| - Dr Schneider and his staff took great care of me. I am super apprehensive about anything medical, needles, blood... so I've put this off for a few years. I can't say what exactly made me decide to get this done, but something sparked my interest in finally getting those wisdom teeth out.
My dental insurance is a glorified discount program which only seems to work at western dental and when you're at western dental, you don't really get to choose your dr or dentist. After a lengthy search on google and Yelp I compiled a list of about 10 or 12 oral surgeons in the phoenix area. My requirements were only positive reviews. A couple on my list came from medical review sites and some from Yelp also. Dr Schneider rated high everywhere I saw him so I definitely had him on my short list.
I proceeded to call and inquire with each of the 12 offices I gathered. I asked for a quote to remove two impacted wisdom teeth and that I was a cash patient. Some offices estimated upwards of $2000, and some offices refused to give an estimate over the phone, I would have to come in for a $100+/- consultation for them to even give me a quote. Dr Schneider's office ended up giving me an over the phone estimate of about $1200 before a 25% cash customer discount as I had no insurance to use, which was a few hundred less than every other office I called for an estimate. Dr Schneider turned out to be the least expensive and also the highest rated surgeon in phoenix, and I'm talking east valley, west valley, north and south.
I had received x-rays from my visit to western dental and Dr Schneider was able to use those; he didn't charge for the consultation visit or x-rays either. After receiving my x-rays, the office staff called back and gave me a firm price, which turned out to be a little less than the original quoted price also, yay!
The day of my appointment, I arrived, reiterated my anxiety about needles, they gave me some laughing gas to calm me down, sprayed something on my arm before inserting the IV to sedate me for the procedure. I barely felt the needle and away I went. What was seemingly a few moments later I found myself waking up, gauze in my mouth and two wisdom teeth lighter than I used to be. After a weekend of recovering at home with smoothies and powerful pain medication. I'm good to get back to work and I no longer have those annoying and occasionally painful wisdom teeth.
I know why I waited this long to have this done, it's my anxiety about medical, but if you're gonna bite the bullet, you had better give Dr Schneider a call, he's great at what he does and less expensive than everyone else I called to boot. I'd go back to him to remove my other two wisdom teeth, except I was only half wise, the other two decided not to grow in.
Happy Yelping Phoenix, don't be so anxious about getting wisdom teeth pulled. Dr Schneider is the best.
