The office has friendly staff and a pleasant front desk. I really appreciated the thorough and efficient service we have received both times. This office respects your time and won't hold you hostage waiting in the waiting room. My only complaint is having to wait months to be seen. It's somewhat of an ordeal with consultation (that takes weeks to schedule) - then the insurance red tape-then trying to get an appointment especially when you are in the midst of excruciating pain. Excellent post op instructions. Thank you Dr L for taking care of my husband. They try their best- there are too many people needing services and not enough resources here.

I if could give no stars I would. I have one wisdom tooth and it was not hurting me. I was not in a…read morerush for an appointment because there was no pain, but I made an appointment and March was their earliest slot. A couple of weeks later the wisdom tooth fractured, but still no pain. A few weeks after that, pain started that was quit severe and my right Jaw looked like I was storing nuts for the winter. I call OMS and I state that this is an emergency and I need an emergency appointment. The receptionist told me about my March appointment. When I said emergency, she should have got off her behind and check with one of the surgeons to see if they could fit me in, she did not. She kept on telling me I had an appointment in March. After that encounter I was in pain and very angry. The next day my sister took me to the ER and they managed to get me an emergency appointment for a St. Luke's dentist on chew street. The doctor looked in my mouth and said I don't do extractions. My question, why did they send me there if this dentist did not do the service I needed? However, this doctor gave me a new referral with STAT for the urgency and a list of all the oral surgeon in the Valley. Instead of leaving this dentist office I started calling and found a dentist that had an emergency slot for the next day. This doctor stated that this WAS an EMERGENCY and asked if I wanted to remove the tooth that day. Long story short, this dentist removed that fracture wisdom tooth and drained any infection he saw. I was giving post op instructions, but the next morning I looked I still looked like a chipmunk and the pain had me rocking and crying. My sister took me back to the hospital in Allentown (St Luke's). I was told that I needed to be transferred to the Bethlehem location. I waited in the ER over night and at least they gave me pain medication. The next morning the ER doctor told me he was getting transport arranged and I was going to be admitted directly from the ER to the Bethlehem OR. Once I got to Bethlehem I was taken directly to the Operating room. Even though the tooth was gone there was a raging infection that had been brewing for some time. This surgery seems to go well, but I was still taking pain medication, and could not open my mouth wide enough to eat. I went home the next day and I was happy to sleep in my own bed. I went out to make sure I had things I needed before the snow coming the next morning. On the way home I got a call from St. Luke's Allentown informing me to go to the Bethlehem hospital because one of the blood cultures came back positive. I was admitted and have been fighting the infection with IV antibiotics since, long story short I had Septis. As I write this I am propped up and still in the hospital.The surgeon put in two drains; one inside my mouth and a drain on the outside of my face and gave no instruction on How they are to be close, especially the drain inserted by my jaw line. This surgeon only concern was about how everything looked better and telling me that I did not have pain when I felt horrible pain; did I mentioned this was a ST. Luke's OMS surgeon! I wonder if I punched him in the groin, could I tell him what pain he was is feeling. That goes to show you that the "color of care" and racial health care disparities are alive and well. My main concern is the sepsis in my blood could have a major issue with my heart, Pacemaker, and other vital organs. With all of what I said, this could have been avoided if the OMS gatekeeper could fit me in when I originally called. If my surgery was done at a reasonable time and date, the infection would not have grown because it was first time that tooth socket would be open due the extraction and, most likely I would not had to drain, instead of days later allowed the infection to grow. I will never get the time returning to ER, hospital stay, and slow recovery at back. I am really disgusted with St. Luke's OMS and would never go to them for anything ever. (Updated 3/15/2024) With all the IV antibiotics, two weeks later I developed Clostridioides Difficile and a horrible UTI. C-Diff is highly contagious and the symptoms are diarrhea, fever, nausea, vomiting, headaches, dizziness, and basically feeling like you want to die. Once again all this could have been avoided. I am still recovering from this horrible infection. You can read about this https://www.cdc.gov/cdiff/what-is.html.n If you read what the CDC has to say about C. Diff; this infection could have killed me. Shame on you St Luke's OMS. The first part of this review was written at the end of January while I was still in the hospital, but was not posted.

