I recently experienced an urgent need for oral surgery. An upper central incisor snapped-off at the gum line, causing me considerable discomfort. My dentist said the remainder of the broken tooth needed to be extracted by an oral surgeon. Based on my past experience of having a wisdom tooth quickly and painlessly extracted by Dr. Cooperband, two of my adult daughters having similar very positive experiences with his wisdom tooth extractions, and my wife's having had a very successful experience with Dr. Cooperband's tooth implant procedure, I phoned his office to explain my dilemma. I explained things to his receptionist, & not five minutes later, Dr. Cooperband phoned me. He sounded compassionate and understanding & asked that I elaborate on what had happened & how it had left me feeling. He then asked that I give him a chance to check his schedule. Most gratefully, an hour later the procedure was done and healing began!!! What a terrific doctor and person!
