Patient Reviews

I was scared for years to go to an oral surgeon for an extraction.When the pain became too much to bear I got up my nerve and saw Dr. Sonpal.To my surprise,the visit was actually pleasant,quick,and not really expensive.And what is most surprising is that even though a main molar is now gone,I don't even notice it.

Had a lower wisdom tooth pulled, Dr Kathryn Sonpal, was excellent! Would recommend her A+

As a child, I had a really bad experience that had left me terrified of the dental chair! Despite several dentists telling me to remove my impacted wisdom tooth which were a 'ticking time disaster', I had avoided the dental chair for many years. When I consulted Dr Pokorny, he laid out all risks and benefits. Given my procrastination of treatment, he pointed out the somewhat difficult journey ahead, but, at no point did he force any treatment. His professionalism but gentle manner gave me the confidence to proceed. Everything went smoothly. My post operative care was fabulous. He advised me what steps to take for pain when I called him out of hours during the Christmas break. Its been 2 weeks since the surgery. I still have some physical discomfort but I have the mental comfort that a very compassionate Dr is only a phone call away. My sincere gratitude to him and his staff.

I needed my lone wisdom tooth removed and was referred to Dr. Renke. I went in today. The doctor was ready for my appointment before the scheduled time, and gave a concise but informative rundown of the procedure. After receiving local sedation, Dr. Renke went right to work. I kid you not: about twenty seconds later the tooth was out, the sutures were in, and I was being debriefed. Not only did Dr. Renke do such wonderful work. but the staff was wonderful, incredibly friendly, and extremely skilled in "bedside manner". If you need a procedure done, I can definitely recommend Dr. Renke.

I was really nervous but everyone made me feel so comfortable. Dr Sonpal was awesome. I'm a little sore but not like I thought it would be!

Outstanding service by Dr. Pokorny and his staff ! ! ! I do NOT like going to the dentist but he and his assistants made it as relaxing and anxiety free as I could have hoped for.

Not sure what to stress to researchers more: Dr. Pokorny's stellar bedside manner, the ease and simplicity of the tooth extraction and dental implant, or the welcoming staff. You will certainly be in good hands!!! My sincerest gratitude to Dr. Pokorny for making the entire process a breeze! Amazing you can even say "dental implant" and "breeze" in the same sentence! 🙂

I got my wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Pokorny when he still worked at the Birmingham Oral Surgery Group @ 555 Woodward back in 2013. Even before my surgery started, I had a severe panic attack and Dr. Pokorny was able to talk down and get me to relax, which I appreciated (and is also why I am not giving him a 1 star review). But since my surgery (4 years ago) I have had 5 tooth fragments come through my gums over the years. Both of my three of my holes never healed properly bc of tooth fragments left behind and I am actually going back this week to get my 6th tooth fragment removed from my gums. And these aren't tiny pieces, two of them have been the size of like 1/4 of my tooth! I just don't understand how he left so much of my tooth behind. Maybe he rushed through my surgery? Who knows. But having to continuously deal with this issue of the span of 4 years has NOT been fun.

Dr. Pokorny is an excellent dentist. I had to do wisdom tooth extraction and he did it in 15 minutes without any pain. I would recommend this place for any dentistry related issues without any second thought. Staff is very customer friendly and very humble.

Dr. Pokorny is masterful in his work. Easy, fast, and painless removal of wisdom teeth. Available before and after surgery whenever you need him.

I had a molar tooth extraction with sedation done by Dr. Pokorny and staff. This was the best dental experience I have ever had. From the beginning to end, everything was painless! The doctor called me later in the day to see how I was doing. I would highly recommend Dr. Pokorny to anyone needing Oral Surgery!

Today, I was at my regular dentist with incredible right sided face pain that was just getting worse and worse. The pain was centered over an old root canal so I was confused as to how or WHY I was feeling such intense pain over a tooth that no longer had a nerve. Xrays revealed my root had cracked and was becoming infected, hence the pain. I was basically about to rip the damn tooth out myself. The dentist called Renke Paul's office and asked if I could be immediately seen for an extraction. Not only did they accommodate this request, when I arrived, I was seen quickly and the staff was absolutely phenomenal. They explained every procedure and answered all my questions. The doctor was amazing and compassionate. I was in so much pain I was crying. They removed that damned tooth and made sure I had antibiotics and gave me a Motrin 600 and within an hour, I was completely back to normal (sans one tooth but hey....no more pain). Next step is an implant. I can't thank these guys enough. I was missing work. I was ready to just run into traffic from the pain. They understood my emergency and I can't thank them enough. Later, the doctor called to check up on me. It was much appreciated. I will recommend them to everyone. <3

Wonderful Dr. and staff. My daughter had her wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Pokorny and it went smoothly and with very minimal pain. Very efficient process and staff. The doctor himself even called to check on my daughter several hours after the surgery. Kind and caring office. We were both very pleased and impressed.

Absolutey loved Paul Renke and his amazing staff. They fit me in the same day I called for a wisdom tooth extraction and didn't mind that I am 8 months pregnant (had a doctor's note from my OB of course). He was so fast and it was super painless even though all I got was local anesthetic. He was very nice and made sure I was comfortable the entire time! They even called me later in the day to check up on me. Even his assistant was a huge sweetheart. I'm so glad I saw him today, I will definitely be returning after I have my daughter to get the other 3 wisdom teeth out by him. I would recommend him to anyone having anxiety about extractions or any need for oral surgery.

We love the office of Dr. Renke and Dr. Pokorny! The entire staff is very professional and so pleasant. I would highly recommend anyone looking for extensive oral surgery work to go here!

Amazing staff. Absolutely wonderful with kids!

- Lynne Schultz

I had two extractions of my wisdom teeth. Dr. Pokorny was great, I have minimal pain if any at all. I feel great and would recommend anyone to go see him. The office staff was very friendly and very informative.

Ok, this was my second trip to Dr. Pokorny. First he had to remove the tooth, then he had to replace it with an implant. Now neither of these procedures is what I would call fun, but Dr Pokorny and his wonderful staff make it a pleasant experience. I'm not the easiest patient. I had to be put to sleep but all went great. I also got very personal service, each time the Doctor called me to make sure I was ok. I would recommend Dr. Pokorny for tooth extraction and for implants. Best experience one could expect to have.
