I was referred to Dr. David G Millaud, DDS by my personal Dentist, after my yearly dental cleaning and x-rays .(No Cavities) On my lower left inside gum line I had a lesion with a hardness to it. Removal and biopsy of oral tissue-soft needed to be done. I called his office and set up my first appointment .Upon arrival I filled out the necessary paperwork, took x-rays and had my consultation with Dr. Millaud to discuss my case and it's treatment. After confirming that the surgery could be done. I was given a through explanation of what my treatment involved. I was then given, Pre-Op Instructions that was reviewed with me by the Anesthesiologist (Miss Pat). Finally my appointment was given me for my surgery date. The day of my surgery, more paperwork to sign, (Keep up the good work Mr. Donald), then I was shown to the Surgical Room. My blood pressure was taken, I was hooked up to an electrocardiograph monitor by a Technician, followed by a pulse oximeter.(Dr. Millaud's staff certainly take the safety of their patient to heart). Next, the Anesthesiologist (Miss Pat) started an IV drip in my arm, when the Doctor was ready to start, on his orders she administered the general anesthesia. That stuff is GOOD, I don't know when I went under, but as I was gently awaken I knew my surgery was over I was allowed time to wake up from the effects of the anesthesia. I was given and explained my Post-Op Instructions Sheet.(My husband also was informed) Also given to me were my prescriptions to be filled. I was then helped into a wheelchair, that was used to transport me downstairs to my waiting car driven by my husband.(As stated in the Pre-Op Instructions - An Escort had to stay and drive you home). After I got home I had very little bleeding, only changed my packing of gauze dressing once, after applying pressure to the area. I did "iced" that side of my face/mouth for several hours. I usually experience nausea and vomiting after taking anesthesia. But, BLESS Dr. Millaud, he added an extra medication to my IV to prevent that from occurring.(He also prescribed a medication to help with nausea or vomiting just in case I needed it. AWESOME Doctor). Thankfully no nausea or vomiting, NONE. In fact I only took one pain pill, didn't need anymore after that . My mouth never pained me. Like I said, I was in the hands of one of the Best Oral Surgeon in the Greater New Orleans area ! After a few days I received a phone call to check on how I was doing and if I needed anything. I followed the Post-Op instructions until my Follow-up Appointment .Dr. Millaud checked the incision site and said all looked good , no swelling, no infection at the site. He said he would contact me when he receive the biopsy results back from the Lab. His office called a few days later with the good news, Nothing bad was found. Hallelujah! So I would sincerely and completely recommend , The C & M Surgical Group, for your dental needs, you will be taken care of with the upmost respect and dignity. GO TEAM MILLAUD!!! Thank You All Very Much !
