I just had a tooth extracted today, with anesthetic and it was a very good experience. Everyone was polite, professional, knowledgeable. I had a tooth extracted at a different oral surgeon location and it wasn't a great experience, which us why i opted for the anesthetic. It couldn't have gone better for me today. I am very glad i chose Lehigh Valley and anesthesia. Very good experience all around. I highly recommend them!

A Five-Star Oral Surgeon Whoever heard of a person looking forward to a tooth extraction? I was referred to Dr. Chaudhry's practice by my regular dentist, Dr. Kenneth Chiusano, for the extraction of my #2 tooth (way in the back of my mouth.) Needless to say, being referred to an oral surgeon is nerve-racking enough but what I experienced at the initial consult and then finally the extraction, warrants a review of very high praise. Firstly, the entire staff is beyond professional and personable. They take the necessary time to explain everything to you in a professional and caring manner so there are no surprises, financially or otherwise. The day of the extraction arrived and I found myself feeling very comfortable and confident about the procedure. You could actually say I was looking forward to returning to Dr. Chaudhry's office to see him and his staff again. The staff and medical assistants were equally wonderful. The procedure was quick and over before I knew it and it turned out I had nothing to worry about at all. Dr. Chaudhry's experience, coupled with his gentleness and genuine care, are also equally noteworthy. My recovery was easier than I imagined and the doctor even called me personally that evening after I left a message for him after the practice had closed when I needed to ask a question. If you're looking for an oral surgeon and live in the Poconos, I suggest you look no further because you have found the right doctor for the job. You won't regret it. A huge shout out to these consummate professionals -- Dr. Chaudhry, and his office manager, Destiny, and colleagues Tiffany, Amanda, Christine, Tasha, Asha, Kristine and Ally. They're all terrific and I highly recommend LEHIGH VALLEY ORAL SURGERY AND IMPLANT CENTER.

The Dr. was very good my only gripe is having to wait an hour and a half to be see,seems they had an emergency that needed attention all they had to do was explain to those of in the waiting room something was setting them back no transparency,I'm sure those of us waiting for over an hour would understand I know I did

When I saw how young that beautiful doctor was, my mind said oh no, this can't happen to me. But, I want tell you how great she was, she was gentle, Experienced , efficient, effective, there are no words to describe how this doctor as young as she is, along with her incredible staff was. I'm impressed not a five star but a 10 star performance.

I have been a patient at LVOS for almost 2 years and have utilized their services several times. All the doctors and staff there are very personable and very professional. They treat their patients with a positive demeanor and a down to earth, human approach which I greatly appreciate. Even more importantly, they are there when I need them and get me an appointment as quickly as possible. The doctor's quality of work will far exceed anyone's expectations. I had Dr. Chaudhry the first 2 times and he was outstanding in every sense of the word. On my third visit I was lucky enough to receive care from Dr. Farag who was just as outstanding and may very well have topped Dr. Chaudhry's novocaine needle technique. I didn't feel a thing! I would highly recommend this office to anyone in need of great oral surgery care. Thank you LVOS!
