I didn't want to have my wisdom teeth out. My regular dentist told me I had two cavities. I wanted someone to tell me they'd fill 'em, that I didn't need surgery.
After 5 minutes with Dr. Spector, I was yelling 'alright, take them out!' He showed me just how bad they really were, and told me how much worse it could get. I felt we had a good rapport - his joke telling and snarking back at me put me at ease - so I booked the surgery for a week later.
I have a fear of anethesia, so I didn't want to go under. After telling me that if I squirmed once while awake he'd stop the surgery, I consented to go under.
There was no need to worry. I had the surgery, woke up, and felt fine. No swelling, no pain, just a numb lower lip which is almost completely fine now, 12 hours post op. I didn't touch the vicodin he prescribed, the ibuprofen, at least so far, is doing the trick.
Highly recommended - if you need an oral surgeon, he's your guy.
