Everyone was very polite and welcoming. The Dr. took his time explaining the situation and the options that I had.
I cannot say enough good things about Bay Oral & Facial Surgery. I have significant dental anxiety, and every experience I’ve had here has been kind, reassuring, and genuinely comfortable. The staff are warm, funny, and have a great sense of humor, which makes an enormous difference when you’re nervous about dental work.I’ve now had two procedures here, about a year apart, and both went incredibly smoothly. I live about 1.5 hours away, and I would happily make the three hour round trip again even if I had another option closer to home.This office has become part of the dental team helping me rebuild my comfort and confidence in receiving proper dental care. Feeling safe and genuinely cared for means more to me than I can adequately express, and I’m incredibly grateful to have found them.
Restored My Confidence in Dental Care - Dr. Heitzmann is an exceptional oral surgeon who I cannot recommend highly enough. I have significant dental anxiety and have now had two separate extraction procedures with him, and both were remarkably quick and smooth.My most recent extraction was an upper canine with a very long root and an extreme, almost 90-degree hook at the end. Looking at the tooth afterward, I am amazed that he was able to remove it completely intact and so efficiently. My partner said that particular extraction took only about seven minutes, which is incredible to me considering how unusual the root looks. Even more impressively, I have had virtually no pain since the procedure.Beyond his technical skill, Dr. Heitzmann is kind, funny, and makes me feel genuinely safe despite my dental anxiety. I would gladly drive the three hours, round trip, to continue seeing him. He is helping restore my confidence in receiving dental care, and I am incredibly thankful to have him as part of my dental care team.
Yes, the Staff was nice during check-in. The doctor was exceptionally good at explaining my options and making sure that I understood what he was tellingI have heard good things about him before I went there and his manner and ability to discuss things in a way understood reinforced my feelings that he is the right guy to go to
I needed, which was told to me by several dentist, a very difficult surgery. I chose Dr. Heitzmann to do my surgery and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. He’s very thorough. The staff is wonderful. I think he is an excellent surgeon.My recovery went perfectly and he and his staff were there for me 100% all the way.I have no hesitation, referring him to anyone with needs of any kind of oral surgery.Thank you to Dr. Heitzman and his staff.
