I went to see Dr. Waring for a gum graft, and he was nothing short of spectacular. He and his staff are very friendly and understanding. Apparently the latest, most modern technique in gum grafting is to use cadaver tissue (I know it sounds icky) instead of taking tissue from the roof of the patient's own mouth. The old, roof-of-the-mouth way is said to be extremely painful, at least according to my wife and my boss. Both of them also said it would hurt to eat for more than a week. Dr. Waring confirmed that, and said that the recovery period using the old method was in excess of a week, but using the cadaver tissue the recovery period was a few hours. Not being a masochist, I opted for the cadaver tissue, and got amazing results. I never had to use the pain pills, and was back eating normal food the very next day. (I had soup for dinner just to be on the safe side.) After a few weeks, the new tissue look just like my own, and now I can't even tell the difference. I would highly recommend Dr. Waring to anyone who needs periodontal work.

I know this doctor: 3 months
