As a patient who belongs to the medical field, I can honestly say that Dr. Knoefel is one of the best in his field. Not to mention, he has wonderful sense of humor.
I love my smile! Thanks to Dr. K and the whole team of Oasis. I won't miss wearing braces but I will definitely miss you guys.

There is no doubt Dr. Knoefel is successful at what he does, and quite frankly overcharges...you can see this with his expensive SUV parked out front plugged in for charging, and all the features of the office including iPads and Nintendo Switches for the kiddos, and the huge video wall, fireplace and virtual aquarium. Not to mention the high end coffee bar with a better selection of coffees, teas, juice, and water than any convenience store, as well as a selection of any magazine you can think of. All this makes me lose faith in this type of profession, especially as not everyone - my family included - has insurance for orthodontics and uses life savings to pay for services, which end up being used for extravagant things like this office. Gone are the days of doctors doing it for the better of people and not to keep growing their wallets and egos. For shame!!!

I went to Dr. Knoefel for my first set if braces back when I was young . Then again recently, due to a surgery that required me to have braces. Saying that Dr. Knoefel goes above and beyond for his patients is a understatement. Throughout my entire surgery journey he made himself involved with my other doctors and surgeons to make sure that the results would benefit me, to going as far to sitting down with my surgeon to craft up a plan that would work as close to perfect as possible. He has always been completely honest with me and makes to sure to cover every detail with me. Not to mention he is an exceptional doctor. He has a wonderful sense of humor and I enjoy every one of my visits (even the tightening appointments)
And his wonderful staff is just as lovely.
I definently wont miss wearing braces but I will definitely miss him and his staff when my journey is over. Forever grateful to him and his team for exceeding my expectations and making my smile beautiful.

For the last three years I have worked in a dental office. We send most of our orthodontic referrals to Oasis Orthodontics. This behind the scenes relationship has given me the opportunity to get to know Dr. Knoefel and his team quite well. And to round out my experience, I have been a patient as well!

I can say that having braces at 58 yrs. old, gave me a whole new respect for the younger set!! It was a completely unique experience in that my daughter and I were banded within 3 weeks of each other and my grandchildren were in pre-ortho treatment … three generations!!

Many people have mentioned the friendly staff, awesome service and great environment. It’s all true but I want to comment on expertise, communication and success.

Braces aren’t just about straight teeth. They can correct a number of issues and they’re a big investment of both time and money. Expertise in the diagnosis and execution of treatment WILL save you both. Dr. Knoefel is one of the best in his field. You won’t hear that from him though. It’s when you talk to other professionals you hear words like ‘brilliant’ and ‘exceptional’.

In our hi-tech, device driven age, basic ‘people skills’ seem to have all but disappeared. Dr. Knoefel and his team excel at truly listening, enabling them to relate to patients and their families on an individual level. No question is brushed off, no concern is unanswered. The Oasis staff are proficient, friendly and compassionate. They welcome you, CARE for you, and cheer you on to victory at every visit. Communication is the key.

The ultimate proof of course, is in the results. The patients we refer to Dr. Knoefel frequently complete their treatment ahead of schedule – myself included. Their smiles display the exuberance of success – success in effective treatment, success in the amazing outcome. I personally could not be more grateful for my results. If braces are in your future – either for yourself or for a child – Oasis Orthodontics should be your first call.

I updating my score because it was fault thay I lost my bottom retainer. I do feel that all orthadontists and dentists should replace retainers to a limit oasis was very patient with me with the fact that I was late for almost every appoinmnet and missed several appoinmnets.

I had a good experience, great staff , Dr. Knoefel was super cool. Thought having entertainment setup for young people was awesome. Had one gripe since I got my braces off (whoever took mine off was not gentle by the way) and that is I still have an overbite even after they said it was good. Considering my parents dropped me off and picked me back up again I was always there alone so I took them at their word. It has been years now and I haven't talked about it ever since it's too late and I can't afford the correction. Great service until the end but I felt like they botched my experience by not making sure my parents were there for the final check up to see if they were good with my teeth.

Biography

Dr. Mark Knoefel was born in St. Bruno, Quebec, a suburb of Montreal. He obtained his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from McGill University in 1995. The year 1996 saw him moving to Edmonton to obtain his Master of Science degree in Orthodontics at the University of Alberta, which he completed in the spring of 1999. His vision for Oasis Orthodontics is to provide the safest, most effective and efficient orthodontic treatment available today. Together with his team, he accomplishes this objective by performing a thorough diagnosis, creating a customized, detailed treatment plan for each patient, and ensuring that progress check points occur regularly throughout treatment. Dr. Knoefel uses highly accurate 3D virtual simulations not only to develop his treatment plans, but also to better explain objectives of treatment to his patients, and educate them throughout their orthodontic experience. Dr Knoefel’s decision making is firmly grounded in applying current scientific evidence with his wealth of clinical experience that he has accumulated over the past 19 years of caring for the patient community in Edmonton, St. Albert, Sherwood Park and surrounding areas. He has a passion for studying languages, as he can speak, read and write English, French and German fluently and has taken courses in Spanish, Japanese and Swedish. He enjoys greeting patients in their native language- and he loves being taught phrases in new languages. In his spare time, with his wife Line, they raise their three boys and one beautiful girl. They are always on the go with extracurricular activities with their children.
