YES!!! I had a great day thanks to Dr. Hornung at Merrimack Valley Oral Surgeons. My impression of Dr. Hornung, who I met for the first time today, he is one of the uppermost skilled medical professional I have experienced as far as I can remember. He explained to me my options in a very clear precise way without any medical jargon. As result of that, his explanation helped me make the best possible decision about my oral needs and my finance as it relates to the excellent service and care he provided today. The only downside, my procedure started 20 minutes late despite arriving more than 30 minutes early which meant I should have deducted one star from his awesome service. So why did I still rate Dr. Hornung at Merrimack Valley Oral Surgeons with 5 stars? It is because he called me personally over the phone that same evening, a personal call, to see how I was doing. I was like, wow! That has never ever happened to me in my entire life where the doctor calls you back to check on you to see how you are doing. BOOM! 5 stars. The procedure was done before I realized it was ever even started. I was very comfortable during the entire procedure. The meds he prescribed were ready for pick up at my local pharmacy when I arrived home. I took the meds he prescribed as recommended. I feel nearly pain free and relaxed. I strongly recommend Dr. Hornung at Merrimack Valley Oral Surgeons! Like I said earlier, it was great day! read more

I had a great experience at Merrimack Valley Oral Surgeons in Stoneham. Dr. Esbah did two dental implants for me, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I was pretty nervous going in, but Dr. Esbah and the entire team were patient, understanding, and made me feel comfortable the whole time. They were very professional and did excellent work. Highly recommend! read more

Dr. Esbah took great care of my son this morning as he needed 3 baby teeth extracted. We LOVED Mary-Lou - so sweet, caring, and attentive. Would highly recommend this practice. read more

Dr. Esbah is the real deal. I struggled for years with sleep apnea. I tried so many things including C-Pap which all failed. I finally went to Merrimack Valley Oral Surgeons at 88 Montvale Ave Ste 5 Stoneham, MA 02180. Dr. Esbah & his staff created me a custom dental mouthpiece. It has cured me 100% of sleep apnea. I feel rested once again and I've finally taken control of my health. I can't thank Dr. Esbah and his staff enough for this life changing device. If you are like me and are currently suffering with sleep apnea, please call Merrimack Valley Oral Surgeons and let Dr. Esbah change your life like he did mine. 5-Star Doctor & Staff. I put me name on this review 100% read more

Walk in emergency patient here. They were booked and took in in for an extraction, my tooth and gumline was infected. Within 2 hrs I was in the chair and tooth out and on my way home. Post-op instructions were clear . Dr Esbah and Courtney made me feel at ease through the whole process. 4 days out and things much better. Would recommend M.V.O. S.. Thank you, Kathy read more

My husband had to have a wisdom tooth pulled and we were referred to Merrimack Valley Oral Surgeons. Dr. Esbah and his assistant Alexis were wonderful. They put my husband at ease and it was a very non stressful experience for him. Dr. Esbah also called us that evening to see how my husband was doing. Would Highly recommend Dr. Esbah to anyone needing a tooth pulled. read more

This is truly a terrible facility in my opinion. I visited Merrimack Valley Oral Surgeons for TMJ treatment and was recommended a custom mouth guard, with assurances that most of the cost would be covered by insurance. After completing the fittings, I was later billed a substantial amount that insurance didn't cover--something that wasn't communicated to me upfront. Had I been informed of the actual out-of-pocket expense, I wouldn't have proceeded with the treatment. I ultimately couldn't even use the mouth guard and had to get another fitting elsewhere. I am disappointed by the lack of transparency regarding costs and the outcome of this experience. read more

I was here for a tooth extraction. The office was extremely clean. The staff was great in easing my anxiety and explained everything to me. The Dr. went above and beyond in making sure I was comfortable during my procedure and followed up with me that evening to see how I was doing. I would highly recommend this Dental practice.

I have been a patient of Dr. Esbah on two different occasions. When he performed an implant on me two years ago, I was so impressed with his professional demeanor that I requested an appointment with him when I needed a biopsy. He has such a great sense of humor that he puts you at ease, immediately. He is easy to talk to, gentle and always lets you know what he will do and what pain you may expect, before he begins the procedure. His assistants with whom I have interacted are friendly and make sure you are comfortable throughout your procedure. There is no question I would recommend him for all oral surgeries. read more

