Dr. Christopher Cuomo, DDS

Whoever wrote the review about being made to feel "unintelligent" - well, thank you for writing it. I had worried I was overreacting and I was trying to give him the benefit of a doubt.

My son had a consultation in May 2021 for 4 wisdom extractions to be done in June. Staff & Physician were nice and friendly. But unable to get ANYONE to give me a ballpark figure cost for procedure. It was very frustrating to say the least. Got the run-around on who to ask. Requested a Patient Care Coordinator call to discuss. Was never received. 3 weeks after the visit, still had no info. Doctor Office stated they submitted an “electronic” pre-authorization, but I confirmed with my insurance company one was never received. I almost had to cancel surgery. The person responsible for getting “authorizations," was at the last hour trying to get a verbal approval. And that was because I was pressuring them I would cancel. Literally, the approval was accomplished at 4:40PM, minutes before the both Offices closed on a Friday. This could have been a great experience, had it not been for the “ball-dropping” that was done determining insurance coverage/cost.

At first I was very nervous to get my wisdom teeth extracted, but during both my consultation and the day of my surgery, Dr. Cuomo was very kind, sympathetic and made me feel as ease. I was comfortable with both him and staff and they were happy to answer the many questions I had. Dr. Cuomo was also very thorough with my post-op check up and re-assured me that everything was as it should be. He is a great oral surgeon and overall excellent!

I seen Dr. Cuomo 2 years ago for a tooth extraction. He as fast & painless and explained what do post extraction. Home recovery was minimal to none. Staff/office & assistant was very friendly & helpful. I need another extraction and Dr. & office is my first & only choice.

I cannot speak to Dr. Cuomo's competence in oral surgery, but I can speak to his bedside manner and compassion as a medical provider, both of which were exceedingly poor. He did not reassure me or acknowledge the pain I was in whatsoever, and was at times flat out rude. I do not appreciate being treated as if I am unintelligent or that I am exaggerating my pain. He gave no clear recommendations for how I should proceed, and showed far more apathy than empathy.
