OMG, Dr. Marc B. Hertz is the best kept secret in all of Brooklyn, NY. This oral surgeon extracted 14 teeth (my 12 teeth and my husband's 2 teeth) in 30 minutes (numbing period included). Dr. Hertz knows his stuff (surgical duties and office work when his assistants aren't available), is no-nonsense about his work but is very caring and can be very comical. To alleviate my fear and possible pain, I put on my walkman with headphones turned up very loud on Salsa music, laid back, closed my eyes and relaxed (a trick I learned from a former dentist which works like a charm). 9 of my teeth extracted easy and the other 3 were more difficult but Dr. Hertz was patient & tackled the job without incident. FolIowing my surgery, I walked and took care of some errands for an hour (picked up prescriptions, visited a notary, and stopped at another store) while pushing my husband in a wheelchair. Once home, I began eating soft foods one and a half hours after the surgery (like pudding and mashed potatoes) while rinsing my mouth out with room temperature water after each meal and then return to regular meals the next day. I followed all of the post surgery rules and procedures to a tee and I NEVER felt a drop of pain or NEVER knew when the drugs/injections wore off. We only took our antibiotics and never used the pain killer meds. After having been fearful and worried for a whole month prior to the surgery, I felt happy and relieved that I had a very pleasant total experience with Dr. Hertz. I had no previous personal knowledge of Dr. Hertz but I noticed he had good reviews and a high rating online - and now I know why. From the start, I've nicknamed him "Dr. No Hurts" and his assistants are super nice too. read more

If you're looking for a very skilled,super quick,caring, patient,competent oral surgeon . Dr Hertz is your man . I dislike visiting doctors or dentist and am super selective when it comes to choosing the right ones. Dr Hertz came highly recommended and i have to say he outdid my expectations . His office staff is really nice ,pleasant and accommodating.He explained the procedure and patiently answered all my questions prior to the surgery. He was upbeat and quite funny which made the experience somewhat enjoyable (seriously:) It took him about 3-5 minutes to complete (less time then it taking me to write this review:-). He gave me a follow up kit with clear instructions along with his contact info.I have visited his office on 3 separate occasions(2 impacted wisdom teeth and another procedure) and have since recommended him to quite a few others who seemed equally happy and satisfied. Thank You Dr .Hertz ! You're the BEST! B.Max read more

Dr. Hertz and staff are very kind, courteous and personable. I went in to his office as a new patient for an emergency visit, and was shocked to see a full waiting room. The doctor came out into the room to see how everyone was, and was joking around with an obviously nervous little girl that was waiting to have some teeth extracted. When it was my turn, the doctor explained the entire procedure ( 2 wisdom teeth, one almost infected...) and possible side effects and other concerns. Then, without exaggeration, 5 minutes later, before I even knew what was happening, both teeth were out! Dr. Hertz then gave me some prescriptions to fill, and told me what each one was for, and all about them. Now I know why there were so many people waiting for him. He is a top notch doctor and a top notch person to deal with. Thank you so much Dr. Hertz and staff, keep up the great work!!! read more

I had a great experience with Dr. Hertz for my wisdom teeth extraction. From the start, he was kind, calm, and really took the time to explain everything so I felt comfortable and knew what to expect. He is extremely knowledgeable and very detailed in the way he explains and handles everything. He was also very upfront about costs, which I really appreciated, and everything was explained clearly with no surprises. The procedure and recovery both went really smoothly, and I appreciated how gentle and attentive he was throughout. He also checked in by phone and responded quickly to my emails, answering all my questions with patience and care, which made a big difference in easing my anxiety. Overall, I'd definitely recommend Dr. Hertz if you're looking for a dentist who is skilled, caring, and easy to talk to. Shoshana read more

I went to Dr. Hertz and was greeted by a very pleasant young lady behind the reception area. After filling out some forms (it was my first visit) I waited in the waiting room for a short time, Dr. Hertz apologized for the wait and said he would be with me shortly. I found him to be very friendly, warm and caring. I had a wisdom tooth extracted and before the procedure, he explained every single step of the way to me as far as what he was going to do and what I should expect. He was very kind and gave me a lot of detailed information which was very helpful. The experience was a very positive and pleasant one, which can be tricky when having a tooth pulled! The office has a very nice, friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend Dr. Marc Hertz the next time you need an oral surgeon. read more

Just got two wisdom teeth pulled out two hours ago, went quick and so fast I really didn't expect it to be this smooth, Doctor is so soft and gentle explains everything so you know what is going to happen. The staff are super sweet and helpful willing to be flexible if you have an emergency like I had..The other reviews spoke about a long wait, I came first in the morning so didn't have to wait at all. Even if I would have to wait it would have been so worth it because he does such a quick and professional job that I will recommend him to all my friends and family. I was in and out of the place less than an hour. I am coming back again for the other side in a week and would not go to anyone else!!!!! Thank you dr Hertz! Your really the best!! read more

