Got my upper wisdom teeth out 2 weeks ago and the whole process has been great! I was really…read moreanxious going in but all of these other reviews made me feel better going into the appointment and the team was great! They even sprayed my arm with a cooling agent so I couldn't really feel them administering the IV for my sedation if you're concerned about that part at all. Can't remember the actual removal process either and overall the pain wasn't actually that bad (maybe like 5/10) I just kept to the pain med schedule they recommended for the first 3 days post op and then switched to tylenol and still used the strong ibuprofen. Just follow the instructions they give you and you should be golden. Honestly the worst thing has been not being able to eat like a normal person... I miss chips! They also have an emergency line you can call after hours (I didn't have to use but good to know I could call). Absolutely would recommend this office and I'm definitely coming back if I need any other dental work here. Can y'all fill my cavities too?!

My first experience with this place was with Dr Najy K Zarroug, and from the start it was off. Last time I had any dental work done was done by my regular dentist (he's since moved to San Antonio) and he did it all in-house. The cleaning, root canal, cavity, tooth extraction and crown. This time around, my current main dentist cleaned my teeth and sent me to a root canal doc who also prepared a crown, then I went back to my regular dentist to put on the crown, I then sent to an oral surgeon who charged for a pretreatment meeting followed by the day he took two teeth out. Badly. Upfront I let them know I'm terrified by the dentist. The root canal doc prior to seeing him and my former dentist all have enough shots that I stay pain free but from the start Dr. Zarroug wasn't having it. He kept going repeatedly without providing more pain relief, my demeanor in the chair (scared and begging) was upsetting him at one point angerly saying 'I should have had you put to sleep for this!' Which didn't help calm me down. He eventually gave me a few more shots but there wasn't much at that point left. We left and about two hours later I was out of the gauze he'd sent me home with in case of bleeding from the wound. At this point the bottom part of my jaw was literally just full of blood and literally overflowing onto my face. Driving back in the car the smell of raw fresh blood was thick in the air. I got back and pretty hysterically demanded help from anyone but him, I was forced to deal with him again as he was the only doctor there, and he gave some excuse about only using 1 stitch to hold the spot where two back teeth had been in order to get me out of the chair faster as I was clearly upset. He sort of apologized while blaming me for my attitude and for general squirming. He eventually, with the help of another employee, gave me more pain management shots and sewed in 4 more stitches and I left, swearing never to return. I swore I'd do the two teeth left on the other side somewhere else but my main dentist shared that a member of his family had a horrible experience with Dr Zarroug and asked me to use the other surgeon there whom his family member liked Dr Andrea Quarroni. I gave in as I was in a place where I had to do something because the situation had gotten so bad so I went back. The new doctor was super kind and gentle and we set it up. I told him about my poor experience prior focusing on the bleeding and my fear of dentists. I trusted him very much We decided to knock me out which was the right choice and I still stand by that, but afterwards I was back at home it began again. Less than 2 hours later my mouth was full. It seems the doctor that day did one thread into 3 stitches (I don't get it either) but again two hours later when I was told it would have bleeding it's again pouring blood and I'm now on the phone with the after hours regarding my bleeding which won't stop trying all the tricks he suggested (tea bags on the wound, doubling my gauze and keeping it on for 30 mins and repeating that for 30 more mins after) He offered to see me tonight in his office 30 mins away sharing he'd had other incidents involving this clinic prior. I'm going to try to keep gauze on it (it becomes saturated within 15 mins) and return to another dentist tomorrow. While Dr Quaroni was much kinder and such I feel he dropped the ball with my stitches. He was told of my bleeding issues and still there's another bleeding issue. This place is VERY pay us now, hardcore when it comes to getting paid so I'd expect the pre-paid services to be quality, maybe it's because they know if they billed people they'd never get paid. On that same topic of them wanting to be paid so badly but who pays for my pain and suffering as blood runs literally from my mouth 12 hours later, are they gonna pay for my gas if I have to drive 30 minutes in the middle of the night... Avoid this place especially the location on 38th at all costs! Between my two trips there, and now the stories from my own dentist and the on call dentist it seems like you'll be avoiding a regrettable decision!

A Warning to all who would use Austin Oral Surgery In…read moreOctober 2023, I underwent a skin graft procedure from the roof of my mouth to the lower left gum with Dr. Travis W. Kern, DDS, MD at Austin Oral Surgery in Austin, TX, in preparation for two dental implants. I was 76 years old at the time. The procedure lasted more than twice as long as planned (3 hours under general anesthesia in his office, without an anesthesiologist or standard Deep Vein Thombosis prevention protocols like compression wraps). Nine days later, I developed severe swelling in my right leg. I was diagnosed with three blood clots (DVT) -- above, below, and behind the knee. I was hospitalized, put on blood thinners, and referred to a hematologist and vascular surgeon. All other risk factors were ruled out. My hematologist concluded the clots were a direct result of the surgery. I now (20 months later) live with permanent vein damage (Post Thrombotic Syndrome). My mobility is severely limited and my quality of life has deteriorated. When I obtained the surgical report from Dr. Kern 5 months later, I was shocked to find that it described the procedure as "uneventful." He made no mention of the extended time, complications, or excessive bleeding that he admitted to me during a follow-up visit -- with his nurse present. In my opinion, this omission was deliberate and does not meet the standards of care patients deserve. I filed a formal complaint with the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners. After nearly a year-long investigation, the Board required Dr. Kern to take continuing education courses in Risk Management, Sedation of Medically Compromised Patients, and Record Keeping -- but imposed no public disciplinary action. He continues to practice without a public record of this case. I am sharing my story to help others make informed decisions. This was my personal experience and reflects my sincere opinion based on medical records and interactions with multiple physicians.

We cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kern and everyone at AUSTIN Oral surgery. My son was…read moreextremely anxious about having an IV for the first time . Dr. Kern gave him an anxiety prescription and use lidocaine spray to numb his arm. I was shocked at how calm and unbothered my son was. He had all four wisdom teeth removed without any problem. Dr. Kern has a calming presence anyway & he made my son feel at ease. They also did a great job of keeping me apprised of how everything was going, while I was in the waiting room. The entire procedure lasted less than an hour Everyone in the recovery area was extremely kind and helpful. My son doesn't even remember anything from getting the IV thru the car ride home. Dr. Kern even called to check on him and make sure he was recovering well the next day. The post-procedure prescriptions they used seem to do great for managing his pain, as well. Overall, I just can't recommend Dr. Kern and the good folks at Austin Oral Surgery enough! We will definitely be using them again when my daughter has hers removed, as well as any future oral surgery needs.

Who?!?!? I've known about Dr. Hassell and I've lived in Pflugerville for 20 years, but I had never heard of Dr. Verrett. But.. as I said... horrible tooth pain. He could have been Dr. Death for all I cared. So, I get all comfy in the chair and in walks Dr. Verrett. You know in the Christmas cartoon Rudolph where people keep telling the elf "You can't be a DENTIST, you're supposed to be an elf!" ? Well, when he walked in I felt like saying, "You can't be a DENTIST, you're supposed to be a male model on some huge billboard over Times Square!" He looks like some kind of movie star fresh out of college and I'm thinking... oh, he can't hurt me.. he's so sweet and handsome. WRONG! But, it wasn't his fault. I had a roaring infection that just wasn't going to settle down until he got in there and cleaned it out. So, 2 and a half hours with Dr Hot. He dug. Drilled. Dug. Drilled. And so on, until he was absolutely sure it was all out. He took 3 ex rays. I could tell by his interaction with the staff that he's relatively new at the office (Hey, I'm a licensed private investigator, I get paid to notice stuff like that :-) but he wasn't taking any crap off of anyone, that's for sure. He may be the new guy in town, but he knows his stuff. The staff has been there forever and you can tell... they have that easy family type way of dealing with each other but not quite as easy with Dr. Verrett. They were polite to him but it was clear they have their way of doing things and so they were quite forthcoming with suggestions... some he took and some he didn't... good for you, Dr. Billboard. Anyway, it was painful and stressful but I woke up this morning with no pain for the first time in 6 weeks. He's an Angel of Mercy. I'll be back.

I was in a period in my life where I did not have dental insurance so I was a cash pay patient. When I went in the last time, they insisted that I have x-rays and that if I didn't, they were not "running the business as they were taught ". So as it turns out, Dr. Peters wouldn't even clean my teeth! She talked to me like I was an errant child who was misbehaving. I have never experienced anything like this in my life. I reached out to the owner of the practice and she called me back and apologized for how things happened and even offered to do the x-rays for free. Although I greatly appreciate that, I have no desire to go back and have to see Dr. Peter's. So I advise if you go to this practice make sure you have health insurance or unlimited money because people who don't are not really welcome.

Dr. Williamson operates a very smooth-running practice. Every staff interaction I had (front desk, nurses, techs) was excellent and you can tell there's just good teamwork going on here. I made a special request for my surgical operation and was super grateful that Dr. Williamson was willing to accommodate it. He and Sarah had excellent bedside manner during my operation - it went quick and painless. The recovery was (somewhat predictably) miserable for the first week. I had a few questions about the discomfort I was experiencing and was so appreciative of the staff that went out of their way to proactively check in on me and get answers. They even reached out to Dr. Williamson about one issue on his day off which they didn't have to do. Just had my post-op today follow-up today, a couple weeks later, and everything is in great shape. Despite the challenges in recovery so grateful to have this out of the way and gums that are good to go (as Dr. Williamson put it) for life! Though the office will still bill insurance for you, I could have saved some money working with an in-network provider. However, I think this operation in particular benefits from Dr. Williamson's wealth of experience - my understanding is there's a lot of nuances in sourcing and shaping graft tissue. Some things are worth spending on!

Why does the thought of a root canal feel like facing a firing squad? I arrived at Austin Center…read morefor Endodontics (ACE) with all the confidence of a flea. Sure, the endodontist had performed thousands of these procedures, but what if this was the one time something went wrong? What if they somehow snipped a nerve? They always say there's nothing to worry about, but isn't that exactly what people say right before disaster strikes and the train jumps off the tracks? Maybe it was just my pre-op jitters... The office staff made the check-in process easy from the start, sending my paperwork electronically so I could complete everything before my visit. When I arrived, Dr. Amin introduced himself and walked me through the procedure. For anyone fortunate enough to be unfamiliar with root canals, the treatment involves removing infected pulp from inside the tooth and filling the space with a rubber-like material to preserve the tooth. Then came the anesthetic injection with a metal syringe (didn't even know doctors were still were using these). Thankfully, they first applied a numbing gel before administering the shots. To be honest, it initially felt more like a swarm of mosquitoes staging a full-on attack on my mouth. Fortunately, within minutes everything was completely numb. The procedure itself was surprisingly smooth and uneventful. No unexpected complications, no nerves damaged, and no dramatic stories to tell. Afterward, however, half my face remained numb. When I tried to speak, the result sounded like someone attempting to communicate through a mouthful of marshmallows. Later in the evening, the numbness wore off and the discomfort arrived like an uninvited houseguest who somehow knew the "secret" location of your spare key. Fortunately, I was armed with pain medication, which provided almost immediate relief. The bottom line? I survived. The procedure was far less intimidating than I had imagined, and I'm looking forward to enjoying a pain-free mouth once everything has fully healed.
