I was pleasantly surprised at how pain free and smoothly my gum surgery with Dr Barget went. I was expecting to be in extreme pain-this according to a few friends who had the surgery previously done by another periodontist. However, my experience was quite the opposite. I took it easy the day of the surgery and followed Dr Barget's post operative care instructions. The following day I had no swelling and very little discomfort. I was able to go about my normal weekend activities. I am now about a month post-op and all healed. Dr Barget and his office were extremely professional and caring. I would highly recommend Dr Barget for all your periodontal needs.
