Five-Star Experience at Riverside Oral Surgery On my first…read morevisit, I was nervous because I didn't know what to expect. I'd originally been told by my dentist that I had a canker sore, but Dr. Brown identified it correctly as a cyst. She explained everything thoroughly during my consultation, which helped put me at ease. The patient registration process was detailed, especially regarding medications--something I really appreciated since I have certain allergies. That level of care meant so much to me. On surgery day, once I was numbed up, I was good to go--LOL! Dr. Brown kept checking on me throughout the procedure. I felt completely safe and cared for, and her assistant was equally attentive. The follow-up was excellent, too. I received a call today asking how I was feeling. I mentioned the soreness, which was expected, and that I'd be sleeping in the recliner for a few days, skipping my CPAP for a bit. I have the highest regard for Dr. Akeyla Brown and her entire staff. They are professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. It was an incredibly positive experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend Riverside Oral Surgery to anyone in need of expert oral care.

My daughter had her four wisdom teeth out this week. In an age where oral health providers take…read moreevery possible precaution to make procedures smooth and pain-free, Dr. Doner's attitude was cavalier to the point of cruelty. My daughter actually woke up during the procedure, was thrashing, kicking and crying (her eyes were bloodshot red) but they did nothing to sedate her, give her a break, ask her what they could do. Just another Novocaine shot for "the pressure". She even overheard them talking about her being a bad patient. When I complained afterwards he spoke of her suffering as what happens to "the patient," even though she was sitting right there next to us.

I've gone back and forth a lot whether to write a review of this doctor. But as he is close…read moreto/past retirement age I believe I have to if only to spare other people what I was put through here, and this is the most anonymous way for me to do so. Besides this he already has lackluster reviews on Health Grades, and I think I have grounds to file a malpractice complaint but will not do so. Essentially, he is very old school. He is UPenn grad and clearly knows what he is doing, but his "bedside manor" or lack thereof leaves a lot to be desired. And especially when it came to explaining the anesthetic he would use. Terms like "in this day and age", "conscious sedation" "quicker down time" were thrown around. I am not sure if I was even given the choice of full anesthesia, but regardless I was at least pointed strongly in the direction he went for. And as you might imagine by now, "twilight" was definitely not the adjective to describe my experience. I felt nearly everything, could hear him communicating with the nurse and more or less everything else. But I was incapable of saying anything or even signalling for help. It hadn't even occurred to me until much later that I could have moved my feet as I was certainly sedated- but obviously not enough. EVEN AFTER THIS I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, and that this was only because he was/is old school and yes, the recovery was quicker than average. I went back a week later to get me sutures removed, and after some friendly small talk he left to have an assistant/nurse explain the syringe provided to me for food stuck in potential gaps. Their explanation boiled down to "if you get food stuck, use this." Not a word on how much water pressure to use or how to angle it in my mouth, but at the time I didn't think I needed such information. Fast forward two days and a piece of bread is stuck in a gap. I use the syringe as I was (minimally) instructed to do so. I use a little too much pressure and blood comes out. The next day my saliva tastes funny and it's clear this was infected. I leave a message with the doctor and he calls back in a few hours. Nobody told him about what I said in the message, but not too surprised there. He is very helpful with this issue, but the next day something ELSE gets stuck in there, and by that point when I call him back I am just a burden to him as he is getting no additional payment. I ask his advice to see a doctor near me as I have left for school. He insists I drive back and see him. But of course he can't schedule me the next day as he'll be in the city all day for surgery. After pleading my case long enough and emphasizing that even he said the issue was fairly mild, he is generous enough to name a practice near me that MAY take me. After this point though, enough is enough and I Google a practice near me that was actually extremely helpful and actually took the time to explain my post-op care. What it comes down to is that he is still in the pre-Internet mindset that patients are essentially stuck with crappy care and can't find other providers that meet their needs, or even post a review like this.And for someone who likely makes a generous living off of wisdom teeth surgeries, a little generational sensitivity and better communication could go a long way.

I've always been a very nervous dental patient but Dr. Brunetti never makes me feel uncomfortable. She has not only maintained my cleanings but also has performed gum grafting and even extracted teeth that were so difficult to extract. I also plan on getting one or two implants in the very near future. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Brunetti. She makes you feel so comfortable and her work ethic is impeccable. I always make her laugh by telling her I wish she could just take care of every single dental need for me. If I could give Dr. Brunetti more than five stars I would.
