I seriously want him for every surgery that I have no matter where it is, because I am so satisfied with how he treated me. He has now taken care of me for both of my wisdom teeth extractions, and whatever cocktail of meds he used, i just feel so relaxed after. usually with anyone else, its the nausea and just agitated, right now, i am just so relaxed, and he honestly listened to me knowing that I have alot of experience with my medications, and I kind of know what works, and he listened, and then used his knowledge, and did a superior amazing job. let me tell you.... having a flu shot... has been more painfull than getting these wisdom teeth out. How crazy is that???? My arm still hurts from that needle being in there for like 4 seconds, and the iv was in for over 2 hours + and I feel NOTHING. Gods Blessing!

Also, i have a GREAT oral surgeon that takes care of me with my wisdom teeth and other stuff. He is in Beverly Hills, and I live in Orange county and was like 1/2 the price of everytone here in the OC, and does impecible amazing work that I can not say enough good stuff about. And to top it off his staff every single one of them are so helpful welcoming and knowledgable! love!

Also, a general dentist in beverly hills that i go to that takes care of my RSD so incredibly well. I have never had a bad bad flare up like i have with the other 10 dentists I have tried. Whatever she does, she does it wisely and smart! If I ever needed any root canals or anything i really would consider getting Dr. Chen to come and take care of me while I have it done... love the way he cares about his patients.

And let me tell you, the first time I have EVER had an IV in my right arm... AND... i didnt feel a thing. Literally, all I felt was the tournaquet, and I watch them put the iv into me every time, and this time, I felt NOTHING. I want to hire him to go with me every time that I need to have a k infusion to put my iv in. I dont know what he did, but whatever he did, he did it right. I dont even feel the pain from the IV right now, which is WEIRD, because usually for 4-6 days i am sitting with heat packs on my arms from the iv being so painful.

Just a great experience, and wanted to let you guys know that dentistry with RSD does not have to be as painful when we are taken care of by the right people. I used to be terrified of dentistry from being treated so horribly, and now that I am in safe hands I KNOW that I wont be hurt again. this was a HUGE step forward from me from the horrible dentistry I have gotten.

let me know if anyone would like their numbers and names and contact information... they are wonderful- I can NOT say enough good things about them-they have totally changed my outlook on dentistry and rsd, and knowing I can have my teeth taken care of with only paying a small price not a massive one like I used to- I used to get almost anxiety attacks going to the dentist and now, I am relaxed going in because I know I am taken care of! its a rare feeling that I LOVE!!! And I want it to share with all you that live in SO California. Please feel free to ask, and get your teeth taken care of from doctors who have wonderful loving hearts.
