it's been six months since i had my wisdom teeth removed here by dr. jelmini, and I can confidently…read moresay that my experience was wonderful. the healing was smooth with no complications, and I was back to eating pre-surgery within weeks. if you're reading this, you may also be like me and have the largest amount of anxiety thinking about needing surgery. honestly, my dentist when I was in my teens casually mentioned you probably want to get your wisdom teeth removed at some point, but one came in fully and they never were a bother so it was one of those things you can file away and forget about. until you can't. in my late 20s now, I suddenly had gum pain near one of my wisdom teeth. dentist took one look and explained the tooth was rubbing against the gum trying to grow in and will keep this irritation cycle going -- the solution long term is removal. yikes! I spent a lot of time scouring the inter webs trying to find a trustable oral surgeon and my search led me to Three Rivers. I had originally planned on getting a second opinion, but honestly, there was no need. the first appointment was a consult. I had a pano X-ray taken and then dr. jelmini went over the X-ray, agreeing that I should remove them. he patiently answered my antsy questions, reassuring me with honesty about what to expect. we talked about anesthesia options, and me being the antsy person I am, decided upon IV sedation. I was curious about PRF because I'm quite the science nerd and had been reading about this optional add-on, and dr. jelmini was more than happy to honor my request. a few days before the big day, prescriptions for helping with pain and nausea were sent over to the pharmacy. the big day came and I was SO nervous! the thought of going under! the whole process was so smooth. I checked in, took care of payment and then waited a couple minutes before being called back. Lindsay was so patient noticing my stress. honestly, everyone here was so calm and professional and it really helped calm my nerves. before I knew it, the IV was in, dr. jelmini asked how I was doing, and--- I was out! seriously, when you hear people say propofol is like a nap, they aren't kidding. I honestly have no recollection of the moment I was given propofol and it felt like a minute later and I was waking up. very groggy. the whole procedure must have been what 45 minutes tops? plan on getting lots of rest. I was so pleasantly surprised to see dr. jelmini call later in the day to make sure I was doing okay. make sure you follow the post-op advice for a smooth recovery! every day got better exponentially, and within a few days I was feeling more like myself. it just takes a bit of time to get used to the modified diet for a few weeks. I'm so glad I'm on the other side of wisdom teeth surgery, but if I could, I'd tell my younger self that it'll be okay and you're in good hands with the professional and kind staff at Three Rivers. Dr. Jelmini had excellent bedside manners, understands the anxiousness and knows what he's doing. I really appreciate how all the doctors here are up to date on the latest science, presenting regularly at conferences. Thank you, Three Rivers! I sincerely hope I never need oral surgery ever again, but thank you for advancing the field with kindness!

Recovery has been smooth so far, and I'm really glad I took care of it when I did. Thank you to the Three Rivers team!

If I could give zero stars, I would. This was one of the most humiliating and disheartening medical…read moreexperiences I've ever had. After weeks of confusion and no coordination between Beacon and my dentist, I had to act as the go-between just to get a surgery date. On the day of the surgery, after fasting and carefully following instructions, I was told -- while already in the chair -- that the procedure was canceled. Why? Because I had taken my medication with a tiny sip of diluted grape juice three hours earlier. Not too much liquid -- just a small amount, mostly water (1 or 2 tablespoons). Instead of simply asking, the surgical assistant played a condescending game: "Show me with your fingers how much you drank." It felt demeaning. The surgeon never even came in to speak with me. I had prepaid $18,150 out of pocket -- money pulled from savings and investments. They offered no payment plan, no insurance coding support, and no transparency. I left in tears. I will never go back, and I want others to be warned.

