Sheepshead Bay Oral Surgery

Honestly i was prepated for the worst, ALL the staff is very friendly. Wait time is ok, about 30 minutes. Very professioal place, will recommend.

Long waiting time. Russian ladies do not care about line. Rude and unprofessional. Russian patients act like they are millionaires. Gross.

I am writing this just based on the management of front office, we had an appointment at 1pm waited for an hour and asked the receptionist how long is going to take, she said she doesn’t know and I asked can I at least know how many patients ahead of me. She said she doesn’t know and will get back with me when she know. This is unprofessional and I will not referral anyone to this place. what is the point of making having an appointment? I’m still waiting, let’s see how long is gonna take …

I just think this dentist simply doesn’t care enough about his patients to review their chart before coming into see them. She give me a wrong medicine after I took penciling. I had very bad allergy was horrible it’s all her fault she didn’t even look at my chart to see what I am allergic for.
Also when I call to office they give very little discussion time about how to move forward with my condition, which is outright rude.
I am defiantly not coming back and I don’t recommend to take medicine from her prescription especially if you have any kinda allergy.

The five star review is for Dr. Dmitriy Tokar DDS only. This place has exceptional oral surgeons, however the stuff at the front desk are rather rude. I came here to remove an excess of gum area on the top of my wisdom tooth, I also had a referral for this place. I was in the waiting area for 2 ½ hours, there were many people in the waiting area, and some of the people had to stay standing up as there wasn’t enough chairs in the room.
Dr. Tokar listen to my concerns and recommended the best treatment, he also showed me few educational videos about the extraction procedure. Unlike the other oral surgeon from the other clinic, he offered me several options on the treatment of my tooth. Under local anesthesia he completed the procedure 10 minutes. He was also very helpful in the billing process for the insurance company, as the preferred procedure was not the usual extraction. Later on same day around 9 PM in the evening Dr. Tokar gave me a follow up phone call, he went over post treatments and what should be expected in the next few days. I would recommend this doctor for any oral surgeries as he’s very professional and experienced, and really does care about the well-​being of his patients teeth. Prepare to wait from 2 to 3 hours if you go there, even if you have an appointment.

I usually don’t judge based on reviews but I’m convinced now that this office and their staff don’t care about patients care except for making money off of you. They lack communication skills, don’t follow up with patients concerns or insurance matters which is their billers responsibility. Not only you wait long time but then you have to deal with front desk inability to speak English or even comprehend what you are talking about. There are other offices near by who take pride in their work and have common sense with quality of knowledge and patience, and equipped with much more up to date tools to do more then extractions
Do not waste or consider your time or energy.

My husband had an appointment for a wisdom tooth extraction with sedation (confirmed with insurance that this was covered in advance per the receptionist’s request when I called to book the appointment). We arrived to a full waiting room and waited 90 minutes for his turn. 20 minutes later he came out with only a numb face. Dr. said sedation needed approval with insurance and that could take 3 weeks. What?! If u knew you had to get approval why was this not done by the office when appointment was originally booked 2 weeks ago? Or at least call insurance company now to get confirmation? Needless to say, we are going somewhere else for the actual extraction. As well, patients kept filing in and had nowhere to sit. It was standing room only. I overheard one woman say she was there for 2 hrs already. I wouldn’t even give this place 1 star.

Came in for a consultation, ended up getting all 4 wisdom teeth pulled in one sitting. It took about 5 – 7 min, and I was out the door with 2 prescriptions (antibiotics to heal, and ibuprofen for pain). They did not tell me what I had to do when I came home and treated it like a regular dental visit and not a serious surgery. I had to google if I should apply heat/​cold and what I should do to reduce swelling.
To sum up, procedure was quick and painless, almost no pain afterwards, only drank 1 ibuprofen. Cheeks swelled for a week, (probably because I wasn’t notified of what to apply to my face to lower the swelling) but everything healed nicely.
Ask all your questions before because they did not inform me of anything!

After reading now all the reviews if my brother was lucky enough to get the dr’s listed maybe this would be a positive review. I will be brutally honest. My brother went just yesterday 5÷18÷14 for 2 extractions. Kayvan Fathimani DDS saw my disabled brother. I cannot and will not say he is a Dr. He was the rudest, nasty ass attitude of a so called professional! Says so condescending to my brother «Well, what brings you here»? rather than introducing himself, he comes across awkward & unprofessional. Already turned off for no intro’s as a true dr, does. He questioned everything I asked with remarks like «Do you have documentation on that» back and forth banter with this jerk! Maybe that is why he is there on Sundays and I missed the good dr’s listed below. RUN, don’t walk when you see this idiot. They put my brother in a room after the extractions because he was bleeding, well duh 2 teeth were removed. After waiting so long for this jerk dr to come in for the heads up, we left!!! My brother is fine and healing. Be careful who u let check you out. The receptionist was lovely & professional to all. Just stay clear of this prick I wrote about. No bedside manner, just an attitude that the world needs to see. I didn’t appreciate him talking down to me, grilling me with these questions & repetitive answer he gave do you have documentation for that? JERK!!!

