I was referred to Dr. Ringeman to remove my Wisdom Tooth. *Background* I have all 4 removed years prior when I was 15 before I have braces. (Since I was so young my wisdom teeth hadn’t fully developed yet) so about 17 years of age I had one wisdom tooth grow in. However Dr Ringeman did such a wonderful job. I’ve had no complications and very little pain. He did a wonderful job! Way better than the last oral surgeon I seen! I highly recommend him for any oral surgery needs.

I nearly died in 2020 I was referred for wisdom tooth removal and impaction having an infection under one tooth. After I was in so much pain I could barely keep water down . And he forgot to call in antibiotics. I couldn't breathe because my throat was swelling. Went in for an emergency appointment and was waiting a long time even though we got there right on time of not a little before. For an EMERGENCY appointment. My mom had to go in and ask twice. (This was during covid so we had to wait outside) I finally stumbled into the lobby and passed out. They finally took me back. I was faced away from the door in the chair for I don't know how long I was back there by myself. I couldn't breathe and I passed out again in the chair. They finally did the emergency new surgery. I went home and two days later was in the ICU as the swelling continued. They almost had to intubate me. I remember one of the nurses coming in, gasping, "what happened to her face? I was in the hospital 5 days and my recovery after was slow. They even tried to charged me for the dentist coming to see me in the hospital. Two months later I noticed I'd been having pain going up my leg. Not long after being told it

I first saw Dr. Walter in 2011, when I was struggling with continued pain following a wisdom tooth extraction. I had returned several times to the dentist who performed the extraction, and she could find nothing wrong. On a co-worker's recommendation, I saw Dr. Walter and was relieved by his expertise and quick analysis of my problem. (I believe he is able to leap tall buildings and has x-ray vision.) He performed surgery and dug out bits of bone and infection in my jaw. At the same time, he removed a remaining wisdom tooth. I have never forgotten his good advice to take pain medication BEFORE the pain becomes severe. His staff gave me a dose of Vicodin before I left the office that day, and I may have had to take one more. I had absolutely no complications (no bruising or swelling and only very minor pain) and healed quickly. A couple of years ago I began having swelling and pain on the right side of my face that baffled both my primary care doctor and my dentist. I decided to see Dr. Walter again, and he immediately diagnosed parotitis. He explained the problem and advised me to drink large amounts of water and suck on sour candy. That treatment has worked well until v

I was referred here by my dentist for an emergency abscess-cracked tooth extraction. I left the office sobbing in pain when they refused to treat me without $463 and refused to hold a check to deposit the next day. They did hand me a brochure for their credit plan which I, unfortunately, do not qualify for. All they had to do was wait 24 hours to deposit my payment. It was an emergency and I had zero time to get to the bank. I will never recommend this office to anyone. Not everyone has an extra $500 laying around for immediate use. It was simply one day I needed to get to the bank and they would've had their money. Meanwhile I get to continue to be in absolutely the worst pain I have ever felt in my life until I can find a different surgeon. Thanks for the understanding and compassion (yes, that was sarcasm).

I have been to two different oral surgeons in the local Winston-Salem area. Although both did a fine job, what set Dr. Walter apart from the other practice was his superior bed side manner, and his friendly staff. Dr. Walter clearly has a passion for what he does. It shows in his consults with patients. The staff are always willing to help and will answer any questions I have. They clearly operate as a congruent group. I totally recommend Dr. Walter for any oral surgery needs.
