My daughter, 24, had to have her wisdom teeth out and she had to find a surgeon as she had recently moved to Colorado. She luckily choose Dr. Hildebrandt and she couldn't have been more fortunate. From the first call to the office, where the receptionist was sympathetic to her pain, to the two nurses who sat at her sides and held her hands, to the Dr.'s expertise and compassion she was obviously in the right place. In fact, he didn't try to pressure or sell her on having the surgery. He told her the way the wisdom teeth were coming in, they wouldn't affect her bite (after having orthodontic work) - but that she would probably continue having occasional infections around the wisdom teeth . She decided to get it over with. She has extreme anxiety with anything medical, being extremely healthy and never even having a cavity filled! Dr. Hildebrandt called the night of the surgery, and when she experienced some other weird medical concerns a few days later, he so kindly talked to my husband and me and then Shelby to ease her fears. Then he called her again today, just to check in. Our daughter wishes he was a general practice physician so she could go his office for everything. In fact, she said if she ever needs oral surgery again, and she moves away, she would fly to Colorado Springs, stay in a hotel and make sure he performed the surgery. Can't give him high enough marks as a knowledgeable doctor and compassionate person.
