I went through double jaw surgery, bilateral jaw joint replacement and genioplasty for a severe overbite. Dr. Berger and his staff are truly talented. I am so grateful that I can breathe better and chew on both sides. I am so happy I went through with this surgery. I have all of the feeling in my face and my nerves have completely healed. My quality of life has improved dramatically. The surgery also improved my side profile and appearance.

I have very high and exacting standards and was amazed and astonished when Dr. Berger not only met them, but exceeded them. He cares, take all the needed time and most importantly, explains everything he will doing which to me, is extremely important. I am not one to write reviews, but when someone can provide great care to others, the word needs to get out. Thanks for reading. Stan Eyler

I had a surgery that was pretty profound. 5 of my upper teeth including one in the front were gone due to pulling or accident. I was confidant i chose the right man for the job. Dr. Berger is very good at everything even the very tiniest detail. Surgery was a breeze plus he placed a gum graph from my mouth to the front, making it look so fabulous in my mouth. I did not have any pain-ever. 3 cheers for Dr. Berger! i feel fantastic!
“fabulous! beyond measure! so greatful to all at Dr. Berger's.”

Dr. Berger got me after my previous specialist destroyed my mouth. I honestly don't know how he's been able to fix this, but he is a perfectionist, and someone you want on your team if you need any kind of implants, or other surgeries needed. His staff are kind, hard working, and amazing as well. If you want something done right, go to the best. Dr. Berger is the best, and I am so grateful he was able to restore my mouth.

I noticed Gab and Nicole at the front desk always had a smile and a friendly hello for each patient arriving for treatment. From the first appointment with Dr. Thayer I knew I was in very capable and caring hands. He went over every detail as he developed my treatment plan. Sarah and Cindy the Surgical Techs were also friendly and efficient. Esme, the Insurance and Surgical Coordinator went out of her way to accommodate my schedule with surgery dates. I highly reccommend Dr. Thayer and staff.
