Mission: University Oral & Facial Surgery, P.C. provides comprehensive diagnosis, surgery, and adjunctive treatment for diseases and deformities involving the mouth, teeth, jaws, and facial structures. The care in our facility extends to the total health of our patients. Our commitment to the delivery of quality patient services is measured through ongoing comprehensive quality improvement programs.

History: In late 1997, Dr. Ronald McIlwain and Dr. Terry Carlson merged their oral and maxillofacial surgery practice with that of Dr. James Link, forming University Oral & Facial Surgery, P.C. The new practice began operation in January 1998 with a newly constructed 12,000 square foot building. The building has excellent access to all sections of Tuscaloosa due to its direct connection to three major transportation arteries: McFarland Boulevard which runs north/south, University Boulevard which runs east/west, and Campus Drive which leads straight to the University of Alabama. Easy access to Interstate 59 and state highway systems provides convenience to patients from surrounding communities.
