So I made the terrible mistake of going to an out-of-network provider--Dr. Lee. I'm not even sure she's a part of any insurance programs, but she accepts insurance (mine was Metlife).
I had 3 teeth extracted (2 wisdom and a dead tooth). She also had to place a bone-graft.
Everything went extremely well. The procedure gave me the best sleep I'd had in weeks. I did, however, wake up a little bit during it, but I did NOT feel any pain. I think that was just my own body, and not necessarily indicative of her performance. She performed the procedure perfectly, I think. I had minimal swelling, pain lasted a day (the day of surgery), and she called to follow up. The stiches were the worst part; they were quite annoying in my mouth. So that says a lot, I think, of her work.
The only downside: EXPENSIVE. My procedure cost $3k. Insurance covered squat. She does charge more than average, I think (I checked with the Dr. Doriot surgeon's prices, in VA). I belive Dr. Lee's procedures cost an average of about $75 more than his prices (each procedure). If I had to do it over, I would have gone with him to save money.
So if you have the money, I would, w/NO reservations, recommend Dr. Lee for oral surgery. She was great.
