I would not recommend Dr. Assael. He's more interested in padding his bottom line than what's in the best interest of his patients.
I needed an immediate extraction of a wisdom tooth that was impacted and infected. After viewing my x-ray, he recommended that I postpone the extraction until I could schedule the procedure in the hospital (more expensive and requiring exposure to general anesthesia). Also, he recommended that while I was having the infected one removed - I might as well have the other impacted one removed - again adding to the expense. I received a second and third opinion from other dentists who said that removing the second one was not only unnecessary - but also risky - as it was very close to a nerve. Needless to say, I saved several thousand dollars by having just the infected one removed in another dentist's office, under sedation (not anesthesia).
