Charles P Silvia Jr, DDS, MD

On the recommendation of my dentist, I went to Dr. Silvia to have my wisdom teeth extracted. This was several years ago, but there’s no statute of limitations for providing a poor review for a mistake of this magnitude.
Prior to the procedure, the nurse asked how much I weigh. I told her that I don’t have a scale at home & didn’t know, but I thought that it was somewhere around 105 or 110 (Turns out I weigh 111). But, instead of weighing me, she just said «Okay.» It wasn’t okay when I woke up DURING THE EXTRACTION because she apparently lowballed on the general anesthetic. Even less okay was that, instead of stopping the extraction, Dr. Silvia continued to extract my last wisdom tooth with no anesthetic whatsoever & despite my screams, muffled by the padding stuffed in my mouth. My legs were strapped to the chair & I was a little fuzzy, but if I could’ve jumped out of the chair & run out of there, I would have. If I had any substantial legal damages (unfortunately, a few minutes of even such severe pain doesn’t constitute damages worth suing), I also would have sued.
Avoid Dr. Silvia at all costs! At the very least, insist they weigh you right then & there if you don’t know your weight on the nose.

Dr Silvia is the best. I did some research in the area and most dentists in the area recommended him and its clear why they do. I went to him for wisdom teeth extractions and couldn’t be happier with the result. I don’t remember any of it (a good sign) but I haven’t had any complications thus far. He is very knowledgeable and approachable. Its clear to me that he knows what he is doing and has years and years of experience in the field. They had to reschedule my appointment because of the freezing weather but Dr. Silvia offered to squeeze my procedure in on a very busy day since only had 2 days in which I could have the procedure done.
His office staff is extremely friendly and very accommodating when scheduling appointments. Stop your search for a oral surgeon now and just go see Dr. Silvia. I guarantee you will be as satisfied as I was!
