ArkLaTex Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery: Reviews
Fantastic experience: My niece was the patient, Deborah Oliver. She is special needs and everyone there was very nice and helpful. Dr. Neeley was great with her and removed the tooth with no issues. I would recommend ArkLaTex Oral Surgery to anyone.
Thank you so much for the detailed review, Patricia! We’re happy to be able to have helped your niece!
Fantastic experience: Great experience from consult to actual day if extraction. Dr. Neely was awesome and answered any questions and concerns you may have. They also followed up with you afterwards to make sure you're okay and that you're feeling fine. I would definitely recommend. My daughter had gone there a few months prior as well and had a great experience. She had her wisdom teeth taken out and had minimal soreness and she said if there are any future visits she would definitely go back there!!
Thank you very much for the detailed review, Ray!

Thank you very much, Jennifer!
Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about this office and the care I received. I had been dealing with severe tooth pain for quite some time. After seeing an emergency dentist, I was told the tooth could not be extracted there due to the complexity of the roots and their proximity to my sinus cavity. I was referred to an oral surgeon, but most offices could not see me for nearly a week just for a consultation. When I called this office, they listened to my concerns and understood the level of pain I was experiencing. They told me that if I could come right away, they would work me in to evaluate the situation. While they did not rush into treatment without properly assessing the risks, they also recognized the urgency of my condition and scheduled my extraction within 24 hours. From start to finish, the entire process was exceptional. The staff was compassionate, professional, and genuinely concerned about my comfort. Every step was explained thoroughly, and I felt well informed and confident in the treatment plan. The extraction was performed under anesthesia without complications, my medications were ready when I needed them, and I was able to return home the same day. What impressed me most was the level of care beyond the procedure itself. I received clear post-operative instructions, and when I had a question the following morning, someone took the time to speak with me and address my concerns. That level of accessibility and follow-up meant a lot. For the first time in days, I felt relief. Not only because the tooth was removed, but because I finally felt heard, understood, and cared for. This office went above and beyond what I would consider excellent patient care. I am incredibly grateful to the entire team and would highly recommend them to anyone needing oral surgery.
Wow! Thank you so much for the very detailed review, Darcy! We very much appreciate your kind words!
Fantastic experience: The. Whole team was very caring. I was lucky my tooth was not infected yet but needed it extracted I Chose to be put to sleep and do not remember a thing. The doctor did a great job. I have had no problems after following the instructions I will definitely Refer anyone or go back again if it’s necessary. Thank you for making me feel safe and comfortable. GT.
Thank you very much for the review, Givonna!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Neely and his staff were amazing and the procedure was a success! I could not ask for a better experience! If I'm honest, I was a bit nervous at first. But, within minutes my nerves had been calmed by Dr. Neely and his staff, as they demonstrated the utmost professionalism and superior service. I highly recommend them!
Appreciate your detailed review, Terri!
Fantastic experience: Whoever uses “it’s as bad as pulling teeth” as an expression hasn’t ever been to ArkLaTex Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery! The entire process and procedure was as smooth, straightforward, and painless as could be. Dr Banker & his staff are very thorough in explaining options. The procedure was quick and easy. Of course there’s a little discomfort but they do their best to minimize it and make sure you are doing well afterwards. I hope I don’t have a reason to go back, but if I do I know I’ll be in excellent hands!
Thank you for the review, Rich!
Fantastic experience: I went here to get both my bottom wisdom teeth removed and it went even better than I thought it would. They take good care of the people like me who have a fear of being awake during procedures.
Thank you so much, Marissa! You don’t have to be anxious about being anxious at our practice. We’ve got you covered!
Fantastic experience: I had a tooth that was crowned at one time and the crown came off and when it did, it broke about half the tooth off down below the gum line. I chose to have the tooth pulled rather than an Implant. I was put to sleep and Dr. Neeley extracted the tooth. I woke up and he said everything went smooth. Never really felt a bit of pain. It was very smooth from beginning to end. I highly recommend ArkLaTex Oral Surgery.
Thank you very much, Robert! Appreciate the detailed review!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Lustig pulled a tooth for me in April 2026. Dr. Lustig has got to be the Best oral surgeon there could be! First, he gave me injections near the tooth to numb the area, and they were almost painless. After the surgery, I had a short "sensation" for a few seconds, but it wasn't painfull. My husband brought me home, and I expected pain, but I never hurt from the tooth being pulled. I stayed up the rest of the day! I never needed anything for pain, so I rate the pain a zero (0). I don't know how he did that, but he did, and I am appreciative and thankful that he was recommended to me. Tell everyone you know that his staff in Bossier City, where I had my consultation, and in Shreveport, where I had my surgery, are the Best in Every Category, and Dr. Lustig is as Great as an oral surgeon Could Be!
Patricia, thank you so much for the very detailed review! We sure appreciate it!

