Benjamin William Walline

I consulted with Dr. Walline on a recent trip from Canada to meet with some of the best maxillofacial surgeons in North America. Of the three I consulted with, Dr. Walline by far impressed me the most. My impression of Dr. Walline is that his chief motivation is to provide the best possible outcome for his patients, and this is amply evidenced by the overwhelmingly positive experiences of his past patients, several of whom I've spoken with directly. When the goals of the surgeon and the goals of the patient perfectly align, you can feel confident that you're making the right choice. Unlike the other surgeons I met with, Dr. Walline was confident in his abilities but not at all arrogant. A surgeon who doesn't appreciate his limitations is a potential recipe for disaster, and I am confident that Dr. Walline is not that kind of surgeon. One of my favourite parts of our consultation was our discussion about how his practice has evolved over time. He explained how with increased experience and emerging scientific evidence he has continuously evolved his techniques and approaches. A surgeon who understands that he can't possibly know everything and continually works to learn more and implement more into his practice to improve patient outcomes is the exact kind of surgeon I am looking for. Dr. Walline is that kind of surgeon. Having said that, I do not feel that Dr. Walline is the type of surgeon to push the envelope with frankly ego-based approaches to achieving maximal or radical results that can leave patients with life altering complications and the need for revision surgery down the road. The patient experience, and not bragging rights or an interesting case study are what motivates Dr. Walline. Too many surgeons are focused on their own desires with little regard for their patient's true needs. I was also impressed with the degree of technology employed in his practice, including and especially the use of imaging technology to protect the hypoglossal nerve during maxillomandibular advancement. For the type of surgery I am considering, there are a multitude of important factors to consider. Dr. Walline thoroughly touched on al of these aspects. Function, facial aesthetics, potential complications and more were all extensively discussed. I did not feel at all rushed, even though I knew of the significant constraint on his time. I was given a tempered and reasoned opinion, one that I can confidently base these important decisions on going forward. For that I am very grateful, and my consultation alone with Dr. Walline made my international trip during the COVID-19 pandemic worthwhile.

Dr. Walline is an excellent surgeon and a kind and caring human being. He did surgery on my upper and lower jaw and I’m thrilled with the results. I can breathe through my nose and I have a chin. I highly recommend him.

I was so impressed with the cleanliness of the office and the professionalism of the staff. Thank you!

Dr. Walline is an excellent oral surgeon! Kind and caring with a great team. He does a great job at wisdom teeth, dental implants, TMJ surgery, and also jaw surgery. 5 stars for Dr. Walline and team!

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Walline. I do not believe that my double jaw surgery could have been performed to any greater degree of perfection. It is obvious that Dr. Walline is passionate about what he does; and he is skilled. He studies meticulously, he has a wealth of experience and good hands, and he is the person to go to for jaw surgery. The feeling of biting into food like normal is so satisfying. I can eat much better now. I can close my mouth. I even breathe differently. I can chew food without it falling out of my mouth. I can eat pizza, sandwiches, apples, anything; and it is no longer a struggle to bite down on my food using my bottom teeth and my tongue. I can go out and eat in public and not feel embarrassed. I can smile with confidence. I can talk and flirt with women without letting a Class III malocclusion hold me back from being myself. Before my surgery I never wanted to smile. I never wanted to talk and avoided eating many foods because I couldn’t. I cannot thank Dr. Walline enough for improving my quality of life. Words cannot describe how thankful I am for being blessed to have found a surgeon like Dr. Walline. I could not have asked for a better experience or a better new face. I recommend Dr. Walline to anyone looking for an experienced jaw surgeon. Again, Thank you Dr. Walline. You are THE man! I had an amazing experience with Dr. Walline.

After a lifetime of of poor sleep quality (for myself and anyone in the same room with me because of my snoring!) I was able to finally achieve a good night's rest - and no snoring! All of this is thanks to Dr Walline and the entire LACOMS team (special shout outs and thanks to treatment coordinator Jacquie and assistant Karen!). If I could sum my entire experience with LACOMS into one word, it would be: Superb! Background I am 48 years old. Until this week, I spent my entire life with a significantly underdeveloped lower and slightly underdeveloped upper jaw (read: huge overbite and no chin). This condition impacted the quality of my sleep, my breathing, and overall physical appearance. Earlier this year I was referred to Dr Walline at LACOMS by my Orthodontist (360 Orthodontics - full disclosure: I work at 360 Orthodontics as Director Of Operations). Consult Day Dr Walline and the entire staff at LACOMS did a wonderful job making me feel comfortable throughout consult day. Th

Don’t let him do any surgery on you or your child. He ruined my child’s jaw. The office and surgery center are beautiful, but don’t let that fool you. Run elsewhere!

I had double jaw surgery back in June of 2015. I never thought I would have the confidence to follow through with such a large surgery. However, fate intervened and the most frightening situation turned out to be one of the very best things that ever could have happened. Drs. Walline DDS, MD and Relle DDS were my surgeons. They are the most thoughtful and the kindest people I have ever met. The planning and care that went into my procedure was perfect. They used high tech equipment includi
