“Extremely Satisfied Patient”

I have been in terrible pain in my jaw for well over a year. Dr. Olin saw me as an emergency patient and did extensive oral surgery. He diagnosed the problem and explained it to me clearly and in a way I would understand. Dr. Olin was very gentle and continued to check on me during the surgery.I would recommend Dr. Olin for any kind of Dental Surgery . I am so happy that my problem is finally solved,

“I feel so fortunate to be able to have the incredible team of Dr.Berger and his staff rebuilding my face and my smile. They all are nothing less than my immense heros ! I literally love them all !”

Coming into Dr Berger's office to get a complete facial rebuild including prosthetic jaw joint, 6 separate bone grafts, cutting and relocating mandible , removing previous plates and screws, 20 tooth implants, cosmetic relocating of my ear post jaw implant and more that I cant recall.......
The road getting to Dr Berger's was treacherous. Once finally here I felt home, I had landed where I needed to be,
completely comfortable and confident. Simply , in the hands of the very BEST !

He cared about me, and about my follow-up care, connecting me with another specialist to help me after i heal from this major surgery. I highly recomend this skillful, caring Dr!

Dr. Thayer,

From the minute I met him helped ease me into the what was going on and was 100% fully transparent and helped me understand the procedure that we were about to go through.

On sept 17th i fractured my cheek bone and I have never fractured a bone in my face.. so you can imagine I was very worried. Dr. Thayer's professional skills helped put my bones back together and his ability to walk me through the post procedure and follows ups have been extremely helpful! Thank you Dr. Thayer!

“Compassionate caring skilled Dr”

Dr Olin is the best. Explained everything in detail, alleviated all my fears. Surgery went great, I'm healing wonderfully. So glad he used the exparel for post-op pain. He also uses the collagen to prevent dry-socket. Both these options are so worth the extra money to prevent post-op pain and dry socket. I'm on day 4 day and almost all healed up with no post-op problems at all, and I had 5 teeth removed !! I'd recommend him in a heartbeat. Trusted him completely.

“Great Experience!”

Had the good fortune of being referred to this office and had the consult with Dr Dentico-Olin. Prior to this consult, I did meet with other oral surgeons and wasn't comfortable with other offices. I was really, really nervous about this procedure but felt very comfortable after meeting with Dr Olin and scheduled the procedure same day that I met with him for the consult. I was comfortable because he explained my options, his recommendation, and listened to my concerns.

broke my jaw in several places in a gnarly wipeout. Dr. Olin worked on me diligently from performed a brilliant reconstruction of my jaw into the early hours of the morning. My healing process was quick and Dr.Olin was very supportive throughout. The reconstruction he performed was a top level orthopedic procedure. I cant say enough good things about Dr. OLin and I appreciate him very much! Excellent Excellent surgeon

“Highly skilled and professional”

After a cycling accident where I flipped over my handlebars smashing my front teeth, fracturing my upper jaw, Dr. Olin was the surgeon who operated the night of my accident, stablizing my upper jaw and putting my teeth back into place. I was impressed with his skill, professionalism. He explained everything to me before surgery and follow up visits were also explained. I felt very comfortable with everything. The office staff is also very professional . I would highly recommend Dr. Olin.

“Inspires confidence, relieves worry”

When Dr. Olin walks in the room you feel like you have the A team on your side. He's careful not to over-promise. But in my experience with him, none of the possible complications he described happened. And that's what one wants: no surprises.
Every time I have been operated on by Dr.s Berger, Thayer and Olin, now 5 times, have been successful. I have a chronic bone infection from diabetes which has weakened my jaw.

Because of these doctors, I am alive, and can eat normally.

From the first appointment with Dr. Thayer I knew I was in very capable and caring hands. He went over every detail as he developed my treatment plan. Sarah and Cindy the Surgical Techs were also friendly and efficient. Esme, the Insurance and Surgical Coordinator went out of her way to accommodate my schedule with surgery dates.

Dr. Berger got me after my previous specialist destroyed my mouth. I honestly don't know how he's been able to fix this, but he is a perfectionist, and someone you want on your team if you need any kind of implants, or other surgeries needed.

His staff are kind, hard working, and amazing as well. If you want something done right, go to the best. Dr. Berger is the best, and I am so grateful he was able to restore my mouth.

I had a surgery that was pretty profound. 5 of my upper teeth including one in the front were gone due to pulling or accident. I was confidant i chose the right man for the job. Dr. Berger is very good at everything even the very tiniest detail. Surgery was a breeze plus he placed a gum graph from my mouth to the front, making it look so fabulous in my mouth. I did not have any pain-ever. 3 cheers for Dr. Berger! i feel fantastic!

I went through double jaw surgery, bilateral jaw joint replacement and genioplasty for a severe overbite. Dr. Berger and his staff are truly talented. I am so grateful that I can breathe better and chew on both sides. I am so happy I went through with this surgery. I have all of the feeling in my face and my nerves have completely healed. My quality of life has improved dramatically. The surgery also improved my side profile and appearance.
