East Tennessee Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Drs. Trondson and Widlowski
I had a consultation with Dr. Trondson. He’s a big guy, but was very warm, friendly, and compassionate and tried to set me at ease when he saw I was upset and nervous.
I ended up having Dr. Widlowski perform the extraction of my wisdom teeth. He was the first available when I finally got up the nerve to do the surgery. The consultation went well. He really set me at ease by telling me that the extractions (all four) were going to be quite simple. No one had told me that before. In fact, my dentist had told me my wisdom teeth were impacted and my roots were all slanted under the other molars. It really made me scared to have them removed. I can’t recall what Trondson told me, but it apparently didn’t make me feel ready to have them pulled, because I put it off another year or two after that visit.
So Dr. Widlowski assured me that it would be a piece of cake and would only take a few minutes per tooth. I came in a couple days later for the surgery. I had general anesthesia. Everything went well, other than some gum infection I had, which wasn’t his fault. I waited too long to have the teeth removed and it was infected when I went in for extraction. The extraction sites actually had almost zero pain. They also healed quickly. I was very impressed with his skills. Would definitely recommend him to anyone seeking oral surgery. Everyone in our town goes to Dr. McCord. I’m sure he’s great, but you can get general anesthesia at ETOS. You can only have twilight sedation with McCord. I had put this surgery off for TEN years, thinking it was going to be a nightmare. I wish I had done it long ago. It was so simple and painless for me. Thank you, Dr. Widlowski. You’re the best. Dr. Trondson was also very kind and I really liked him.