Negative experience: This location provides misleading and inconsistent information. We were initially told over the phone that our cost with insurance would be $75, but when we arrived, we were told it was actually $150. The receptionist seemed unfamiliar with basic details and was unable to give clear answers. They also push for consultations but avoid disclosing important pricing and visit information upfront, which ends up wasting your time. Overall, very poor communication and transparency.
Kay, without your last name being on here, it's tough for me to determine what may have happened with the $75/150 consultation discrepancy you mention. Our consultation fee is $150 for the typical visit. In rare cases, for complex problems, the consultation fee may be more, but this is less than 1% of the consults we do. If you paid $150, and your insurance pays $75 on the visit, then you will see a refund check for $75 in the mail shortly thereafter. If insurance pays $25, then you'll see a refund for $25. When we are confident that an insurer is going to pay a portion of the consult, we may not collect that portion from the patient. If we're not as confident (some insurers are inconsistent), then we collect the full consultation fee up front. It's better being surprised with a refund check in the future versus receiving an unexpected bill.
It can be challenging to price treatment over the phone. As far as tooth extractions go, which is the most common request for pricing, there are five commonly used dental codes and multiple additional less commonly used codes just for a tooth extraction. As you mentioned regarding the consult, if we gave a patient a quote on a surgical extraction, and then it turns out that he/she has an impacted wisdom tooth, the patient might end up unhappy because he/she was quoted one price and it turned out to be another. To determine which of these codes is appropriate for a patient's needed treatment, we need a few things. At a minimum, we would need a referral from your dentist (so we know exactly the treatment being requested) and an x-ray (which your dentist will typically send, if they've taken one). Generally, we will ask you to fill out the new patient paperwork online, so then we also have insurance information and can give even more accurate pricing information once we've obtained those benefits. We do this for patients in multiple instances every day.
In a lot of cases, a prospective patient may call on the phone, ask "how much does it cost to get a tooth extracted?," not want to provide any other info, and be frustrated with our inability to provide an answer. I hope this helps you understand why the answer to that question is not as simple as it may seem to that person on the phone.
We do a lot of same day consulation/surgery at ArkLaTex. It's very convenient for patients trying not to miss work more than absolutely necessary. In these instances, we get all the information mentioned above, give pricing/insurance breakdowns over the phone, and then schedule the consult/procedure to be done the same day. Patients know what their out-of-pocket will be before scheduling. We MUST have a referral, x-ray, and new patient paperwork filled out in order to do this. If a patient hasn't seen a dentist prior, or doesn't have an x-ray, then we would need to see the patient for a consult prior to treatment. In some cases, treatment may still be rendered the same day, but pricing wouldn't be available until the patient is in the office, when we could obtain the x-ray and/or determine a specific treatment plan.
Consultation appointments are beneficial for many reasons. It is your time to meet your surgeon, ask questions, discuss different treatment options, understand the risks and complications of treatment (or alternatively, the risk of no treatment), review costs and/or budgets, and tailor treatment to fit your individual needs, wants, budget, etc.

Thank you very much for the review, Gregory!
Fantastic experience: Exceptional experience with an outstanding oral surgeon! My daughter recently had oral surgery consisting of 2 sinus augmentations and 2 custom ridge augmentations totaling 4 bone grafts in all quadrants of the mouth. I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of care, professionalism, and expertise she received. From the initial consultation to post-op follow-ups, the entire process was seamless and reassuring. Dr. Jason Lustig took the time to explain every step of the procedure, answered all my questions with patience and ensured she was comfortable throughout the entire process. The staff was equally kind, efficient, and supportive, making the experience smooth and stress-free. Madelynn’s recovery was quicker than expected with little swelling, minimal discomfort that lasted less than 48 hours with only having to take Ibuprofen, and no bruising…clear evidence of Dr. Lustig’s precision and skill. I truly felt she was in the best hands possible. She anticipates a healthy healing for the next 6 months and looks forward to receiving her 4 implants in January. If you’re looking for an oral surgeon who combines knowledge, compassion, and top-notch care, I highly recommend Dr. Jason Lustig and the team at ArkLaTex Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. They set the gold standard in oral surgery!