I'm only ever here when I have something catastrophic going on with my teeth (stating the obvious),…read moreand this last time it was a very infected tooth where the infection was taking out bone, affecting my sinuses, etc. I was a mess, because my teeth hate me. Dr. Swiderski told me that TWO teeth needed to be pulled, because the one next to Bad Tooth was loose (fine, just a little) and the infection had basically caused too much bone loss. As is my way, I tried to air a grievance about this (and yes, I actually said "I'd like to air a grievance!"), noting that my Googling was surely as good as Dr. Swiderski's several advanced degrees and his prestigious residency at the Mayo Clinic. Perhaps not surprisingly, I was shot down, albeit nicely considering I was of course talking nonsense. All of the assistants are wonderful too, as I kept warning them that "I'm a baby about this stuff" and "it takes a lot of novocaine to work" and making the sad face of dread. Oh, and the x-ray apparatus they have is very high-tech! Regular plates hurt my mouth because I have mandibular tori (which I didn't even know weren't normal until I was an adult), but here they have a whirring machine that rotates and magically takes x-rays. Also, because I have a lot of stuff going on with my teeth, I was happy that Dr. S. mentioned cost, as in "let's triage and get the most critical stuff taken care of first" - not because he knew anything about my financial situation, but because dental/medical stuff is expensive and most insurance (including mine) has ridiculously low caps on what they'll pay out in total for dentistry. So, the point. This was a complicated dental surgery because so much of the bone was eaten away and it involved two teeth and I'm a wimp about anything dental-related....but I'll have to go back for follow up and probably bone grafting, and I actually don't dread it. That's how nice everyone there is, and how hard they work to make sure this is as pain-free as possible, so much unlike the root canal sadistic nightmares of my youth. It's also nice of Dr. Swiderski to check in the evening after surgery to make sure we're doing okay. Overall, if you need dental surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Swiderski and crew!

I've never written a negative review before, but this experience at Beacon Oral Surgeons demands…read moreit. What happened to me wasn't just unprofessional -- it was dehumanizing. I spent weeks coordinating between my dentist and Beacon with no help from either office. Patients shouldn't be the ones stuck navigating inter-office chaos. A liaison is desperately needed to ensure people aren't left confused, delayed, or falling through the cracks like I did. On surgery day, I was in the chair, ready -- scared, but prepared -- when the assistant came in with a fake-sweet tone and canceled everything on the spot. Why? Because I'd taken a tiny sip of water mixed with a bit of grape juice three hours before. I followed the instructions to the letter. But they wanted a reason to push me out, and they used that as their excuse. The girl who took me into the room to get me ready, never did listen to me. She kept telling me that I had drink much more juice than I said to her. Imagine dilute in your juice 2/3 parts water 1/3 part juice and then when you put it in your cup, you add 50% more water. And then imagine that you could take a few pills with between one and 2 tablespoons of liquid. That's what I took and I tried to explain that to her, but she didn't want to hear it. She just wanted me gone. I don't believe she told the truth to the doctor because he had talked with my dentist and told her that I wasn't having the surgery because I drank juice. I also had an advocate who works for my Dentist come with me, and she wasn't allowed to come into the room until the girl who took me back. There was able to create the scenario that I wouldn't be getting the surgery without being completely honest with the doctor, if in fact, he was the one who made the decision. I will never trust this company again. Worse still, the surgeon never spoke to me -- not even to explain or apologize. I had written him a check for $18,150. They don't accept payment plans. They don't help with insurance coding. They just expect people to hand over their life savings, and if you question any of it -- well, you're out! If this clinic had any respect for patients, they'd listen. They'd help. They'd have the decency to speak face-to-face. I left their office feeling humiliated and discarded. I want no one else to go through what I did.

I was extremely nervous going in, but Dr. George and the entire staff were fantastic at explaining what was going to happen, walking me through my options, and helping me feel calm and informed throughout the process. The treatment itself ended up requiring three visits instead of the two originally expected. The area involved was larger than anticipated and needed extra time to dry properly before being fully sealed. I also had to return once more to adjust some remaining cement that was affecting my bite. While the additional visits were inconvenient, everything was handled carefully and thoroughly, and I appreciated the attention to getting it right. Because I had such a positive experience with Dr. George, I chose to also meet with the periodontist associated with the same practice, Dr. Yang. Unfortunately, that consultation did not go well for me. The recommendations were delivered very abruptly, and I ultimately chose to seek a second opinion elsewhere. I will be working with a different periodontist for that portion of my care. That said, I would absolutely recommend Salmon Creek Endodontics for endodontic work. Dr. George is skilled, patient, and compassionate, and his staff made what could have been a very stressful experience much easier to get through.