*Be warned this is going to be long but I am disappointment and want to share my story. If you want…read moreto be totally prepared for what you may be getting yourself into by going through this office for dental work, please read on* I was referred to this office by my dentist, who wanted me seen for wisdom teeth removal & extracting a broken tooth. It took me almost three months to even schedule a consult, I called multiple times and nobody answered, I left multiple voicemails and nobody called me back. Once I was lucky enough to have someone answer me, the appointment they offered was in September, I talked to them in MAY. Fast forward to the end of June & I begin having serious problems with my broken tooth. The nerve was exposed so every time I tried to eat/drink/swallow I had extreme pain shooting up my face. I called and of course nobody answered, I left a message about seeing if I could get in sooner and nobody called me back. After 2 weeks of pain and almost no eating, I finally had enough and called my dentist to try and contact them for me. They told me they'd call them to get me in for an *emergency appointment* (that part is important). Well of course they didn't answer my dentist's office and a message was left. They call me the next morning saying I was on a "cancellation list" (which was a lie) and I could be seen that day at 11:45. Great! I took the day off work for this thinking something would be done since I was told *emergency appointment*. I go in to the office, they only saw me for a consultation. I tell them my dentist's office told me Id be coming for an emergency appointment for my painful broken tooth that's hindering basic necessary things for living, I get told "they gave you misinformation and that's not right". They tell me I can schedule my surgery and offered me, again, SEPTEMBER. I was in tears and begging the girl at the window to schedule to please get me in sooner because I just could not deal with the pain any longer. Thankfully, they had an extra surgeon coming in from the hospital doing surgeries and I got a spot the next week. Awesome, all is done I get my surgery and can finally recover from 3-4 weeks of pure hell. Now since the day of my consultation my job put me on a medical leave because I am a nurse and how can you possibly do that job in such extreme pain you can't think straight. I explained this to them at the office and asked the doctor if he'd do my medical leave papers, which he said yes he had no problem with doing. He messed up my paperwork and didn't listen to a single thing I said and only did the forms for 2 shifts after surgery. I was out for 6 shifts. Thankfully my manager knew what was going on & suggested the leave or I could've gotten disciplinary action against me and compromised my position because of this. You also cannot call the office directly even after you are a patient there, all my paperwork has the same all locations number that nobody ever answers or returns your call from messages left. What if I had a serious problem after surgery? You can't get ahold of anybody. That is DANGEROUS! On a positive note, thankfully I seem to be healing well. I am 3 weeks out from my surgery, feel fantastic, and am back to my normal routine. I had minimal issues after surgery which I am also very thankful for. I wanted to wait until I was "out of the woods" to write a review because I feared retaliation or mistreatment if I did need help. The only reasons they even get 2 stars: I saw Dr. Isaac for my consultation and she was nothing but absolutely amazing. Very calming and reassuring, and put together a surgical plan that would be the most comfortable for me including taking into consideration my anxiety diagnosis and phobia of the dental work. Dr. Sharma did my surgery, besides messing up my paperwork he was excellent for the procedure and had a positive demeanor in the room beforehand, making jokes and trying to ease my nerves. Serena was who helped me during the scheduling process, she went out of her way to get me the appointment I got when she very well could've just told me too bad I had to wait. Honestly the most helpful person from this entire ordeal. It's sad this is so poorly run because the actual staff there are fantastic, but for a patient to even get seen there it's a very off putting experience. Overall, good staff doesn't negate what I went through during this whole thing. Majorly disappointing.

I am new to the area & have never seen a dentist regularly throughout my life. I've always been…read morevery anxious about the dentist and I have put off dental care for MANY years - and I've never had dental insurance. Inevitably, during the COVID, my wisdom tooth cracked back in May and I was giving me a LOT of pain. I did a google search for surgeons in my area & made an appointment for July 30th. Understandably, every medical office is backed up due to COVID. I was anxious for 2 months awaiting my appointment, but I was in pain so it was not an option to continue postponing the inevitable. The process up until that day went smoothly - back & forth emails to get all my paperwork in prior to my appointment was very helpful. When I arrived for my appointment, I was very anxious. The woman who checked me in was very calming and helpful. The woman who took my x-rays was gentle and kind. They took me right back to the examination room and the woman who did my intake was awesome - again very calming and made me feel at ease. Meeting Dr. Chaudhry was another great experience. He was honest and told me that sedation was recommended for my procedure - especially knowing how anxious I was. Considering I was not prepared with a ride home, they waited patiently while I made arrangements to have my fiance pick me up. Also considering I do not have dental insurance & was not prepared for the additional sedation cost, Dr. Chaudhry worked with me and he was more than generous in his quote. I am so very thankful for that. The procedure was a dream - everyone was gentle, calming, & kind. I remember & felt NOTHING after the IV went into my arm. After the Novocaine wore off that evening I was sore, but in no pain whatsoever - which was surprising to me. I can not tell you how much this experience may very well have "cured" by fear of dentists. Every single person there made me feel welcome and calm. I have a LOT of dental work ahead of me and I simply can not go anywhere else. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