Great oral surgeon! Very nice guy! Will actually pick up the phone and answer your questions and takes most insurances. I had my wisdom teeth extracted with him and believe me when I tell you it was 100% painless, he gave me the IV demerol&valium to "take the edge off" and I truly didn't feel a thing aside from hearing some crackling, both my wisdosm were out in 3-4 seconds. No complains about the doc! He does have one nasty receptionist that gets her sha-nay-nay on with patients over the phone ( nice in person- go figure!)but the great thing is you truly don't have to deal with her since dr hertz will actually pick up the phone!! Highly recommend to everyone and would send my family to him! read more

THE BEST EVER!!!!! Needed a wisdom tooth pulled. I was out of town at the time it started hurting. By the time I got back I was in agony! Not even strong painkillers could help. Dr. Hertz agreed to see me even though it was at the end of the day on Friday before the weekend and he still had a long trip home! Bottom line the extraction went as smooth as possible. He did such a good job that within 24 hours I was completely off painkillers and feeling almost normal. I had no swelling at all. A couple of days later Dr. Hertz even called me to see how I was doing. I would highly recommend anyone that needs an Oral Surgeon use Dr. Hertz. They will be happy they did! read more

Best Oral Surgeon in NYC!!! Got all my wisdom teeth removed by him with no problems whatsoever. I was very nervous going in, I thought the recovery would be long and painful. He made me feel very comfortable, and the procedure was over very quickly with no pain at all. The recovery was almost non-existent, I had no pain and was back to normal within a few days. When I needed a consultation on an infected tooth, he saw me even though he was overbooked. I have had a few friends get extractions by him and they all had similar experiences. I strongly recommend him to anyone that needs an oral surgeon!! read more

Went back to Dr. Hertz today to get the remainder of my wisdom teeth removed. One of the removals wasn't quite as easy as the two I had done 1.5 weeks ago. I experienced pain during it (which was due to my tooth, not because of anything Dr. Hertz did incorrectly or anything along those line) but Dr. Hertz and his assistant both did everything they possibly could to ensure I was feeling better and helped me calm down. Point is, even when the situation isn't easy or ideal, everything was handled terrifically. I would still very much recommend Dr. Hertz to anyone I know. read more

I was referred by Dr Oliphant to have my tooth extracted.. I was nervous about going to a dentist that did not know me... Usually they are quiet and without personality... Dr hertz. was amazing.. He made you feel very comfortable and eased the process of having my tooth removed.. I was expecting a lot of pain during the process but there was minimal pain..He talked me through the process and made the experience as a whole pleasant... If you want a dentist that is caring, and gentle, I recommend Dr. Hertz.. I found an oral surgeon for life... read more

I went to Dr. Hertz in November of 2013 to have some root removals done on a back tooth; I can attest that both he and his staff are not only competent, caring, and sensitive to the patient's needs, but they are really humble people, devoid of arrogance and self-importance. It's my pleasure to give Dr. Hertz and his staff my unqualified endorsement; working with him in a patient role has helped to restore my faith in the NYC dental profession; and no, I was not paid to write these words; he and his staff earned every syllable. read more

Had a broken tooth that had become infected and swollen. Called the office and left a message regarding tooth. Received a call back from Dr. Hertz the next day. We talked about the tooth, asked if I was in pain, if so I could see him that day. I have no insurance, so we talked about various fees for extractions. I had checked around so his price was fair. I found Dr. Hertz to be a very personable and caring people person, with a warm staff. You may have a little waiting time, but worth it. read more

I was terrified of having a tooth extracted today. As soon as I met \Dr. Hertz he made me feel at ease. He was kind and comforting. He explained what would happen and calmed my nerves. He made the whole process so much better than I had ever expected it would be. He is a dedicated professional and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs an oral surgeon. The tooth came out easily and there is very little discomfort. I am so glad I went to Dr. Hertz for this procedure! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ORAL SURGEON!! I got 2 wisdom teeth removed last week and I can honestly say i never felt more comfortable at any medical office in my life. The amount of care the staff & Surgeon showed me was unbelievable. I walked in with a referral from my dentist and i was in so much pain but Dr Hertz took care of me in no time regardless of all the issues my insurance was trying to give.. glad to say Im in no more pain and it hasn't even been a week.. best Doctor out there!! read more

Love this place, had a killer toothache and desperately needed to have it extracted, I found this place through my insurance provider and even though they were double booked they made room for me. the staff are some of the nicest I've ever met in all my medical experiences and the Doctor made me feel so comfortable and at ease during the procedure, even letting me play my own music. he explained everything and did everything with minimal pain and discomfort read more

After visiting about 12 different dental facilities in the past few years, and paying a high price for some, I was overjoyed to find to discover an Oral Surgeon, Dr Hertz on Ocean Avenue-A pot of gold at the end of the Rainbow. His empathy, humor and professionalism left me with a marvelous feeling of satisfaction and gratitude. (And yes! He accepts insurance!!!) He sees kids as well Also does beautiful dental implants! Gratefully, Henny Hanuna read more

i had an impacted wisdom tooth extracted today. he was great. i was in and out of there within a half hour. had no pain at all. actually probably saved me from a very bad experience considering i had a very bad infection 2 weeks ago and he wouldnt do it until it was cleared up ,where as another dentist was ready to do it and charge me $700. he was very honest, professional,and calming. his assistants were great too! read more
