[Hidden-tech] Looking for an oral surgeon that will do impacted wisdom teeth extractions

[Deborah Chandler]

Thank you, everyone, for your good and prompt suggestions. My friend
found an oral surgeon in Orange who can see her tomorrow, which will
be a schlep for her from Worcester, but it's the only one she could
find. She found them through calling Hampshire Health Connect out of
Cooley Dickinson. (I know, Orange isn't even in Hampshire County...)

There was great frustration, due to the mismatch between the list
MassHealth keeps, the names some of you kind folks provided, and then
the offices themselves saying they don't take MassHealth. MassHealth,
while I'm grateful it exists, has some catching up to do on their
databases. So much time wasted trying to find what she needed, while
in such pain and discomfort. To put it aptly, it was "like pulling
teeth"...

But again, thanks for being such great community members. :) If I
remember, I will share her success and the name of the place.

Best,
Deb
