My journey started in March of 2013 when I first met Dr. Meisami and her team. From that moment on I knew I was making the right decision in becoming a patient of Dr. Meisami's. Her warm inviting spirit and vast depth of knowledge on everything related to the jaw and teeth is something I found truly remarkable. My consultation with Dr. Meisami involved discussing upper and lower jaw surgery, and as scary as that may sound, Dr. Meisami put all my fears at ease. She was very informative on everything that would happen, explained all the risks and answered every question I had asked. Ultimately she made my decision to go ahead with triple jaw surgery that much easier.
The first step before getting braces and diving into surgery involved the removal of 4 wisdom teeth and 4 pre-molars. Dr. Meisami and her team made me feel extremely comfortable throughout the entire procedure. There were absolutely no complications or issues. After the extractions I was provided a guide to help me heal, as well as very trust worthy advice from Dr. Meisami and some of her staff. And I must say; I followed every detail exactly and for having 8 teeth removed I was completely surprised with how little swelling and pain I had. It seemed like I was back to normal within 3 days. A few hours after I got home from the extraction procedure I received a call from Dr. Meisami's team asking me if I had any questions at all and to let me know that they would be there for me throughout the entire recovery process and that if anything at all came up I could call them. The amazing skills of Dr. Meisami and her team were definitely evident based on the fact that I hardly had any swelling or pain, and it also helped that I followed their advice exactly as directed. Having gone through this with such great results I knew I was in the best hands for my upcoming triple jaw surgery in October of 2015.
It started with the pre-op in which Dr. Meisami and her team walked me through exactly what was going to happen. They gave me very helpful tips for a speedy and easy recovery and I knew if I followed those tips like I did with the extractions then I would have no issues. Dr. Meisami made me feel extremely comfortable about the entire process and upcoming surgery, so much so that I can honestly say; having a major surgery and being put under general anesthetic for 4 and a half hours, I had hardly any nerves at all. This is because I knew I was in the best hands with Dr. Meisami and her team.
It's the day of the surgery and Dr. Meisami comes into the room I was waiting in and again asked me if I had any last minute questions or concerns, treating me not as a patient but as a friend, a member of her family. At this point I had no more fears or anxious moments as I knew I was doing the right thing and that I had the best surgeon for the job. 4 and a half hours later, Dr. Meisami tells my family who was much more nervous than myself that the surgery was a complete success. Now began the road to recovery.
I knew the journey I had before me would not be an easy one, but knowing that I had the support of Dr. Meisami and her incredible team behind me made it that much easier. Dr. Meisami made herself available to me 24/7 and told me if I had any concerns no matter how small I could reach out to her at any point, and that showed me that she truly does care about her patients and will be there every step of the way on the road to recovery. 1 follow up appointment after another, I listened to everything Dr. Meisami and her team had to say and followed their advice exactly as they stated and even Dr. Meisami was impressed with how well and how quickly I was healing. And drinking pureed foods out of a cup instead of using a syringe made the recovery process that much easier. I was getting married just 10 months after this surgery, in August of 2016, and I had no doubts with the reassurance of Dr. Meisami and her team that I would look great and feel great when it came time to walk down that aisle. And I must say, on my wedding day, it's the first time in my life that I was able to smile from ear to ear and not stress about who was taking my picture and from what angle.
I owe it all to Dr. Meisami and her amazing team (from those who assist with the surgery to the receptionists) as they were there for me every single step of the way. They made me feel like a part of their family and the fact that they made this entire process so smooth and easy for me, in August of 2017 after my last follow up appointment, I can honestly say that if I had to do it all over again I would, but only if I could go through this process with Dr. Meisami and her team. Dr. Meisami is an amazing surgeon, her knowledge and expertise is unlike anything I've ever experienced and her team is equally as amazing and as caring as she is. read more
