I am very unhappy with my oral surgery procedure. I was referred to this oral surgeon by my regular dentist, Dr. Bryan Davis, who is wonderful, but my experience with Dr. Joseph Anthony has been terrible. I went in to have all of my 4 wisdom teeth removed. My insurance would not cover all four because they only do general anesthesia, which is a lot more expensive and charged an extra $126.00 for an extra 15 min of anesthesia. Anyway, I should have known something was wrong when I was strapped in to my seat and when the assistant put the IV in my vein, blood splattered everywhere, on my clothes, seat and floor. It's been a month after my surgery and my bottom lip and chin are STILL NUMB!!! I went in to get checked and they said that the collagen plugs might have hurt my arteries, causing my nerves to get bruised. Had I known all of this, I would never have had this procedure done. My chin and lip are numb and are still in pain. I have jaw pain and they hurt in the morning when I wake up, when air hits me and I'm still on painkillers and I HATE having to take pills, but I have no choice. I can't wait for this sensation to go away. Please think twice before going under general anesthesia, who know what really happens. Ouch!
