St. Louis South Oral And Maxillofacial Surgery, Inc.

I was seen by Dr. Hribernik for a serious infection on a referral and was seen the day of the call by the referring Dr. I had the necessary wisdom tooth extraction done the very next day, starting the road to recovery. If you need hugs and hot cocoa from your doctor office this may not satisfy but if you want stalwart medical/dental attention Dr. Hribernik can do the trick and do it with professional courtesy.

Please don't go here if you value your life. Dr Gray is terribly uncaring and almost killed my husband by not treating an infection after he took out his wisdom teeth. He told us we should simply see our regular doctor and if it gets worse go to the ER. He could have just given antibiotics then (this was 5 days after surgery). Long story short, 9 days after surgery my husband is at the ER getting a CT done which showed an abscess dangerously next to his brain. He was also septic at this time. So he had an emergency surgery done after he was stabilized. We are now at almost a year later, still paying our $5000 hospital bill, and he has jaw popping and still has nerve damage and a numb lip from it. The problem is the Dr Gray honestly acted rude, condescending and said "jokingly" he hoped he'd never see us again. Oh, I forgot, they also overdosed him on anesthesia and basically accused him of being a drug user because he is so sensitive to medications. He blacked out on nitrous (you aren't supposed to black out) and it took him SIX HOURS before he was awake and able to talk to me. They used 2 smelling salts on him there to try to wake him up. I cannot stay quiet about this anymore. It has bothered me a lot over the last year and I think an elderly or immunocompromised individual would have died from this deviation from the standard of care. By the time we were at day 8 (right before hospital visit) I phoned my regular dentist who called in antibiotics. It was too late by that time, but obvious to me that was the needed course of action (in case you had any doubts). I cannot keep silent any longer, I would feel awful if someone dies from his lack of post op care and I never said I knew there was a problem. Google the guy and you'll see a few other people are speaking out too. His procedyre was at the South County location, but I'll post here as well because Festus people don't need to die.