I was referred by my dentist to get a tongue biopsy because of some weird spots. On the appointment day I had to wait a while in the chair because my dentist hadn't forwarded the formal referral and then they needed to get insurance approval from Cigna. The staff were very apologetic and offered to reschedule but I didn't mind waiting. The procedure itself was really quick, like 20 minutes. Tongue stitches are no fun but I was eating solid food again in about 4 days. They gave me the option of "strong" or "medium" pain medication which I assume is vicodin or codeine (I opted for medium which was tylenol+codeine and 600mg ibuprofens, which was more than enough for me). Dr. Esbah called the next day just to follow up. Luckily the biopsy results were negative. Dr Esbah and the nurses were great. Hopefully I never need oral surgery services again but I wouldn't hesitate to go back. read more

Dr. Esbah did my tooth implant with minimim bleeding and I did not even take a single one pill of pain killer. He called me twice after the surgery asking if everything is ok. From the x-ray image, he did an excellent job putting implant at very precise position at pricise depth. He is far the best implant surgeon I have ever experienced (5 implants in my mouth). great job ! Y Gao read more

Incompetent. Wasted two months of my time then dropped me as a patient because I have a pacemaker.

The dentist is not always the easiest place, especially an oral surgeon, but at Merrimack Valley Oral Surgery I had a great experience! I had both of my bottom wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Esbah and his wonderful team at their Stoneham office. They made all instructions clear prior to the procedure and answered all of my moms questions post op. I highly recommend this office and their highly qualified team!! read more

This office is amazing the staff is wonderful very kind and understanding. Just three days ago I had to have emergency mouth surgery to remove a root from my tooth that was stuck in my bone the procedure went wonderful I felt nothing the dentist was wonderful I want to give Dr. esbah a is very special thank you for being so gentle when I was in so much pain and being so nice and kind and friendly read more

They are the best. I had Dr. Swaroop and he was the best and most gentle oral surgeon i have been to. I would highly recommend this place and him. I also healed better then ever and had no issues with my tooth being pulled. thank you read more

I was treated by Dr Swaroop. I had an excellent experience with my procedure, felt nothing through the process and had a quick recovery. It was easy to get an appointment and the entire process was very convenient. I would highly recommend! read more

I went to this office about a year ago to get my wisdom teeth removed. First doctor Neil S. Hornung yelled at me for not sitting correctly on the chair, then proceed to start an IV without telling me that it was his first time. I did not want to be used as a guinea pig, I should've been informed. I asked him to close the blind because there are kids playing outside and it makes me very uncomfortable that the blinds were open while they were going to perform a procedure. They refused to close the blinds and proceeded to tell me that the kids are not looking. No patient should be treated this way. read more

Dr Esbah is great. Really made me feel at ease. No one like a visit to an oral surgeon but this office made me as comfortable as possible.

Got my wisdom teeth out. They were professional, clean and friendly. I'm healing up quickly and my mouth feels so much better. They also handled all the insurance crap themselves. read more

Dr. Esbah and Roxy are amazing!!!! I was so nervous getting all 4 wisdom teeth extracted, but the whole service was completed within an hour, seamless and so quick! I was so comforted by the entire office, dr. Esbah and roxy in particular! My 3 siblings have gotten their wisdom teeth extracted here as well. I would recommend EVERYONE AND ANYONE to come here!! I am in literally ZERO pain just a day after the extraction. I was nervous for no reason! Thank you dr. esbah!!! read more

Went to Stoneham office 3 weeks ago for a ordinary tooth extraction with novacaine as recommended by my dentist. It is a very cold/clinical place where the first thing they do is take $100 as an upfront deposit before submitting to insurance, as both music and tv play at the same time in the waiting room! I am still getting painful bone fragments through my gums at the extraction site. The oral surgeon I had was more concerned with talking to his associate during the extraction about some delicious snack he ate (while I was getting numb) than getting the tooth out without shattering it. They give you a sheet and 2 small squares of gauze for aftercare. My gums bled almost 8 hours before finally clotting...when I called I got answering service and then I got a call back from a different doctor who not so assuringly said if I was concerned, I should go to emergency room or call back next day. They gave only a 6 day supply of ibuprofen and tylenol...gave 1 refill, but when I tried to get more ibuprofen 600 due to 2 painful bone shards (and now a third) they did not renew it! I have had 3 prior tooth extractions at small, private oral surgeon practices with no issues...the impression I got of this place is all about filling appointment schedules and moving on to the next victim as quickly as possible! Avoid! I will be telling my dentist about the experience I had in the hope that he will no longer refer patients to them. read more

Do you want to know why Dr. Green is OUTSTANDING? I saw him as new patient appointment/oral surgery appointment. Immediately impressed by his friendliness and calm demeanor putting me right at ease. Took plenty of time to answer extra questions I had with out rushing me. 3.5 hours post-op he called to check up on me and left me his cell phone number . Who does that anymore?! Usually MD's call from a blocked number after you have paged them about a problem. Not Dr. Green! He is personable and a top notch DDS,MD. Highly recommended. In addition, I found the front desk staff and assistants to be very nice and helpful. Good communication with this office. read more

