About Lehigh Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Evening phone calls from the surgeon after every procedure and calm handling of anxious teens and children mark this oral surgery practice.

This oral and maxillofacial surgery practice, with a team that includes Dr. Brian Wolf, Dr. David Bender, Dr. Guntas Kakar, and Dr. Johri, handles wisdom tooth extractions and other surgical procedures with notable attention to follow-up. Reviews often mention doctors personally calling patients the evening after surgery to check on recovery, and staff using distraction techniques or numbing cream in advance to ease anxious teens and young children through anesthesia. Procedures and post-op instructions are commonly explained step by step, though a few reviews point to billing surprises or occasional lapses at the front desk.

We recently took our son to Lehigh OMS (Dr. Bender) to have his wisdom teeth extracted. They did a great job as usual! A few members of my family have been there for similar procedures. We won’t go anywhere else, as we’ve consistently had a positive experience with Dr. Bender and his staff. They explain everything in detail, are friendly/helpful, and make the entire process (from consult to post-surgery & claim submission) as simple as possible. I’d highly recommend their services.

The experience with this place was both positive and negative. They did a great job with removing my daughter’s wisdom teeth, and for that I’m grateful. The negative part is billing. They snuck in a $122 consultation fee weeks after her surgery. I already paid the entire bill that was given to me. The consultation fee was never on the original bill, and when asked what I owed the day of her consultation I was told nothing. Then I played a lovely game of phone tag with the billing receptionist at the office. In the end I just gave up and paid it. It’s an awful thing to do to someone, and I will never go back and do not recommend( I’d like to edit to say they have sent me an updated bill, and made it right, so I will change my stars to 4)

Dr. Bender and staff were amazing!. The procedure to pull all 4 wisdom teeth went well with no complications. Everyone from the front desk and beyond were wonderful, I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Thank you for taking such good care of my son. Vicki, Natoshia, Diana, Paige, LeChonne and Carmen, we appreciate all of you.

Oral surgeon Dr. Bender was great. He explained the procedure well and answered questions I had. He would get 5 stars. However, Carmen was my staff for recovery. She spent 5 minutes quickly talking about what to do for recovery in the first 5 minutes of me waking up. Then she spent the 30 minutes telling us about her life, health, lifestyle changes, and mixed in talking about food the entire time. I was starving from not eating, it was so rude. Coming out of being put to sleep and her non stop talking was very frustrating. Then when I started asking questions about my recovery at home she was snappy and rude. She was almost offended I had her stop talking about herself for two minutes. I thought maybe I’m just cranky, but my friend that was there, was also blown away at how Carmen behaved. I asked for a paper with the instructions written out. Carmen provided one and highlighted what she wanted me to do. Then when I called back in so much pain, she yelled at me that she told me to alternate the OTC meds. Yet it was highlighted to alter or take together. I didn’t want to call back for anything else after that. It was very terrible aftercare service. Carmen would get 0 stars.

It was great. Dr. Kori, Beth, Paige, Lechonne, and Jairus were super funny and sweet. They walked me through the whole process as we went. Made sure I was comfortable and calm. Carmen was with me through recovery and made sure I was feeling all right. I was given a blanket which was amazing. Overall great experience. I was given a thorough explanation on post op care and feel comfortable recovering.
