Dr. Wallender is terrific! My daughter’s surgery was a great success. He and his staff were easy to work with before and after the surgery. If you need jaw surgery, he is the one to see!
Yesterday, my daughter, who has a cleft lip and palate, underwent an extraction of seven teeth, including some from her palate due to the cleft. The team at Mobile Oral and Facial Surgery did an outstanding job, ensuring she felt comfortable and safe throughout the procedure. Given her anxiety from previous dental experiences, their ability to keep her calm and pain-free was remarkable.In the past, we've encountered dental practices where my daughter was held down while screaming. Here, however, her comfort and safety were paramount. The staff kept us informed and updated at every step, providing a sense of reassurance that was invaluable. Dr. Wallender, with his extensive knowledge, ensured we understood the entire process.As a Smile Train council member and the founder of a support group for individuals with cleft lip and palate and their loved ones, I can confidently say that Mobile Oral and Facial Surgery has earned my full trust. Our support group, "Our Cleft Lip and Palate Support Group:*)" on Facebook, has grown to over 23,000 members worldwide, providing a community for support, learning, and connection.This group was inspired by my daughter, Josie, to ensure she never felt alone, and it has blossomed into something truly beautiful. With over 18 years in the cleft community, I have encountered many doctors and surgeons, and I can recognize exceptional care when I see it. Dr. Wallender and his team exemplify this excellence. If you need support for cleft please feel free to join our group 💕everyone’s welcome
