Dear Colleagues,
Greetings from the Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Emory. At the present time there are significant challenges with recruiting faculty. This continues to be a national issue.
We are grateful to have Dr James Jeong join us in 2023 and are actively seeking two additional faculty for 2024 and beyond. At present the Division is struggling to manage the volume of patients seeking extractions and the current wait time for an appointment is 5 months.
We are considering encouraging new patients who need extractions to seek care in a more timely manner from surgeons in private practice.
I would be happy to provide a list of specific surgeons to the Emory call center if there is interest. If you would like to be listed please email me directly.
Best wishes,
Gary F Bouloux MD, DDS, MDSc, FRACDS, FRACDS(OMS), FRCS(Eng), FACS
