Our experience with Dr. Erakat and the entire team at Prestige Oral Surgery was exceptional.
My daughter had been experiencing excruciating pain, headaches, and numbness/tingling due to one of her wisdom teeth being very close to a facial nerve. After a CT scan, her regular dentist referred us to Dr. Erakat for further evaluation. Naturally, we were extremely anxious about the possibility of nerve damage and the complexity of the procedure.
During our consultation, Dr. Erakat took the time to thoroughly explain the situation, discuss the risks, and answer all of our questions. What gave us tremendous confidence was his calm demeanor, extensive experience, and honesty. He shared that in over 25 years of practice, he had never encountered a serious nerve injury case and felt confident that my daughter could safely have all four wisdom teeth removed at the same time.
The surgery was scheduled for Monday, June 8th, and as a mother, I was incredibly nervous. We were told the procedure could take 30–60 minutes, but it was completed much more quickly than expected. When Dr. Erakat came out to speak with us, his words were unforgettable: “It was much better than I expected. There is absolutely no risk to the nerve, and the surgery went very well.”
The relief I felt in that moment was overwhelming. I actually broke down in tears and thanked him.
I would also like to recognize Renisha, Christina, and Dina, who were incredibly kind, compassionate, and supportive throughout the entire process. They carefully explained all post-operative instructions and provided a detailed booklet that made recovery much easier to manage.
Although it took a few days for my daughter to recover, we have been amazed by how well she has healed. The pain resolved, the nerve concerns disappeared, and her recovery has exceeded our expectations.
Dr. Erakat is not only highly skilled and experienced, but he also genuinely cares about his patients. We are deeply grateful to him and his entire team and would recommend Prestige Oral Surgery without hesitation to anyone needing oral surgery care.
