Oral Surgery Specialists of Oklahoma has always championed providing the very best to our patients. Our practice has been serving the Oklahoma City area since the 1970s and has developed a well-established reputation built on community trust. Our founder, Neil M. Glass, DDS, MD, recruited my services 16 years ago. During our time as partners, Dr. Glass and I always sought to be leading the way in areas that we felt were most clinically relevant. As cone beam technology came about, we quickly and successfully adopted it into our practice. This led to a variety of other implant related advances that elevated our practice ahead of the curve. This drive to deliver optimal care has also led us to become a dominant multispecialty practice in our state.
When Dr. Glass was ready to transition from private practice, we recruited a very sharp young surgeon, Dr. Jeremy Goodson. Dr. Goodson’s reputation preceded him as having a data-driven, analytical mind. He was also just as committed to delivering the latest in dental technology to our practice. After joining our practice in 2015, he swiftly lived up to that reputation. He has been instrumental in heading up our Robotic Surgery Department.
Neocis®, understanding that placing the YOMI® robotic assistant surgical unit requires a unique practice, contacted us to demonstrate the power of the device. We immediately acquired and began utilizing YOMI, becoming the first practice in Oklahoma to do so. Having an in-house Robotic Surgery Department not only keeps our practice on the leading edge, but it also ensures that our patients are receiving world class care.
Understanding that we needed to broaden our horizons and also our minds, we realized that our practice would benefit greatly by acquiring the skill and expertise of a periodontal surgeon. After a great deal of thought, we recruited periodontist Dr. Hayden Fuller. Dr. Fuller joined us in 2020, in the midst of what we all understand were very uncertain times. To say that she has risen to the occasion would be a gross understatement. Adding the skill set of a board-certified periodontist has driven the quality of our care to a level that is unmistakably distinguished.
Recruiting surgeons that share our core values and commitment to excellence has been instrumental to our collective success as a practice and personal fulfillment as providers. Oral Surgery Specialists of Oklahoma continues to value the creative mindset in a variety of areas of specialization. It is our full intent to continue this trend and bring the level of care that we provide to our patients to the superlative quality that they expect and, frankly, deserve.
