Fred Haim, DDS

Had my four wisdom teeth removed and it was fast and painless! I recovered just like he had mentioned and they even called to make sure I was doing well. Great staff and great service

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Dr. Haim and his staff.
After years of neglect, I needed to have 4 wisdom teeth removed. Procedure was done in less than 45 minutes. I felt no pain during and the «aftermath period» of pain was also non-​existent. I healed within a week.
I would have taken care of this years ago had I known how easy this would have been.

I meant to write a review about Dr. Haim a long time ago but haven’t gotten around to it. He is absolutely wonderful. Dr. Haim removed all four of my wisdom teeth and was spectacular. Never having surgery before this, I was very nervous. Freaking out and crying before he put me to sleep and he and his staff were very kind, talking me through it and giving me laughing gas to calm me down. When I woke back up, I already had a blanket on my lap and they were all by my side. I asked for some extra Novocain before I left and no problem, he gave me some. A wonderful and professional environment, I recommend him to anyone needing oral surgery!

My husband decided to have all 4 wisdom teeth removed at the age of 35; I guess in New York they aren’t big on removing them as teenagers. Anyways, he has teeth that are very close together and the surgery was in theory somewhat complicated, but Dr. Haim is a pro and he had him in and out in about an hour. On top of that he called to check in and make sure everything was okay, and most importantly my husband had no pain and no complications after surgery. As an added benefit his other teeth have spaced out a little which has made flossing much easier for him. If you’re on the fence about removing your teeth don’t be, and make sure you go to Dr. Haim!

Excellent dentist! Dr. Haim is amazing, I had my wisdom pulled bt him a few years back and a month ago I had my upper molar pulled. He’s has in house local and general anaesthetic’s at a very affordable price. Fast, efficient, friendly, clean with great staff. I really couldn’t be happier and although I wish he also did general dentistry, we can’t have everything. Whenever I need major work done and general anaesthetic I will always come to Dr. Haim. 5 stars all the way, thank you Dr. Haim.

I had a lower bicuspid crack down to the root and it needed to come out. My dentist recommended Dr. Haim and he gave me a quote to do the extraction and put in an implant. I don’t do well with general anesthesia; although I was offered it, I elected a local. It was probably one of the most disgusting procedures I’ve ever had done lol but there was no pain. Just the sounds — vacuum, crunching, etc. shutter! Anyway, enough bone came out with the stupid tooth he had to do a bone graft so the time it took to heal and integrate the new graft was somewhat lengthy. Once that was all set, in went the titanium screw, later the abutment and finally I could return to my regular dentist for the prosthetic — like a crown. This was in about 2005. I’d say the whole thing from extraction to crown took about 9 months. But I’ve had zero problems with the implant, I don’t have a gap and everything’s hunky dory.
My son needed his top wisdom teeth out and Haim was amazing. He told me to go to the waiting room for the extraction. I went out there, sat down, and as soon as my butt hit the seat and I opened a magazine, Haim came out and said he was done! I swear he snapped his fingers and the teeth flew out or something. My son acted like it was nothing and just went on with his life. Oh yeah, he avoided sucking through a straw or eating stuff with little seeds etc.
I’ve heard horror stories about oral surgery but Haim’s the man.

Let’s face it, no one likes having to deal with anything dental, but if you’re going to have to, this is the place to have it done. I returned last Friday to have the second of two lower wisdom teeth extracted and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Dr. Haim and his staff went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. The entire procedure was pain free, even though I only had a local anesthetic. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I had all four of my wisdom teeth extracted by Dr. Haim at 18. Because I got sick the week my surgery was scheduled they had to reschedule my appointment to the weekend before my college finals were to begin. I was worried about the recovery time more than everything else but I was pleasantly surprised. I DON’T like needles so pre-​surgery they used laughing gas to calm me down before putting the IV in. It did hurt but in a few minutes I was out like a light. I woke up and my jaw hurt and I was extremely cranky and groggy but other than that I felt okay. I recovered in there recovering room for a bit until I could stand on my own then left and had my mom fill my prescription and went home to sleep. For some reason I was bleeding a bit excessively which made it difficult to take the Vicodin and once I finally got it down my throat I threw it up. I stuck to taking Advil for the rest of the day and just kept applying new gauze if the ones covering the holes got too bloody. After I woke up from my nap the holes seemed to be fine and apart from feeling sleepy and a bit sore, I felt fine. It took me a day or two to recover and then I felt like my normal self, just in time for finals. I only really had a bit of swelling the first day and light yellow bruises for a few following days but other than that everything went perfect. I would highly recommend Dr. Haim, especially to people that are dreading getting their wisdom teeth taken out.

Recently, I had 4 wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Haim. The procedure went well and I’m recovering on schedule. The best thing about the process was that a member of the staff called me the very next morning and checked on how I was doing!
That kind of attention to detail is what makes Dr. Haim and he staff stand out from the rest!

My son had four wisdom teeth extracted, two were impacted. He is 17 years old and a high school student. We researched several oral surgeons and went with Dr. Fred Haim who did an outstanding job with our son who never felt a thing, and recovered beautifully. The office and staff was courteous and efficient. Dr. Haim was caring, confident and wonderful in every way. We couldn’t have been happier with how this surgery went. Thanks Dr. Haim!

Dr. Haim extracted my daughter’s wisdom tooth. At first I was terrified of what my daughter was to experience. To my surprise, Dr. Haim gave her such a good anesthesia that she was very comfortable with having her wisdom teeth removed. His office staff, especially Randy, are just wonderful. thanks so much for making things better for my daughter.

