Patient Review 1:

My wife and I were referred to Dr Kissell when we both needed extractions and implants. My wife is a physician and has very high standards personally and professionally. She has always said Dr. Kissel has 'magic' hands because of his skill and effectiveness. He manages to do such fine and efficient surgery that the results are painless and exquisite. He has such good humor and is so concerned with your care that his modesty belies his excellence. I was just happy to find out there was a place to share my experience and offer some praise for his excellence.

Treatment Length with Dr. Kissel: 5 years.

Patient Review 2:

Two weeks ago, I saw Dr. Kissel for the first time after my dentist referred me to him for an evaluation of my gums. One week ago, Dr. Kissel performed a gum graft on my lower jaw. If it were not for the fact that my tongue could detect some very tiny sutures in my mouth, I would never have known that periodontal surgery was performed on me. At no time during the surgery or since the surgery did I experience any discomfort whatsoever. I've had haircuts that were more painful and traumatic than my gum graft! Dr. Kissel has an extremely warm personality, is very reassuring, thorough in the explanation of his treatments and the treatments themselves, and he is quite obviously one of the most--if not THE most--gifted and talented periodontists his profession has seen. Dr. Kissel's star qualities are mirrored in his kind and gracious staff. His office manager Martina is super-efficient and charming, and his assistant Kimba is delightful and knows her work well. I just left Dr. Kissel's office after a brief follow-up visit and before heading back to my office made a quick detour to my dentist's office to thank him for recommending Dr. Kissel to me. It is BY FAR and without question the best medical experience I have ever had.

Treatment Length with Dr. Kissel: 2 weeks.

Patient Review 3:

Dr. Kissel did my gum graft last December. He and the staff could not have been nicer. I had such a speedy recovery, and little pain. I would highly recommend Dr. Kissel's office for a gum graft or any other procedures! he did a great job.

Treatment Length with Dr. Kissel: 10 months.

Patient Review 4:

I have worked with Dr. Kissel for 4 years during which time he has performed major periodontal work on my mouth. I have never liked going to the dentist, so I was quite nervous about having gum replacement surgery (I had extensive damage to my gums). But I can't say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Kissel and his team. First of all, Dr. Kissel is a perfectionist. The work he did on my mouth was superb and I am very happy with the results. He also provides excellent patient care. Every time I have a procedure, I get a call from Dr. Kissel that evening to make sure that I am comfortable and I don't have questions or concerns. He genuinely cares about his patients and it shows in the work he does.

Anyone who has had major dental work knows that it's often a long, drawn out battle with one's insurance company. Dr. Kissel wrote letters to my insurance co. detailing my procedures to insure that I received the maximum benefit. Normally I would have to chase down a doctor to make sure this was done, but Martina, Dr. Kissel's office manager, is prompt and efficient. She keeps the office running smoothly and she stayed on top of my insurance company. Thank you Dr. Kissel and team!!

Treatment Length with Dr. Kissel: 4 years.

Patient Review 5:

Dr. Kissel did a remarkable job of saving my tooth from extraction. My regular dentist was convinced that I would lose the tooth and would need a dental implant but Dr. Kissel was able to save my tooth and prepare it for use in a bridge. My regular dentist pronounced the work "awesome". In addition to the quality of the work, Dr. Kissel displayed a sincere investment in helping me and a concern, particularly during the procedure, about how I was tolerating the procedure. Although I did undergo oral surgery, I had no subsequent pain and no subsequent problem with the work done. I asked Dr. Kissel for a "miracle" and got it.

About Hygienist: Dr. Kissel's hygienist was also excellent. She was clearly competent and was kind and caring in her attitude toward me.

Treatment Length with Dr. Kissel: 6 months.

Patient Review 6:

I found Dr Kissel online after having two failed tissue grafts performed by another periodontist. Dr Kissel was able to reconstruct the damaged area beautifully. If he could fix that mess- I think he can do almost anything. I then had another set of grafts done. His techniques produce great results with the absolute minimum of discomfort. Martina, the office manager, is also fantastic- she runs a well organized office and handled all the insurance submissions. For tissue grafts I would not go elsewhere.

I think the costs are comparable to other periodontists.

Treatment Length with Dr. Kissel: 6m.

Patient Review 7:

Dr Kissel performed a non-surgical treatment on my much troubled gum and it produced remarkable results. I had an implant procedure which was a great success as well.

I would highly recommend Dr Kissel for his formidable knowledge of his field and outstanding level of care for patients.

Treatment Length with Dr. Kissel: 6 months.

Patient Review 8:

Dr. Kissel is the best periodontist you can find. I've been going to him for years and have followed him everywhere. He's both technically great and has a wonderful personality. I've had amazing results with him for gum surgery and gum grafting and he made the entire ordeal very manageabe. I would recommend him to everyone.

Treatment Length with Dr. Kissel: 8 years.

Patient Review 9:

An excellent experience. From the front desk to the exam and surgery rooms, everyone I encountered was warm, courteous kind and helpful. Dr Kissel is amazing. He explained every step v carefully and put a premium on procedures which minimized swelling and pain. The end results were fantastic..my smile is back to being me. Can't recommend him highly enough and have already sent my mother to see him.

Treatment Length with Dr. Kissel: 2 years.

