Su James Y DDS

For years before I had gone to Dr. Su, I was experiencing a lot of pain coming from my wisdom teeth. I had four impacted teeth and was originally planning on having them taken out elsewhere with local anesthesia, but reconsidered only to find the best Oral Surgeon in Riverdale. I was understandably nervous about getting any surgery done, especially one invoking my teeth and gums. But when I arrived to the office, which was visibly well maintained and staffed by friendly people, Dr. Su sat me in the chair and instantly calmed me down with his easygoing demeanor and positive attitude towards the upcoming surgery. The general anesthesia was applied and before I knew it, my 4 wisdom teeth extraction surgery was done. It was such a quick procedure and I couldn’t believe I was already ready to go. But before I could leave, they made sure I had someone (particularly in this case, my girlfriend) pick me up from the office. In retrospect, this is a great policy to have when you’ve performed a surgery that requires the patient to go under general anesthesia.
Now that I’m writing this Unilocal review, my extractions are fully healed and I never had a dry socket nor an infection thanks to Dr. Su. I truly appreciate the surgical expertise and am especially grateful for his carefully-​explained verbal instruction on how to handle the healing process. Thank you Dr. Su!

I went to Dr. Su to have my four wisdom teeth removed. After hearing about friends’s wisdom teeth surgeries, I expected to be in a lot of pain after the surgery and to not be able to go about my normal activity for awhile. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that that was not the case at all. The surgery itself was very quick, and Dr. Su’s calm and reassuring demeanor made me feel at ease before the surgery. He carefully explained to me in detail what was going to happen. I woke up a little loopy from the anesthesia but in no pain. After the anesthetic from the surgery subsided, I felt some pain that evening. I took some Advil and went to bed. I woke up feeling much better than the previous evening. Throughout my recovery, the pain was so minimal that I only took Advil. I never had to take the painkiller that was prescribed to me. Only a day and half after the surgery, I felt better enough to go on a bike ride. Four days after the surgery, I went to a big music concert. The swelling had pretty much fully subsided five days after the surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Su as an extremely competent doctor you can trust and rely on. Throughout the whole process, I felt that he genuinely cared about me and my recovery. He is very diligent about his work, and I’m glad that I went to see him for my surgery.

I went to Dr. Su a couple of years ago to get two of my wisdom teeth removed. This weekend after a failed attempt at trying to get my top left wisdom tooth removed at my dentist’s office, I ended up having to find an oral surgeon to finish the job.
Having had a painless and smooth time at Dr. Su’s office the first time, I decided to go back there. They fit me in last minute as an emergency patient. The facilities seem very clean and up-​to-​date. The entire team was both friendly and no-​nonsense, a combination I really like. Dr. Su was very personable and even though he only saw me once in 2013, he had a lot to say about my first visit and the progression of my healing since then because it seems that they took very extensive notes, which was a pleasant surprise.
I would definitely go back to his office to get my final wisdom tooth taken out and would recommend him wholeheartedly.

Here’s the DL: I had to get my wisdom teeth taken out. I was lazy and waited until they were pretty much grown in and needed to be operated on. So I decided to go local and went to see Dr Su. We set up a consultation, he took a look and said, yep you need to be operated on– the longer you wait, the worse it’ll be. Mind you, this is around early December. So, after looking frantically for a time that would work, we settled on December 23^rd, at 3pm, the last appointment they had for the year. Yes, I know what you’re thinking, that’s 2 days before Christmas! So, I had resigned myself to looking like a chipmunk in pictures and eating mash potatoes for a few days.
So, on Dec 23^rd, I went in. The surgery took maybe an hour, hour and half max. They gave me an intravenous drip, so I was pretty much knocked out the whole time. When I came to, I was very disoriented and really tired. Got home (with the help of a friend) and proceeded to take 3 tylenols. Woke up around 9 pm later that day and was starving, so I ate some oatmeal, not in too much pain but that could be because of the 3 tylenols I took earlier.
The next morning, I woke up, went into the bathroom and noticed a slight swelling and had some pain but nothing a few OTC painkillers couldnt handle (I still have the full bottle of oxycoton he prescribed me, didn’t need it once). And I had moved on up to eating rice and sandwiches.
So come Christmas morning, I look in the mirror. No swelling! And there was no pain (unless I bit down really hard). None of the horror stories that I hear from my friends who said they were swelling for 3 – 5 days and couldnt eat. Dr. Su’s skills are impressive and I highly recommend him.
