Well where do I start? Dr. Edward Gottesman is perhaps the best dentist I have ever come across. I was most interested in lip lowering (a pretty specialized procedure) and both my parents are periodontists so you can imagine how much research I did before hand. However, I must say that I’m so so happy that I came to visit Dr. Gottesman and Perio NYC™ all the way from Dubai, UAE. After a 12 hour airplane ride all I can say is that it was worth it! I had both CROWN LENGTHENING and LIP LOWERING procedures done at the same time by Dr. Gottesman. This was of course due to the fact I flew in for the procedure with my husband and time was limited, not to mention that the clinic were very helpful in accommodating our travel plans with short notice. I had both procedures done in the same morning, after an extensive question and answer session and comforting discussion with Dr. Gottesman I felt so relaxed and all the nerves just seemed to disappear.
We started at 9am and both procedures were completed in a matter of hours with very minimal discomfort. After the local anastesia I felt no pain at all, and following the procedure I was fine. With a combination of antibiotics and pain killers I was out having dinner the same night with my husband. Aside from a slightly modified diet of softer foods, my mouth was pretty much healed in a week. Perhaps what stood out most of all, aside from the excellent technical ability, was the extra attention that Dr. Gottesman and his team gave me; for me that really stood out. They called and emailed to see if I was fine, and Dr. Gottesman even called the same evening just to make sure I was alright. Before visiting Dr. Gottesman I wasn’t happy with my smile, I had a gummy smile, now thanks to Dr. Gottesman and Perio NYC™ that’s all in the past. Its been over three weeks since the procedure and I’m loving my smile and there have been no complications at all. I was a bit worried about my lip or nose getting affected, actually everything looks great and completely natural when I laugh and smile. Thank you Dr. Gottesman! We hope to see you in Dubai soon!
