Lawrence Kobren and Michael Greenbaum and I have been coming here for over 5 years now. The staff here are very friendly, my hygienist is nice and very thorough, and the dentists are both good. I also never feel like they're trying to push me to do any additional work that is unnecessary and any suggestions they do make are thoroughly explained. They recently remodeled and reconfigured their waiting area and it is modern, clean, spacious, and attractive. Parking is easy and they also offer free valet service during weekdays. Located just off of Northern Blvd., the office is conveniently located and easy to reach. They accept most major insurance plans.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Progressive Oral Surgery yesterday for my son's…read morewisdom teeth extractions. I want to begin by saying that I am a healthcare provider with Northwell, and this office--particularly Dr. Sacks--came highly recommended by our trusted primary dentist, whom we've seen for over 20 years and deeply respect. Unfortunately, the experience fell far below expectations. We were quoted a "worst-case scenario" out-of-pocket cost of $600, both by phone and again at check-in. At checkout, the bill was suddenly nearly $900--with no prior explanation. This felt deceptive, unprofessional, and deliberately misleading. After my son had all four impacted wisdom teeth removed, no pain medication was prescribed or even discussed--just "take Tylenol." I had to ask for ice packs myself, which should be standard. Most offices provide a jaw wrap ice pack, especially since they emphasize how important icing is on day one. Discharge instructions were rushed and vague. As a parent, I left the office feeling misled, frustrated, and concerned about my son's recovery. As a healthcare provider, I left shocked. I would not recommend this office to anyone seeking transparent billing, proper post-op care, or compassionate communication. I'll be informing our referring dentist of the experience, and I plan to report the billing issue to both the insurance company and Northwell, given that this office is in-network with Northwell Direct Cigna Dental.

Dr Harry Sacks was referred by my daughter's Orthodontist for a tooth extraction. I accompanied my…read moredaughter to her appt for moral support. The two young females at the front desk could definately use some professional courtesy training when working with the general public. After my daughter completed her new patient forms and handed them her photo ID, I asked about an insurance form and was told they don't take insurance. However on the phone when I made the appt for my daughter, I was asked what insurance she has and was told they don't take one of the insurance. Due to COVID-19, I understand that there is social distancing, limited spacing between patients, etc in medical offices; the person could have told me in a professional manner that I should wait outside of the office as many patients were coming in for their appts. Instead, I was told in a pejorative term that I have to leave the office: my daughter is over 18 and don't need me here; and, that the room is for patients only. I reminded her about the insurance and she said it was "free". To make a long story short, before my daughter was discharge out of the office, she was charged $575.00 for a (baby) tooth extraction and anesthesia!!! If the person on the phone said they don't take insurance in the first place, I would not have made the appt for her! [Was it just an office formality to ask what insurance the caller has just to reel them in to make an appt??!] The spelling of my daughter's name did not come close to the spelling that appears on her photo ID card that she presented to the person. [Do they even bother to look at a person's ID at all, especially to ensure the patient's name is correctly spelled on their dental record?!] Before the procedure began, my daughter said she gave the dentist her orthodontist referral slip & picture xray. He barely looked at the xray. I had to ask my daughter did the dentist remove the right tooth? This office is run like a racket from the start! Since it was a referral from a reputable Orthodontist, I assumed this dental office was just as reputable. We definately won't be recommending this office to friends & family!

The consultation itself was conducted very efficiently and professionally! The staff were so accommodating and wasted no time at all in getting me seen. With their advanced scanning, we found two impacted wisdom teeth on the top jaw . However, they did not scare me to going through with the extraction - they explained how they would remove them and how it may have happened. Fast forward to today, I was scheduled for an IV-anesthesia for the extraction of 2 wisdom teeth and 2 wisdom tooth crownesectomys. One being due to a fraud of a dentist I went to before these lovely folks. I did not want to risk a crook further damaging my tooth and the Dr. Goldstein thought the same and planned this prior to my visit. He explained what was wrong with its current state and everything went very smoothly! I was numbed down and felt hardly a thing, woke up with the entire surgery process completed. They had a big significance in making sure I had someone take me back home without risking my current state post-IV. These people truly care for you and your oral hygiene. Most definitely recommend!

