DOES YOUR ORAL SURGEON HAVE THE GOLD SEAL? Only ONE oral and maxillofacial surgery practice in New England does. In fact, only thirty five OMS practices in the entireU.S. have become accredited by the Joint Commission for office-based surgery, the same organization that certifies hospitals and many ambulatory surgical centers nationwide.
Why does this matter? For OMS practices, this is entirely VOLUNTARY, and subjects us to many of the same rigorous standard that hospitals use. We take your care and safety seriously, and want you to be assured that our care meets the highest standards.
All of our doctors are graduates of both medical and dental schools, a first for any group OMS practice in Maine, and are certified to provide anesthesia for your comfort and convenience. We provide care for patients of all ages, and gladly accept many insurance plans.
Our doctors and staff look forward to showing you what sets our practice apart.
Rest assured...quality care with compassion is our promise to you.
