This is for the Clinton/Lebanon Office - Oral-Maxillofacial: Efron Joel DDS
Was recommended by my Dentist in Fleminton, NJ whom I trust 100%. I will be honest in saying that I was a bit hesistant after reading the negative reviews on other websites, but really glad I went. I requested general anesthesia because he was removing two middle teeth from the bottom, remnant of a crown and cavity from tooth that popped in four pieces from getting a granola stuck in there. Not an easy situation in my opinion.
Dr. Efron's staff was kind, patient and understanding since I was 20 minutes late for surgery. I was even more nervous because of that but the front desk receptionists out front were smiling up until I went in for surgery. My xray was on a large screen and the assistants took my care very seriously. As they were prepping me for surgery, every move made on me was explained beforehand and during procedure. Dr. Efron is serious about his dentistry too and after making sure I was comfortable, he continued in the same manner. Even when the laughing gas was making me sky high, before administering the general, I could see numerous people moving about to support the job that was done in an hour. I woke up slowly by a nice assistant who welcomed me from the beginning and helped escort me to the waiting room where I had to be chauffered home and attended to for 24 hours. They discussed all care and concerns with him (my dad) because I overheard her say, she won't remember and needs rest. I followed all instructions in a booklet that covered any and all concerns and felt only slight discomfort. I had no bleeding at all that evening (surgery was at 12 noon), and the numerous gauze pads they supplied me with are only 1/4 used. This was yesterday, and its 1:26pm the next afternoon and I had broiled flounder (its soft) and soft avocado for lunch about 30 minutes ago. Eating slowly and making sure to not use the areas where the stitches are. What really impressed me was that Dr. Efron called me personally, at 12noon exactly 24 hrs from surgery to see how I was doing. Very cordial and kind of him to take the time since his practice is very busy. He even asked me if I had any questions, which I did, and if I had anymore to call him at any time. No need for stitch removal because they dissolve. Back to my regular dentist for follow up to get a bridge. Think I will have a tapioca pudding for dessert and then rinse with dead sea salt from Israel which is completely pleasant than table salt which makes you gag and leaves a nasty taste. I will go back if I need to in the future. Thank you Dr. Efron and staff, well done!
Everyone on the staff is extremely nice and helpful. I had one and then three wisdom teeth pulled with very little discomfort or swelling. Dr. Effron called the next day to check on me. They have a very good professional reputation. I know that I'm under the care of an expert. The office was very easy to locate. I didn't have any trouble finding it at all. Not only do my appointments never get canceled last minute, they take time out of their day to send me a reminder so I don't forget. They are extremely reliable. They explained all the risks and benefits of my treatment options. Everything was explained in detail, all my questions were answered, and I felt a lot better about choosing a treatment plan. I was completely at ease during my appointment here. They went to great lengths to make sure I was completely relaxed and comfortable the entire time.
