I enjoyed today's consultation appointment with NSS. The staff was personable, professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. Dr. Carkner's expertise was exemplified through his explanations and answers to my questions regarding my upcoming procedure. I am completely comfortable to follow through with this team. Update: I had my procedure today. Dr. Carkner and team did great. My anxiousness was alleviated through reassurance, light discussion, and humor. The procedure was accomplished quickly and pain free. Still a 5 star rating!

I had a dental emergency when a tooth became very inflamed and swelled my face from under my eye to my chin.....this happened in a day and a half...Dr. Condry got some of the swelling down with antibiotics so the tooth could be removed, everyone in the office was pleasant and caring....if you need dental work, this is where you want to go!

I had a great experience working with Northeast Surgical Specialists. I visited both locations. The consult and then final follow up in Saratoga that bookended the actual TMJ arthrocentesis performed in Queensbury. Both locations were professional and yet welcoming. Dr. Carkner did a wonderful job explaining the whole process. He conveyed it plainly, intelligently without any condescension. Dr. Carkner is supported by one of the best teams I have witnessed. Every team member was able to mix friendliness and professionalism. At the end of the day I feel so much better and my quality of life is greatly improved. Thank you to everyone there.

I have to say I am extremely pleased with my experience! Dr. Carkner and staff were great. I found them to be very professional and informative during the entire procedure (extraction and implant). As someone who had a horrible experience having a wisdom tooth extracted around 30 years ago I was not expecting this to be so easy, but that's exactly what it was. Thank you for your care and for building my confidence.

Last week I came to the Queensbury office to have two extractions done. Dr. Kelling was the oral surgeon that did the work. He was awesome! He was very professional and compassionate as well. I was very anxious about getting the extractions when I first got there. Dr. Kelling calmed me down and I was less anxious. He patiently explained all details of what he'd be doing ahead of time and answered any questions or concerns I had. It didn't matter how many questions I asked, he took the time to answer all of them. I've had experiences in the past with other oral surgeons where I felt rushed and wasn't able to ask all the questions I needed answers to. Crystal, his assistant also was very kind, compassionate and professional. Hopefully , I won't need to have any more extractions, but if I ever do I will always go to Dr. Kelling. He is wonderful. Even though Queensbury is a lot farther away from where I live, compared to the Saratoga office, I'll drive to either office where he is working so I know he will be doing any procedures I need done. It's well worth it. Dr. Kelling is the best oral surgeon around and I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs oral surgery!!

My experience with Dr. Condry was excellent. But when he said that I would feel a slight pinch when he inserted the needle in my mouth, his description was not accurate. Nice experience.
