I used Dr. Katz several years ago for a tooth extraction and was so pleased. I need another tooth removed and I will only use Dr. Katz again. His professional work was wonderful and I trusted him, so I will see again.

I was referred to Dr. Lokot by my dentist to have my wisdom teeth removed and it was the best experience ever!! I was asleep for the entire procedure and hardly had any pain or swelling afterwards. Dr. Lokot even called me later that evening to check and make sure everything was OK. I'm generally a dental chicken but Dr. Lokot explained everything to me and his staff made me feel really comfortable during every step. I also took my kids to him and was extremely happy with how he handled them. Highly recommended!

Dr. Lokot is the best oral surgeon I have ever encountered. I had to have two (2) bone grafts for two dental implants. One of those grafts consisted of a sinus lift. The care and attention to detail I was given before and after each procedure by Dr. Lokot and his staff was the most thorough giving me great piece of mind and relief. They answered all my questions and took excellent care of me in this process that has taken almost a year. Thank you!

I was treated very unprofessionally by the entire office staff. First, they never told me it would take almost a year to do a graft, and start the implant. They also never told me the entire cost of the procedures I would be having. Every time I walked in it was more money and then I found out the next procedure of starting the implant was going to be even more. They were rude to me every time I went in and when I woke from surgery they were rude. No one ever told me how much pain I would have. I have a high tolerance for pain, but this was so far beyond that and because I can't take pain medications very well. They never suggested using oil of cloves until I had an emergency visit because of the pain. Even that didn't really help. Finally, they told me take 4 advil every four hours. I had to do that for about two weeks and that isn't good for your kidneys. And after the Covid problems, I went in and wore a face shield. They knew full well that I was claustrophobic. I explained it again and they said it didn't matter I had to wear a mask. I said I could not or I would be screaming. Had they told me this before my appointment (of which I spoke to them 3 times prior), I would have known their rules and told them my problem and if they needed a letter from my other doctor I would have gotten it to them, but they never once said anything to me. And they were rude yet again. I would not recommend these people if you want someone who is nice and tells you everything up front that you should know before starting a proceddure.

Even one star is too much for this amator surgeon ! He was about to kill my mom for a tooth extraction ! He knew all my mom ‘s conditions also I shared all her medical documents with him . After the surgery she was bleeding for 3 weeks ! We took her to ER 5 times !!! After 3 months when I took my mom back home to my country , our family oral surgeon took out the remaing of her broken tooth from her gums which was preventing the bone to heel !!! I still can’t believe what he did with her . She still doesn’t feel good after almost a year ! Do not trust this 5 star amator doctor at all !
