First of all, I could not have possible had a better experience. From the initial consult and x-ray, to the post-surgery check-up, I have never met such friendly, welcoming staff and never had such a positive experience in a doctor's office.
Dr. Zain Manji is incredible. My wisdoms came in funny, with my bottom tooth impacted and sitting on a nerve, but in the consult Dr. Manji explained everything clearly and in a way that reassured us from the start.
The entire office staff was incredible from pre-op check-in to post-op check-up. When I called to book my surgery I was able to get an appointment within two days, which was fantastic. The day of my surgery, the nurses as well as Dr. Manji went through each step of the surgery with me which kept me calm and in-the-loop, and the nurses even made accommodations like changing the volume of the radio in the room because I said that I liked music. They never stopped talking to me, checking in with me, and making me laugh. By the time my surgery started I wasn't even nervous.
The actual surgery lasted less than 15 minutes. If you're hesitating, scared, or if you're suffering from headaches like I was because you're worried about the pain - stop putting it off, and do it. Trust me. I know that everyone heals differently, but I was eating the same night as my surgery (which you're not supposed to do but I was starving), and I went shopping the very next day. The pain is totally bearable - my surgery was on the Friday morning and I went to work on the Monday - and I didn't bruise hardly at all. Swelling was minimal, and after wiping a little witch hazel from Shoppers Drug Mart on a cotton pad, on my face, the swelling and pain in my jaw was gone. I'm telling you - get some sleep, follow the instructions they give you after the surgery, and trust in Dr. Manji and his team. They're the best, I 100% recommend! read more
