It's not often that you would think that an Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon would save your life but Dr McBee did. I had what started out as a toothache that just got exponentially worse over the course of 9 days. I had spoken to my regular DDS who put me on an antibiotic, an Endodontist who increased the antibiotic dose, and sought help from the ER at my local hospital 3 times before the ER doctor called FINALLY advocated for me and called Dr McBee to help. He understood that it was an emergency and saw me right out of the ER. He gave me my options, discussed the concerns and scheduled me for a procedure in his office later that day. When I returned, he noticed that my symptoms took a turn for the worse. The swelling in my face had gotten so bad that it was in danger of collapsing my airway. He had me scheduled for surgery immediately at the hospital where I needed to be intubated to save my airway... Dr McBee came to see me each day to monitor my progress. To this day he is continuing my aftercare from the infection that was there. I recommend Dr McBee to anyone looking for someone to actually care for their patient.

My son injured his teeth late on a recent Friday night. Walked into the A.F Hospital E.R. at about midnight. The E.R. Doctor took one look and said she would call the Oral Surgeon on call. Dr. McBee left his nice comfortable bed and came down and helped. Sure, lots of on call oral surgeons show up when called, but the kindness, professionalism and compassion he showed was extraordinary. His confidence was reassuring. He did what he could do there in the E.R., and then made the extra effort to open his office on a Saturday morning to finish the treatment. His assistant Natalie was spot on and was great with both my son and his worried dad. Again, Dr. McBee''s kindness in a tense situation was reassuring and I would highly recommend anyone who needs an oral surgeon to get an appointment with Dr. McBee.