Patient Review 10:

i had very advanced gum recession at the age of 38, and i'd been putting off graft surgery for a few years. Despite my fears, my experience with Dr Kissel was fantastic! In fact, i called him the day after surgery to ask him if the absence of pain was something i should be worried about...i really couldn't recommend him more. Great experience (as far as surgery goes!) all around

Treatment Length with Dr. Kissel: 6 weeks.

Patient Review 11:

I have always had a fear of visiting a dentist eventhough there were never any problems. Having sensitive gums always made a simple cleaning very painful. The thought of having to experience tissue grafting was quite scary for me. During my visit with Dr. Kissel, only one small area was grafted. I never experienced any pain or discomfort. When I was told that I needed to come back for additional grafting to correct a much larger area than the first, I was actually looking foward to making any improvements that Dr. Kissel felt necessary. Today I am still amazed that I did not experience any pain or discomfort from each of the two visits.

Treatment Length with Dr. Kissel: 9 months.

Patient Review 12:

In 1992, I was involved in a traumatic car accident where I lost all my teeth due to breaking the steering wheel with my jaw & luckily that DDS was able to surgically reimplant all my teeth! 15 years later, my 4 bottom front teeth began to turn hollow & pink. My teeth had necrosed from nursing my son & I needed to do something fast. My dentist referred me to Dr. Kissel & I thought he was wonderful! He explained everything to me & he was very honest about best/worse case scenerio & cost. I had to decide if I was to remove 2 teeth or all 4 bottom teeth & do implants or a bridge. After weeks of struggling, I decided to remove 2 teeth & root canal the other 2 teeth. I decided on the implants because all the doctors felt I would get the best long term results with them. After several surgeries to remove the teeth, rebuild new bone in my jaw, place the implants & finally have crowns put on...I couldn't be happier that I went with the implants! Although expensive, it was so worth it! It feels just like my real teeth, especially since I can floss them & I can eat apples & corn again after 15 years! I think Dr. Kissel is wonderfully talented & really performs miracles. I am grateful that I found him!

Treatment Length with Dr. Kissel: 2.

Patient Review 13:

I am really a chicken when it comes to dental work. Dr. Kissel and his highly professional staff made my dental surgery experience so much better than I ever thought possible. The office is clean and contemporary. The equipment is state-of-the-art. Dr. Kissel uses the latest technology, including an amazing sort of microscope that allows him to see much more than would be possible with the naked eye. He trains regularly to be aware of new developments.

His assistant Kemba is so likable and sympathetic. Martina runs a highly efficient office and is also very pleasant. Oh, and they play great music.

I had quite alot of work done over the past year and everything seems to be working out just fine.

Treatment Length with Dr. Kissel: one year.

Patient Review 14:

When my dentist Dr. M.Sabbagh told me that I needed an implant for a front tooth he promised to send me to the best Periodontist in town. And he did. Dr.Scott Kissel's office is state of the art. The procedure was painless due to Dr. Kissel's knowledge, skill, artestry and kindness. I left his office with a temporary front tooth that looks and feels like my own. Thank you Dr. Kissel. H.H.N..D.F. NY. 09-26-07

Treatment Length with Dr. Kissel: one month.

Patient Review 15:

From top to bottom my experience with Dr. Kissel was excellent. My general dentist said that I needed an implant for my top front tooth, a highly aesthetic region, and he recommended Dr. Kissel. I was told he was an "artist," and I couldn't agree more.

The receptionist (Martina) is the first smile you see, and she masters the balance of being professional and personable. She made sure I knew what was going on as far as my insurance goes, and was totally cooperative even when my insurance company wasn't! She knows me by name and is a comforting presence every time I go there.

The real beauty of this company, though, is the man himself, Dr. Scott Kissel. He is one of those rare dentists who can tell you what's wrong and how he's going to fix it in a way that you can understand. Add to that the fact that he is so incredibly nice! On the rare occasion I felt pain, I almost felt guilty for wincing because I knew he had only the best intentions.

In the end, my implant looks flawless. The alignment is spot on, and my gum line looks completely natural. He spent the time to make sure everything was perfect, and now I can live my life knowing I still have my great smile. Thank you, Dr. Kissel!

Treatment Length with Dr. Kissel: 1 year.

Patient Review 16:

I recently had a gum graft procedure. I am a somewhat anxious patient so I was relieved that the staff and Dr. Kissel made the experience pleasant. The surgery lasted 2 1/2 hours and I had no discomfort during the procedure. I did not experience any swelling, bleeding or major discomfort. A few weeks later and my stitches are gone and I feel great. I recommend Dr. Kissel without hesitation!

Treatment Length with Dr. Kissel: 6 months.

Patient Review 17:

Top notch dentist on all dimensions that matter. Went to Dr. Kissell after terrible experience with another periodontist, and the difference could not have been more extreme

Micro-surgery for bone implant and gum graft was relatively painless and quick for recovery time --- both in an absolute sense and comparatively for the latter procedure given that it was a repeat of a procedure performed poorly elsewhere

Dr's demeanor is friendly and was very responsive to both an after-hours call and an unscheduled drop-in to check on my healing

Office staff is very professional and expedient in dealing with insurance

I strongly recommend Dr. Kissel and his team for anyone seeking a periodontist

Treatment Length with Dr. Kissel: 4 months.