I went there over 10 years ago and the firm is excellent. My fiance recently went there for a conflict that no one could really figured out after so many visits to other dentist, oral surgeons, er, etc. This firm did. He has had the same excellent service that I did 10+ years ago. They always take you on time and the customer service is amazing. read more

If you are in your late 20's be prepared to be treated like a drug addict by the nurses and dr. Greene. They caused the opiate epidemic, and now they're too skittish to prescribe the proper medication. The vicodin they gave me was mostly caffeine and I was awake for the next 4 days after surgery. Literally only slept 10 hrs of 96hrs. Naturally because I was conscious for 96 straight hours my pain meds (21 vicodins) were gone by the third day. The pain was so bad I pissed myself, I made an emergency appointment only to be treated like a junkie. I was really hurt by that. I have never abused pain meds in my life. I have severe anxiety and depression which I'll admit makes me look like shit sometimes but I'm always sober. These people here at merrimack valley oral should be closed down for their extreme unprofessionalism and complete disregard for their patients well being. Assholes. read more

If you're going to have wisdom teeth (or any teeth) extractions, go here. I've seen Dr. Bacos twice now for wisdom teeth and molar removal, and both times I've had zero complications and have healed up nicely. The wisdom teeth I had were impacted, and risked having nerve damage because of where they were located, but Dr. Bacos removed them with no damage oncesoever. This might be superstitious, but I prefer Bacos to Dr. Esbah, but only because the one time I saw him, my extraction wound up having a ton of bony fragments popping up out of my gums, and it was pretty annoying, and that never happened with Dr. Bacos surgeries. It might have been a fluke occurance and the fault of my body, but still, I didn't want to risk it happening again. This place is not super cheap, and expect to wait in the waiting room for a long time. But overall, the surgeries are done with great care and expertise. I recommend! read more

Not enough can be said about Dr. Esbah. After searching for an oral surgeon to take my case for over 2 years, I met him and knew I would be in great hands. I have undergone a few very intense mouth surgeries now and he has made me feel so comfortable each time. After every surgery, he calls that same night to check in on me. If I had any pain or concern he would squeeze me in that same day. We have been going through this process for a year together and him and his whole team has gone above and beyond. I am truly so grateful to have found him! I would and do recommend him and his team to anyone looking for the best care possible. read more

I went with someone to have a tooth extracted. The office has special days for people on MassHealth (public assistance). This was one of them. The staff were extremely rude. They must have taken customer diss-service classes. I couldn't even get a light conversation going. While the surgeon was doing the procedure, he never said anything to my friend. BTW my friend is a very dark African. While I was waiting a young woman came storming out and said to her companion, We're leaving! They can't find a vein! It went down from there. There's got to be a better place to go!! read more

Months later, healed up, ready to review. I had intermittent gum pain for a couple of years due to wisdom teeth growing in and I finally decided to remove them. I called to schedule an appointment and came in for a consultation with Dr. Esbah; they put on a brief video detailing some of the common risks, benefits, etc. I was fortunate to have only 2 wisdom teeth grow in, albeit on opposite sides, so the extraction wasn't awful. My understanding is simple: I come in, they knock me out, teeth come out, shakes for days. That's essentially how it happened too. I went under, woke up with 2 less teeth, beat one of the staff in rock-paper-scissors and went on my merry way. I was mildly surprised that they didn't use the dissolving stitches and the feeling drove me insane - it's like having something stuck between your teeth indefinitely, but it is what it is. With that being said, I thought I would've come back 2 weeks later to get the stitches removed, but they had me come in after 1 week. I would've liked to heal more before that, but then I remembered the feeling between my teeth so it was kind of welcome at that point. The bottom line is this: pay attention to the video, follow ALL the instructions provided and you'll be fine. Your best bets would be soup, smoothies (without seeds), protein shakes, ice cream, yogurt, applesauce, mashed potatoes.. man, I'm hungry. Oh and tons of water, especially with the pain medication you may take. I wasn't a big fan of the pain medication which had opiates. Monitoring and scheduling when you're taking antibiotics and pain medication can be frustrating. I'll admit that I cheated a little bit because I was starving, but I was mostly good about eating when I had to and not eating when I shouldn't. read more

I have been here twice now to remove my wisdom teeth! Dr.Esbah is great and called me both nights after surgery to check in on me! Both times I was terrified and he did nothing but try to help me relax! His assistant Sydney was just as kind and made me feel comfortable while I recovered! God forbid I ever need another tooth extraction I know where to call!! read more

