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."

Communicated with the dentist that the local hadnt fully kicked in yet and he still began the procedure. It was obvious he was rushing through it especially because it was communicated earlier that my appointment was running about 40 minutes late due to an emergency walk in appointment. I was visually crying and shaking and did not receive appropriate numbing. This was a terrible experience and I never want to have any work done by this surgeon again.
