Dr. Mark Erickson is an extremely nice doctor. He took the time to talk to me about my procedure and any/all concerns that I may have had. My procedure went very well as discused. I would gladly return to him for all future procedures that are needed.

My experience at Prairie Path Oral Surgery was amazing. I can not recommend this facility enough! I went in to get my wisdom teeth removed just yesterday & the process was so quick & easy.

The team made me feel so comfortable! The women at the front desk were so warm & welcoming, the nurses were so sweet & explained everything thoroughly to make sure I was as comfortable as possible during the process, & Dr Erickson is the sweetest man on the planet! One of the assistants even helped me re-tie my ponytail because I was feeling a little too good after surgery haha! Thank you to the PPOS team you all are amazing, you truly made my experience so great!

My daughter had a challenging surgery due to the way her wisdom teeth were growing. The Dr and Nurses did a wonderful job caring for her. The after care instructions were clear and helpful. I was given this office via recommendation and I would also highly recommend.

I had an outstanding experience at Prairie Path Oral Surgery. The clinic itself is very clean and modern, making any appointment more welcoming. Dr.

Erickson and his team make every effort to make sure all patients feel welcomed and informed for each procedure, and I couldn't be more grateful for all their hard work. My wisdom teeth surgery was very quick, and my recovery has been smooth thanks to their excellent post-op instructions. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone in need of oral surgery; they truly go above and beyond :)
