    Mountain State Oral & Facial Surgery - Jaw bruised as I expected.

    I have been trying to get my surgery scheduled for weeks. My primary doctor's office faxed medical…read moreclearance to them twice and they never put it into my chart. Then last week I brought the clearance forms and watched as the receptionist scanned them into my chart. I then called on Friday and was told the doctor hadn't signed off yet but should do it that day. I called today (Tuesday) and it still hadn't been done. If they weren't the primary dental surgeons in WV, I would go elsewhere gladly.

    My first experience in many years was last October. I was assigned a surgeon which means if you are…read morenot comfortable with that person you are stuck. I was to have 4 teeth extracted. When I woke from general anesthesia, which I should never had due to a medication I was on, only 2 teeth had been removed. No explanation, did not see the doctor either before or after the procedure and I was promptly ushered out the back door to my ride. My vein blew when an IV was attempted resulting in a very large bruise all down my arm with a second attempt being made in the same arm. I called a couple days later to try to get an explanation and was told that there was confusion over one of the teeth to be removed being part of a bridge. I have NO bridges in my mouth! My dentist even confirmed it with Mt. State. They charged me for x rays and seeing the surgeon in October which I did not see him. That money was refunded as payment must be made BEFORE they touch you. Fast forward to present day. A different doctor at Mt. State was requested by my regular dentist as I wasn't comfortable going back to the original doctor. I was x rayed again for the 4th time in a little over a year. I was taken back to a room and was scheduled for the extraction of 1 tooth. The nurse ask me if I was there for 3 extractions? After being left in the room for almost an hour, a different person came in and said they weren't going to extract the tooth in question until my dentist removed the existing crown on it. This was the first I had heard of this and the appointment was made in January. They knew they were not going to remove it and said nothing to me nor was my dentist contacted. Again never spoke with a doctor! As a result of these two experiences at Mt. State I have no confidence in them and am shocked at how I was treated. Needless to say I will be with a new oral surgeon in the near future.

    I had not been to the dentist for several years as I have had unpleasant experiences in the past…read moreand was nervous to make an appointment. One of my colleagues recommended Howard & Howard nd I was extremely pleased with my decision to go here. The staff was friendly and were non-judgemental that I had not been to the dentist in years. Dr. Jacqueline Stump was kind and made me feel at ease. She ended up fixing some of my fillings at another visit and I barely felt any pain; I was impressed and grateful. I have now recommended this dentist to several of my colleagues and will continue to do so. 10/10 will continue to go here.

    Recently I had to have an upper molar which connects to your sinuses, surgically removed. Although…read morelocal was injected at the site and I did not feel pain there, I felt much pain from my lower jaw muscles and other adjacent teeth being pried against to remove the tooth. The drilling into the jaw bone created pain and a severe headache. I had to even make them stop to take a break because my respirations and heart rate had increased so much I was dizzy. It took 2.5 hours of drilling, prying and pulling to remove the cracked tooth. The tooth had fused to my maxilla bone because a root canal had been performed on it some years before. I begged for Nitrous Oxide gas or to be given even a Valium to relax and/or aid in the pain relief, but was refused. It is documented N.O gas does aid in pain relief along with providing relaxation. I was told Tylenol should take care of any pain after the surgery. Trauma to the bone creates more pain than any other pain. I was told by the receptionist that the insurance my employer switched to was fighting their office of scheduled fees. That is not my fault. I paid over half of the bill at the conclusion of that torture because of how little the receptionist stated they would receive from the insurance company. I am an Operating Room Registered Nurse, and would NEVER have permitted a surgeon to treat one of our patients so inhumanely. The headache lasted several days afterwards, along with severe pain mainly from my lower jaw of being pried against with significant force for so long. I could not speak, or eat for nearly 3 days afterwards. If you need a tooth extraction, find another oral surgeon.

    I have been going to Dr Tupta for 2 years and I only have good experiences to share. The first time…read morewas for an acute visit and they were able to see me within 2 days. Regular visits are a breeze and his hygienists are all good and very professional. All my family members go to him and I recommend him whenever the opportunity arises.

    My experience at Dr. Tupta's practice was exceptionally smooth, especially considering the fact…read morethat it was an emergency appointment, and I was a first-time patient. I called when a tooth started giving me problems, and they booked me for the following morning. There was the usual paperwork to complete, but as soon as I was finished, Dr. Tupta saw me and assessed the situation. He was kind and soft-spoken and clearly understood what was going on. By the time I left the office he had booked an appointment for me with a highly rated Charleston endodontist who could handle the task of a relatively complicated root canal. Dr. Tupta asked me to return to his office as soon as the RC procedure was complete, and he would work me in for a permanent filling of the treated tooth. I am a certified "dentaphobe," thanks to a traumatic experience during my first dental appointment as a child (think the Steve Martin character in "Little Shop of Horrors"), but the way I was treated by Dr. Tupta and his office personnel gave me no qualms about returning to his office to have the procedure completed.
