Emily Jones

I could go on and on about how great Dr. Movahed is but I’ll keep this short. I panicked and broke down in tears at my pre-op appointment and he didn’t make it weird at all. He’s incredibly comforting and charismatic. He preformed double jaw surgery on me 3 weeks ago and the results are amazing.

Michelle Lewis

We have used Dr. Movahed for two oral surgeries and couldn’t be happier! From the front desk staff to his assistants and to Dr. Movahed himself, everyone is friendly and professional. Our wait times have been minimal, if any, they’re very patient with questions, and follow-up visits have been excellent and timely. We feel very well informed.

Kurt Eller

Dr Movahed and all of his staff, to include Courtney, turned what should have been a terrible experience into as good of an experience as possible! I had a complicated jaw surgery to include implants done at the same time and the results are better than could be imagined. Great-Great People!

Annette Clemon

Thank you so much for everything! Everyone was so nice from the time I walked up to the window until the time I walked out to my car. I had a very nice lady taking good care of me. I hate I don’t remember her name. Dr Stutz did a great job and I’m doing awesome! No excessive bleeding and really not in any real pain like I thought. I’m taking the meds, eating soft and healthy foods, resting and just taking care of myself.

Cheryl Becker

Amazing and friendly staff Helped accomodate with schedule to make our “trip count” to the city. Dr Movahed was thorough and to the point Allowed time for questions Highly recommend.

Glenn Beavers

True excellence. I cannot say enough about the work Dr. Movahed has done for me. He is truly an extraordinary surgeon. I was looking for a second opinion after my jaw was broken during a wisdom tooth extraction with another oral surgeon.

Patricia Trebilcock

My dentist recommended I see Dr. Movahed to have a tooth pulled and for ongoing jaw joint issues. I went to the O’Fallon, Illinois office for the tooth and subsequent bone grafting. The procedures went smoothly. Everyone involved was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and willing to spend time answering my questions.

Brian Schmuke

My son, age 12, has had 2 separate procedures done at Movahed OMS within the last year. Dr. Movahed and the staff there are as good as it gets. They took excellent care of my son as well as 2 nervous parents. Dr. Movahed is an extremely skilled surgeon with care, patience, and empathy to match. There is no need to look any further for an Oral Surgeon.

Hannah Miller

If you want the best, look no further. I had a total jaw joint replacement by the capable hands of Dr. Movahed less than two weeks ago and am thriving. I was terrified, but Dr. Movahed calmed my nerves and patiently answered all of my numerous questions. Not only is he extremely skilled at the procedure itself, but he is very cognizant of the aesthetic effects that having surgery on one’s face can have!
