My experience at Lehigh oral and maxillofacial surgery for my son’s wisdom teeth extraction was excellent. The staff was kind and professional. Dr Kakar is awesome. He explained every step of the process in detail and was very caring, even called to check on my son the evening of his surgery. This personal touch meant a lot. The post-op care instructions were clear, and he’s healing well. Recovery nurse Carmen was extremely caring and nice and gave us clear instructions on his aftercare. If you're looking for an oral surgeon who truly cares about patient comfort, this is the place to go.

Dr.Bender and his staff were wonderful. Very helpful in explaining the procedure to my teenager for her wisdom teeth removal. Her procedure went well with a great plan for post op. Gave great follow up care & called to check in on her afterward. The nurses and staff we also so kind to me and her brother as well.

Dr. Wolf & his team were wonderful during my son’s wisdom teeth removal surgery. Everything was clearly explained and the surgery was done efficiently. Scheduling was simple and communication throughout the process was extremely helpful. Carmen was very knowledgeable in recovery and she took all the time we needed to answer questions and go over post-op care instructions. Several hours after returning home, Dr. Wolf called to check in how my son was doing, and answer any additional questions we had - which I appreciated very much. I highly recommend Dr. Wolf and the entire team at Lehigh Oral Surgery. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

It’s very frightening to lose a front tooth. Dr. Bender and his team were very gentle, thorough and professional. I was very afraid of having to wait for the post to heal and how it would look with a tooth missing. They worked hard to come up with a solution that was quite creative. The surgery was quick, completely painless, and I came out of the anesthesia with no issues at all. Thank you so much, Dr. Bender, Vicki, Natosha, Diana and Carmen. What a team!!!

My daughter, 8 years old, had oral surgery this morning led by Dr. Bender and his amazing team. It was excellent. The doctor, anesthesiologist, and nurses were beyond gentle and treated my daughter as if she was a part of their family. They were so kind and attentive. They ensured my daughter felt comfortable prior to the anesthesia and explained exactly what would be happening. They created a game with her so she felt comfortable as the mask went on prior to intravenous anesthesia. They gave thorough instructions both pre and post op and made themselves available to answer follow up questions even after we left the office. Dr. Brendan called to check in this evening as well. I cannot say enough about their service and care even for pediatric surgery. Thank you again!
