Alvin Yadgood

My daughter had all of her wisdom teeth pulled by Dr. Yadgood and he was excellent. When we met for the consultation prior to the surgery he was patient, friendly and answered all of our questions. The surgery went smoothly and he, along with the staff, were exceptional. My daughter went home and later that afternoon I got nervous regarding the amount of bleeding and they told us to come back and saw us immediately to look at her. She was fine and we went home and she healed without any issues whatsoever. Within days she was back to normal, she experienced minimal pain and had a very short recovery. I can’t say enough positives about
Dr. Yadgood and his staff, they were great!

My regular dentist had to refer me to an oral surgeon and he recommended Dr. Yadgood. Even though there are oral surgeons where I live and it was much farther for me to go to Haverhill, it was well worth the time and effort.
I have had to have two teeth extracted. The first was while I was receiving chemotherapy and no one else wanted to touch a tooth that absolutely had to come out on someone in the middle of a lengthy chemo protocol. Not only did he do a fabulous job, but it healed well with no infection.
Recently I broke another tooth in such a way, it could not be repaired. Once again, he was able to extract the tooth easily, painlessly, and quickly. Plus, he was able to fit me in very quickly.
He and his staff are friendly, fun, personable, and highly skilled. They take their time with the local anesthesia so there is absolutely no pain. They explain everything, and they are very adept at what they do.
I am terrified of dentists but they did a great job of reassuring someone who has a panic attack just walking in the door.
Edited to add: I was recently sent a message by a reader who reported that he «wasn’t buying my review» of Dr. Yadgood because I live in CA. He found it impossible to believe that I would have traveled from CA to MA for dental work.
I was a lifelong resident of New England and lived on the North Shore of Massachusetts and just over the line in So. NH for the last 60 years. We relocated to California in September of 2014. I stand by this review and the quality of Dr. Yadgood’s professional skill. Both of the procedures he performed on me were while we were living in Newburyport, MA.
