Testimonials
"Dr. Fagan, Now that my dental work is completed, I want to thank you for the excellent job you did with my jawbone reduction surgery and implants. This was a long process but believe me the final results are truly amazing. Initially I was extremely apprehensive but you and your caring assistants were very encouraging and now I am so thrilled with the outcome. My many thanks to you again."

"Dear Dr. Fagan,
This note is long overdue; but I hope you'll forgive me. I want to thank you for the gum work you did on me many months ago. Your clear explanations of procedures and costs during the initial visit helped prevent me from imagining the worst.
Your staff was friendly but professional and the beautiful and orderly decor put me at ease immediately.
I hope your staff didn't misunderstand me when I left after the last visit. I said I'd gladly refer anyone to you but planned never to return myself. I just meant that I hoped that the condition didn't recur requiring me to repeat the painful procedure. If I ever need similar work done I wouldn't consider going to anyone but you.
Thank you for making an unpleasant situation much more positive than I thought possible.
Sincerely,
M. Hickey"

Dear Dr. Fagan.
I am so glad I decided to replace my 3 missing teeth with implants. The procedures and recovery course was smooth and the pain was so minimal I can't remember having any discomfort. Thanks -- I really don't want to have dentures when I'm older. Implants are a wonderful option.
Sincerely,

I have had implant placement. The thought of the procedure was a great cause of concern. Dr. Harold Fagan and his entire staff are so professional -- not to worry. The explanations before the surgery, placement, follow ups, were easy. Great job-, feel great, will do it again.

I was nervous about having a post implanted in my mouth but as it turned out, it was a very wise choice. Dr. Fagan was terrific about explaining everything as he did it and that made me very comfortable and reassured.

Dear Dr. Fagan.
In early 1994 I came to your office as a referral from Dr. Agnes Fuentes. My mouth was in terrible condition due to years of improper treatment by a dentist other than Dr. Fuentes. I am thankful that Dr. Fuentes had the foresight to recommend you to me and my wife. She also recommended Dr. Michael O'Shea who is my Prosthodontist. Upon our first meeting with you, transplants were discussed. Needless to say my wife and I were apprehensive about the process. I basically had very little bone left on the bottom of my mouth and you apprised us that this would add even more risk. While the cost was also a factor in our apprehension, my wife and I decided after consultation with Dr. Michael O'Shea that we must go forward. Your office did six lower implants and Dr. O'Shea made the permanent lower apparatus that fits over the implants. Both you and Dr. O'Shea consulted on a regular basis which resulted in my receiving the very best of care. In addition, I was an active participant in making decisions as we went along. I found that the interaction and communication between all parties involved alleviated concerns and allowed my recovery to proceed in a timely fashion. We never rushed anything. I believe this is the major key to successful implants. My implants and the apparatus applied by Dr. O'Shea have been a complete success.
While it has been a lengthy and at times painful process; having just finished in November of 1995, I can tell you unequivocally that having the implants has made a major difference in my life. The implants have improved the quality of my life and given me back self-confidence.
Now that I am finished, I will continue to see you and Dr. O'Shea to monitor my progress to assure that I continue to maintain a healthy mouth which ultimately leads to better overall physical health and well-being. Thank you.
Sincerely,

My story about implants I would like to share, Because the end results have left me walking on air.
My dentist first told me my teeth would have to go, For that rotten periodontal disease had dealt a cruel blow. The news knocked the wind right out of my sails, I just couldn't handle this horrible tale.
When the tears finally ceased and reality sank in, A date was set for the implant procedure to begin. As I sat in the dentist chair scared and nervous as could be, Dr. Fagan and his assistant noticed and began to comfort me.
Major jawbone surgery was performed that memorable day,
The first of many more surgeries to come my way.
Weeks became months as time crawled by,
But the Doctor and caring staff kept my spirits high.
Now that the implants are all in place,
I must confess with egg on my face.
Had I known from the start the delight they've brought me,
I certainly would have reacted quite differently.So, for those considering implants today,
GO FOR IT, is all I can say !!