I am beyond disappointed and frustrated with Dr. Soletic's lack of patience, compassion, and…read moreapparent inability to professionally handle a 9-year-old child experiencing severe dental anxiety and panic. My daughter needed a professional who knew how to communicate with her, explain each step, reassure her, build trust, and guide her through a frightening experience. Instead, she was left terrified, crying, screaming, and in distress, while Dr. Soletic failed to provide the patience and emotional support she desperately needed. Despite receiving medication to relax, nitrous oxide, and local anesthesia, the procedure was unsuccessful. To make matters worse, I was not allowed in the room to comfort my own daughter during her first experience of this kind. What is absolutely unacceptable to me is that three medical professionals were present, yet none were able to effectively calm, reassure, or guide a frightened 9-year-old through the procedure. My daughter endured fear, pain, and what I consider a traumatic experience, only to leave without having either tooth extracted. Now, instead of simply needing dental treatment, she has to overcome the emotional impact of this failed experience. Why accept a pediatric patient if you are not adequately prepared to manage a child's fear, anxiety, and resistance with patience and professionalism? Being technically qualified to perform an extraction is not enough. Working with children requires empathy, communication skills, patience, and the ability to make them feel safe. My daughter deserved compassionate care, not an experience that left her even more terrified of the dentist.

He pulled the rest of my remaining teeth, put me…read morein temps which were ill fitting, leaving a lot of space between bridges and gums and left them in place so long that I had more bone and gum loss. He did not do root preservation, insisted bone graft could not be done and that I did not have enough bone for the implants to go where they should. Actually I most certainly did, and bone graft is the proper way to do it. You don't tell someone who was married to a Dentist for 46 years that you can't do bone graft. He caused two infections which I had to take antibiotics for and wound up putting the implants wherever he felt there was more bone instead of in the roots my teeth had come from. One of them is so close to the outside of the bone it feels as though I have a wad of cotton on the gum and it extends into my nose causing one nostril to feel stuffed all the time. That particular implant was put in by one of his associates, who told me not to move or I would wind up with a fractured jaw. When I complained that the teeth on the bridge did not go down to the gums he said "They can't." It took me a long time to realize why. He put those implants so far out on the bone, wherever he could find bone, and nowhere near where my original teeth were so the bridges extend past the gum line, beyond my arches and as a result the teeth on the bridges cannot go into or even on the gums, they go out beyond the gums as though they are flapping in the wind. Both arches now zig zag. If they ended lower down the outside would fall beyond the gumline. Food goes inside and under which is impossible to clean and the whole thing looks disgraceful. I have constant sore areas and bleeding. He destroyed my bite, causing difficulty eating and speaking (I now lisp) and cosmetically has caused dimpling and bulging in the area under my lower lip, and thinning of my upper lip (He told me the upper lip thins as you get older. I guess I aged in one day). I looked as though I needed cosmetic surgery. The upper and lower teeth hit hard and make loud clicking noises when I eat, when I speak, and even when I close my mouth. ( tells me it's because there's nothing in the roots. No, it's because the upper and lower teeth are not even supposed to touch). I have to be very careful because if I forget and bite down too hard it feels like a shockwave going through my entire head. Since he jury rigged my whole upper and lower and then threw a cheaply made couple of bridges made of inferior material into my mouth they are crooked, (I look like I had a stroke). At one point I was so uncomfortable and complained enough so he said I was right- the lower bridge was way out of whack with the top, and he agreed to have his "lab" fix it. He then charged me $15,000 for the privilege. I discovered he actually put it down as $37,000 with a discount. I spent over two years running back and forth for adjustments hoping he could solve the problem which he didn't, to the tune of $100,000. They have a little troll in the back room which they call their "in house lab". The guy might as well have a knife and a block of clay. They claim to have six top technicians. It is a lie. The work is awful and the material inferior. Food sticks to every surface and I cannot let my teeth show after I eat. I have to brush them and use soft pix to clean them. The biting surfaces are sharp and ragged and since he moved the arches so far out to the sides and front of my mouth I am constantly biting into the tissue on the inside of my mouth causing pain and bleeding. When I told him about it he said there was nothing he could do about it . That's when I realized I had to go elsewhere. The huge sum of money I had paid paled in comparison with this disaster of a mouth because of a Dentist who should not be practicing. There are a few people he uses an outside lab for because he knows they will know the difference (so I found out), but he assumed that I, as a senior citizen along with what most of the people I have seen in the waiting room are, would accept it and believe everything I was told, and be grateful I am not wearing dentures. The end goal would be dentures at further charge once these implants would fail, which is a given. It cost me $100,000 to have this damage done to my mouth and my quality of life. His bottom line, and that of his practice, is to throw in a handful of implants wherever you want, jury rig a couple of cheap bridges to cover them, work as fast as you can, and never do bone graft or anything else which would eat up the profit. Then tell you how lucky you were to have extra time without dentures. One surgeon I went to after I left his office asked "Who in hell did this to you?" I have in writing from Livers' office that they would refund some of my money if I promised to hold them harmless. They also held back some of my records and models which also would not be given to me without a hold harmless.
