Dr. Gerald J. Wittenberg

Grateful Thank YouI had jaw surgery this year and I had to express my gratitude. I have had alot of bad experiences with surgeons as I've had some botched surgery in the past so going into jaw surgery you could imagine how scared I was especially knowing how big this surgery would be for me. I am happy I was able to find Dr.Wittenburg. My dentist actually referred me to someone local in my city but I refused and wanted to go to the best of the best. I remember the first time I talked to him I could tell immeditely how knowledgable he was. I have a deep appreciation for those who are so incredibly smart. I felt like he was a professor when he spoke. I also did not go into the surgery blindly I did alot of research and was prepared for the worst pain In my life but after my surgery was done I could not believe how I literally felt pain free. The moment I woke up my throat was sore due to the breathing tube they had to use but other than that no pain. Even the following days no pain I was so prepared to feel horrible but it was so easy. Out of all my surgeries I've done this was so peaceful. Swelling was crazy my mom loved how chubby my face looked haha. But don't worry you look like a potato for a little bit but by one month you look completely normal. I also never lost any weight during my recovery I made sure to eat alot of calories and keep my body healthy to aid in healing. I am immensely grateful for Dr wittenburg and can't thank him enough. Also I have to mention how Wittenburg was extremely kind towards me. Through the whole experience and after he cared (something I sadly have never felt with any other surgeon) he really is so knowledgeable I can't emphasize this enough. I understand alot of patients don't want to share their experience /name or photos as it's a very private procedure and not something you want ppl to know you have had done but I think it's very important for me to share my experience.I want to help those really who are contemplating orthodontic jaw surgery he's the best.

I had jaw surgery and chin surgery done by Dr Wittenberg and the whole experience was really good. I remember the first visit for the consultation and really felt comfortable with Dr Wittenberg and his office. Before I went there I was nervous but after all the information and discussion about the surgery I knew I would go ahead. The Invisalign took over a year to get me ready for surgery and Dr Wittenberg went over the surgery all over again and his staff was great and arranged a hospital date pretty quickly since they said they knew I was ready. My family was there to listen to the instructions and that helped. The surgery was much easier than I expected and I had no pain and the swelling went down within a week. I ate real food in a week and was super happy about how I looked. The chin really made a difference for me since I always felt I had a bad profile and after surgery I was so pleased with my new look. I had lots of visits after surgery and really appreciated them because it was so reassuring. Dr Wittenberg saw me every time and was really encouraging. I sent my friend to see him and really recommend him for face surgery to everyone.

My twin sister had jaw surgery and a genioplasty with Dr. Wittenberg and couldn’t be happier with the results post op. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Wittenberg myself at her follow up appointment and he was absolutely lovely. His expertise is very apparent and he could easily identify ways he could help me with my own concerns. I definitely recommend him and feel very comfortable knowing I’m in good hands.

His expertise in facial surgery is amazing. Some time ago, I had eyelid surgery with Dr Wittenberg and over time I wanted to also do my chin. I knew he would be the one for me since he is the only surgeon who posts so many pictures and does such natural work on the face. The surgery was in his OR and really quick and I took about 10 days to get back to social work life. I love my chin which was a genioplasty and not an implant since he explained how an implant is not good for this area in my case. Anyway, another successful result for me. Great office

Why did I wait so long? Like many of us aging folks I was hesitant about improving my aging neck which I have wanted to do for so long. Plenty of excuses for sure but Dr Wittenberg made them all go away once I consulted with him. Great bedside manner and really nice friendly staff took away my anxieties within minutes it seemed. Never rush you but give you plenty of information and I am forever greatful for my younger face. I think I look better than ever but confidence will do that, and a few good compliments from my family didnt hurt either. No pain either which surprised me and only 2 weeks later I was plenty recovered and smiling away. Very good office and obviously amazing surgeon with hugh experience in face surgery.

When I was younger, I had jaw surgery with Dr Wittenberg and my whole family was very impressed with him and the result. So when I wanted some cosmetic surgery done, it was natural to seek him out for a consultation. He hasn't changed from what I remember. He is soft spoken friendly and takes his time to explain everything to you. He has these amazing blue eyes which I remembered too since wearing masks makes it all the more focused. After talking to him and his super staff I had a necklift and cheekpad lift which made a world of difference to how I felt. It has been months since surgery and I am ever so happy about how I look. I feel confident and know that I have gone to the best! Dr Wittenberg is a gem and a rare surgeon with the talent and bedside manner combo.

I always had a small chin and I wanted to get a better profile especially since I was moving away. I researched a lot and Dr Wittenberg had so many amazing photos on his site and great experiences. I started with a telephone consultation and they were so friendly and gave me lots of information based upon some pictures I sent along. I visited Dr Wittenberg and he was so welcoming and went over my structure and we talked about a few options for me. I decided to go full tilt and get a new jawline and it was my best decision ever made. Surgery was booked and the staff were great and my recovery was as they had told me with a couple of weeks. He said it takes months for the final result but I was happy after the first week. I had no problems and now I look in the mirror and compare to old pictures and cannot imagine why I had not done it sooner. Great office and great surgeon.

I was referred to Dr Wittenberg by my orthodontist for jaw surgery to fix my overbite and small jaw. The office is very nice and the staff is friendly and Dr Wittenberg was very welcoming and took time to tell me about my face and bite problem. He went over the pros and cons very well and I had questions prepared and he took time to answer all of them. This was a while back but I still recall feeling very safe and in the right place. My orthodontist said he was the very best in BC and had the most experience of anyone. About a year later I had the surgery and it was really not a big deal as I had thought and because I was not wired and could talk I was able to recover super quick with a brand new bite and a new jawline too. I had no complications at all and my orthodontist said the result was perfect. I highly recommend Dr Wittenberg.

Dr. Wittenberg removed two of my wisdom teeth, and one of them was in my jaw nerve. It took only 20 min. I felt nothing, no bleeding, and to be honest, super professional. It was way easier than I thought.

Excellent. I went for a consultation because I had eyebags and Dr Wittenberg took time to show me the reason and how my face was changing with age. He easily showed me that raising my cheekpad and contouring the eyebags was the most effective treatment and not just removing fat like I had thought. He went through pros and cons and incisions and recovery including expected bruises. I had the surgery with sedation and did experience the bruises around the eyes but after a couple of weeks I could easily see the big difference. A few more months later and I became even more impressed as not only were the bags gone but my cheeks looked great blending in. No pain, just swelling and glad I did it
