All the staff are absolutely amazing. They helped me with my anxiety before my wisdom teeth extraction (all 4!) and were very understanding. I would refer anyone to their office . It's day two and I feel good, minimal swelling, no bruising, very happy. I know it always depends on the person how you heal but I think a doctor that is very good at what he does will always make sure you have the best outcome you can physically have. Thank you so much for making a very scary procedure seem like a walk in the park!

My husband had to have an extraction done and we thankfully found Somerset OMS. We found it a little difficult to get a quick appointment, but thankfully Daphne called us quickly and got him in within two days. She did an excellent job of getting us all the paperwork that needed to be submitted. Her professionalism and friendliness made it a pleasure to deal with the office. Special thanks to her. Dr. Hecht was great, he made my husband feel very at ease and joked with him during the procedure. The entire office was fantastic and I would definitely recommend this office to anyone. They went above and beyond to get my husband in the office. Thank you to everyone!

Zero handicap accessibility. Non existent directions for patient pickup ( patients undergoing anesthesia) Three handicap parking spaces at the entire facility. I personally didn't have services preformed here and would advise demanding explesive directions for parking and patient pickup

The Staff Starting From Daphne who greeted me to the clinical staff Natalie, Gianna & Mia were helpful, accommodating & made me feel comfortable in an environment I usually have high anxiety! Dr Efron explained everything and made sure I understood before starting my surgery! He called me the day after to make sure I was OK! That doesn't happen with any doctors appointment I've had. If you want a home away from home experience, look no further.

Very great place! Staff are wonderful. Very professional, helpful, and kind. Dr. Efron is a highly skilled doctor and knows exactly what he's doing. They have a very good operation at this place. You felt cared for and important as their patient.

maybe i am just tough and awesome but this place was literally fun to have all 4 of my wisdoms removed at and i am nearly fully healed. I have been being very gentle and am following the instructions but yea practically no pain whatsoever and my bottom right one was shot with a laser beam essentially, not by the oral surgeon, just jokin bout how i messed it up before lmfao.

Absolute delightful experience with the staff at Somerset Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Center. Calandra, Daphne and Natalie were very warm and welcoming and made a painful situation very bearable. Dr Joel Efron was very good at his craft. I highly recommend this practice. Top notch and way better than 5 stars.

I highly recommend this place. We saw Dr. Efron and he did a great job with my son's extractions. And yes- he even called the day after to check on my son (most places don't do that anymore). The staff was nice. It seems like they all like their jobs and they treat their patients respectfully as individuals. Definitely coming back here for all my family needs.
