An attempt was made to re-crown and old root canal of 20 years. Tooth was too decayed to proceed with new crown only the root remained. Made an appointment with Dr. Pat to extract the root. As I am disabled, my son guided me onto the chair. I asked the assistant if I would need a bone graft, and he replied no that I would be fine without it I was pleasantly surprised that he wasn't trying to sell me anything. Dr. Pat walked in. We chatted for a few minutes. My impression of her is that. She was very professional in her approach to me yet she was very friendly and somewhat concerned about my situation. She proceeded to numb me by administering numbing gel first waited a few minutes then two numbing solutions. Short little pokes about three and it was over completely painless in fact, I didn't even feel the pokes, then proceeded to do the extraction a few minutes later she said it's out. Wow I thought in one piece!!! Dr. Pat used dissolvable sutures to stitch me up, protected the space and the forming clot very well. I was quite happy, everything was so smooth. That evening at around 6 o'clock she called me to check up on how I was doing. It was a very nice welcoming call. I told her I was fine. I healed very well no pain no swelling a really nice outcome. I would not hesitate to go back to see dr. Pat if I need any oral surgery in the future. I also had a great experience with another 7 x 7 doctor about eight years ago great doctor, honest, caring, and professional. First class care all around. Thank you.
