The prospect of oral surgery is daunting on any patient, but Dr.Bassem really makes you feel at ease. I had all of my wisdom teeth removed by him, and I am pleased to say it was a great experience. I was scared for no reason! His bedside manner is unmatched by any Doctor I have ever seen (and I work with Doctor's for a living!) He's very sweet, caring and funny. If I ever need more dental work (which I hope I don't!) Dr.Bassem is who I would feel the safest with. My recovery is going great, and I barely touched my pain meds!