I went in for a tooth extraction two weeks ago. Dr. Glied pulled the tooth with a minimum of difficulty, but it was immediately afterward that the problems started. He didn’t stitch up the socket, and he didn’t prescribe antibiotics. I now have an infection that my dentist is treating with the antibiotics that should have been prescribed in the first place. Never again, folks.

My son is 18 years old and had a broken jaw; Dr. Dmitiy Tokar conducted 3 hours operation on the same day and stayed until 11 PM.
Dr. Tokar knew how painful the operation so he called my son several times to follow up with the operation, my son felt much better after each call.
The place is busy and the wait is little long, but it worth waiting.
Really I am very happy with their service and the way how Dr. Tokar had acted very professionally. Thank you,

Dr Glied did a phenomenal job on my wisdom teeth extraction today. I have absolutely no swelling and feel a lot better than I expected to. He even called me this evening to follow-​up and see how I’m feeling. Most doctors are too busy as soon as they’re done draining your insurance. I’m highly impressed!

Horrible staff! Do not inform their patients that patients need to pay everything up front before leaving the office.
My friend’s grandma came here for a dental work. Her insurance only paid $ 150ish of the $ 1,000 medical bill. The staff failed to tell her before she got her dental work done that she needed to pay the remaining bill. Sadly, they thought she was going to run away. So, they imprisoned her and would not let her go to the bank to withdraw money! If you don’t trust a patient to pay afterward, then notify them up front before the procedure is done.
Beware of this place! Make sure you ask them how much you have to pay out of pocket. You don’t want to be sent to a dental prison!

5 STAR SURGEON…3 stars in general.
Dr Glied is the best oral surgeon in South brooklyn. he extracted a tooth for me last month with EASE. He just did a major oral surgery procedure on me that is NOt for the lfaint of heart. and I had little bleeding.
HOWEVER — -WAIT time 3 hours though. Staff manager at front desk ., i said GOOD MORNING –no response. Did not look at me.. i asked for specific appointment so I do not have to sit 2 plus hours nothing she can do… Great surgeon, ethical and honest and CAPABLE .I TRUST him. that is important. And I have had many oral surgeons. Money, Influence, or yelling will NOT get you seen sooner or quicker… first come… first WAIT.
UPDATE: DR GLIED no longer works there. He works in the Bronx now. They have two new surgeons I have not used so cant comment on them. They seem to have tried to make thew wait a bit less… but no matter. you will be waiting. Still better than the worse «Gelfman and Birnbaum» House of horrors.

Dr. Glied is good (he extracted my wisdom teeth with minimal pain and swelling) but dealing with his staff is frustrating. The ladies at the reception desk are so unorganized. They’re rude to each other and to patients. It also seems like they lack communication with the doctors. I just left the office without getting my xray, which I spoke about with the doctor over the phone 2 days ago and I called the office a little over an hour ago to confirm that it would be ok to stop by today.
The doctor wasn’t in the office, which he told me 2 days ago that he wouldn’t be, and the staff had no knowledge regarding what kind of xray I needed to get done. I’m not at all a confrontational person and am very polite and professional but they made me feel like I was causing a scene. Then they tried to appease me with some random xrays which I reused because I’d rather not have that extra radiation.
If you have plenty of time to sit around and wait, because wait you will even if you have an appointment or scheduled surgery, then this office is ok. I have an appointment in Manhattan in an hour so I had to leave. I think I’ll be looking into a diffferent oral surgeon to fix my issue.

I came in without an appointment and an emergency referral to get my wisdom tooth extracted. It was about 6pm and the very kind staff accepted me right away, and after filling out a few forms it was off to get an x-​ray and then 5 minutes later into the procedure room. I had Dr. Allen Glied perform the extraction, and there was a very nice woman assisting him. Both made me feel very very comfortable, relaxed, and most importantly, confident in them. I was in and out in an hour, the extraction was painless, I had no swelling and left with a smile. I know I will need more extractions and I will not want to go anywhere other than here. I will definitely recommend this place to all of my friends!
