My crown removal by Dr. Jaime Cernansky, went so well. I had no pain at all as he had promised. I have a needle phobia but Dr. Cernansky had such a gentle touch and he explained everything he did step by step. The Dr. And his staff were excellent thats why I gave a 5 star review. Would i go back for any future dental, yes I would.
I highly recommend Valley Oral surgery. My child had to have her oral procedure done in November at the hospital due to health issues. Special thanks to Paula G who worked with our insurance and the hospital to make it easy for us. I really appreciate her keeping in touch with us and checking on us every week during that time. And thanks to Dr Parikh for doing a great job with the surgery. His friendly attitude eased our concerns. And my child recovered well and fast. Valley has a good team!
I had my wisdom teeth out under iv sedation 2 days ago. The only issue I had was they told us 10:45 am at the consultation appointment but they put 10:00 am in their system.
We needed an appointment ASAP, after calling so many other offices in the area I was in contact with the office manager. My soon to be husband was seen within 3 hours of our conversation! Definitely a plus that she went above and beyond to help us. Highly recommend this practice. The doctor made him feel 100 times better in minutes! Definitely a practice we will return to.
No Mask for me. So I received a call from Trooper ___. I have a Pending Criminal Arrest Harassment charge from trooper ____, He gave me the warning on Thursday July 8th. Here's the truth.. On June 10, my husband went to have implant surgery. After the pain killer wore off. He was in pain. It went on a few weeks. We were told it's normal. On July 2, the implant fell out. We tried to leave a message on the vm. The Lehighton office machine wasn't working properly. I was able to leave a message on the Allentown and Bethlehem office. It was a holiday weekend. I tried to call the Lehighton office on Monday July 5th. It was the Monday holiday. I called on Tuesday July 6th. I wasn't able to get through to Lehighton office. I drove there. I was told the office manager would handle the appointment. I went home and I waited until 430pm. Then called the office. They were working on an appointment. I was put on hold. Finally he was going to be seen on July 8th. July 8th, off to the office. My husband wasn't comfortable going to the office alone. I'm so over the politics(Biden/Trump)politics. A few times in the office, I was told to put on a mask. 2 women in the office made a few statements to me. I responded, they should feel comfortable wearing a mask. I nicely told the office ,"No thank you." The office called the State Troopers. Throoper___ called me, said I was reported for violence and harassment . 🤔 The statement of valley oral surgery.... So "No thank you" is harassment and violence. Not sure if my husband's implant will ever be fixed properly. He goes back in October.
I would recommend Lehigh Valley Oral Surgery to anyone. Dr. Cernansky was an amazing surgeon, and the staff so kind and helpful.
Dr Robert Laski and his clinical team literally “walk on water” I had a molar extraction with an implant, which lasted no more than 35 minutes. The anesthesia I chose was local numbing with novocaine. The injection procedure, as well as the extraction was painless! Dr Laski and his team communicated with me throughout the procedure every step of the way and I remained at ease all the time because of their support. I want to emphasize that given my background I very rarely misjudge healthcare professionals, so I can recommend this oral surgeon without any hesitation! Dr Laski and his surgical assistants are truly “the dream team” when it comes to excellence in dental surgery. What wonderful caring and competent professionals. Thank you!
I have used the services of Valley Oral Surgery over the last several years, and I have only praise for Dr. Popvich and Dr. Laski and their staff. Everyone I have encountered at this practice is professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, and courteous. While having oral surgery and restoration can't really be called a pleasure, the folks at VOS have certainly made the experience a lot easier to get through. Thank you to all!!
Would give 10 stars if I could. I had to have 3 teeth extracted while being put under. I have an extreme phobia of needles. Worse then most cases. My dr did EVERYTHING in his power to help me through what I thought was going to be the most traumatic experience. It was a breeze because of him. Not only did he make me so comfortable that I had ZERO pain or even anxiety during the whole experience but I also healed very quickly without needing any pain medication. A year later my husband needed an emergency tooth extraction and they took care of him within a few days. 1 day to xray, a few for antibiotics to help, then extracted. My husband also had zero complaints. Only place we will go to for oral surgery. Period!
