I have been a patient of Dr. Kevin Jeworski since 2011 and am convinced that he is an extraordinary surgeon at peak performance. Since I am not qualified to issue professional judgments in the field of dental surgery, I will limit my review to personal observations as a patient.
My overarching feeling when stepping into Dr. Jeworski’s office is that no matter how serious my problems are, I will be in good hands.
Every consultation for a new treatment starts with a Dental Form containing my dental/medical history and other legally required information or consent. Recently, this form has been converted to a software form that is conveniently filled out online. A panoramic X-ray imaging of the mouth follows, using state-of-the-art equipment capable of making precision 3-D measurements.
Using a large computer display, Dr. Jeworski shows the problems and discusses the possible treatment alternatives toward issuing a Treatment Plan in agreement with my general dentist and myself. I appreciate Dr. Jeworski’s answering all my questions, including the risks, worst-case scenarios, and “Plan B” solutions.
In the end, I get the Treatment Plan with a List of Procedures, Code Numbers, and prices in printed form. What I find particularly important for this office is that the prices come predetermined from a computer, not from the doctor’s ad hoc impression of the patient's appearance, speaking accent, etc.
As a brief illustration of Dr. Jeworski’s outstanding surgeon mastery, he recently cut a dental cantilever bridge in my mouth and extracted two large teeth, cleaned the area all the way to the jaw bone (I could sense the vibration of the electric saw and metal scrubber, but did not feel any pain), inserted bone replacement grafts for ridge preservation at each of the extracted teeth, and sewed back the opened area with surgical thread, handling the sewing needle with a pair of tweezers like a magician – everything in 20 minutes after the local anesthesia took effect! Throughout those minutes, Dr. Jeworski informed me several times of the percentage of the remaining process to be done. In the end, he checked the results with a second panoramic X-ray. My tooth bleeding stopped before I got home, and I was out of the pain discomfort with only one or two pain reliever pills.
The above procedure was followed in a couple of months by three implants with equally outstanding mastery. During both sessions, Dr. Jeworski was assisted by his surgery assistant Donna (the same in at least 12 years!), who knows patients by their names and knows what to do, from taking panoramic X-rays to specific surgery assistance tasks with the doctor only requesting, by numbers, the drill bits he needed! This is a remarkable record of support continuity and consistency.
The front desk staff has been fluctuating throughout the years, with a recently observed trend of stabilization. They can make occasional bookkeeping or calculation errors, but there is always rigorous financial super-control. One time, I was overcharged by a negligible amount and got a reimbursement check in the mail before even noticing the error, if ever.
Dr. Jeworsky called me personally two times after each surgery to check if everything was OK, which impressed me.
Besides all the above, Dr. Jeworski is a pleasant person to talk with, most typically to listen to when I am in the surgery chair and cannot speak! I even learned from him during such one-way interactions. The first teaching that comes to my mind is “The Enemy of Good is Perfect,” a classical phrase from Voltaire that I had forgotten or never known.
My wife is a patient of Dr. Jeworski, too. She feels much encouraged by the doctor’s appreciation after the surgery procedure: “You’ve been brave.”
