My 2 kids need an oral surgeon and they are hard to find.

It could be anywhere in New York but they have to take Fidelis.

TIA

Go to a major medical center - what do they need done? Extraction of adult or baby teeth? How old? I send my peds patients to Montefiore for oral surgery.

Thanks smiledr.

One needs a wisdom tooth extracted he is 19 and the other needs a midline frenectomy and is 11 yrs. old.

Anyone you can recommend that is good and not too scary my 11 yr. old has been to many doctors for various health issues and is very nervous around doctors.

thanks

I don't know if they take fidelis but the oral surgery team at Beth Israel is great.

Wisdom tooth exo on a 19 yo and frenectomy are both thankfully simple procedures - everyone at Montefiore is great. See if u can get dr bastidas but for such simple procedures you're more likely to get a resident - no need to worry, they are great too.
