I recommend this practice to anyone who needs an oral surgeon! I have had two damaged teeth removed by Dr. Vandersea. Taking permanent teeth and removing them was painless. I was awake during these extractions. I was able to go grocery shopping right after the procedures. Will always recommend OMSA for an oral surgeon.

- Michele C

I saw Dr. Ruvo last month for removal (NOT placement) of a dental implant which had been done elsewhere long ago and had unfortunately failed. Following the procedure, a bone graft was performed as well. Dr. Ruvo is a skilled professional with a caring and personable demeanor, and it resulted in a most positive experience for me. His talented staff could not have been nicer as well. I would heartily recommend him unconditionally.

This was my 2nd tooth extraction with Dr. Vandersea. He is excellent. He is friendly, caring, listens carefully, explains everything clearly and tells you exactly what he is going to do before he does it which I really appreciate as there are no surprises. He also squeezed me in before his first patient of the day because my tooth was throbbing. The entire staff at the Chapel Hill OSMA office is wonderful.

It took over a year from the consultation to the procedure to finish the process due to my wariness of potential heart issues. Dr. Ruvo insisted that I see a cardiologist before scheduling my wisdom teeth removal procedure. He was concerned for my well-being and wanted me to wake up from the anesthetics if I took them. I greatly appreciated his attention to detail. Once I figured out I needed to take electrolyte supplements, he called me after seeing the cardiologist's results. He made accommodations for my concerns (for the day of the surgery), and assured me that my cardiology results qualified me for surgery. One year after the consultation, I returned to complete the procedure. He remembered everything about me and it was as if we had talked last week. He talked to me as I fell asleep (under anesthesia) and was incredibly attentive during the conversation, remembering my major and concentration from our previous visit. After the surgery was complete, I was not allowed to leave until he checked in on me and made sure I was feeling ok. I had the surgery at 8:45am, and then he CALLED at 8pm to ask how I was feeling and if my heart had felt any residual affects. This is the most caring and attentive doctor I have ever encountered. I highly recommend him to anyone feeling nervous about this procedure. He is honest, reassuring, and will do everything in his power to give you a good experience. All doctors should aspire to meet this standard.

Everyone at the Sanford location were extremely nice and helpful. Dr Ruvo explained what he thought was my best treatment without wasting money and got it taken care of with confidence and painless. I definitely would recommend him to everyone. I came all the way from Apex and don’t regret it. His assistant was very helpful in answering my questions and calming me down.

- Brenda H

I have been so pleased with my whole experience with your office. Thank you to Dr. Ruvo who made me feel so relaxed during the procedure by letting me know what was going on and making sure I was okay. I also appreciated the follow up phone call the night after dental work! Many thanks to Dr.Ruvo and his team!

- Colleen S

I saw Dr. Vandersea for a biopsy on my tongue. I was scared because this was the first pathology check I had ever done. Dr. Vandersea was so patient and kind. He has this relaxed vibe about him that immediately put me at ease about the procedure. And he took the time to answer all my questions honestly. He also has a good sense of humor, which helped to ease the stress of the operation. I felt very cared for during my initial visit, during the surgery, and with followups.

- Brett C

Dr. Serlo and all the staff were highly qualified and very supportive.

- William F

We are extremely impressed with all of you. Dr. Serlo is amazing. Not only is he thoughtful, communicative, and kind, but a true professional. I am writing for John, whose comment after the surgery was: "that man has golden hands." So grateful for Dr. S and crew. Happy Holidays.

- John P

One is in good hands with these folks.

- Carl David P

I was quite anxious about having my autistic son's wisdom teeth removed. But Dr. Serlo and the entire staff put myself and my son at ease. I'm so glad we didn't put it off. Everything was smooth from the consultation, through the procedure and the follow-up appointment. My son was never in any pain. I highly recommend Dr. Serlo and OMSA!

- Sandi B

Dr. Ruvo is amazing. I felt comfortable from start to finish. I didn't even feel the iv go in, three sentences later, done! No after pain, whatsoever, and he even called to check on me that evening! Best dental experience I have had to date. You have to be referred here, and I cant speak for the other doctors, im sure all of them are great, but my Dr. was amazing!

- Chris B

Dr. Serlo and his staff made me feel completely comfortable and confident about my procedure. Dr. Serlo recognized my anxiety and took the time explain everything about the process of my procedure and post-op care. I really can't say enough good things about my experience with OMSA, their friendly staff, and Dr. Serlo.
