Most people get to choose their doctors by scouring Yelp and Google and doing extensive educational background checks. I didn't get to do that with Dr. Liddell, but I couldn't possibly have had a better outcome. Living in San Antonio, I opted to use the dental school to take care of my jaw surgery. Dr. Liddell, who was chief resident at the time, was assigned to my case... and what a cool, mellow guy.
He explained the procedure in detail, told me what to expect, what risks were involved, and answered all of my questions. He was very accommodating and treated me like I was the only patient he was going to see that day. He was very knowledgeable, personable, and above all, reassuring. He really took the time to build up a mutual trust. This was a far cry from the doctors who talk quick, get right to the point, and have you facing the exit sign before you've even got a word in... and I've seen my fair share of those.
I recovered from my surgery well and relatively fast. I saw Dr. Liddell a few times after for my follow-up appointments which were pretty breezy. He made sure I was following a good home-care regimen, eating what I was supposed to, etc. Overall, he was incredibly thorough and very caring. As an aside, he has a very entertaining sense of humor.
tl;dr I got my jaws sliced and diced, I'm still alive, and Dr. Liddell is fantastic. Tannyhill OMS is very lucky to have him! read more
