I had been putting off getting my wisdom teeth removed for nearly 10 years because I was extremely anxious about the procedure, the pain, and the recovery. After my experience with Dr. Stern and Perri, I feel silly for procrastinating this long!From the beginning, Perri was incredibly helpful, communicative, and thorough. During the scheduling and consultation process, she clearly explained the logistics, costs, and timeline of the procedure, which helped ease a lot of my anxiety.When it finally came time for the extraction, I was very nervous, but Perri was such a reassuring presence. Her confidence and kindness made a big difference.I had three wisdom teeth removed, and I was honestly shocked by how quick and efficient Dr. Stern and the surgical tech were. The procedure was over before I knew it and I experienced barely any pain, even with just local anesthetic. It was clear that he is extremely experienced and his calm, straightforward demeanor made me feel very comfortable throughout the process.After the procedure, Perri provided clear post-op instructions and even checked in to see how my recovery was going, which I really appreciated!I still have my follow-up appointment next week, but so far my recovery has been incredibly smooth, and I credit that to Dr. Stern’s skill and expertise. I’m very grateful to the entire team for making what I had feared for years such a positive experience!