Once again I am very happy with choosing Dr Elstein for doing the extraction of my daughters wisdom teeth (this is my 3rd child). My daughter needed some additional time coming out of the anesthesia and that was given. We did not feel rushed at all. I would definitely recommend him to others.
I had a tooth extracted today. I was extremely nervous. Dr. Laski explained exactly what will be happening. As he was doing the procedure he explained each thing being done. His assistant and staff were extremely nice and helpful. I would highly recommend them.
What a fantastic oral surgeon Dr. Elstein is!! I took my son there to have all 4 wisdom teeth removed in one appointment. My son had minimum bleeding after the surgery, we only had to replace the gauze once the day of the surgery, and if we needed anything we knew what to do or who to contact. I used the Quakertown office and the staff was extremely kind, helpful and friendly. Great team and a wonderful surgeon!! Thank you all!!
The staff and Doctors are amazing.. They are very kind and caring...kudos to the receptionist wanda front desk she was awesome... Also the doctors are the nicest I have ever met...every single staff member was great...
Excellent in every way. Their staff and physicians were wonderful!
visited today for the first time. Everyone I met was very pleasant and made my visit enjoyable! Yes, enjoyable. therefore stress free! Thank you to all involved with my visit today!
Just want to thank the wonderful people at the Lehighton location for making my wisdom teeth removal surgery feel like a breeze this morning! Their positive, friendly, and attentive demeanor made this process much more comfortable for me. I had pretty heavy anxiety going in to the point of lightheadedness and tears, but they were all very kind and offered plenty of reassurance, which helped ease my mind tremendously. Even as I’m going into the recovery process now, I have been thinking about this positive experience since I left the office this morning and just wanted to express my gratitude. I very highly recommend Valley Oral Surgery of Lehighton, and I’m sure the staff at their other practice locations are just as wonderful.
I went here to get my wisdom teeth out and the experience was better than I thought it would be! The staff was incredibly friendly and I didn’t feel a thing other than a small pinch when they put the IV in. Highly recommend going here!
Got me in within 24hrs. Did the consult, followed with procedure, at the time of first visit. Everyone was so very kind, helpful ,up beat, and professional. I will HIGHLY recommend, and return for any future issues. Absolutely,.. Nothing but good things to say. To the Drs. and staff.. I thank you..
the staff is so very caring and they made feel calm even though I had to have 6 teeth extracted. I would not go to any other oral surgeons. thank you everyone.
Where to begin, from my scheduling appointment to my walk out the door after my extraction, the entire experience was as amazing as a dental visit can be! Dr. Tanabe and his team made me feel comfortable and well cared for. Thank you so much! I will be back! Well hopefully not soon, but when I need you, believe me I will not hesitate!
The best oral/dental experience I have ever had. Hi surgery my doctor called me hours later to check to see if I was OK honestly I couldn’t believe that someone called me just to check up on me. I would recommend this place to anyone that would be in need of a good oral surgeon experience. Can not express my gratitude for the hospitality that I was given.
As always, everyone in the office was very professional and patient. The x-ray technician was especially attentive to my needs. Thank you all.
They are the best at what they do in the entire valley, very professional with outstanding service and follow up. Very satisfied .
Everyone was warm and accommodating. Got my wisdom teeth out in no time and they even sent me home with an ice pack. Thank you!
Excellent Dr. Niral Parikh and his staff !! I was suffering with my wisdom toothache. I visited him and he explained diagnosis, treatment and preventative care everything about extract wisdom tooth.I was terribly afraid and extremely nervous about my procedure and he's very sensitive to that and goes the extra mile to make you feel comfortable. Surgery was quick done and my 3 wisdom teeth were taken out with no complications. Good recovery afterwards and detailed instructions helped.Excellent experience from start to finish. Highly recommended!!
