Patient Testimonial
The staff members were exceptionally accommodating, and Dr. DeWild is highly skilled. I went with local anesthesia rather than IV sedation because I handle pain well. It turned out to be a smart move as it was cost-effective, and I didn't have any lingering foggy feelings. The entire experience was favorable. Recovery was a breeze; I didn't even need to resort to ibuprofen or any painkillers. In summary, the office and its team are top-notch.
