Dr. Jacob Mendenhall, MD

I have went to Dr. Mendenhall three different times for tooth inserts. Dr. Mendenhall and his entire staff are top notch and show that they truly care about their patients. After each tooth extraction and then later the placement of the inserts I felt no pain during or afterwards. No issues with healing or infection. I highly recommend Dr. Mendenhall.

My orthodontist recommended a doctor for oral surgery, and I went for a consultation. However, my mother used Dr. Mendenhall and so I wanted to use him if I was going to consider oral surgery. I called to receive a second opinion and consultation from this doctor. I called my orthodontist and informed them of my decision for a second opinion with the doctor I was interested in. I called Dr. Mendenhall's office and spoke with a sweet lady on the phone who gave me a date for an appointment, in which I wanted to verify with my husband and said I would call back shortly. When I called back, another woman answered the phone and when I tried to accept that appointment she told me she was unable to book any appointment for me unless I tried a TMJ tray first for 6 weeks. I told this woman I had already spoken with someone. She asked me to hold on and then when she came back on, told me that she confirmed that information and I would be required to use the TMJ tray for 6

Dr Mendenhall is your typical arrogant, I am the best surgeon on the planet attitude.Red flag #1 Surgery time stated at "its a standard hour an a half long procedure, but I book for 4 hours. Red flag#2 When asked about complications, he immediately got offended and pompous, stating that was impossible and he refuses to sell unnecessary or unwanted surgery. He's been doing this for 30 years and has never and any complications or complaints. Red flag#3 Then he started deferring all questions and statements to the minor child, saying the mother's concerns and questions were irrelevant. Refused to talk about the possibility of side effects refuse to talk about the possibility of possible side effects complications long-term effects the possibility of jaw relapse the possibility of headaches the possibility of more surgeries. If you can't make a worried mother feel ok and secure how can you be good surgeon. You're not God, get off the"I'm a GOD complex.

It is a pleasure to recommend Dr Jacob Mendenhall and give him, the nurses, and the entire staff 5 Stars. I would give them more if needed. My oral surgery was painless and the staff always answers my call for questions. You will be happy with the professional way you are treated. Cowboy Up
