Very friendly staff. Dr Menegotto and Ashley are a wonderful team. Not only were they kind to me, their professional interactions were very respectful. Procedure was only slightly painful (numbing shots) and not uncomfortable at all. Very minimal pain in the days following. Happy with this office and would recommend.

Thanks to Kentucky center for Oral surgery and Dr.Nichol. As someone who has always been afraid of dentist. Dr Nickol and associates made me feel great and talked me through every procedure. And after every appointment I received a call from the nurses making sure I was ok. It may not mean much to some , but it made me feel like they cared about there patients. I will always recommend Kentucky center for oral surgery to all. Thanks again Marie

I recently had my wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Kelsey Menegotto and her team. They all did a wonderful job and I have been healing up just fine with no major issues. Everyone was very kind and professional, and the office was very clean. I would definitely recommend them and will return if I have any issues in the future.
