Amazing Experience

This was my first dental procedure outside of getting a cavity filled when I was 13. I also have a really bad anxiety disorder. Dr. Egolum and the staff were absolutely amazing at accommodating me. They made sure I was comfortable and my anxiety was greatly reduced. The entire staff was helpful and friendly. I will be back for future procedures and highly recommend Dr. Egolum.

Everything went smoothly

Dr. Egolum was friendly, clear in explanation and optimistic/upbeat about the process. The extraction was quick, and healing was pretty smooth compared to what I've heard from others. Overall, if I had to get teeth extracted, it's hard to imagine doing better.

Dr Egolum is amazing! traumatic, least painful,smoothest recovery from oral surgery I have ever had.

Dr Egolum is amazing! Least traumatic, least painful, smoothest recovery from oral surgery I have ever had. I needed no pain meds after the procedure, and inflammation at the site was minimal; all signs of very deft surgical techniques. He also has a great bedside manner. I highly recommend him.

unbelievably excellent experience

Dr. Egolum discussed everything that was going to happen before starting anything. He then talked me through the procedure step by step. i did not believe it was finished so quickly. The tech/assistant to the doctor, Candace, review my post op very quickly and invited me to call her back if I had questions before 4 p.m.

I am delighted to have the surgery behind me.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction

First time having dental surgery and Dr. Egolum is the absolute BEST in the business! I had NO PAIN at all after all 4 wisdom teeth were extracted. He was patient and understood that I was nervous, so it made the process less complicated. I appreciate his expertise in the surgery and did not have any doubt that he knew what he was doing. THANK YOU DR. EGOLUM!!

my overall experience with the office was excellent

immediately at the front desk the staff is welcoming and makes you comfortable. The dental assistance were knowledgeable and reassuring. Dr. Egolum was excellent in his explanation to execution. The staff at this Silver Spring office epitomizes how a professional office should operate. Having a dental issue and procedure is a scary proposition . The staff here relieved the tension and my fear of dentistry.

Great Service - Patient & Kind

I had some severely impacted wisdom teeth that were causing headaches and some crowding . My dentist referred me to MOSA and my experience was great. Dr. Egolum explained what would typically be a complicated situation in an easy-to-understand way, and was extremely patient with me as I asked my many questions. For many of us, surgery is scary and brings tons of anxiety. I walked into my procedure feeling confident that I was in good hands and a week later I'm recovering very well!

Dr. Egolum (Dr. E) was so awesome and Candice was so Sweet!

From the moment I walked in until the very end of my appointment the customer service experience was phenomenal. I truly felt like the only patient until my procedure was over.
