I didn't swell up, I didn't feel pain and something as simple as an ice pack right after surgery made my enitre experience a welcoming surprise. Dr. Patterson even called at 7:45pm to ask how I was feeling. I'm a sales person an I know how hard it is to follow up with customers and I can't even imagine excecuting these calls after a day of sergery. I will recommend Dr. Patterson to all who wish to have a quick and painless recovery wish amazing 1 on 1 service. Thank you Dr. Patterson and I hope everyon that reads this knows I am sincere. Go see Dr. Patterson to feel the real painless dental experience.
