The Dentistry-Pleasant Hills

They are awesome! They explain everything, and are really easy to work with. The office is really nice too. The atmosphere is overall comfortable and friendly!

My husband (on chronic immunosuppressants for IBD) told Dr. Frankel about a concerning lesion in his mouth. Dr. Frankel told him it was \"nothing to worry about\" & told him to aim a laser pointer at it and sent him home. About 5 months later, when the lesion didn\'t resolve, he saw an ENT doctor, who sent him straight to the cancer center to be diagnosed w/ Stage 2 Squamous Cell Cancer! Since it wasn\'t biopsied or diagnosed when my husband reported it, the mass grew & req\'d invasive surgery for removal, including removal of all of his submandibular lymph nodes on 1 side! His oral range of motion is limited, his neck, ear, scalp and mouth are numb, & he has endured significant pain! Immunosuppressants is the 3rd leading cause of oral cancer & we trusted our dentist to have the medical knowledge to advocate for us & our health!
