Dr. Lee is a fantastic doctor and surgeon. I had a more difficult, non-routine wisdom tooth extracted today and he did a beautiful job. He explained all my surgical options before this point- went over the x-rays and CT scan, and made sure I had all the information necessary to make the best decision.

He has had the honor of presenting some of his work at the national meeting of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, as well as being published in the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. He has partaken in many community outreach programs, including dental outreaches to the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Honduras. He has also been a part of Healing the Children, where he provided cleft lip and palate surgery for underprivileged children and adolescents in Bucaramanga, Colombia.

With the backing of his tremendous experience, Dr. Petros Panagos has achieved the honor of becoming board-certified and being named a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. He also is a member of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, the American Dental Association, the NYS Dental Association, and the Nassau County Dental Society. He is active in maintaining continuing education to stay on the cutting edge of his field, as well as keeping current in his Basic Life Support and Advanced Cardiac Life Support training. LI Pulse has recognized Dr. Panagos as a Top Dentist in the Long Island Area. In addition, Dr. Panagos is PALS certified.

He currently lives in Nassau County with his wife and three children. He has many interests outside of the office including sports, outdoor activities, and most importantly, enjoying time with his family.
