I don’t usually leave reviews, but after today I feel morally obligated. If you’re putting off getting your wisdom teeth out because you’re terrified… stop. Seriously. Dr. Jelic and his entire team somehow turned what I assumed would be a medieval torture session into what felt like checking into a spa that just happens to remove teeth. I had one of the easiest medical experiences of my life. From the second I walked in, every single person on the staff was warm, friendly, and genuinely happy to be there. It never felt like I was “just another patient.” Everyone took the time to make sure I was comfortable, answered every question, and somehow managed to make an oral surgery appointment feel… relaxing? They even tucked me in with a warm blanket. A BLANKET! At that point I wasn’t sure if I was getting my wisdom teeth removed or checking into a five-star hotel. Dr. Jelic is incredible. He’s calm, confident, and explains everything in a way that instantly puts you at ease. I was dreading the numbing shots because everyone says they’re the worst part. I never felt them. Not “they weren’t that bad.” I literally didn’t know he had already done them. The next thing I was thinking, “So… when are we starting?” Apparently we had already finished. My wisdom teeth were gone, and I was sitting there trying to process how something I was stressed about lasted what felt like five minutes. You can tell this office has built a culture where everyone truly cares about the people walking through the door. That kind of kindness isn’t something you can fake, and it made all the difference. If I ever need oral surgery again (hopefully not anytime soon), there isn’t another office I’d even consider. Dr. Jelic and his entire team turned something I was dreading into an experience that was surprisingly comfortable, and dare I say… enjoyable? If you need oral surgery, don’t waste your time looking anywhere else. This team is the real deal.

Response from the owner:We are all truly blown away by your kind words, Cameron. Reading this made our entire morning. We know just how overwhelming it can be to walk into an oral surgery office, and our biggest goal is always to make sure every person who sits in our chair feels seen, safe, and truly cared for. Hearing that we were able to turn your anxiety into a calm, easy experience—and that our team’s kindness really came through—is exactly what we strive for every single day. Our entire team are all genuinely thrilled to hear how well you were taken care of. Thank you for being such a wonderful patient and for taking the time to share your experience with others. It was a pleasure to have you at Jelic Center!

I would highly recommend Dr. Jelic and his team they are all very professional. Dr. Jelic did a dental implant almost six years ago and he continues to do yearly checkups to make sure everything is ok. Thanks so much Dr. Jelic and team.

Response from the owner:Mary, we truly appreciate you taking the time to share this. It has been such a pleasure seeing you consistently over these past six years. Our team believes care shouldn't stop once a procedure is finished, and are happy to keep up with those yearly checkups to make sure you’re doing well.

Got a coronectomy on both of my bottom wisdom teeth. Everything went quickly and smoothly from consultation to surgery to post-op. As a nervous person, everyone was very friendly and caring which put my mind at ease through the whole process. I highly recommend this place.

Response from the owner:We're so happy you shared this with us. Our office knows how stressful it can be to walk into an oral surgery office, and hearing that our team helped put your mind at ease makes our day. We’re glad we could make your coronectomy experience a smooth one from start to finish. Thanks so much for trusting us with your care, Toni!

I had my wisdom teeth removed last week and I’ve been putting it off for years because I have a phobia of needles and I can finally say I have had them removed and wouldn’t be scared to do it at all if I had to again with Dr.Jelic. Everyone was extremely nice and upfront about everything. First thing I said when I got in the car after was “everyone was so nice, I want to give them a hug” 😂 Turns out there was no reason to put it off all these years. I just need to find the Jelic Center!

Response from the owner:Kristen, it's great to hear you were finally able to get your wisdom teeth taken care of! The unknown aspects of an oral surgery procedure can really make you nervous; hearing that you felt so comfortable is amazing. We really try to keep things calm and straightforward for everyone. Sending a "hug" out to you-thank you so much for entrusting us with your oral surgery care!

Being treated by Dr.Jelic was a wonderful experience. It was so peaceful that I forgot I came in for extraction in the first place! The staff also made the process so easy and care free. The atmosphere of the office is so cozy and it’s an incredible experience. Cat is an amazing schedule coordinator! From the front desk all the way to the clinical team it was always so professional and I felt comfortable to ask anything and express my concerns. Everything was worth it!

Response from the owner:It was a pleasure to have you in the office! We focus on making our space feel welcoming and ensuring our patients feel comfortable asking any questions they have. Cat and the rest of the team are so happy to hear they made the process easy for you. Thanks for choosing us!

Jelic Center is the ideal setting for the treatment of dental malocclusion, facial asymmetries and conditions resulting from abnormal facial growth. In many cases, Dr. Jelic can team up with orthodontists for minimally invasive techniques such as surgically assisted rapid orthodontic SARO to minimize treatment time and defer the need for major surgery.

Dr. Jelic is fellowship trained in orthognathic corrective jaw surgery and has adapted and expanded reconstructive jaw techniques to create the ideal treatment for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. This allows him to improve the upper airway while correcting malocclusions and enhancing facial aesthetics.

For patients that want to focus of soft tissue concerns and facial rejuvenation, Jelic Center also provides facial cosmetic surgical and minimally invasive facial esthetic services to the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area. Schedule a consultation to learn about facial rejuvenating procedures such as lip lifting and shaping, rhinoplasty, ear lobe repair, otoplasty, blepharoplasty, brow lifting or fat sculpting procedures such as fat injections and facial liposuction.
