Sean and Lindsay were very kind and capable, doing all they could to ease my fears and minimize my discomfort. They did their jobs and it was over in no time! You know what? I worried for mostly nothing. Here it is a few hours later and I am at home, using up gauze like crazy...but happy. It was a good decision. I hope I never have to go through it again! But if I do-- I would come back here again, trust them again, and NOT WASTE A NIGHT'S SLEEP BEFOREHAND. I am self-professed that I am the biggest (and oldest!) BABY IN THE WORLD!

And was down for at least a month if not longer from the repercussions of all that. I have had tmj and headaches since. we actually have quite a few older very mean Drs. in town and it surprises me how they can continue to keep working. More options here would be nice.

Everyone I interacted with there was amazing. Dr even called me a few hours after I got home to check on how I was doing, told me it was his cell and to call him over the holiday weekend if I have any issues because he wants to make sure I'm not stranded in pain over the long weekend. You guys, I nearly cried. Who does that these days? A diamond in the rough, that's who. I will eventually be going back to get a bone graft and an implant. I have a family member who had a bunch of teeth knocked out by a baseball when they were coaching little league, they have a ton of anxiety about even having an examination. I think I found just the place to send them to, so they will be in great hands.

Everything from customer experience to patient support and care was handled properly and with extreme respect. I had a great experience. **Read the guidelines BEFORE your appointment.** shastaoralsurgery.com/procedures/anesthesia/ My appointment was from 10:43 am -12:23 pm (1h, and 40 minutes) and that includes: checking in, xR, consultation, surgeries, recovery time, and checking out) * Referral was from Riverbend Family Dental Care. ------------------ If you are hesitant, this information and details for people with traumatic experiences from dental visits. Also, I talk about my dentist office that referred me here. 1) Visits to a dentist office is not the most fun thing to do, let alone going to an oral surgeon clinic. 2) I had trauma physically, emotionally and psychologically from previous experiences from dental visits. 3) I stoped going to the dentist office 10 years or more ago. I tried once or twice and I ran out of the clinics door I visited because they would not listen nor honor what I shared with me. Unfortunately, at the beginning of this year one of my molars broke. I did not say anything. Next thing I know, my wisdom teeth are coming out and I am in excruciating pain. They are impacting the rest of my teeth alignment. We live in Humboldt County, and there is 0 clinics and 0 oral surgeons that are accepting applications for new patients. My husband started to look in Redding and found dentists that are within our insurance network taking new patients so he was super happy to get us in. I did not say a word to him about my feelings or fears. We arrived to our dentist office and things started to come back to me. I was in a very bad shape. My dentist office team were trained for situations like that, they comforted me and handle the situation in such a professional and caring way. They listen to my issues and took all notes they needed to share with the entire office. Everyone was aware of what's going on. My hygienist appointments were so peaceful, my fillings were stressful a bit but I was not vaulted by the doctor at any point. Dr. Holmes would stop and make sure I was ready for next steps, and constantly asked if I was ready. Riverbend clinic made my transition to Dr. William Evens so easy and comfortable. Now my experience at Dr. William Evans clinic: when we arrived we filled the needed documents. Then I was asked to go for a 360 xR imaging. Here where I started to feel comfortable. The assistant, he was absolutely amazing, professional and very respectful. He talked to me, asked all proper questions and took notes of everything. Went over everything in simple detail to understand and introduce the procedure with so much less graphic detail and more comfortable information about what I might go through. Then he introduced Dr. Evans. Now, all surgeons has this intimidating look or presence to them, it's just who they are due to their line of work. When Dr. William Evans walked in I was about to book it out of the clinic, no joke. He greeted us and immediately started to speak to the assistant and he read my dentist office notes. Right in front of me. This was so relieving. Then he started to ask me questions to know more and that's when I started to feel less anxious and more comfortable. He literally explained what he would do in a simple, carful way, and he asked me multiple times if that's what I wanted to do and if I was comfortable with it. Finally, your experiences might be different from mine. But finding a good dentist office is not an easy process. When you do, or if you already have one be honest about your past dental experiences, follow instructions, and make sure you build a trust bond with your doctors. Make sure you let them know what you want. I wish all patients a good luck and good experience. Dealing with trauma is not easy but with good people and good care is possible.

I have been seeing Dr. Rooney for more than a year now and while there's always that fear-devil whispering in my ear in the background, I do not have the somatic or psychological reactions to going to the dentist as I have in the past. The Dr. and all his staff are so kind and patient, they take their time explaining to me what's going on and answering questions. They seem to genuinely care. Because of my dental anxiety and upbringing of not going to the dentist, I have terrible teeth. Dentists in the past have made me feel ashamed of myself. That shame paired with the ordeal of root canals, etc. is likely the genesis of my anxiety. Dr. Rooney and his staff are amazing people and skilled providers.
