentist had explained that saving my tooth would require what he described as a “heroic effort,” so after considering the options, I agreed that having it removed was the right course of action. I wasn’t exactly looking forward to an extraction and bone graft, but my experience with Summit Oral Surgery was outstanding from the lead-up, through the procedure itself, and into the follow-up. Before the procedure, the team was incredibly friendly, helpful and reassuring. I felt well informed about what was going to happen and confident that I was in very capable hands. On the day itself, that continued. Dr. Charugundla and the team combined fantastic clinical expertise with warmth and kindness, explaining things clearly and making what could have been a fairly daunting experience feel remarkably straightforward and human. I’ve been equally impressed by the follow-up. The team has been proactive about making sure my recovery is on track, provided clear and practical aftercare guidance, and made it genuinely easy to ask questions. I never had the feeling of being sent home after surgery and left to figure things out for myself. What really stands out about Summit is the combination of expertise and humanity. They clearly know exactly what they’re doing, but they translate that knowledge into an experience that feels personal, accessible and genuinely caring. Having a tooth extracted and a bone graft certainly wasn’t something I was looking forward to, but I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Excellent care before, during and after the procedure. I would recommend Summit Oral Surgery without hesitation.

We had a great experience with my 14 yr old son getting a lingual frenectomy. It was very smooth, only 20 minutes long, and very friendly and organized service! Dr. C is fabulous! We trust his skills.

Highly recommend this surgeon, dental assistants, & office staff, especially if you're anxious: I had an abscessed failed root canal & they extracted immediately with professional competence & a rare authentic compassion. I have a journey ahead that I no longer dread. 5 stars for Dr. C. & staff!
