    BEWARE: NEGATIVE REVIEWS ARE STUPID AND MAY KILL YOU; SHE IS THE BEST IN A PROVEN SCIENTIFIC…read moreEXPERIMENT AGAINST ANOTHER AUSTIN, TEXAS PERIO. TL;DR: Second opinion conflicted, but Dr. Vemulapalli got implant tooth and gums from 9 to 2 on 10 point scale in four months; saved 6700$; no surgery for new implant needed. Some reviewers focus on aesthetic catering or vibes. These people are stupid and their vanity may kill you in your dental care. I am an Ivy League lawyer. My job is to discern talent in the most high stakes, billion dollar lawsuits. And I'm going to give you data that, when you need the best care, YOU MUST TRUST DR. VEMULAPALLI IN CENTRAL TEXAS. 1. My dentist mishandled my cleanings every four months religiously around my decade old implant. He recommended two periodontists. 2. The gums around my implant were a 9 out of 10 (3 being standard good health, 10 being catastrophe). 3. The first periodontist, who ALLEGEDLY IN MY OPINION AND NOT A STATEMENT OF FACT had a medical board finding of losing some office opioid pills a decade earlier, recommended removing the implant over multiple surgeries and installing a new one. This periodontist did not recognize a teaching professor who did the initial implant who stated my mouth shape was complex (n.b. teaching professors are the gold standard in medical care because they teach the next generation of surgeons). 4. Dr. Vemulapalli had better, state of the art equipment. She did more diagnostic reviews rather than the "gut check" of the first surgeon. Better equipment means better diagnostic skills. 5. Dr. Vemulapalli is board certified; the other perio in Austin was not. Board certified is the gold standard. It requires a commitment to ongoing learning and best practices verification. For example, Dr. Vemulapalli correctly identified recent peer review publications that CHLORODEX, which the other perio represented actually impedes gum health and the better state of the art practice of glyceme with antiobitcs has a better synergistic effect. And she's right! (Google the studies.) 6. Dr. Vemulapalli, like Malcom Gladwell's BLINK, was making millions of calculations a second and explained her reasoning. This seems minor but it is important! The patient must be their own best advocate. Dr. Vemulapalli will provide her best judgment, but we must apply our values and risk tolerance to form a good partnership. Dr. Vemulapalli explaining her calculations enabled that partnership; the other perio did not. 7. When doing the moderate intervention of reviewing my mouth, stopped to talked to me. The periohygienist then shouted, "23!" and Dr. Vemulapalli repeated to confirm "23!" This seems stupid. It's not. It's an important medical/scientific/engineering concept called "Double point of failure". When building rocket ships or doing surgery, having two people confirm every item is checked means a tooth or a safety valve isn't missed. Rather than relying on one person's memory, the vicious vigilance of protocols, even on something small like which tooth was next to be examined, shows Dr. Vemulapalli instituted the best practice of Double Point Of Failure to prevent malpractice and ensure there were always redundancies to ensure everything was handled correctly. You can infer from that militarized excellence in something simple applies to all sorts of things; paperwork (always responsive), cleaning tools (the office is immaculate), training, etc. 8. Dr. Vemulapalli recommended a deep cleaning and debridement because the tooth was "ailing, not failing". When she did the cleaning, she and the periohygienist started tapping my shoulder and making cute little noises. Weird right? No. It's actually a medical best practice that is used in animal training. When you have to inject a shot into someone (or animal!), by tapping them you help their nervous system stay present and distract them from the injection. Genius. THAT LEVEL OF CARE is not about vanity or vibes, that shows a deep, rich care for the dignity and quality of the person. Think of most medical practicioners? Do they care about your parasympathetic state when they draw blood or give you a shot? No, of course not. But Dr. Vemulapalli does because she cares and is the best. 9. At my two month check up, my gums went from 9-4. She recommend an amazing dentist who had a periohygienist. She partnered brilliantly with that dentist to come up with a care routine. 10. At my four month check up, my gums went from 4-2. That's better than the gold standard of 3. Dr. Vemulapalli cares. Not in the irrelevant way of vibes. In the way of ensuring the best medical care. In the way of implementing double points of failure to prevent malpractice. In the way of being board certified and doing millions of calculations as a Wellesley/Harvard genius.

    I had my dental implant put into today. There was no pain. Everyone is always so nice, and they…read morehave patience with you and your questions. I know it costs a lot of money.

