Horrific wisdom tooth removal experience! Don't waste your time, money, or trust with this office!! My husband visited this practice for his wisdom tooth removal recently and we will never again return! It took all of 30 minutes for this procedure: from checking in, to sitting in the chair, to the surgeon JAMMING a needle 3 times into my husband's tooth for the local anesthetic, to then cutting open the gums and removing the tooth. Even the staff recognize how barbaric the surgeon is as they kindly and meekly ask whether you're in pain after injecting the anesthetic - I understand ensuring it takes, but no need to jam it in to where you hear/feel the needle hit the bone/tooth! Then the less than 10 minutes he takes to cut open the gums and YANK the tooth out?! My husband is a large man with a high pain tolerance, so for him to complain about excruciating pain or a forceful procedure (after multiple hernias and a sinus surgery) it must be terrible! The doctor used so much force to pull the tooth out - pushing on my husband's head and pulling on the tooth - that the chair's headrest gave out?!?! Had he been put under, that could have caused serious damage to his head, neck, or spine!! He has been in excruciating pain since! We have tried ice packs, cold packs, the hydrocodone, ibuprofen, a mix of both, laying down, lying back in a recliner - you name it! He has eaten all the soft and mushy foods for 7 days and kept up on the maintenance and still it's causing him pain. There's no dry socket or infection, so we can't think of any reason aside from the surgeon and his barbaric execution of the procedure! I emailed asking for further options to help provide pain relief and no one has responded - what terrible service for the amount of money and trust given to them!! He can't even focus on a simple conversation at times because he is in so much pain! I called the doctors cell phone as I would believe not being able to do anything but try to alleviate the pain as an emergency, and no answer?! They should be nothing but ashamed - the doctor and his staff!

Excellent doctor.
