I have severe anxiety about dentists, and generally even a cleaning causes me a great deal of…read moretrauma I need time to recover from. I needed a tooth extracted. I knew it would be difficult. I made the appointment and was asked if I wanted two appts - one with a consultation and one with the extraction. Well of course I didn't want TWO appts, I just wanted to get it done. I did not get a consultation, but when I asked the receptionist why it would be needed, she said "You know to discuss what is needed for your tooth." Well they had an Xray from another dentist. Seemed a waste of time to me. I told them about the anxiety when I made the appt ("I have extreme anxiety, so I may need addtl support during this"), I told them when I showed up (I have anxiety, I need whatever you can provide to make this easier). I told the nurse. I told the doctor. I told everyone who would listen I needed as much support as they had. Everyone nodded. There was no nitrous, no offer of sedation, no additional support beyond "we can numb you longer" which, bless them, is not really helpful when you have severe anxiety. I cried while they extracted it, but I held very very still while crying, except for the trembling, because my childhood taught me to be still during traumatic moments when I am being hurt. There were no blankets offered, no headphones available, no tvs, no distraction. Nothing at all really. Just me in a freezing cold room having trauma done to me. Does it make it any better that my insurance paid for it? Not really. I like to think Dr Castaneda would have offered nitrous or additional supports if they were available to the practice. I would have paid for any of it, no question - we could have afforded it. So clearly they just...don't? Which is awful, really. Not even one sad faded poster on the ceiling for me to stare at instead of a bright light. We are full time nomads. I saw a gyno in Austin, TX who had nitrous for the anxious. Too bad they didn't offer dental work. Spent the evening sobbing and being held. Thanks for the trauma. Will bring it to my therapist next time we meet. (three stars were for getting the tooth out, I suppose, which needed to happen, but holy crap is this going to take time to process)

Finally, Monday came and the receptionist Isabella was able to squeeze me in that same day. Dr. Skoly and his staff were so attentive, polite and extremely helpful. I am eternally grateful for Dr. Skoly and his staff. It's been 1 day since they removed my wisdom tooth and I feel a BIG difference. I'm now able to talk, eat, basically open my mouth without it causing me pain. I will be recommending everyone I know to this practice. -My health insurance didn't cover this so I paid $325 out of pocket -I needed a referral to see Dr. Skoly so I was quickly able to obtain that from my dentist and the receptionist Isabella at Dr Skoly's office was able to squeeze me in a couple hours after I got the referral.

Now, for the main event: I had three infected wisdom teeth lodged in my sinus cavity, and he extracted them with ease and in less than 1/2 an hour. Just amazing.

Everyone is awesome and oral surgery ends up being kind of fun somehow (I'm not kidding). Oral surgery is no joke and you need to choose wisely. I would recommend Gilardetti to everyone.

From the consultation to the actual procedure, the doctor and nurses clearly explained what to…read moreexpect for my 18 year old son's wisdom teeth removal. They were thorough and took x-rays ahead of time, clearly explained the images to us, and educated us about how his roots were not very long, but that if we waited, they could potentially grow longer, and the teeth would be harder to extract. On the day of the procedure, they gave my son anesthesia before numbing his gums with Novacaine which made the procedure nearly painless. They completed the procedure in about a half hour at the most. They kept my son sitting upright in a chair in the recovery room for another half hour before the anesthesia finally wore off and he was able to walk out of there. They made sure that they supplied us with gauze pads, a syringe, clear discharge instructions, etc. Pro tip: check your insurance plan to see how much you have left of your deductible before scheduling your appointment. My son had a few fillings earlier in the year which used up a good portion of his deductible. If you schedule your dental procedures in different calendar years, you will pay less.

Everything went well, and my mother is recovering well and back to her normal self. Dr Brown personality is incredible. He's exactly the type of surgeon you'd want treating your mother. Nice, talkative, knowledgeable and cares for not only his craft but his patients. I wouldn't hesitate considering University Oral and Max again or Dr Brown. You're in great hands here!