This establishment was wonderful. The nurses and the girls there were so nice and comforting. Front desk got me in for an Emergency appointment in a half hour. I am so grateful. And the Dr. had the best bedside manner and compassionate, kind, caring. He had the most soothing Dr. voice. They were all exceptionally amazing! If I could give more stars I would. Thank you!
Super friendly and professional. They've gotten me out of 10/10 pain before. Same experience at both locations. Highly recommended.
Orderly and efficient. Dr. Laski did a great painless job with my tooth extraction. Although I could not get into their nearest office in Allentown, I was grateful to be able to get into the Bethlehem office in 2 days, with my bad dental issue.
Excellent. This was such a positive experience for a painful problem. I appreciate how they got me in so quickly for my consult and extraction. They made me feel very safe and well informed.
Very professional, courteous and extremely efficient. Follow up instructions clear and straightforward. No problems. Friendly too.
The staff was very friendly, thorough in explaining what was wrong and what was going to happen. The dental assistant explained step by step what was happening. This office was very sanitary and safety was a concern of theirs. This office was prompt in seeing me so the wait was not very long. Very professional. I would highly recommend this office to anyone whom was looking for the best experience in dental procedures.
Had an unfortunate experience with a root canal tooth that fractured. Despite already having the root canal done, the tooth cracked and needed to be extracted. Uncomfortable pain made it more urgent to get it done. Valley Oral did very thorough and fast exam, and within two days extracted tooth. Basically little uncomfortable pain afterwards, no swelling, no bruising - great service, concerned staff, great results.
Both my daughter and I have been patients of Dr. Laski. Cannot say enough wonderful things about this group. From the friendly front end staff to the great assistants, I would highly recommend this group. Dr. Laski did a great job and was super nice and professional.
Office staff is great, above and beyond in assistance and kindness. My molar was causing me great pain and it was extracted without any pain. I highly recommend them.
I was here for all four wisdom teeth. Everyone in here is Amazing & the procedure was fast and painless !!
I’ve always had a fear of dental procedures however my visit with Dr. Laski was beyond all expectations. I visited on a Friday afternoon for an extraction consultation and it was was the most easy and well informed visit I have ever experienced. Dr. Laski was very informative of what my procedure was going to entail. He discussed options with me and let me control how the visit was going to go. He explained the procedure step by step all the while checking in to make sure I was ok and comfortable during the surgery. I had no swelling and only experienced discomfort for about 48hours and by Monday when I received my follow up phone call I was back to myself. I would certainly recommend Valley Oral Surgery.
Had a crown/ tooth extracted by Dr. Hill. I've had alot of dental work done over the years and this was the best experience I've had. I had very little pain from the shots. Dr. Hill explained what he was doing as he did it. Staff is extremely pleasant as well. I highly recommend this practice and especially Dr. Hill.
This place is AMAZING!! I was having severe tooth pain and they got me in right away to have 2 teeth removed.. the procedure went very smoothly! I was talked through everything they were doing and the entire staff is so friendly! Definitely recommend
Dr. Hill was very pleasant and detailed with his explanation of my treatment plan and follow up care. Would highly recommend for any oral surgery care.
Very friendly, thorough and informative for both me and my child (the patient).
Nothing but professional people, help me with my dental problem
We were extremely pleased with the care our teenage daughter received from Dr. Hill over a 2 month period following a serious ski accident. Our daughter fractured her jaw in multiple places and lost/damaged several teeth. She was hospitalized for five days and required weekly follow-ups for 8 weeks. Dr. Hill successfully performed a complicated surgery (requiring several plattes/screws) to reconstruct the jaw and lay the foundation for the couple years of dental/ortho work to come. Dr. Hill was realistic about the complexity of the injury but instilled confidence in his ability to resolve the situation and provide our daughter full recovery. He did a fantastic job of setting expectations and communicating throughout the entire process; details were explained in language that was easy to understand. He proactively called me to check in multiple times and I always felt he was available when I needed a question answered. We never had to wait for any of our office visits and we never felt rushed during our weekly follow-up appointments. Dr. Hill was very patient with all our questions, and he has wonderful bedside manner!
