No pain (not even the novocaine needle being inserted), Dr Plaisted has a nice soothing voice (she should do meditation CDs), and tells you what she's doing every step of the way. Everyone on the staff is wonderful, pleasant, professional, friendly. I have been recommending Dr Plaisted to everyone, even total strangers!

This is an incredible practice and I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Doriot…read more I am tremendously afraid of the dentist and didn't have my wisdom teeth removed as a teenager because they weren't causing me pain. When a tooth recently cracked, and I wanted to get a crown on it, I needed to have an impacted wisdom tooth removed so the crown could sit properly. Not surprisingly, my dental anxiety showed up immediately and in full force the moment I found out I was going to have to have not one, but three wisdom teeth removed. And this was after having a preventative root canal performed on the tooth that needed a crown. So a root canal, then the removal of three wisdom teeth, and then crown - proof that all bad things come in threes! Or. So. I. Thought. I went into my appointment today at 8 am and by 8:20 am the procedure had begun and by 9:30 it was finished. The person who recommended Dr. Doriot to me had all four of his wisdom teeth removed by him as well and said he never felt any pain during the recovery period. I thought this was perhaps a small exaggeration, after all, how can they rip teeth out of your head and have it be painless...especially after the drugs wear off. But, surprisingly, this was exactly my experience as well. I am writing this review about 12 hours after the procedure and I feel such indescribable relief due to having the procedure completed and being in no pain at any point in the process. The cherry on top of this perfect dental experience? Dr. Doriot called me on my cell phone a few minutes ago to ask me how I was feeling and to answer any questions I had about future dental care (of which I had many). I thanked him for the kind gesture and he said that he "can't sleep until he knows his patients are doing well." It is so readily apparent how much Dr. Doriot cares about both his patients and the quality of his work. In a world shifting to tele-health and requiring that doctors track their time in the way that lawyers handle their billable hours, Dr. Doriot is a refreshing throwback to a bygone age when the primary concern of medical practitioners was more about the patient experience rather than the vice grip placed on them by complying with the never-ending requirements placed on them by most insurance companies today. TL;DR: Had three wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Doriot 12 hours ago. I am a big baby, at no point was in any pain at all (fingers crossed) and Dr. Doriot called me personally to check in and answer any and all questions I have. You won't find a better oral surgery experience than the one offered by this practice.

The email I just sent to the office after multiple issues:…read more I don't usually email regarding this sort of thing, but I have to say I'm extremely disappointed. I've seen Dr.  Bayoumy as a patient a few times now and he's been phenomenal. So when my son needed a specialist to check his wisdom teeth I didn't even hesitate at requesting a referral for Dr. B for him as well.  Unfortunately, with my own appointments and now my son's, the office staff has dropped the ball too many times. Focusing only on the current issue with my son; not only did his dentist have to send the referral twice to even get them to schedule the appointment in the first place, the day after confirming his appointment (almost a month after making the appt) I received a follow up confirmation text for a completely different appointment time. When I called to ask why I was getting a confirmation text for a different time, I was told "I don't know, do you want the new appointment, or no?" completely dismissing my inquiry as to why nobody called me to request or confirm the reschedule. As to not further delay him getting checked, I agreed.  Less than 24 hours later, at 7:30am the day of the appointment, I received a text asking if I had a copy of the referral. I explained that I did not, because it was sent directly before they would even let me schedule the appointment in the first place. I was then told they didn't have it and would "try to get it" before his appointment that I've now had to take a whole day off of work for. I'd had this happen at my original appointment which delayed my appointment by almost a week so I told them to cancel the appointment.  I've been a medical receptionist for 3 years. This is not only inconsiderate, but honestly just flat out poor patient care. Again, Dr. Bayoumy is amazing, which is why I've tolerated the consistent incompetence by office staff in regards to insurance, scheduling, and communication, but I'm afraid we will be seeking care elsewhere.  I'm sure losing one or two patients won't hurt you guys (not my intention), but as previously stated, as someone who works in healthcare, it's careless and just disappointing.

SELF-serving flip flopping of network participation Possibly targeting some patients? Ask questions (record) because once they extract those easy hundreds from your insurance for the 15 minute consult and panoramic/X-rays, you are STUCK! You will lose HUNDREDS when you want to change oral surgeons after you find out they suddenly demand the " highest" cash deposit .. or find out the office just made the network policy "change" to exclusively make things difficult for YOU! The delay waiting for the apt. and benefit grab of hundreds for that first appointment, makes it harder to switch to a better office like Cap District Oral Surgeons. BEFORE a CONSULT, and before you walk through that door, require they contact insurance for a prior auth and obtain a COPY. Actively involve insurance! DONT BE THE DESPERATE FOOL they profit from! Their shadiness cost pain, delay of care, and loss of 2k worth of an annual dental insurance benefit. After rep verified procedure was covered in full by insurance with no deductible, the manager changed it up to require a cash down payment for the surgery now stating the "surgery" was billed differently allowing them to demand cash also!!! All of it should have been with our insurance - with no deductible! How in the world can the X-rays and expensive 15 minute consult be in network and covered at 100 %, but the extractions also covered at 100% demand a huge CASH down payment at the highest estimated cost!

He is unfailingly calm, and very good at clearly explaining his plans. He is an efficient surgeon, and even with the difficult extractions our son had, able to complete the work with very little post-operative problems.(Let's be honest, oral surgery and its after effects are very uncomfortable.) I myself have had some extremely unpleasant post-op experiences with other, now mercifully retired, surgeons, and we have all heard horror stories. His practice is very well run and pleasant. We seldom have to wait very long for service, and it is easy to get an appointment. I would without any hesitation recommend this practice, and the more severe your condition, the stronger I would urge you to take a look.

Especially Tricia. She has gotten me through this very grueling experience.

He just leaves the room and the tech is left to do all of his patient interactions. I left the office crying last time I had the temporary bridges put back in. They've fallen out 5x in 4 weeks. I've lost 8 lbs because I can't eat without them falling out and I'm doing my best to keep them in. I truly regret my choice of bridges rather than the much more expensive and involved process of oral surgery, braces, implants, etc. I wish they had informed me of my other options and discouraged me from filing down healthy teeth that I can never get back. I feel like a place with a little more integrity and less desire to make money would have told me not to do bridges. But I did make that decision, and it was 100% based on cost. I never thought I'd be fully familiarized with Fixodent in my 40s, yet here we are. As I stated above, my temporary bridges have fallen out 5 times in 4 weeks. I'll spare you the gory details. This doesn't seem normal, but maybe it is. I've never had major dental work. They did promptly fix it every time, however, so I'm giving them 3 stars, for courtesy, the niceness of the office and receptionists, and the willingness to repeatedly replace the failed bridges. However, I went for a second opinion today and was told that the reason the temporary bridges keep falling out is because my teeth are not prepared correctly relative to my bite. If this doctor hasn't figured that out by the 5th try, what are the chances he'll get it right for the permanent ones? I don't want his incompetence causing permanent damage to my teeth (what's left of them). So I'm taking my chances and switching doctors halfway through this process. My advice to this practice is to hire a better doctor who AT LEAST talks to his patients. I have no crowns on my teeth right now but I canceled my next appointment with 1st Advantage anyway. Clearly they are not up to the task.