    Hats off to Dr. Ding - the BEST BEST BEST oral surgeon IN THE WORLD! I was referred to Dr. Ding by…read moremy family dentist - Dr. Sura at Reveal Dental next door when I needed to remove 4 wisdom teeth and the other 4 regular teeth for my orthodontics treatment. If you go to Dr. Ding, I can 1 million percent guarantee you that you're in great hands and will have an awesome and painless experience. I came from Vietnam and had really bad and painful experience (even from cavity filling) with dentists there which has traumatized me until today. I came to Dr. Ding in Oct 2018 for a consultation when I knew that there might be a potential of removing 4 wisdom teeth. Dr. Ding's staff took my x-ray, and Dr. Ding explained everything very thoroughly. He dropped me a bomb (which I knew he would) that I had to let those 4 wisdom teeth go because they were impacted. My top ones came out in an angle leaning on my big molars. My bottom ones only peaked out of my gum for a little and they were sideway. He checked my nerves on the x-ray and said there was nothing to worry about since my nerves stayed low. One thing that gave me chills was that he would need to cut my gum open to remove the impacted bottom wisdom teeth because of the way they grew. That part freaked me out. I've never had anything cut open my whole life, and now I would have to do it in my mouth? I postponed the decision for a few months until my orthodontist told me that I really needed to let them go AS WELL AS additional 4 more to make sure for my teeth to straighten out. In mid May 2019 I was brave enough to come to Dr. Ding again and told him I was ready for the procedure and needed him to pull 4 more. He went through everything clearly and thoroughly with me again. I would be put to sleep through IV during the procedure, just so I could have the best and painless experience. He also warned me ahead of time that I would hate him for 2-3 days because my bottom wisdom teeth would be a bit difficult to take out, so I would expect to be sore a bit more. My appointment was at 7:30am and I was taken in right at 7:30am. The assistant got my blood pressure, put wires and stickers on my body to measure my breathing during my sleep. Dr. Ding waited no time to come in. He's also an expert in injecting IV. I just followed his instruction on how to release or hold my hand, and everything was in without me feeling a needle poking my skin. I was then immediately assisted with an oxygen mask. Dr. Ding then said something and before he finished his one sentence, I was knocked out around 7:40am. Then I heard people talking and tools being put away. An assistant asked if I was awake and the procedure was successfully done. I looked at the clock and it was 8:10am - it only took Dr. Ding 30 minutes or less to pull 8 teeth in one seating. Is he a superman?! I was then moved to the recovery room, still in and out of the other world. Dr. Ding went over my medicine with my husband, what I should and shouldn't do, and all that good stuff. I left the office 30 minutes later. Recovery: Painless and too good to be expected. Dr. Ding called me that afternoon to check I was doing, how the bleeding was, and how I felt. It was very nice thoughtful of him to do so. I already expected to be sore and uncomfortable for 2-3 days as he warned me, but I was not sore at all. My cheeks did not even swell, I didn't get to look like a chipmunk. People couldn't tell that I got the procedure done from just looking at me or talking to me. I stayed on the prescribed Ibuprofen and only took the strong pain killers on the day of the procedure just to calm it down after the anesthesia wore off. Other than that, I still have a full bottle of the strong pain killers. The most important thing is to follow his instructions very carefully and everything will be just fine. Post-op follow-up: One week after the procedure, I came back to visit Dr. Ding again to make sure I was healing properly, and I was. Dr. Ding was always available to answer any question/concern and see me if something was bothering me. The recovery process really shows how skilled/talent Dr. Ding is. Even with those complicated teeth, he pulled it off as if nothing happened, and I was so impressed. Pricing: I see reviews saying that it's pricey here. As a very happy patient, I'm confident to tell you that you get what you pay for. When it comes to your health, you can't put a price on it. I strongly recommend you to go with Dr. Ding for any oral or maxillofacial needs. I'm not saying he's expensive or cheap because I didn't compare prices anywhere. I 100% trust my dentist's referrals. Based on what I paid (both insurance coverage and my own out-of-pocket), the service I received and my recovery experience, it's absolutely worth every penny and I think it's very reasonable. THANK YOU THANK YOU Dr. Ding and the entire staff at Austin Oral Surgery in Cedar Park. I truly appreciate the care and the service you provided me.

    I don't know anyone who jumps up and down excited that it is time to go to the dentist. Certainly…read moreI do not. But if I have to go, I am thrilled that it is to Dr. Baker. After going to a couple of places who tried to upsell me - I know that sounds crazy right? Like I get a waiter upselling, but a dentist? Yep, one insisted I needed a new crown and super expensive procedure because the tip of an instrument broke off when it was put in - 15 years prior. It had never bothered me. Happily the second opinion agreed, there was no reason to go through all of that pain and expense. 5 years later, it is still fine. Dr. Baker is friendly - but cuts to the chase. Tells you like it is. You feel like you can trust him to tell you the good and the bad. His staff is professional, friendly, and super loyal to him. That says a lot about him as a dentist, a business owner, and a human.

    This was my first visit, but I've heard amazing stories about Dr. Baker for years from my wife, who…read moreworks for him--and now I understand why patients drive over 100 miles just to come back. I knew he's a man of integrity who always puts the patient's best interest first. But I think it's really his patient care that sets him apart. I hadn't had a cavity in years, but this time I needed a filling. Dr. Baker was amazing at setting expectations and explaining every step of the process. And I didn't know it was possible to not feel any pain or soreness for a filling--not even during the injection or any part of the treatment. He was that gentle. I truly can't recommend him more.
