  • "I chose Dr. Dorfman for my daughter's wisdom teeth removal after interacting with him on a professional basis. As an NP in an Peds ER I sometimes have to call other specialities to ask questions or provide patient follow up. Dr. Dorfman was always so helpful and pleasant to speak to on the phone. I knew that when I directed patients to his office they would be well taken care of. He provided that same care when taking care of my daughter. "

  • "Dr. Dorfman and his staff were excellent. Hearing the words "extract" and "impacted" originally scared me when the x-rays(which fascinates me because it was a 3D version, showing the mandible, maxilla, and all the teeth.) showed I needed to get my third molars, or wisdom teeth removed. I was shown a video and the procedure was broke down. Afterwards I had a quick, painless recovery. Being in the hands of Mary, Ralph, Dr. Dorfman, and the rest of his staff, there was no need to worry. They made feel comfortable from the moment I walked in the door. I was definitely recommend Dr. Dorfman to all of my friends and family."

  • "The nurses were very friendly and talkative which was very nice for me since I've never had a procedure done before, the doctor was also friendly and took the time to explain things to me. Also they were patient with me, since I talk so much :)"

  • Wisdom teeth

     

    Wisdom Teeth and Dental Instruments | Brian Dorfman | Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon | Anthem, AZ

     

    Are we smarter if we keep our wisdom teeth? I don’t know about that, but “wisdom teeth,” or the third molars, usually come in at early adulthood, or when we enter the “age of wisdom.” Third molars can be impacted or never come down. Sometimes they erupt or come down, but there is usually not room...
