Member comment:
"An
outstanding TOP NOTCH Oral Surgeon. . . He is well worth the trip
to Pikesville. I've never met a doctor, dentist or anyone
with his gentleness, fantastic chair-side manner and caring
attitude. I told him I liked him at the end of our visit after
giving him a huge file of info on me; his return reply was, "I like
you, too." As a CFS/Fibro/TMJ patient, I've never had a doctor tell me
he/she liked me. LOL. A treat to be sure and the tooth he pulled is
finally gone along with the instrument someone broke off in it many
years ago. The pain I've had was absolute minimal compared to the agony
I've been through for years."