Appreciate the review, John!
Fantastic experience: So I’ll start out with I have Graves’ disease that’s a little crazy right now after battling the flu. I was absolutely terrified because of my heart rate and blood pressure to have my tooth extracted under iv sedation this morning, but everything came out great. Lol I will not lie I suffer from horrible anxiety and panic attacks that can be so embarrassing, but the staff was great and handled it well with no rudeness whatsoever (which I have dealt with in the past at other places). My memory is horrible and I really wish I could remember her name, but to the assistant or nurse who held my hand as I dealt with my anxiety after, thank you so very much! I know I was a mess and you handled it like a rock star. The other staff equally amazing, but holding a strangers hand as they panic and calming them down just lets me know you’re a good human.
Thank you so much for the detailed review, Jessica! We are experts at managing dental anxiety, and we're so happy you shared that experience. Lucy and Riley were your assistants that day. They are certainly great!
Fantastic experience: They help d us get Care Credit for procedure. Very kind and supportive
Thank you very much, Karen!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Banker and his team! I had two erupted wisdom teeth removed on one side, and the entire process was very smooth. The team was so quick—my surgery was over in less than 45 minutes! I was extremely anxious beforehand about going under, but they made me feel totally at ease. When I woke up, I felt normal, went home, took a nap, and had zero swelling over the next week. I was never in any pain, only taking ibuprofen. My teeth have healed beautifully with no complications at all. If you're nervous about wisdom tooth removal, trust this team—he is amazing! Highly recommend!!!
Thank you so much for the detailed review, Madison!
Fantastic experience: The care and concern given to Andrea was first class. I highly recommend their services.
Thank you very much, Andrea!
Fantastic experience: This place is absolutely phenomenal! I was in so much pain from my crappy wisdom teeth and within days two were removed and had a coronectomy performed on the bottom two. Dr. Lustig is absolutely wonderful! Definitely can tell he was trained at LSU (where you see any and everything) and has perfected those skills impeccably! On day 3 and still no pain! Jennifer, in the front office, is heaven sent! She made some adjustments and got me in sooner due to my pain. I was so nervous and had so much anxiety on the day of surgery that one of his staff members placed her hand on my shoulder as comfort and another told me about her weekend as I drifted off to sleep. It’s the simple things! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for the detailed review, Brittni! We appreciate it!

Appreciate it, Marisa!
Fantastic experience: Went to a different dentist and oral surgeon to have teeth pulled and implants placed. Was advised I had thrush when teeth were pulled. Was treated for thrush which was miss diagnosed, turned out to be oral cancer. Teeth placed on hold until cancer treatments completed. Went back to oral surgeon who advised the implants couldn’t be done due to the cancer in which they were paid up front for the procedures. Went to Arklatex Oral Surgery for a consultation with Dr. Ducote. Dr. Ducote and their staff bent over backwards to help me and advised the implants could be placed and explained the entire process. I had the bone shaved and implants placed in the lower jaw on 12-3-24. Go back for post surgery follow up 12-10-24 and to schedule the surgery on my upper jaw. Have been waiting on teeth for a year and finally able to have them done thanks to Dr. Ducote, new dentist Dr. Stewart, and their excellent staff at Arklatex Oral Surgery. Everyone makes you feel very comfortable prior to, during, and after surgery. Best experience I’ve had with dentist and oral surgeon by far! I will definitely recommend Arklatex Oral Surgery to anyone needing oral surgery, they’re the best!!!
Thank you very much for the detailed review, Chuck! It sounds like you’ve had a frustrating road, and we’re glad to be a part of getting you back on track!

You’re welcome! Thank you for the review!
Fantastic experience: This was our first time using the Oral Surgeon and Dr. Ducote was so nice and all the staff was so friendly. They took all 4 of my daughters Wisdom teeth out and they did a great job! And I called with questions and they were very helpful. They even called to check on her after the surgery. Thank you so much for making this a very enjoyable time that I know wasn’t fun for my daughter.
Thank you so much, Deana!
Fantastic experience: I had a wisdom tooth extracted 5days ago. Probably the best dental procedure I have ever had. Procedure started on time and and Dr Ducote administered IV and when I woke up all was complete. No swelling or pain and all’s good! Staff is professional and cordial and I highly recommend their services.
Thank you so much for the review, Bud!
Fantastic experience: I went for evaluation for future extractions. I was very pleased with my visit. Everyone was polite and professional. Dr. Ducote answered all my questions and explained the procedure for the surgery. I have since had my oral surgery and am very satisfied with how everything went. Everyone was friendly and supportive and there was no pain. I was in and out and on my way home after a couple of hours. I would recommend these doctors for your oral surgery.
Thank you very much, Robert!
Fantastic experience: Man.i go in for a wisdom tooth extraction. Super nervous. But I've never had an experience like this before. I walk in, they have my room ready. No wait time. Dr comes in, puts in an IV, I remember talking and within 5 seconds, I'm OUT. I wake up, they say it's over and was only 30 mins! They wheel me out to my driver and give me a goodie bag with all the necessities. They give you a brochure showing what to do. What to expect. All the things. 10/10. I hope I never need another oral surgery in the future, but if I do. I'm going here.
Thank you so much for the detailed review, Johnna!
