Tony D Hooker, DDS

I went here to have a tooth extracted a little over a week ago. When I went, the staff was not friendly AT ALL. They seemed a bit clueless… I was asked how many teeth I was having removed!!! That’s something they should have known. I called back today because I’m still having pain and it’s been a while. The lady who answered the phone told me to take advil (because it’s «better than aleve, which is what I’ve been taking) and that the extraction wasn’t the cause of my pain. He asked me to come in a week after surgery, but I refuse to go back there. Everyone is extremely rude and do a horrible job putting you at ease before surgery.
Things Dr. Hooker said in the room:
«Oh this right here is the bad part.»
«I wish you could’ve gone to sleep. This would be a whole lot easier if you were sleepy, but since you aren’t, it’s not going to be.»
«This is a very difficult extraction!»
If you want even a remotely pleasant experience, don’t bother going here. There was a reason the parking lot was empty when I arrived. Should’ve kept the tooth in my mouth.

I am new to the area and looking for an oral surgeon. I found this guy online but found no website for him. If you are getting any type of oral surgery you should be able to go to your surgeon’s website to gather any info on your treatment or get aftercare instructions etc. So I decided to call the office. The girl that answered the phone did so abruptly say Dr Hooker’s office can you hold, and immediately I was on hold in silence… No on hold music, oral surgery info etc… just dead silence. I watched the timer on my phone to see how long before I got a pick up. Almost 5 mins and just about to hang up and she picked back up. I asked nicely if the doctor happened to have a website, she said NO. I said oh okay, now is he a general dentist or. and she said NO he is an oral surgeon. And I said, and no website?, NO! I thanked her and hung up. #1 very unfriendly and unwelcoming. maybe since he doesn’t have a website she could have said, no I’m sorry he does not but he would be happy to answer any questions that you might have.
I know onhold music or such cost money, along with a website. But for a specialist this stuff is important to get and keep patients. But not only that, friendly and informative staff is more important. I don’t know this doctor personally or his work. But based on the front end. I would not go here to this place.
