Had to have all my teeth extracted except for 7, Lets be real, THIS is not going to be a fun experience!!! I take a referral for Dr. Latham and decide to check him out. (Keep in mind this is a 100 mile 2 hour drive for me, There closer oral surgeons, but I've heard and seen horror stories at these places) So I arrive at his office on Broad Street after some fancy maneuvering to get around the construction. I walk in and this place is nicely decorated with good furnishings (for an office waiting room) I spoke with the secretary and after the necessary paperwork continued on with my consultation. Dr. Latham was extremely thorough, polite, and made sure I was well informed. After my first impression I decided I would return for the surgery.

So as I mentioned before, as professional as Dr. Latham and staff are, I'm still nervous and know for sure this is going to be the worst experience ever....Wrong!!!!! It was amazing!!! Everyone was just as friendly as the last trip. I have a fear of needles, and am what they call a "hard stick" Dr. Latham nailed the I.V. insertion instantly. I never felt a thing through the whole procedure, and as the numbness wore off I have yet to feel any real pain. So far no need for painkillers. I find this amazing and give full credit to the doctor and his staff. I would recommend anyone needing an extraction to visit. Even if you have to drive halfway across the state as is my case. read more