I had two impacted wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Haim recently after putting it off for a little longer than I should’ve. I attribute that to the fact that I was awake and all too aware of every crack, crunch, and pull involved when a different dentist removed the first two wisdom teeth. Needless to say, I was less than enthused about experiencing that pain again.
However, my experience with Dr. Haim and his staff was nothing short of excellent. During a pre-​surgery exam, he walked me through the procedure, the possible complications, and the recovery stage in thorough fashion, which helped put me at ease. The surgery itself took less than an hour, and the only memory I have of the procedure is sitting down in the chair, getting an IV put (painlessly) into my arm, and then being helped to the recovery area by a staff member. Compared to my previous dental experiences, this was a piece of cake.
What really made me a fan, however, was a phone call from Dr. Haim later that evening to ensure that I was feeling okay. A very nice personal touch to compliment the very efficient and expert dental work.
Highly recommend Dr. Haim and his staff if you find yourself in need of an oral surgeon.

I, like most people, do not enjoy going to the dentist. As it had to happen i had a very bad infection in my lower right tooth. I dragged myself to my dentist, who said that he could not help me here anymore. He referred me to Fred Haim to get the tooth extracted.
Now I believe a tooth exctraction to be the pregnancy/​labor and delivery equivalent of dentistry. Everyone has their story to share, and all of them involve excessive amounts of pain. Needless to say, I was very nervous, and I wasn’t expecting anything pleasant to come from this experience.
I was wrong. Dr. Haim and his assistants did an amazing job. I felt no pain at all during the entire procedure. First he put a numbing gel in my mouth before the shots so those don’t even hurt! Then Dr. Haim asked me to open my mouth so he can check on the tooth… the next thing i see is already my tooth on the tray… Dr. Haim is A-​M-​A-​Z-​I-​N-​G. I am sad that he only deals with oral surgery, as I would defiantly be coming for my teeth here…
They took such great care of me. I was really impressed. One day later I am still a little sore, but nothing unmanageable. The office even called me to check how i feel.
Overall, this office is very professional, eco-​friendly, on the cutting edge of dental technology, and best of all, friendly and empathetic. I would highly recommend their practice to anyone looking for an oral surgery office in the area.

I had my wisdom tooth removed about a month ago and have only GOOD things to say about Dr Haim and his staff. I was very concerned because my roots were very curved but he did an AMAZING job.
First of all, they took me in the same day, which I really appreciated, and had me out of the office in less than an hour. Dr Haim took the time to explain my options, the aftercare, the possible complications and the follow up.
I didn’t have any complications and took only 2 Vicodin the whole time. I would absolutely recommend him.

I shopped around a lot before I settled on having all 4 of my impacted wisdom teeth removed. Dr. Haim was the only oral surgeon to break down the surgery for me, take time to answer my questions and actually listen to my concerns. I did not want to get put under general anesthesia and Dr. Haim assured me that it would not be a problem. The staff at Dr. Haim’s office are incredibly friendly and helpful. I called and e-​mailed them multiple times with stupid questions post-​surgery and every time they answered me in a timely manner. I had to call Dr. Haim twice after hours on the weekend for pain and issues with my stitches, but BOTH times he returned my call quickly and worked to resolve the issue. I can’t recommend him enough, he really is a gem.

Dr. Haim is the best oral surgeon I have ever come across. For years, I put off having my wisdom teeth extracted because of the fear of being put under sedation. Dr. Haim is a pro at local anasthesia, and painlessly removed my wisdom teeth in under 5 minutes. His office is very clean, his staff is very professional, and they are great at getting you in to the office in an emergency situation.

I interviewed oral surgeons for my son’s wisdom teeth extractions. Dr Haim stood out above the crowd. He was straight forward, kind, listened well, and was very professional. His office is clean and has modern equipment. Judy at the front desk was great dealing with insurance, appointments, etc. She set up everything by email so I didn’t have to play telephone tag. That really helped with my crazy schedule. They also have early morning appointments too (we had 7:45AM). Since Dr. Haim is on the Aetna PPO list, 4 wisdom teeth out cost only $ 30. AMAZING! He personally called to check in on my son after surgery too. Turns out I need a small procedure and Dr. Haim will be doing mine too. You don’t find gems like this very often.

When I was 18, a jaw specialist warned me that my crowded jaw could equal TMJ in my later years, and that I needed to have all four of my wisdom teeth extracted as soon as possible.
Flash forward ten years. All sorts of excuses have kept all four impacted wisdom teeth in my mouth– no money for the costly procedure, no time to take off work to recuperate, no desire to have oral surgery., you get the idea.
At age 28, I find myself with a little time to spare, as well as shockingly good dental insurance. My mouth is a pretty uncomfortable place, as my teeth have become increasingly crowded as the impacted wisdom teeth have erupted. I started seeing a new dentist (Dr. Melinda Gordon, whom I think is pretty fantastic) and she refers me to Dr. Haim for my wisdom teeth.
Incidentally, Dr. Haim pulled a tooth for my Dad about two years ago. It went really well for my pops, so I figured it would go well for me also. I made my consult appointment, and found the staff and the surgeon to be extremely helpful and friendly. I was shocked to find out that my copay on the procedure was only about $ 500 (that’s with anesthesia) and I set up my appointment.
The night before I was freaked, and I’d heard so many horror stories of people taking two weeks to heal, etc. I settled myself down, reminded myself of the hours I’ve spent getting tattooed. I took a deep breath, went in at nine AM and left by 11:30, sans wisdom teeth.
I was high still when I left, but slept it off by the afternoon. I had filled my vicodin prescription, but didn’t feel enough pain to take them.
Today is day two without my wisdom teeth, and I’m a little stiff, a little sore, but nothing crazy. I’m starting to miss solid foods, and I’m thinking maybe Monday I’ll eat a sandwich.
Overall, I could not be more pleased with the outcome of my surgery thus far, and I would recommend Dr. Haim to anyone who needs an oral surgeon.
