Dr. Banda made my experience with getting my wisdom teeth extracted better than I could have imagined. There are so many reasons why I would recommend Dr. Banda, but here are just a couple.
First - he really cared about me as a patient. This was clear from my first visit to Bel-Red Oral when I went in for my initial oral examination. On the morning of my procedure, I got nervous and decided I wanted to be fully sedated for my extraction when I had originally planned on just using laughing gas. I was already in the chair being prepared for the procedure when I came to this conclusion, and I could not have anesthesia because I consumed some water that morning. Despite the massive inconvenience, Dr. Banda gave me the opportunity to come back 6 hours later and have the procedure done with sedation as I wanted. This meant that him and his nurses had to extend their workday on a sunny Friday afternoon, which is something most people would not be willing to do. From that, it was really clear that Dr. Banda wanted me to be comfortable and confident in this procedure and was willing to do everything in his power to make that happen.
Second - Dr. Banda is a no B.S. type of guy, which is an extremely important quality to have as a doctor. This also becomes very clear from your very first interaction with him. His demeanor made me gain his full trust very quickly, and while being incredibly kind and articulate, ensured that I had all of the information I needed. In my opinion, having full trust in your doctor is the keystone in a positive experience as a patient. Dr. Banda even called me hours after my surgery on a Friday night to make sure I was doing well and ask if I had any questions, ensuring me that I could call him at any time if I ever needed anything. I knew he cared and was being 100% honest, which is everything I could ask for.
Third - Dr. Banda and his partners at Bel-Red Oral have assembled a really great staff. The receptionists were inviting and helpful, the nurses made it their mission to make sure I was comfortable and happy, and Dr. Banda himself is very personable. I called the office multiple times over the week following my procedure, and was always met with positive attitudes and helpful answers.
Lastly - My procedure went great. My recovery was easy and everything went according to plan.
If you need to have your wisdom teeth extracted or any other oral surgery done, I would 10000% go to Dr. Banda. read more
