A friend told me that there is a whole chapter of Moby Dick dedicated to describing how white the…read morewhale is. Apparently, he's right - chapter 42. I bring this up because I'm the type that will take something small and write a chapter's worth of text detailing it. While not 100% perfect, all things considered, I had an excellent experience with Dr. Gu and the office at Oral Surgery South. While I'm sure having wisdom teeth out is fairly routine for the office, for me, the word "surgery" is rather anxiety-inducing. Since I had five of the buggers, including one horizontal, it wasn't as simple as having your regular dentist grab the Novocain and a pair of pliers. A man can dream. In my initial consultation, a panoramic x-ray was taken, I was then shown a video about wisdom teeth extraction which covered the procedure and some FAQs. After the video, Dr. Gu and a couple nurses/medical assistants came in to review the x-rays and answer any questions. I sit here now saying that all my questions were answered, and,\ Dr. Gu stood by his medical opinions (I've had Dr.'s lead with "What do you want to do"). The anxiety made it feel a little rushed, but again, no question went unanswered. Finally, I was given instructions to prepare for surgery and got a text from my pharmacy that the medication was ready before I left the office. The surgery itself was thankfully uneventful. I don't remember a thing! I think the anesthesia given makes you forget everything, but you're technically still awake. The doctor apparently stopped in post-op, but I still under and didn't remember. Would have been nice if he also stopped when I had come to - but I realize this would be more for my psychological comfort than for medical need. For the post-op experience, I felt a little ill-prepared. On the flip side, the office was been beyond wonderful and patient with my calls and answering any post-op questions or concerns. No waiting half a day for a callback, but answers in a minute or so. First, loss of taste. I knew Novocain made you completely numb, but a loss of taste was rather scary. All it took was a call, I got to speak with Dr. Gu himself, and I was assured this was to be fully expected. Second, A medication which **might** be needed post-op wasn't sent to the pharmacy the day of the surgery as I was told in the consultation. Thankfully I didn't end up needing it at all, and I'm sure all it would have taken was a call to the office. Still - if it is standard practice and I had needed it late that night, it would have been nice knowing when to expect it. Then there were jelly clots. These are exactly as 'delightful' as they sound, and I won't go into detail in case some of you all are queasy. During the consultation, I would have liked to know these are a possibility and how to prevent or combat them. Still, I have to give the office massive props. When I called with this problem, not knowing what it was, and thinking my gums had swollen over my teeth, they got me in that morning. Dr. Gu took a look to make sure everything was okay and answered a couple other small concerns I had. He did offer me to come in a couple weeks to laser off extra/slightly swollen gum tissue, but this ended up going away on its own, and no lasering was needed. About a month after the surgery, I found I was no longer thinking about the missing teeth. Everything had more or less returned to normal. While the bone grows in, a tiny bit of food seems to have a tendency to pause in the empty space, but this is minor and increasingly rare.

I was overjoyed to find that masks are still required in the waiting room for this practice AND they were running a HEPA filter. Great to be less likely risking my life for a check up. The staff were wonderful & Dr. Elkadry was very kind/understanding about the delay since my last cleaning. I also have a 1 month old baby so the doctor talked with me about pregnancy and breast feeding hormones and what they do to teeth. I would highly recommend this practice for dental care. The only drawback is that you have to call to make an appointment - no online option.

Today I have a smile I can be proud of all thanks to Dr Elkadry. I call him the Crown King because of the extensive work they have done with crowns and root canals. Unlike most dentists, where you have to have a temporary crown for a couple of weeks while they send the molds out to be processed. Here they do the crowns in house! You wait for about an hour and your crown is ready, the same day! I will never go anywhere else to have my teeth worked on!

Every dentist I called was too busy, or wasn't accepting new patients. I was very hesitant on coming here, but they were the only ones who could see me right away. These people are super super nice.

But the staff at gentle dental are very professional and always make me feel welcome when I walked in. The problem with YELP is people don't get their way, and feel they're getting ripped off so they need to piss and moan and then write a TERRIBLE review to make themselves feel better. It's total cucka If you need a dentist, please give them a shot. They are actually pretty fantastic.

Until a horribly cracked tooth forced my hand earlier this week, there was nothing in this world that could have dragged me to one. That said, like all matters in my life I turned to the people I trust and respect in times of necessity. For the past two years I have been lucky enough to have DR. Katarina Pavlicic as a client of mine and felt comfortable seeking her advice as the pain mounted and the need for treatment became unavoidable. Surprisingly, on her vacation, she took my call and was kind enough to listen while I whined on and on. She gave me many suggestion and solutions on dealing with the pain with the bottom line being that I could see one of her recommended colleagues, or wait and see her in two days. I chose the latter and have been thrilled I did so. From the moment I arrived and was greeted by Rene at check- in, to the dental assistant Ellen's amazing way of being comforting and funny I was put much more at ease than I expected. I relaxed and put my trust in Katarina. Before I knew it, I was walking out the door. It was not painless, but it was nothing like I had feared and I will definitely be back for continuing treatments. (NOT RUNNING BACK, BUT WILL BE GOING) I thank her and her team for everything, Chris (I apologize if I got any of her teams names wrong)

Please don't be fooled by the number of 5 star reviews like I was…read more I was really excited to contact this office after seeing the Invisalign promotion and reading so many positive reviews, but unfortunately my experience did not match the expectations. When I first called, I was offered a virtual consultation the following day, which I completed thinking I would be able to schedule an in-office visit shortly after. However, I was told the next available appointment was about a month away. Although that was frustrating, I still scheduled it. Later, my sister received a follow-up text from the office about confirming an appointment. She also had reached out to inquire about Invisalign. But By that time they finally replied to her, she had already decided to move forward with another dental office, so she asked if I could take that available slot instead. The office replied saying that would be fine. However, when I was about five minutes away from the office, the receptionist, Hannah, called and said there had been some confusion and that I should keep my original appointment. That was extremely frustrating because I had already rearranged my schedule and was on my way. It didn't make sense that I was told I could come in if I ultimately couldn't be seen to conduct the appointment in its entirety. When I eventually had my appointment, the doctor and the back-of-house staff were very kind and professional. The visit itself was going well, and I told the doctor I wanted to move forward with Invisalign. I was then told it would take about four weeks for the trays to come in. I've had Invisalign before and know it often takes closer to two weeks, but I was still willing to proceed. The biggest issue came when discussing payment. I was given four payment options, and I asked if I could use my dental insurance and pay the remaining balance with my CareCredit card. I was told that wasn't possible. They mentioned they asked the doctor and apologized, but the answer remained no. I've never experienced a dental office being so restrictive about how a patient chooses to pay. It also makes the promotion offered very misleading considering that's not what's advertised. Overall, while the doctor and clinical staff were pleasant, the confusing scheduling, poor communication, and inflexible payment policies made the entire experience frustrating and ultimately felt like a waste of time. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this office.