AWESOME PLACE. HIGHLY RECCOMEND. THEY DO IT ALL. IMPLANTS ROOT CANALS ETC.
This is my 3rd time around with Valley Oral....with all three procedures being a bit involved and with the end results of all three being IMPLANTS. This is not a surgery to be taken lightly as a lot can go wrong if not done right. This care group is a step above from the receptionists, to billing, to the surgical team, and finally to the surgeon himself, we are talking about, in my opinion, a beautifully organized care group. After 40 years in the medical field I know what is what, and who, is who, and if you want the best for yourself, as we all do this is where you go for your oral surgery needs. PERIOD!!
Dr. Cernansky was great! My daughter was very nervous about getting her procedure done and having novacaine for the first time. He talked her through it all and made her feel very comfortable. I would deff recommend him.
If I could give more than five stars I would. From the consultation in Bethlehem the staff there was incredible. To having the surgery in lehighton the women in the office where awesome the CT scan lady was great the x-ray technician was polite and most of all Dr. Hill did an awesome job made me feel more comfortable than I've ever felt in a situation like that. 👍👍👍
Truly the best ..no words could sum it up.. People who care .
Very professional and caring. Had all four wisdom teeth removed. Very good experience.
Dr. Hill was great! and professional, I had one extraction and it was painless. I would recommend Valley Oral Surgery.
The surgeon and suporting staff were very friendly and professional.
I was so nervous sitting in the chair.my blood pressure was elevated. The staff there really make you feel so comfortable and kept reassuring me that everything was going to be fine. Dr.Kingston is amazing. So caring and compassionate as well as his staff Thank you so much I am pain free.😁
Had my wisdom teeth removed yesterday and I am by far happy with all the nurses and the doctors at the lehighton location!They called today to check on me which was very unexpected but greatly appreciated. thank you for the best bedside manner
I cannot begin to express how pleased and happy I am with my experience with Valley Oral Surgery and especially with Dr. Hill. The staff are all friendly and kind making me feel at ease right away. Dr. Hill was amazing, patiently explaining my situation and the possible solutions. He made me feel comfortable during the surgery, (even playing my choice of music!), and he talked with me and informed me of the situation every step of the way. I couldn't have had a better experience! - Kathy
Staff was pleasant and helpful, they got down to the "root" of my problem. Discussed treatment in detail. Dr. Hill was amazing, making sure I was comfortable and walked me through the procedure. I would recommend anyone in need of an oral surgeon to contact them.
The professionalism of this office is what every medical office should strive to be. The staff and doctors are so polite and caring. They truly care about their patients, which is so hard to find. I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed and Dr. Parikh personally called to check on me later that day to make sure I was feeling okay. They made sure to explain everything thoroughly. My best experience at any doctor. They are the best!
All three of my girls had their wisdom teeth removed and no problems. Easy recovery. No narcotic pain meds needed. Controlled with the icing as recommended and combination of Advil/Tylenol. All teeth were impacted. Have had many other family members receive treatment as well with fast access to appointments and same day treatment if warranted.
Dr. Cernansky is great! The employees were also very friendly and helpful. I was given the insurance copayment prior to my appointment which was scheduled very shortly after my initial visit! Great experience! I would recommend this office to others and I am a dental hygienist, so you can trust my opinion!
The office is very clean , I had a Mucocele removed from lower lip and being a middle age male I faint when having to give blood so I mentioned this to Dr.Cernansky and staff . Dr.Cernansky took appropriate measures and made me very comfortable before performing the procedure and made sure I was doing just fine during the surgery ..Great Experience ..
