Harris Richard DR

I had a put off getting my problematic wisdom teeth out for 6 years now. Due to a horrific experience in my adolescents and non stop issues with my teeth from childhood, I haven't been able to ever walk into a dentist without a panic attack.
2 weeks ago I was in soo much agony, I literally rung every Oral Maxillofacial Surgeon within a 50km radius desperately trying to get in for Surgery as soon as possible. The reception staff were extremely understanding of my nervousness and helpful facilitating me with the information I needed to obtain a referral and booked me in for a consultation within days.
Dr. Julian Hirst seen me at his practice on level 1 at Chermside Day Hospital. There was no dentist smell, no prodding tools, no dentist chair. My crippling anxiety was instantly put to rest. The Dr. Listened to all my concerns, explaining in depth the procedure, it's risks and what to expect with my recovery. Not that he sugar coated it, but his gentle demeanour and straightforward informative approach made me feel most confident finally going through with the surgery.
I arrived and was looked after beautifully by all the nurses and most especially the anesthetist Dr. Moses. I was out for what felt like a 10mins nap, and woke up with no adverse reaction. I was in less than 2hrs & I am resting up at home with minimal swelling and pain. On discharge, A script for anti-inflammatory, pain relief and ice packs to take home as well as extensive home care advice. Seriously impressed by the entire experience. Especially the pumping music in theatre. Highly recommended!!
