About Me


"As an oral and maxillofacial surgeon it is rewarding to build the foundation on which the general dentist can restore the patient to normal form and function; then completing the process with facial esthetic procedures."

Dentist was very uninterested when he came in, looked at the x-ray and just told me to have all my wisdom tooth extracted at once. He did not ask what I wanted or preferred to be done. He talked to fast like in a hurry and treating me just like a transaction rather than a patient. When my husband asked him a few medical questions in regards to my current dental condition around my wisdom teeth and the risks of not extracting them, the dentist answers were somewhat sarcastic and not in depth dentist type of answers, and again very uninterested in what what being asked he just kept recommending just having all of my four wisdom teeth extracted at once as he kept referring to his own experience and being able to work the next day story. I felt unvalued and just told the dentist and assistant that I would think about it further and come back with a decision later instead of being rushed/pushed on the spot during this visit to make a decision quickly. Very uncomfortable appointment.
