special instructions for patients receiving sedation:

Please note that in most instances we require a consultation first to review health history, decide on the most appropriate anesthesia, formulate/confirm your treatment plan, and then schedule their surgery at a separate appointment. The following only applies if they are having surgery at the first appointment.

Patients who will receive I.V. Sedation or general anesthesia must have NO FOOD OR DRINK, including water, at least 6 hours prior to surgery unless otherwise instructed by their surgeon. Some medications may be continued and this will be discussed at your consultation.

A responsible person must accompany you and remain in our office during your treatment. They must also be able to drive you home. Do not plan to drive an automobile the day of the procedure.

Any unmarried patient under the age of 18 must also be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the time of surgery (or have written consent from them at the time of operation).

Wear clothing with sleeves that are easy to push up.

Offering the most comfortable and pleasant experience for patients.

ORA Surgery reviewed by Lexi on May 5th, 2011:

I wantedd to write this review both as a "thank you" to the Google and Yelp reviewers for pointing me to Dr. Koos' practice as well as a really big "thank you" to everyone at ORA Oral Surgery & Implant Studio for making the removal of my wisdom teeth go so smoothly Don't go to just any oral surgeon that your dentist refers you to....except if it is Dr. Koos.

Patient Review ? Gregory, J., Chicago, IL. This was the best dental experience of my life!!! After putting off getting my wisdom teeth pulled for over a year, out of fear of oral surgeons and the horror stories I was told, I took the plunge and went to Dr. Koos and his team! First off, the office is INCREDIBLE and feels like [...]
Patient Review From Jada Z., Chicago, Illinois. I would give this place 10 stars if I could. I had three of my wisdom teeth removed yesterday (my fourth one never formed). That was the first time I was under the general anesthesia so I was a little nervous. The nurse (I am really bad with remembering names and I couldn’t find her [...]
Review of Oral Surgeon ? Samantha G., Chicago, IL. After a ridiculously traumatic experience getting my bottom 2 wisdom teeth out at my regular dentist (all I need to tell you is 4 hours, no anesthesia/gas, and ‘complicated’ teeth that he wasn’t prepared for), I waited 4 years to get the other two out. Oops. I’m also terrified of needles despite being covered in [...]
Patient Review ? Mary Margaret S., Chicago, IL. A co-worker of mine put it best, in regards to oral surgery: no matter how far we progress as a society, with our technology, dentistry is still so primal, so caveman. Breaking bones and cracking teeth. It’s the only thing that hasn’t evolved. Now, while I was out for the cavemen practices, the rest of [...]
Review From Elanor, Chicago, IL. I can’t say enough about Dr.�Koos and everyone at ORA Oral Surgery and Implant Studio. I’ve been a patient of Dr. Koos’ for the past two years having gone through a tooth extraction and bone graft which was then followed up with an dental implant and crown. Throughout my treatment, Dr. Koos and his staff [...]
Review From Nicole H., Chicago, IL. Dr. Koos is amazing! I just had all of my wisdom teeth extracted. Dr. Koos’ bedside manner turned what I was expecting to be a very scary and painful experience into a calming & relatively low-pain experience. He has a very calming nature that just made me feel comfortable and confident that the surgery would [...]
Review From Arun, Chicago, IL. I had all 4 wisdom teeth taken�out by Dr Koos. It was a quick procedure (actually with the anesthesia seemed instantaneous to me), and he gave us clear instructions when we left. As others reviews mentioned,he also called back later that day to check in and answer questions. Although I did have some issues during [...]
Review From Lauren C., Chicago, Illinois. My husband went here for an implant a couple of months ago. �They were incredibly nice and professional. �The actual procedure took less than 30 minutes and my husband had very little pain afterwards. �I am so glad we went here!! Our normal dentist office (Dental Salon) brought in an oral surgeon and he told [...]
Review From Whitney, D. Chicago, IL. DR. STEVE IS TALL AND VERY VERY SEXY. Now that I’ve gotten that out of my system, on to the actual review of the services I received. I went here for a consultation recently and didn’t have to sit for long, maybe 10 minutes if that. I went over to the 360 X-ray machine and [...]
Review From Taylor, G Chicago, Illinois. The dentists there are GREAT. Very thorough and explained everything very well. I received a Saturday evening phone call from dentist after surgery to check up on me. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the dentists. They would have gotten 5 stars if it wasn’t for the front desk. I went in for [...]
