After haveing a lower wisdom tooth removed several years ago, with a variety of complications, and very little satisfaction from the orginal oral surgeon: (his partner fixed his screw up, I refused after three times to see him or tolerate his attitude) I was more than a little aprehensive about having the other side removed.
Jim spent 45 minutes doing a pre-op interview and explained every step that would be involved. In the process I gained a whole new understanding about my teeth and their structure. It's not like I don't have regular dental exams, my teeth are cleaned 4 times and year and have been since I was 15, but Jim Alley would make an excellent professor.
When the nurse had a problem with the numbing agent, Jim administered it himself, again taking time to explain what had happened and what was going on. In doing the extraction he talked through every step and when he went to check with a mirror, I didn't even realize he had the tooth out.
In my opinion, Jim Alley is one of the most compentent and compasssionate oral surgeons in this town, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone
