To: Office Manager Union City Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery…read moreGroup Location: 312 44th Street, Union City, NJ 07087 License Number: DI01888113 NPI: 1356626139 Subject: Formal Complaint: Aggressive and Violent Conduct by Staff Member Dear Office Manager, I am writing to formally report a serious incident that occurred during my visit to your facility on [07/07/2025], immediately following my wisdom tooth surgery. While attempting to arrange transportation via Uber, I was verbally confronted by a staff member identified as Shu Hopkins. Mr. Hopkins exhibited aggressive and vulgar behavior, which culminated in him violently snatching my phone out of my hand mid-call while I was speaking with a witness via FaceTime. I was in a vulnerable state, recovering from anesthesia and disoriented, which made his conduct even more distressing and unacceptable. The incident was witnessed in real time via FaceTime, and the individual on the call is prepared to submit a supporting statement attesting to the aggression and physical nature of the act. At the time of the incident, Emily Herbst, whom I understand is the daughter of the practice owner and was serving as manager on duty, was present. I am requesting a full internal investigation into the behavior of Mr. Hopkins and a formal response from your office outlining what steps will be taken to address this matter and prevent similar occurrences in the future. Your practice, registered under New Jersey Dental License Number DI01888113 and NPI 1356626139, has an obligation to provide a safe and respectful environment for all patients. I intend to escalate this matter to the appropriate regulatory and legal authorities should there be no satisfactory response. Please let me know if you require any additional documentation or contact details for the witness. Hopefully this does not get deleted. if so i have proof of uploads dates and time stamp photos.

Dr Barrios did a great job!…read more I have a constricted jaw and my wisdom tooth was impacted. A couple of months back he removed both my lower wisdom tooth and i don't have toothache now. After reading reviews about how the surgery would go and sufferings of people who underwent this surgery, i have to be honest, i was scared to death. But Dr Barrios was able to calm my nerves and i din't feel much pain after the surgery. I would go to him again and would certainly refer my family and friends to him. Great doctor!!

Unethical billing practices!…read more I received treatment in February and insurance coverage was all satisfied and my out of pocket was paid and good to go. They called 6 months later stating there was an issue with the coverage and now I owe an additional 500$ out of pocket and it will shortly go to collections due to the timeframe. Save the trouble and don't go here. I should've paid more attention to similar reviews stating the same tactics. Please avoid this place if you can.

$2,000 Unexpected Bills and Lack of Transparency…read more Avoid this clinic. There are numerous reports of patients facing unexpected bills, even after the office made it seem that everything was resolved with insurance and payment. In April, I had my teeth extracted by Dr. Isabelle DeMatteis. This clinic was everything I did not expect as a patient. As a patient, you trust that the office will care for you, and this includes making sure you can afford the treatment. I read the reviews and felt hesitant, but I decided to trust the clinic because many times I asked about my treatment, and they made me believe it could not cost more than the amount indicated, as they were handling the insurance. Now, I completely regret not listening to other patients. From what I see in reviews, the clinic has a pattern of sending unexpected bills after treatment has already been completed, which leads me to believe that the office has little interest in giving patients information on how to get an accurate quote from insurance regarding the cost of treatment. I only confirmed my appointment after receiving the treatment plan, trusting that the office had checked with my insurance as I was told. At no point--neither in person nor via message--was I informed that the final cost could be so drastically different, or that I might need another prior authorization. At no time was I advised to check with my insurance or request a prior authorization myself. I ended up being charged over $2,000 for two wisdom tooth extractions. I had this treatment because of pain, and I feel shocked and misled--I believed I was being properly cared for, and now I feel deceived. Where are Dr. Paul Calat and Dr. Michele? It seems that the dentists at this clinic are not at all concerned with the many negative reviews from patients who felt misled by the office. Clear communication and guidance regarding insurance and costs would go a long way toward preventing unnecessary stress. I am taking steps to understand my rights as a patient. If you feel the same way, I encourage you to do the same. And if you haven't become a patient yet, find another office--protect your health and avoid unnecessary stress.

I am so glad because Dr. Pozzi is (and still is) the best dentist I've ever been to. He is kind, gentle, and thorough and I always feel completely comfortable in his care. Its seriously the complete opposite of Dr. Schwarzwald and I felt compelled to share my review because he shouldn't be bunched into the same abysmal category as Dr. Schwarzwald.
