I had 2 impacted wisdom teeth that have been trying to come in for 10 years. My dentist kept…read morereferring me to get them out but I was terrified and so I kept putting it off. Eventually, I decided it was better to get it over with than continue having issues every few months. I called to set up an appointment with Dr. Mauro (I found him through my insurance) and the lady who answered the phone seemed nice enough. I though it was weird that she wanted to schedule me for my consultation and surgery back to back but I went with it. She had an opening that same week and a couple more in the following weeks. I was still nervous so I put it off about 2 weeks. FF Day of appointment, I get there and realize they have a dog in the office which threw me completely off. The front desk staff seemed pretty nice and got me all set up with papers. I asked if they had gotten any records from my dentist and they said no... I thought that was weird but I don't know if it's even necessary. I was called back to do my panoramic x-Ray and was immediately whisked away into a room to be prepared for surgery. Now, I had done my research on Dr. Mauro and knew that he had been called "rude" and "abrasive" so I was prepared to kind of proceed with caution. I was really nervous and I know I can get on Drs nerves with all of my questions. He came into the room to go over the x-Ray and explained that I only had 2 wisdoms on the bottom (I knew that and thank goodness) and that they were bone impacted (did not know that). I asked how long he thought It would take to get them out and he said 20min total but that he would have to drill some bone. He also explained that one was sitting right on a nerve and my chance for nerve damage was 15%. I told him I wanted lidocaine only but that I get nervous with it (makes my heart race) and he offered something called carbocain which is apparently lidocaine without the epinephrine. I declined (didn't want to try something new on such a scary day). He put me in the next room and put some numbing gel on my gums and gave me the lidocaine shots - kind of abrasively. My dentist is very gentle with this part so that was a little scary for me. I asked to listen to headphones, he said of course. He went right in and did his thing and had both teeth out in under 10 minutes. It was SO easy and pain free. By the time the lidocaine started wearing off, I could feel a stitch poking me and so when the office called to check on me, I told her and she had me come back up there so they could fix it. No problem. In conclusion, I will say that he isn't the most gentle, sympathetic, or personable guy, but he did a damn good job. He did tell me as he was finishing up that I don't have any sockets, he's stitching them up so I wouldn't have to worry about dry socket... I looked it up and it says you could still get dry sockets with stitches so I don't know... I had this procedure done about 19 hours ago and am ok. Ice on 20 min, Ice off 20 min. I'm only taking regular Tylenol for pain (my choice). I'm also taking amoxicillin to prevent infection (normally I wouldn't but again, get have a dog in the office)... So far so good but the procedure itself was a breeze!!

I Highly Recommend Joseph V Mauro, DDS for any & ALL Your…read moreOral Surgery Needs. This Recommendation is coming from someone who gets anxious from going to any & every dentist. Dr. Mauro, & his Dedicated, Knowledgeable, Friendly Crew, did a FANtastic job in every aspect of their Profession. Answering my questions & putting my mind at ease was just the beginning. I was Surprised that I was virtually pain FREE after each procedure. My first procedure was a Tooth Extraction, with minimal pain afterwards. My second procedure was removing a piece of an old Wisdom Tooth & I was pain FREE afterwards. I was moderately sedated, & the entire procedure was done & over before I knew it!! Thank You Doctor Mauro & Kind Crew!! Infinite LOVE & Infinite Gratitude. With Love & Respect, PamELa PurcELL-Purdy

Dr grimm has zero bedside manners. I came into the office today for extreme cavity pains. Dr grimm…read morewas disrespectful for every question or statement I was making about my own health. He failed to prescribe antibiotics and came out as I was walking out to try to fix it. He treated me as if I know nothing about my own teeth. Dr grimm stated, " I will go home to my kids tonight and not worry or care about any of this." How could a dentist with 30 years of experience treat their patients with such disrespect and not care about the impression he makes on them and their health. I'd like to add that his office was disorganized and filthy. As well as his hands had visable dirt under his fingernails and on his skin. When I simply stated that he has bad bedside manners he refused to treat me and fix my cavities.

Miss Alicia was awesome at making us feel comfortable and she focused on providing excellent dental hygiene care for both my children (age 8 and 11). Dr. Peiffer comes with 17 years of experience which was another source of confidence that I was in great hands and had chosen the right dentist office for my family!
