My dentist referred me to Dr. Jose F. Lazaro, an Oral Surgeon. My tooth had broken off with the crown, leaving the roots hanging down–a very complicated extraction. From the time I made the appointment until I was discharged with 2 pages of careful instructions–the entire extraction process was seamless. Dr. Lazaro has 32 years of experience, and it shows with his expertise and attention to detail. What was most striking to my 1st visit ever with an oral surgeon–arriving with much pain and anxiety–was the calm and comforting demeanor of the entire staff. My anxiety melted away with their soft voices and compassionate care. I felt that I was in the very capable hands of an expert oral surgeon–Dr. Jose Lazaro. The dental assistant was kind and efficient. I would highly recommend Dr. Jose F. Lazaro and his very capable staff for any of your oral surgery and implant needs. Michelle C. Fellows
