Thank you all for your help. Dr. Parulis is the best oral surgeon and all the nurses are very professional, including the front desk staff. I sincerely want to thank each of you, especially Dr. Parulis, for an outstanding job you did. You're the best in the area, that is why I drive two and a half hours.
Dr. Parulis was my third opinion and he diagnosed my osteomyelitis immediately. He operated the same day trying to clean the infection from the jaw bone. Unfortunately, the infection had spread too far, later requiring the removal of my lower right jaw. After Carilion surgeons built a new jaw from my backbone, Dr. P was able to put in posts so that a bridge of teeth could be made. Thanks to him and his outstanding staff for their kindness and compassion. My life is back to normal.