Experienced an acute dental emergency. I was taken with in an hour of calling and had an extremely painful molar extracted. Thank you to Dr. Laski and his very thorough and caring staff. To have the mind set that no one should be in pain and to take action to give relief has earned my loyalty. Officially my Oral Surgery Group. 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I just left there from having a tooth pulled and I am the biggest ninny when it comes to going to the dentist Dr. Elstein and his staff were wonderful to me! And i didn't feel a thing!! Thank you so much !!!
Excellent care and very professional. The whole staff and Dr. Parikh truly care for their patients. Thank you!

Dr. Laski and staff… thank you very much for your kindness and generosity.
Pat
I have thought of many words to express my gratitude to you, but none were adequate to tell you how I appreciate how well you and your staff cared for me during the surgeries and visits. So, thank you. You’ve made my life so much better!

You have brought happiness back to my son’s life!

Dylan
Fantastic oral surgeons. Dr. Jaime Cernansky is super friendly and excellent at what he does. Ask for him when you schedule an appointment!

I had what I thought was a crown and a root canal start to give me pain. I pushed it off too long thinking it was the gums, then I went to my dentist. She took one look and said it was a rotten tooth, the nerve was exposed and it had to come out. I couldn’t seem to get an emergency appointment, then my dentist hooked me up with Valley Oral Surgery. They got me in that day, I had a referral, and was hoping I could have gotten it out that day… I would have even helped do it! I had Dr. Niral Parikh. He explained to me that I needed to be put asleep because there was not much left of that tooth, the roots would most likely break and need to be drilled, and my blood pressure was already high. I think he saw the horror in my eyes about making it through another night. He assured me he’d give it a big shot of Novocain, and give me some pain meds to get me through the night and get me in there first thing in the morning. I really appreciate the compassion he showed me. They fit me in and removed the tooth with no hitches whatsoever. In fact, it’s now 8:15 p.m., they pulled it at 7:45 this morning, and I haven’t needed any pain medication, not even the Motrin. I hope I don’t need to have any more work done, but I probably will and definitely will be requesting him to do it. Best thing is my 11-year-old even noticed I wasn’t crabby!

A little over a year ago, I began the process of having all of my natural teeth removed and replaced with dental implants to support both permanent and snap-in appliances to restore my smile and bite. Dr. Robert Laski and his team at Lehigh Valley Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery did a wonderful job during all aspects of my treatment plan, and pain-free at that.
During my first visit, I went under general anesthesia to have my teeth removed, and several implants installed during the same procedure. The healing and recovery process was nearly pain-free (just a little discomfort while the swelling went down in a few days time). Initially, I had intended to use a snap-in lower appliance, and a standard upper denture, but after a few months, I realized that I wanted something a little bit ‘upgraded’. So, choosing to extend my treatment and healing plan, I went back in February 2015 and had additional implants added on the lower jaw, and 4 new ones added in the upper jaw so I could get a permanent lower appliance (non-removable), and a snap-in upper appliance (so as not to have to deal with denture cream or slippage).
During EVERY visit with Dr. Laski, he took great care to explain what was happening, and what to expect at every phase. Given that I tend to ask a ‘million’ questions, Dr. Laski ALWAYS made time for me to ask and have answered any question I had! (No rush job!).
In closing, if you or a loved one are in need of any surgical dental work, I STRONGLY recommend using the services of Dr. Laski and his team. They’re the best in the business (as far as I’m concerned!)

The new office in Lehighton is wonderful and greatly needed in Carbon County. I called for an appointment for my consult for a wisdom tooth removal and was able to get in that day. I was able to get an appointment for the wisdom tooth removal within a week of the consult. The office staff are very nice and I didn’t wait long at all to be seen upon my arrival. Dr. Cernansky performed my surgery and is one of the kindest doctors I have had. He took time to answer any questions and explained everything in detail. Great job!
Elsie
Dr. Parikh and the staff in the Bethlehem location are amazing. They were attentive to the needs of my son and were able to take care of us quickly and correct the problem. It was my son’s first tooth extraction and it went so well. Extremely happy.
