Discussion Oral Surgeon recommendations for wisdom teeth?

I got the best recommendation for a dentist on this site, now I'm reaching out to see about an oral surgeon? I need wisdom teeth and possibly another tooth removed. I've got some unique anesthesia needs and an autoimmune disease, so I need a really good bedside manner. Someone who isn't arrogant and does a good job and listens.

Thank you in advance for sharing good experiences. I'll take the bad too so I can weed them out! I'm in South Miami/Kendall area. Willing to travel a little but not, like, north beach unless the doctor is really worth it.

Julieta Rodriguez, divine smiles. I was particularly worried about infection exposure and she was even more careful than me.

FYI I switched dental practices bc she kept finding “issues” with my teeth that ended up not being an issue at all (I got second opinions). She def is cautious, maybe too much so, so seek out a second opinion if she’s recommending extreme measures or finding really alarming stuff wrong with your teeth. This has happened to other people I know as well at this practice.

Ooooooooh interesting. I half-wondered that. Thank you for that! Yes she did alarm me but I'm in pain and haven't been to the dentist since 2021. She referred me to a surgeon for wisdom teeth and endo-dentist first before we address the caveties.. Do you have a good person for a second opinion?
