I came to Alexandria Oral Surgery to get a tooth extracted. To be honest with you, I think Dr. Fred Smith made me feel a little bit at ease. I don't care about going to the dentist or doctors, but for some reason, I just felt at ease coming here with Dr. Smith. He and his staff just made me feel welcome. The procedure wasn't that bad; I only guess because I was knocked out — I don't remember it. He took me back in the back room. Me and my wife showed up, and next thing I know, I was walking out the back door and went home. By lunch time that day — I believe it was 7:30 that morning — and pretty much at lunch time that evening, I was ready to do whatever I needed to do. The pain beforehand, I couldn't stand it. I couldn't stand to drink; I couldn't stand to eat. My head was hurting. I couldn't handle it anymore. I felt really blessed to find him.--Jeff
