    Does anyone want to go to an oral surgeon? Not I. That said, I had a a very good experience. Why?…read moreDr Blitz's staff put me at ease. She fully explained the procedure ahead of time. On the day of the procedure, everything went as expected, she did her job vey calmly and I, was glad when it was over. I only have two complaints: 1. I am still short after the procedure and 2. My hair continues to thin. Seriously, Dr. Blitz is excellent. Donald K.

    I had several concerns about our experience with this practice, but I will focus on the issues that…read morewere most significant. Dr. Woke is pleasant, but throughout our interactions she made us feel rushed. I also found her explanations to be brief and incomplete, and I felt that concerns about my son's pain and recovery were often dismissed rather than fully addressed. My son had all four wisdom teeth removed. He was discharged with an anti-inflammatory medication but was not prescribed an antibiotic or a stronger pain medication. Approximately two hours after arriving home, he fainted while sitting at the dining room table, fell, and struck his head. His vital signs were low enough that an ambulance transported him to the emergency room for evaluation. Two days later, because his pain remained severe, I contacted the office to ask whether anything stronger could be prescribed. At that point, Dr. Woke prescribed Tylenol with codeine to help manage his pain. Two days after that, over the weekend, one side of my son's face became increasingly swollen and his pain escalated significantly. Dr. Woke examined him the following day and diagnosed a secondary infection at one of the extraction sites. The area had to be reopened and thoroughly irrigated. During the procedure, pus drained from the site as the local anesthetic was administered, confirming the severity of the infection. When I entered the room after the procedure, it was obvious how much pain my son was experiencing. I was disappointed by what I perceived as a lack of empathy regarding his condition. The initial plan appeared to be to send him home with antibiotics, and it was only after I specifically requested additional pain relief that Percocet was prescribed. I also asked when my son could safely return to work. Although Dr. Woke initially stated he could return immediately, she also advised that he should not lift more than 20 pounds for two days. My son works as a full-time automotive mechanic, making those restrictions incompatible with the physical demands of his job. I ultimately requested a work excuse extending his leave by three days, and that note was provided. Because my son missed six business days of work, he applied for short-term disability benefits and FMLA job protection. When the insurance paperwork was sent to the office, the office manager refused to complete it, stating that my son would not qualify because he was "not disabled." When I asked for clarification, I was told that because he could walk and talk, he was capable of working and it was up to his employer to provide accommodations. This was difficult to understand given that he had a documented postoperative infection, was experiencing severe pain, was taking prescribed narcotic medication that prevented him from driving, and was physically unable to perform the duties of his job as a mechanic. It was frustrating that the office declined to complete the paperwork based on its own assessment of his eligibility rather than allowing the insurance company to make that determination. Our experience left us feeling that communication, compassion, and patient advocacy were lacking. I understand that complications can occur after surgery and I do not fault the practice for the infection itself. However, I do expect clear communication, appropriate attention to pain management, empathy during recovery, and cooperation with necessary medical documentation. Unfortunately, those expectations were not met, and based on our experience, I cannot recommend this practice.

    Comfortable, wonderful experience under the care of Dr Joshua Abrahams! Highly recommended for…read moreimplant surgery! It's hard to believe this is the way someone would describe having six teeth replaced to install 3 implants which then support a new set of six teeth. But the smooth gentle process, and the care from the staff and the doctor were actually a pleasure to experience. I was very positively impressed by Dr Abrahams' expertise as he moved smoothly, thoughtfully and confidently through each step of my several procedures. At each of my several visits over a period of months, I was pleased by how quickly each step moved forward and was completed with no complications and relatively no pain or discomfort. Dr Abrahams must be doing gentle, precise, careful work because after each of session of implant surgery, my personal experience was NO BLEEDING, NO SWELLING, NO PAIN, and NO COMPLICATIONS. Dr. Abrahams even called me at home a day later to assure I was recovering properly and to answer questions I might have. I could not be more satisfied!

    Dr Abrams is the absolute best oral surgeon. My 7 year old daughter needed to have a tooth…read moreextracted.

