Our friendly and experienced team is excited to meet you! We are dedicated to providing you with comfortable, high-quality care, and you can rely on us to give you our full attention throughout your visit and to communicate openly and honestly with you to help you understand your treatment options. Call Facial Designs, P.A. today to set up an appointment with Dr. Roderick VanSurksum, our Board Certified oral surgeon in Minnetonka or Excelsior, Minnesota, and learn more. The staff at Facial Designs has something of which to be very proud! We now have 100% of our surgical staff “DAANCE” qualified! “DAANCE” stands for the Dental Anesthesia Assistant National Certification Examination and is a program designed to educate staff in the essentials of office-based ambulatory anesthesia and emergency protocols. So now, in addition to meeting all requirements for licensure to provide office-based anesthesia here in Minnesota, the nurses and assistants at Facial Designs have taken the extra step to ensure the safety of all our patients and completed this six-month program to strengthen their skills and knowledge. Congratulations Lisa, Michelle and Tammy and thank you for your hard work!
