My family has used Dr, Lahar for the last 25 years for wisdom teeth, extractions and several implants. This past year, when I called, needing an extraction immediately for an abscessed tooth needing an implant, the office wanted to give me an appointment almost two months away. I made it clear that I was in a great deal of pain, had already seen my regular dentist, and had been using Dr. Lahar, and was a regular patient for many years, to no avail. I called a Periodontist, who I had never used, but who had been recommended by an acquaintance, and was given an appointment the next day. Tooth extracted, I then proceeded to have an implant. I will never call Dr. Lahar's practice or use them ever again. Ridiculous treatment for patients who have been loyal for a very long time and always paid every bill upon presentation. read more

Dr Lahar the staff are excellent, friendly and professional. I've had two implants at this office. In each case the process was flawless. I experienced very little pain. I've had the one implant for a number of years no issues. I will use Dr Lahar again if I need another implant. read more

This is a practice with wonderful assistants. They were caring and totally on top of the surgery I needed to have done. Dr. Lahar is first rate and promised "no pain." He delivered and I appreciated that. I give this practice the highest recommendation. read more

Dr Lahar and his staff were superb. extremely professional, understanding and caring. I saw my dentist on a Wednesday afternoon for an abscess molar which exceeded their capabilities to resolve. They called Dr Lahar's office. He saw me the very next day and noted the infection had involved the lymph node. He changed his surgery schedule the next day to fit me in. I have never had this level of care before. All is well know. read more

Lahar Craig DMD - Oral Surgeons Near Me - Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

See all

I had broken off a large portion of a tooth and decided to get an implant. This was my second procedure with Dr. Lahar, as he completed a prior implant procedure on me over 10 years ago. The implant is still fine and I have not had any problems at all. Dr. Lahar fully explained the entire procedure, which included extraction of the remaining portion of the broken tooth. This went extremely well, and once healed, I returned for the implant procedure. Under anesthesia, the procedure was completely painless. The staff was great and the office and surgery area were top notch. I highly recommend Dr. Lahar for dental implants and all other oral surgery needs. read more

I'm a big chicken when it comes to dental work so I was nervous about getting a broken wisdom tooth pulled as I have never had a tooth pulled before. Dr. Lahar did an amazing job, quickly and absolutely pain-free. I didn't even hurt from the shots. I will go back to get the rest taken care of under anesthesia later on but I was very pleased with how they put me at ease and took care of my tooth. read more

Loved this office. Staff is very caring. Dr Lahar reviews and explains everything, even stupid questions. Wouldn't hesitate to go back again. read more

What a disfunctional practice from Lahar down to the receptionist. When I finally talked with Lahar about staff issues I was having, he canceled my scheduled procedure and told me to go elsewhere. Lahar blamed the staff issues on COVID-19 and the limited staff and in hiring competent staff. In his case, he must have hired the bottom of the barrel. During only four days of interacting with them, I was left phone messages and asked to return their calls and when I called back, no one in the office said they called me. Twice when, I called back, they hung up on me after I was placed on hold and other times I was placed on hold and no one ever returned. I was asked to follow up by Lahar's staff with another doctor I deal with to have him submit requested information back to Lahar. I did and the information was sent to Lahar within two days. My doctor called me and informed me the date the information was sent to Lahar. When I called Lahar's Office, I was told the Information was never received and to follow up with my doctor. When I did, I was informed the data was sent to Lahar the date he initially informed me it was. When I called Lahar's Office to follow up, I was told by a different staff member that it was received earlier; however, Lahar was in surgey, that someone would get back to me the next morning to firm up the surgery date. When I called back the next day after hearing nothing back from Lahar's Office in the morning, I was told by another staff member that they had just received the information from my doctor this morning. I informed them that wasn't correct, that the data was received two days ago. Another employee got on the line and firmed up the date of my surgery and that I had to go off my blood thinners three days before the date of the procedure and then he gave me dates to not take the blood thinners which added up to four days. When I questioned him that the days totalled four versus three, it took him forever to respond back that what he told me was incorrect. I'm guessing he had to locate an adding machine to total the three days correctly. During the same phone call, he told me about a powder drug that had to be applied after my one tooth was extracted. The cost for this drug was more than the entire tooth extraction and my insurance didn't cover the drug cost. When I questioned him on the need for the drug, I was told that Lahar had passed that to him and that's all he knew - no alternatives to use other drugs or generic drugs. When I called my insurance company, I was informed of multiple lower cost drugs that my insurance company would pay for. It was funny that Lahar didn't mention the need for the drug during our in person consultation three days prior nor did anyone in his office identify an alternative lower cost drug that was covered by my insurance company. When I finally did talk to Lahar to discuss the concerns I was having, he didn't want to hear any of it. He provided me with another date the data was received from my doctor (In total, I received four different dates from Lahar and three of his staff and none of the four dates were the same). His only response to my valid concerns and questions was I'm not doing your surgery and to go elsewhere. This only confirms that Lahar is the root of the problem within his own practice! If Lahar can't admit or listen to problems within his own practice, the problems will never be corrected. If you can't raise valid concerns or ask questions about your planned procedure or surgery that Lahar doesn't like or wants to listen to, my recommendation wold be to stay clear of Lahar and his blind leading the blind staff! read more

If you go to Dr. Lahar, be sure to keep a CLOSE eye on your statements and insurance explanations for benefits. At the end of an almost 2 year period of treatment, my statement showed a credit. I had paid for everything up front because they told me that my insurance would only cover the surgical costs (anesthesia, surgical suite etc.).When I called for the credit, I was told that the previous bookkeeper had messed everything up, and the new hire would review my statement and send a correct one. The corrected statement showed a "debit write-off" for the exact amount of the credit. Then I went through everything line by line. For one charge (over $7000.) they had billed insurance and were reimbursed. After 2 months of many phone calls to the insurance company and his office, I finally got a refund of over half of the $7000. charge. Their excuse for not refunding the money right away? They "knew it would not be covered...never had been...and the insurance company would review my file and take the money back." mind you it had been 15 months since that $7000. service. If they "knew" it would not be covered, why did they submit?! I was not unhappy with the surgical/dental work. I think he did a good job. I do think they were pulling a fast one with the insurance...so keep track of that! read more

Do NOT waste your time or $400 for a TMJ consultation. He will berate you and refer you to another specialist. The staff are excellent. Dr. Lahar is a poor example of a professional and he only wants your money. He is not interested in helping his patients with treatment. read more
