Never once was I told the appointment was only for a consultation, I assumed it was the procedure the dentist referred us to. Just so much miscommunication.

A Warning to all who would use Austin Oral Surgery In…read moreOctober 2023, I underwent a skin graft procedure from the roof of my mouth to the lower left gum with Dr. Travis W. Kern, DDS, MD at Austin Oral Surgery in Austin, TX, in preparation for two dental implants. I was 76 years old at the time. The procedure lasted more than twice as long as planned (3 hours under general anesthesia in his office, without an anesthesiologist or standard Deep Vein Thombosis prevention protocols like compression wraps). Nine days later, I developed severe swelling in my right leg. I was diagnosed with three blood clots (DVT) -- above, below, and behind the knee. I was hospitalized, put on blood thinners, and referred to a hematologist and vascular surgeon. All other risk factors were ruled out. My hematologist concluded the clots were a direct result of the surgery. I now (20 months later) live with permanent vein damage (Post Thrombotic Syndrome). My mobility is severely limited and my quality of life has deteriorated. When I obtained the surgical report from Dr. Kern 5 months later, I was shocked to find that it described the procedure as "uneventful." He made no mention of the extended time, complications, or excessive bleeding that he admitted to me during a follow-up visit -- with his nurse present. In my opinion, this omission was deliberate and does not meet the standards of care patients deserve. I filed a formal complaint with the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners. After nearly a year-long investigation, the Board required Dr. Kern to take continuing education courses in Risk Management, Sedation of Medically Compromised Patients, and Record Keeping -- but imposed no public disciplinary action. He continues to practice without a public record of this case. I am sharing my story to help others make informed decisions. This was my personal experience and reflects my sincere opinion based on medical records and interactions with multiple physicians.

We cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kern and everyone at AUSTIN Oral surgery. My son was…read moreextremely anxious about having an IV for the first time . Dr. Kern gave him an anxiety prescription and use lidocaine spray to numb his arm. I was shocked at how calm and unbothered my son was. He had all four wisdom teeth removed without any problem. Dr. Kern has a calming presence anyway & he made my son feel at ease. They also did a great job of keeping me apprised of how everything was going, while I was in the waiting room. The entire procedure lasted less than an hour Everyone in the recovery area was extremely kind and helpful. My son doesn't even remember anything from getting the IV thru the car ride home. Dr. Kern even called to check on him and make sure he was recovering well the next day. The post-procedure prescriptions they used seem to do great for managing his pain, as well. Overall, I just can't recommend Dr. Kern and the good folks at Austin Oral Surgery enough! We will definitely be using them again when my daughter has hers removed, as well as any future oral surgery needs.

Who?!?!? I've known about Dr. Hassell and I've lived in Pflugerville for 20 years, but I had never heard of Dr. Verrett. But.. as I said... horrible tooth pain. He could have been Dr. Death for all I cared. So, I get all comfy in the chair and in walks Dr. Verrett. You know in the Christmas cartoon Rudolph where people keep telling the elf "You can't be a DENTIST, you're supposed to be an elf!" ? Well, when he walked in I felt like saying, "You can't be a DENTIST, you're supposed to be a male model on some huge billboard over Times Square!" He looks like some kind of movie star fresh out of college and I'm thinking... oh, he can't hurt me.. he's so sweet and handsome. WRONG! But, it wasn't his fault. I had a roaring infection that just wasn't going to settle down until he got in there and cleaned it out. So, 2 and a half hours with Dr Hot. He dug. Drilled. Dug. Drilled. And so on, until he was absolutely sure it was all out. He took 3 ex rays. I could tell by his interaction with the staff that he's relatively new at the office (Hey, I'm a licensed private investigator, I get paid to notice stuff like that :-) but he wasn't taking any crap off of anyone, that's for sure. He may be the new guy in town, but he knows his stuff. The staff has been there forever and you can tell... they have that easy family type way of dealing with each other but not quite as easy with Dr. Verrett. They were polite to him but it was clear they have their way of doing things and so they were quite forthcoming with suggestions... some he took and some he didn't... good for you, Dr. Billboard. Anyway, it was painful and stressful but I woke up this morning with no pain for the first time in 6 weeks. He's an Angel of Mercy. I'll be back.

I was a patient of this dental office for eight years and would have given it a five star review…read moreuntil recently. I was in a period in my life where I did not have dental insurance so I was a cash pay patient. When I went in the last time, they insisted that I have x-rays and that if I didn't, they were not "running the business as they were taught ". So as it turns out, Dr. Peters wouldn't even clean my teeth! She talked to me like I was an errant child who was misbehaving. I have never experienced anything like this in my life. I reached out to the owner of the practice and she called me back and apologized for how things happened and even offered to do the x-rays for free. Although I greatly appreciate that, I have no desire to go back and have to see Dr. Peter's. So I advise if you go to this practice make sure you have health insurance or unlimited money because people who don't are not really welcome.

I got referred…read moreto Mike Williamson by my dentist and was initially apprehensive as he was out of network with my dental insurance, but went for a consult anyway. Dr. Williamson operates a very smooth-running practice. Every staff interaction I had (front desk, nurses, techs) was excellent and you can tell there's just good teamwork going on here. I made a special request for my surgical operation and was super grateful that Dr. Williamson was willing to accommodate it. He and Sarah had excellent bedside manner during my operation - it went quick and painless. The recovery was (somewhat predictably) miserable for the first week. I had a few questions about the discomfort I was experiencing and was so appreciative of the staff that went out of their way to proactively check in on me and get answers. They even reached out to Dr. Williamson about one issue on his day off which they didn't have to do. Just had my post-op today follow-up today, a couple weeks later, and everything is in great shape. Despite the challenges in recovery so grateful to have this out of the way and gums that are good to go (as Dr. Williamson put it) for life! Though the office will still bill insurance for you, I could have saved some money working with an in-network provider. However, I think this operation in particular benefits from Dr. Williamson's wealth of experience - my understanding is there's a lot of nuances in sourcing and shaping graft tissue. Some things are worth spending on!
