5 /5 Jack Rink: I am 24 hours past having a premolar extracted and bone graft socket emplaced by Dr. Claussen. I havent had a tooth extracted for 47 years and have never had oral surgery. To say the least, I was nervous. Dr. Claussen came in and greeted me by name and settled me in by finding out that I had asked for my prescription to be called in. After giving the local anesthesia and letting me know that we needed to wait for it to take effect, Dr. Claussen personally electronically sent in my prescriptions and informed me that it was confirmed that the pharmacy had received them. This gave me great peace of mind for the post-surgery caretime. Dr. Claussen worked seamlessly with his assistants and had the tooth out in less than two minutes, and he let me know that it was out, very good to know. And he kept me informed during the procedure as to what he was doing, and how much more time would be needed when he was closing up the gum over the bone graft socket. It was all handled perfectly professionally and with a great outcome so far. All of his office staff were friendly and knowledgable. Both of his assistants Brie and Natalie were super before, during and after the surgery, accomodating several special requests, including the one to save my tooth for me so that I could donate if for use in a scientific lab that my Professor colleague runs. The assistants even came out to inform my wife in the early stages how and what was going on. So far the pain medications that were prescribed are working great and I am confident I will be able to keep the wound clean and hope for the best for the bone graft to take. In the leadup to the surgery I contacted the office staff to get a long-term view of all of the steps in getting a dental implant that I would have to take, including those that I must arrange for outside of Dr. Claussens care. I received a very authoritative email from an office staff person outlining in clear detail, with names of the procedures, of the entire process. Overall, I can unreservedly recommend Dr. Claussen and his staff to anyone.
