Due to a great job offer from Catawba Valley Health System in Hickory, NC, I left Duke University…read moreto move west. I was in the final phase of needing my dental implant finalized when the offer came. Dr. Brian Vandersea at Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery in Durham, NC, referred me to my present dentist, Dr. Michael Cordora. It was a fantastic recommendation. Because I have been so pleased with Dr. Cordora and his staff's services, I want to let others know about the gem tucked away on 236 9th Ave Dr NE Hickory. Dr. Cordora has been my dentist for 3 years now. His services are top notch. My implant is great and without problems. I love his entire team; however, let me tell you about Lilia, my dental hygienist. I was actually apprehensive about going there and being in an unfamiliar area with strangers. Lilia was and is a God-send. She quickly made me feel comfortable like I was at home with a friend. Her skillful cleaning is applied effortlessly as she discusses topics that effectively distract you from what she is doing. My teeth feel fantastic when she is finished and it is not painful at all. Somehow she makes the time fly by and makes the experience pleasant. Did you hear that? Going to a dentist is pleasant!!! I completely trust Lilia and her professional services along with Dr. Cordora and his entire team. If you are searching for a dentist in Hickory, I would like to offer the wonderful suggestion of Dr. Cordora and his staff just like Dr. Vandersea offered me this gift.

My daughter had her wisdom teeth removed. Her experience was very good, they were so fast and…read moreefficient it took maybe 20 minutes to remove 4 teeth. They gave her meds to calm down before surgery like a benzodiazepine just enough to relieve stress and anxiety.which is great because my daughter suffers from anxiety and depression pretty bad so this made things better for her and me. She was experiencing migraines from the teeth so we were so happy they were able to get her in a month ahead of schedule. The staff were very friendly and supportive. Very clear instructions on how to help my daughter. They also gave her antibiotics and steroids and pain medicine so I feel like he did a great job.

When I went for my consultation last Friday, the waiting room was so packed. I stood the whole time while they made us fill out information, including our Social Security number side-by-side with random people on paper. When I went in today for the actual surgery, the nurses were great. On the other hand, Dr. Christopher H. Brown was very rude. He started screaming at his nurses, calling them idiots. He told one of the nurses to get the hell out of his way. When he said that, I started to sit up and told him to chill out, and then one of the nurses said it's okay, and that's all I remember! If you work for someone who talks to you that way, leave - there's no amount of money in the world worth putting up with that BS!