All I've ever heard about wisdom teeth extractions were nightmares. My experience was a dream! Such a clean, organized, and bright environment. ALL the staff are so friendly and sociable, and Dr. Hornung is awesome. Like any usual human being, I was nervous for the surgery. Especially because of my asthma and sleep apnea. Dr. Hornung's charisma took away that fear! And I was treated with such great care. I didn't have much pain or swelling at all after the procedure. Even getting the stitches out leaves you with a smile leaving the office. Overall, I don't believe I could've had a better experience! If you are looking for somewhere to get your wisdom teeth removed, this is the place! read more

I had 6 wisdom teeth that needed to be removed and Dr. Esbah and the team made it as easy and pain free as possible. Dr. Esbah also was very conscious about my finances and was able to help me keep the price low! read more

The doctors and staff are really nice and friendly. They did the oral surgery very neat and clean. I suffered very little after the surgery. While it takes a too long time for you to get an appointment. read more

Merrimack valley oral surgeons takes the cake for worst care I've ever received. I got my wisdom teeth extracted and let me tell you how much pain I was in which was expected. But when I told them the medicine I was given was not working for pain they could have cared less. Treated me like a junkie and gave me a whole speech on the phone about the opioid epidemic. I didn't sleep for 72 hours after my surgery due to the intense pain. The assistants are also rude as anything. I went in to see them 2 times after my surgery about pain management and I got the same bullshit both times. After my second visit there I took my temperature that night after the doctor proceeded to tell me "everything is fine and you don't seem to have a fever"... I had a fever of 101 which clearly meant I had an infection. NEVER ever going here again. Lastly the on call doctor "jokingly" told me not once, not twice, but 3 times not to call him in the middle of the night ever again. 3 months later.... went for a annual visit with my dentist and she found a suture still in my mouth!!! read more

Dr Esbah and his staff were great. Surgical procedure for my 14 year old daughter went smoothly. Professional and kind all around.

I mean the job was done so I can't complain all that much. However, I should of said something when I was there but unfortunately my mouth was full of gauze. I told the dentist I didn't need a prescription for medication. I never take medicine for anything, colds, headaches , cramps, I can deal with a little pain to avoid putting a bunch of chemicals in my body. However when I told them I didn't need a prescription they then began to treat me like a drug addict. So that didn't feel good. If they took one second to listen to me they would of realized I just prefer a holistic approach. Also I waited over an hour for a tooth to be pulled in less than two minutes. lol but I'm a pretty patient person so it didn't bother me but just a heads up for anyone else. read more

Talked to an employee in regards to insurance and she had a rude attitude. If I remember correctly, her name was Christine. If you're gonna work in customer service, don't have a stank ass attitude. It's just that simple. read more

Great service, staff, and results! I had to remove my wisdom teeth and didn't feel a thing. Staff was nice and caring leading up to the procedure, and I wasn't nervous at all. Great experience overall. read more

I'll start this review by saying, never, ever, again will I even step foot into this place. I went there for a consultation for TMJ. I walked in and paid the $80, everything was fine. As I walked into the room I actually was VIEWING a patient who was under anesthesia having surgery. The door wasn't closed, it was actually horrifying. That was wrong #1. I quickly asked myself how would I feel if that was me, not very good. So I walked out and because of that experience I decided to be treated elsewhere. With that being said I was sent a bill regarding this $80 that I already paid. The front desk woman was not very nice but told me that the prior office manager was fired for reasons similar so therefore that is could be why the money was misplaced. To avoid anything further I PHYSICALLY went into the office and paid another $80. About two weeks ago I receive a letter from a COLLECTION AGENCY LOOKING FOR THIS $80 AGAIN. I called the office, no one had any answers, and the girl that I spoke to WAS CURSING at me regarding the fact that it "wasn't her problem". Needless to say if I could give this place ONE star I would. read more

Dr. Hornung is awesome! I was extremely anxious about getting all four wisdom teeth removed. During my first consultation, he addressed all my concerns - pain, anesthesia, healing, and so on. I wanted to make sure I did not see or feel anything during the procedure and that's exactly what happened. I was given general anesthesia and the whole procedure felt like a 15 minute nap. During the recovery period, I followed all the instructions provided by Dr. Hornung and his staff. No swelling, no bruising, and really no pain. Make sure you ice as much as possible after the surgery, take the pills, and stay on a liquid/soft diet. I took 3 days off from work to make sure I had time to heal. The difficult part is really just eating- you get tired of eating soup and drinking smoothies. Overall my experience was great! I definitely recommend Dr. Hornung. read more
