Northside Oral Surgery

Like Gerald said billing nightmare. I was approved for care credit and was told I could get a 10% discount as a poor college student with no insurance, but when time came around, I didn’t get the discount for getting 5 teeth removed even after talking to Dr. Whiteside. I was told that I was reminded over the phone, but definitely wasn’t. So then I was rushed to get the money. Never have I had to pay for a good or service that I haven’t received first and that’s what I did under the constraints that I had.
The staff was pleasantly unpleasant. I was completely disregarded and was rudely mistreated. There was no genuine friendlyness.
I had a feeling of doing bad business from the beginning and left with that feeling. That feeling carried over into anesthesia. I felt like I was going to I have a heart attack because I was just boiling inside.
As results go I paid full price for getting ⁵⁄₆ teeth removed. Dr. Whiteside couldn’t extra a tooth and didn’t offer a refund. Dr. Whiteside made it oblivious to me that money was his only incentive and not trying to contribute to society. To me this was a journey of my dream into personal development regardless of money and given one of my worst memories.
Please take your future experience elsewhere.

Having 2 teeth extracted is no ones idea of a great experience. However, Dr. Whitesides and his staff made this pleasant, fast and easy. They were also fun to be around – a real plus considering what you’re there for!
I would recommend this talented group of professionals to anyone.

Sometimes, you gotta do what you gotta do. I was blessed with straight teeth, but to maintain that, it was crucial for me to get all four wisdom teeth removed. My dentist at Brookhaven Dentists recommended and referred me to Northside Oral Surgery, which is coincidentally down the street from my condo.
I had all four wisdom teeth removed at once (they only do extractions in the mornings) and I went ahead and scheduled the one week follow up. They allowed me to pay with my FSA, which was easy as 1−2−3. No paperwork, just a quick signature on the receipt (as an insurance salesperson myself, I highly recommend it). The extraction was very quick (according to my driver), and the doctor and the hygienist both made me feel comfortable, as I’m sure they could tell I was nervous. Thank god for laughing gas. Right after the procedure, they walked me to a dim waiting area where I gradually woke up from the anesthesia (I remember there being Netflix and Gilmore Girls. Both 5 star in my book, unless it was just a anesthesia-​induced dream).
They ask your driver to wait the entire time in the waiting room without food (drinks are allowed). Also, free wifi available for those waiting. In a blur, I picked up my prescriptions at Kroger (I’m guessing my driver arranged that while they had me put under, since I did not) and got home within 2 hours of the surgery. The office provided me with gauze for my bloody wounds and a couple pens and highlighters (useful giveaways, I guess).
My one week follow up was short and sweet. They explained why I was still having a dull pain in my jaw (having trouble opening my mouth wide), due to some scar tissue back there. The hygienist also showed me how to rinse out the holes in my mouth (well, there was really only one hole, thank goodness, as the other one stayed stitched shut nicely) with a syringe and cute little dentist mirror, which they let me keep.
Overall, Northside Oral Surgery made what could have been a painful and miserable experience as painless as surgery could possibly be. On top of that, they were located painfully close to where I live, so I couldn’t object to the convenience. Hopefully I never have to go back, but if I were ever in need of oral surgery again in the future, I would recommend Dr. Whitesides for the work.