    I wish I was better at remembering names, I'm so sorry I can't be more specific, but! Genuinely…read moreeveryone at Dr. Sheehan's office was super friendly and helpful- from scheduling ( and rescheduling ) my appointments, new patient checkin, and explaining my insurance coverage. Dr. Sheehan and the tech who did my xrays and whatnot were both great about answering my dozens of questions, and were both friendly in a way that chilled out my anxiety and made me feel WAY more comfortable and confident in getting dental work done than I honestly thought was actually possible. If you're like me and sometimes need to battle your anxiety to just schedule dentist appointments when you know you should've booked yesterday, schedule with Dr. Sheehan. No judgement, no pressure, just a really great dentist with a really wonderful staff.

    Wish I saw the other several bad reviews before I ever found this place that took my insurance plan…read moreand then there was THIS: Lying office that also told my insurer some totally opposite story as to what actually took place here after I made a complaint about her. Gee, I'm not surprised for after what's taken place and why so anyhow. This dentist is one of disgust for operating how she had and this experience for me by far was one of the most unsettling in dentistry. Start with their "practice tactics", how they conduct and operate, with my matter as a new patient (with a "Medicaid" based insurance, which you accept but silently frown upon?) For the unfortunate who need this insurance as their security and assists being our only health coverages but still, I'm grateful to have ANY at all. NOW what began here with Dr. lacking ethic and some logic by way of proper care and communication - what a wonder that ANY dentist would make any patient wait 8 wks. I am talking EIGHT long weeks to return, after the initial visit to start for the very needed dental work I came for? AND right after prognosis, your office tells me it'll be 2 months later for the next appointment to do it and how busy you are? Huh? Yea sure, yet the office had nobody in it both times I was there, the very first was for a cleaning/exam previously 6 months done by your retired and much nicer associate sho retired since then. Practice is a small one and not so busy a place and also, I drive by it plenty. Attitude given to me when I was pretty shocked about why so long to begin a very first step for my issue. The actual work for my issue, takes maybe one hour! ONE. A very first appt. revealed the need for "removal and replacement of loose post" with a crown new. You temp. cement in my old crown, quickly came off days after that, and it left me with an exposed, (as in uncapped) loose post, you would've had me wait 2 months with, likely it to worsen when you could've taken care of it within a "reasonable timeframe". You lie badly, telling insurer I said things I never would've - stuff unsettling to hear when they told me this. How you also wasted 2 wks after exam, JUST for "approval" all when these can only take "days", at most, a week, after being submitted "electronically" BUT you sat on that for awhile but once it got done - you NEVER called me for the appt. How I find out was WHEN the paper approval (copy) came in MY mailbox, another week after you already had approval! I called there twice after exam. THEN you add on another week, after I call asking for appt when your office couldn't care less and won't let me l make an in advance" appt. ON the very day I was there, that first time and after exam was done. How it gets worse, no calls to me after your weeks with approval done - AND all passing time was wasted by your own hand AND this just to BEGIN this step 1 of a 2 part procedure? Clearly did not care or concern with this 2 months (absurd) AND how that was leaving me with an existing loose post, it was exposed, loose, my old crown YOU cement temp., came off quick enough after I left your office that week. You have many office hours but NOT one hour for months for my tooth needs, none within 6-8 weeks time? Just basic math and logic and having previous dentists all tells me you could have found an hour and a date being less than 2 months away and this after weeks of your delaying me as it was. Really I'm now glad this all went down. As a result, I've since found a new and ethical dental practice and all's turned out great AND they had a new approval, for same procedure, within 3 days time, shall I assume it was just a miracle? They gave me an appointment within days of my call AND has already finished ALL crown prep, within days of calling them with my story here. IMMEDIATELY after I got off the phone with your office that day - with your biased gatekeeper, who first asks this, as if to need reminder, "what's your insurance again?" and NEXT she tells me their ONLY first appt. available IS at the "end of May" this was the 30th", too crazy to me hearing anything that far off and seeing weeks you wasted, BEFORE this, you can't be serious but were. This all was so unsettling and as you know, made complaint to my insurer- and then I get your attention? You sent me letters, and why? A certified letter and another same not cert. - just to inform me - due to my complaint, I'm not to come back again? LoL. Funny in that I def. wasn't planning on ever coming back. Thankful now to have found a good dental practice that's already halfway through the procedures. Office that got approvals done within days, books appts in right ways and who made sure my tooth wasn't to remain compromised. I'm happy with nice, caring, people with a good vibe, so I do thank you for something. This!
