Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I had a terrible experience with Dr. Scott Drooger. My wife went in for a tooth extraction and requested a quote for a bone graft. The quote of over $1,000 was significantly higher than what we had paid for the same procedure last year at her regular dentist. When we asked to speak with Dr. Drooger to clarify the cost and the procedure, he was rude and dismissive. His only explanation was, 'It costs this much because I went to school for 16 years,' and he rushed out of the room without providing any details.I was shocked by his unprofessional behavior, and we left the office without proceeding with the treatment. Based on our experience and what I’ve heard from others, I would strongly recommend doing additional research before seeing Dr. Drooger. His bedside manner was awful, and I can’t imagine that he provides quality care given the way he treated us.

Terrible.
This Dr risked my own health because he could not own up to making a mistake. He stocked my cheek to my gum where he extracted my wisdom tooth. My cheek was red and inflamed where the stitches were and when I went in for a follow up he acted like nothing was wrong. I felt totally dismissed and not cared about. Called other dentists and oral surgeons and they all assured me having your cheek stitched and connected to the site is not normal.

Not my first visit to Dr Drooger & this office. Dr Drooger is the best and his staff is excellent. Had 3 teeth pulled and it went great. I recommend to anyone.

Wonderful doctor & staff! My 17 year old had 4 wisdoms teeth cut out & everything went smoothly. Everyone from both the Wentzville & Ofallon offices were fabulous!

Awful Awful Dr. Horrible bedside manor. If you are looking for an oral surgeon look elsewhere. My son has an issue coming out of anesthesia and I explained this to him before hand. He assured me everything would be fine. Not even 5 minutes after recovery-- Dr. waved his finger in my face saying this is not anesthesia, this is your parenting. Please make a wise choice and do not use him. Awful Awful. My five year old son is now more traumatized by dentist and surgeon before coming in.

He calmed all my nerves, literally and figuratively. I had four wisdom teeth removed and it took under 30 minutes from sedation to waking up. I didn’t have to wait on him, everyone was prepared and friendly and eager to help any of my needs. I highly recommend Dr. Drooger and Midwest Oral Surgery. I have been in very minimal pain and felt completely normal the night after my procedure.

We had a very positive experience with Dr. Drooger and his staff. My 9yo son needed 6 teeth extracted. Dr. Drooger was a "second opinion" after meeting with another local oral surgeon. I left the consult feeling very good that Dr. Drooger was a better fit for our needs/concerns. The day of the procedure, my was very nervous but Dr. Drooger and his staff were excellent and very caring. My son left asking when he could come back! Would not hesitate to recommend this practice!

I had all four wisdom teeth out here. I had a lot of anxiety about it, but Dr. Drooger and his nurses put me at ease with their friendliness. They were sensitive to my fear of needles and helped me smoothly through the process. Would definitely recommend.
