I'll be the first to admit, I HATE anything to do with my head area, unless it's a massage or kissing a beautiful woman. I'm saying that jokingly but I don't like my eyes, sinus, teeth nothing on my face manipulated as it freaks me out. But since I grind my teeth and my back molar had a root canal and several procedures due to stress, it fell off and took most of my tooth with it, I decided to just yank it. Yes, sometimes we gotta Cowboy up and "do what must be done." That's where Access Oral Surgery in Summerville comes into the picture.
First of all, they specialize in quick response. I was literally able to get seen the day of my call if I needed. Next, they're located in conveniently located in an easy to access area of town with what can be a challenging parking lot. Let's go inside, shall we? The facility is extremely clean and well kept. Next, the staff here are amazing. My appt was at 8am on Thursday and I was checked in and in Xray within 5 minutes of completing my paperwork. After the Xray and consultation I had to finish the paperwork and billing. Man, I was so happy to see how reasonable the pricing was for yanking my tooth.
My first dental assistant Krystal was a very kind and patient tech. She asked me all those questions she needed and made me feel comfortable even as I had anxiety. She literally calmed my nerves. Right before the procedure I had another tech - Allison whom was equally efficient and hit my vein for my IV on the first try! She was pleasant and continued treating me with care and love. As for the surgeon Dr Hall, I loved this guy. He went through all of my history, quickly identified the issue and discussed the plan of attack. Moreover, he laughed at my jokes and make several assurances as we prepped. A short note as I've had a LOT of procedures which requires being under, SC the surgeon is also the anesthesiologist. Don't let that scare you, just a detail I found... interesting.
I was up and walking around soon after - please forgive my lack of attention to detail about the timing b/c I was woozy, but it was quick. Moreover, my recovery wasn't too bad either. While my face feels like I just got done fighting a kangaroo, there's surprisingly a small amount of pain.
If you have an emergency or want to plan any number of dental or oral procedures, look no further than Access Oral Surgery in Summerville. The prices are reasonable, the staff is phenomenal, my procedure was quick and the recovery is fast. While I hope I never have to see them again (I mean that in a loving and self-severing manner) if I do, I know I'm in great hands. read more
