Awful place! My son had a tongue tie procedure done at 2 weeks old. I had seen a review on Google saying they had this procedure done and were billed $800 because of the billing department not submitting to insurance. After reading this review I went over to the practice at Collegeville, had them on a call with my insurance and figuring out billing codes and etc. They told me I'd pay $140 and that would be it. They said I was set and would never see a bill from them. Well well....we got a random bill for $670!!! They said my son was not added in the insurance. Ok...no worries, I called the insurance and he was added and the insurance made sure the coverage backtracked since he was a newborn. Their billing department told us once again they would resubmit the claim under my sons name and we were good. This week I received a letter stating they are sending my husband to collection. The letter said they tried to contact us multiple times. This is a LIE. WE CONTACTED THEM MULTIPLE TIMES. The letter also said we had 10 days to reply but we received a letter on day 9. The billing person screamed at my husband and gave him attitude the whole time when we asked her to resubmit the claim. I called my insurance and they told us they NEVER resubmitted the claim when they told us they did. My insurance called them again and the lady who answered told her SHE REFUSES TO RESUBMIT OUR CLAIM!!!!! My insurance was able to find the older claim and resubmit it. It is in the air if we will end up having to pay $670 or not. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. THEY REFUSE TO SUBMIT MY CLAIM TO INSURANCE! We are also submitting claim with Better Business Bureau. It's not worth the stress. Go somewhere else. The billing department is extremely unprofessional. They will literally scream at you on the phone. My insurance also said this pratcice is nasty to deal with and don't want to help. We made an official complaint with our insurance too and they are going to review their relationship. Stay away, it's not worth the stress.

Dr. Kanter and everyone at Pennsylvania Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery in Collegeville, PA are extremely competent and understanding. They made my dental implants experience painless without anesthesia with only local numbing. Thank you, thank you!

Not very personal, as the only time I "met" the doctor was immediately after my wisdom teeth surgery still coming off of anesthesia. The written post-care guidance was very ambiguous and it was tough to recall all of the verbal aftercare rules. The front desk is also very attacking about wearing masks, but don't even wear theirs correctly or at all. However, the surgery and recovery went smoothly. Thankfully, I'm friends with one of their Dental Surgery tech/assistant so she was super helpful in keeping me sane!

I waited almost two months for an appointment. Went to the appointment and sat for 1/2 hour and then they called me up to tell me they no longer take United Health care. I had the same insurance I had at the last appointment a couple years ago. what a waste of MY time. Don't even want to give one star.

I'll start off by saying I absolutely hate the dentist. I had to have 5 teeth pulled, 4 wisdom and 1 cavity. My dentist referred me to here and these guys were phenomenal. I ended up getting two dry sockets out of the five teeth I had pulled and the pain was beyond crippling. Start to finish was a month from operation to my last visit with them , It was by far the worst experience I've had in my life and Amanda was nothing short of amazing as far as helping me through the process. For what it was, they made the best of it.

Front desk people are very irresponsible for the patient call every time we call for any information before asking anything they put us in hold for more than hour and they don't call back too. its happening every time

Don't bother going here. You can schedule an appointment for 9:30 AM. Be there on time. Wait til 10:30 AM, and then be told your room has been given to someone else. This is the type of care to expect here.

After waiting a month and a half for my appointment, which they had already rescheduled once, I received a text message the morning of my appointment saying that they needed to reschedule again and that I had to call them to reschedule. My husband and I had both taken off work for this appointment and had already completely rearranged our schedules twice, so I did not call them to reschedule and decided to go with another provider instead. The office never followed up with me to reschedule my appointment.

I was looking forward to this appointment I had to make two months in advance. I helped a woman into the waiting room who was pushing a wheelchair. I did not have a mask and neither did she. My other doctors have decided to drop the mask required at their offices. So, I walked to the desk where a young disheveled woman asked me what doctor I was their to see. I had forgotten his name. Another woman asked. Where is your mask. I said I didn't bring one. She pointed at me and some undefined space and said it's posted on the door. Before I could continue with why I had missed their precious sign. I got angry. Who the heck are they. A bunch of really not nice people pointing at a brand new fully vaccinated and boostered patient. No pleasantries. No thanks for selecting our practice. Nothing that I wanted to be a part of. I told her that it was rude to point and that I would be happy to take my many hundreds if not thousands of dollars my mouth needs and find an office and practice that cares about the patient experience. Don't go there. It's nasty. I don't typically write bad reviews. This place and the rude front desk tells all. All behavior comes from leadership. This is not a place I feel safe. If you have suggestions for other implant practices please let me know. I do not want to spend my hard earned dollars on substandard courtesy.

It was my first visit . Though the experience with the receptionist was ok , Dr Huffman and his team were super polite , kind and helpful . He gave me his honest opinion and referrals to some good dentists around collegeville as am relatively new here . Overall a good experience which I never expected since I was there to discuss my molar extraction (and I was super nervous) .

I have used this practice for several years. It started with my children for wisdom teeth, then finally myself for dentures. I have seen several different dental surgeons in this practice. I feel very confident in each and every one of them. The surgeons have always been very friendly. And the office staff has always been very efficient. I would highly recommend this practice. Fondly, Kim Lloyd

Had a tooth extracted and a bone graft recently. Staff was super friendly the whole time. Doctor thoroughly explained the procedure as he was going through it which was both very interesting and comforting. Completely painless and aftercare procedure was made very clear and led to no issues. Would definitely recommend to friends/family.

I waited 6 weeks to get an appt for my 14 yo son who likely has TMJ (1.5 yrs following wisdom teeth extraction from another practice, he can only open his mouth about 1"). It should have been about a 20 min drive to the office. We drove 30 mins and it was clear something was wrong with the GPS directions; I pulled over and called the office to let them know what was going on (by this point we were 5 mins late). A corrected address into GPS said we were 10 mins from the office; I was told I'd have to reschedule in JUNE-- 8 weeks away- no thank you. I was so disappointed and frustrated. Maybe if I hadn't called and just shown up late, we would have been seen? The end result is me scheduling my son to see a TMJ specialist at a different practice. I will not go back to PAOMS nor recommend them.

Very nice staff but the wait time is always 30 minutes plus for the appointment once you arrive. I usually arrive 15 mins early each time too. Please improve patient wait times.
