Hit the Internet
There are more than 9,000 oral surgeons in the United States. So if you don’t have a regular dentist who can recommend an oral surgeon, and friends or family can’t help you out, take advantage of the web.
Lots of sites rate surgeons and their offices. Remember, though, you have to read the patient reviews critically. To one person, someone who’s all-business has no bedside manner. To another, that same professional is great because they are all-business.
Web sites can also give you background on the doctor, too. Education, experience, professional affiliations, and more are probably at your fingertips.
Call your state medical board for more information.
