Vanderbilt-trained oral and maxillofacial surgeon Jassel Fernandez, DDS, has joined Austin Oral Surgery, an oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) practice with 12 locations in Central Texas. Dr. Fernandez will be treating patients at the Temple office, located at 235 Hilliard Road, effective immediately.
“Temple is a vibrant, thriving community, and the people I’ve met so far have been very welcoming,” said Dr. Fernandez. “Austin Oral Surgery has developed a well-earned reputation throughout Central Texas for exceptional patient care, and I’m honored to be a part of that.”
Dr. Fernandez practices a full scope of OMS, with a particular interest in dental implants, including full mouth reconstruction with zygomatic implants and corrective jaw surgery for complex dental-skeletal deformities. Born in Costa Rica and raised in Nicaragua, Dr. Fernandez is fluent in both English and Spanish.
After completing his undergraduate studies at Universidad Americana in Nicaragua, Dr. Fernandez continued his education in the United States, earning his DDS from the University of California, Los Angeles. Afterward, Dr. Fernandez was accepted into the prestigious OMS residency program at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, where he served as chief resident.
“Dr. Fernandez is a compassionate surgeon, with exceptional training, skills, and dedication to the highest standards of patient care, particularly in terms of quality, safety, and personalization for each individual patient. These are characteristics that we look for in all our surgeons,” said Thomas S. Weil, DDS, MD, and president of Austin Oral Surgery. “He will be an excellent addition to our team.”
