Dr. Bernadette Wilson, DDS

Dr Wilson has taken over my surgery case. I was injured in an accident. She is the perfect combination of no nonsense and compassion. I wish all doctors could be more like her. I usually don't feel confident w doctors but w her I feel confident.

I would highly recommend going to anybody else for wisdom teeth removal. She does not stitch , so I developed dry sockets within the a week of the surgery and later an infection. She did not believe that I had an infection, so she avoided prescribing antibiotics to me and instead gave me this paste that tasted like cloves and did little to alleviate the pain. After 2 more weeks of this, I finally got the antibiotics from my dentist, and my condition improved. Overall, though, the process was miserable and took much longer than necessary compared to anyone else that I know who has gotten their wisdom teeth out.

I have never been exposed to such callous, disrespectful, and virtually, compassion-less care as I have with Dr. Wilson and her staff (whom she must train in her own cruel image and likeness). Dr. Wilson extracted my two lower left teeth, one a root canal and the other, a large crown. Both were done at my request, because of constant re-infections. Having had four previous root canal extractions, upper and lower, on my right side (with no problem, a week apart) a month earlier (from another dentist whom was not able to fit me into his schedule with the remaining teeth), I, unfortunately, sought dental surgery from Wilson. She pulled my two teeth in less than 30 minutes, with no stitching (as I had with my previous extractions). This lack of dental surgical care resulted in two dry sockets, including jagged, exposed jawbone, and I cannot even begin to describe the level of severe and unrelenting pain it caused me! When I called the office a week after surgery (it was over Christmas weekend), I was told to come in, and fully expected Wilson to examine her botched surgery. Instead, one of her assistants gave me a syringe of cloves, and sent me home. That was it! No inspection by Wilson, who never had the courtesy or professionalism to examine her mistakes, nor did she call me once to see how I was! Never one call of concern-not one! I felt she basically didn’t give a damn! She got her money and that was that! I ended up having to go to urgent care because of such incredible pain; and when they couldn’t help me, I went to a wonderful dentist in Bigfork who was kind enough-and compassionate enough-to pack both dry sockets for me two weeks in a row (although I was not even his patient). In addition, he even advocated on my behalf by calling Wilson’s office, and asked why my extractions were not stitched? (to which he was told, “we do not stitch here.”) Concerned over my painful and unhealed exposed jawbone (which had become infected), he referred me to a periodontist for further surgery and “stitching”. Thank God for the help from these two professional and kind-hearted dentists, who helped me to heal from Wilson’s butcher job. Nine weeks later, my gum and jaw are still healing, and still cause me pain. I cannot warn you enough about staying away from this “sociopathic” surgeon who hides behind her professionalism to inflict pain on unsuspecting patients like myself.
