Dr. Hlavacek and his team are amazing! My son had his wisdom teeth removed this morning and he’s doing great. Very caring and capable team. Thanks!
Kansas City Surgical Arts is the best. The WHOLE staff is amazing and caring. It starts with setting up a consultation all the way through your procedure and follow ups. The front desk ladies, patient coordinator (Hannah) to nursing, (Bella, and Kim) and of course Dr. Hlavacek (the best), care so much for their patients. I would highly recommend KC Surgicial Arts.
Dr. Hlavacek and his team did a fantastic job on my oral surgery. I particularly like that during every step they were telling me what to expect next. Everything from you're going to feel a little pinch here or this is the next sound you're going to hear or you're going to feel pressure now. An additional plus was the team being right on time for my appointments. No sitting and waiting for an extended period of time. Their communication regarding appointment times, prepping for my procedure and aftercare was top-notch. An additional kudos goes to Dr. Hlavacek for giving me a call the evening of my procedure to check in on me. I have no doubt in my mind that I made the correct choice for my dental care. I would recommend them highly.
Amazing staff, amazing Dr, and amazing results so far! From consultation to surgery, Dr Hlavacek did incredible. I got my breast augmentation surgery yesterday at 8am and he called me last night at 9pm to check on me. With surgery yesterday, they already look fantastic even with the swelling. To the point my husband said he would have paid double for them 🤣 I can’t wait to see what they look like when completely healed! Thank you all!
Dr. Matt Hlavacek at Kansas City Surgical Arts and his staff were simply outstanding! I am so grateful for their compassion and excellence in caring for patients.
