Practice History

Our practice was founded in 1949 by Dr. Porter Gott. Dr. Gott was one of the first oral surgeons in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He established a practice built on respect, kindness and a commitment to the community. Dr. Gott was joined by Dr. James Driscoll in 1981. The two surgeons dedicated themselves to serving the community and making themselves available to all the surrounding hospitals. They were a “win-win team.” Dr. Gott retired in the late 1980’s.

In June of 2004, Dr. Todd Sawisch partnered with Dr. Driscoll to become the third generation of the oldest and most established oral and maxillofacial surgery practice in Broward County. Dr. Sawisch brings the latest in surgical techniques to the community.

In January, 2007, Dr. Jennifer Schaumberg joined the practice. Dr. Schaumberg trained with Dr. Sawisch at the University of Miami School of Medicine, Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

On February 27, 2007, the practice was relocated to, 6000 N. Federal Highway. This new state-of-the-art surgical facility is a 14, 000 sq ft free-standing building. Our new locations helps us in bringing the latest and most advanced technology to provide the highest level of care to our patients.

Our primary goal with our new facility was to eliminate the intimidating feeling of traditional dental or medical office. The relaxing, spa-like atmosphere will surround you from the moment you step foot in our reception area and throughout your visit to our facility.

Designated drivers and those accompanying our surgical patients may wish to have a relaxing facial or other treating by our certified aesthetician during their wait.

The professionals that make up our team consists of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons, Registered Pharmacist, Registered Nurse and a Certified Aesthetician.
