tl;dr I would highly recommend Dr Lee and his team, I had an excellent experience and minimal recovery time.

I'd procrastinated far too long getting my wisdom teeth out. With my experience under the care of Dr Lee and his staff, I need not have worried.
The operation was quick and clean, one partly impacted lower tooth and one upper easily pulled directly. Dr Lee counciled me on the reasonability of pulling the others and we decided to leave them be.

They worked with me to understand the costs of the surgery, which ones were covered by insurance and what I was expected to owe. The entire process was well laid out and thorough in addition to helping me feel at ease about the financial expense.

The surgery went without fanfare or real comment, simply being put out mid conversation which felt comfortable and reassuring.

The recovery process itself was an exercise in following directions and eating carefully. There was minimal swelling in my case, at least partly due to the instructions, but also Dr Lee's skill in removing the partially impacted tooth.

The numbing anesthesia wore off after the first day, but a local one per tooth had been applied that spared me the first three days of pain. After that regularly taking the non-opioid painkillers and following instructions led to a far better than expected recovery and and overall better experience.
