Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Rey caring doctor and staff.

Compassionate and very thoughtful Oral Surgeon
Doctor Eisig has carefully listened to me and my Implant Needs for Lost due to Infection tooth. I am hoping that I can have an Implant placed in a tight to work space. Doctor Eisig carefully evaluating me and has taken time to walk me through my CBCT Scan and then Implant option. I am so glad that I did find this good Oral Surgeon who also has great sense of humor to cheer you up when you do miss Lost Tooth and not sure if Implants are a possibility for you.

Yearly check up.
Dr Eisig has been my son’s oral surgeon for 4 years now. He removed a tumor in my son’s jaw 4 years ago and also removed his wisdom teeth about 2 years ago. Both surgeries were flawless and Dr Esig exhibited the best care for my son a parent can demand. Informative, compassionate, understanding, professional are some of the words I can use to describe him as well as a great surgeon and human being. My son respects him and has the utmost confidence in him which is most important. Btw, his staff has treated is equally as well. No gripes here.

My general dentist and periodontist brought him in from his office to evaluate a small lump found in my mouth. After conferring with him, they decided to remove the lump and he agreed to stay late in the office and perform the surgery to save me from having to come in for another visit.

Dr. Eisig is the best oral surgeon I have seen. He’s kind, caring and highly knowledgeable. I have an extreme fear of dentistry, especially oral surgery, and he made me feel at ease and very comfortable. I have a rare condition that most dental professionals know little about, if anything at all. Not only is Dr. Eisig highly knowledgeable about this condition, he knows how to keep me comfortable, treating conservatively without irritating the nerve condition I have. He is absolutely outstanding!

BEST ORAL SURGEON THERE IS!!! Dr. Eisig performed my double jaw surgery and it was a great success. I first met Dr. Eisig a few years ago for a consultation regarding my underbite. He was very kind and stood out as an extremely knowledgeable doctor. I went to see him a few times over the course of a year to prepare for my surgery. The surgery itself went smoothly and my underbite was completely fixed. Dr. Eisig and his team did an outstanding job and made the entire process stress-free and painless. He truly cares about his patients and I could not have asked for a better surgeon. Thank you Dr. Eisig!

I believe that for every poor review a business receives, there are countless rave reviews that never get written. This is a rave review. Dr. Eisig ultimately removed a cyst from my upper jaw and sinus cavity that had the potential to cause great pain when agitated; however, prior to the final removal and bone graft, he and his staff helped me navigate (1) pain management and treatment due to my pregnancy, and (2) several surgery-scheduling complications post-delivery because #life. I appreciated both his concise medical explanations and his willingness to elaborate when I needed additional clarity. He and his surgical team also seem to understand the humanizing value of an empathetic look, pat of a hand or stroke of an arm just before “going under the knife”. No matter how many times you have surgery, there are few things more cold and intimidating than an operating room, and the humanity of the people to whom you are entrusting your care makes all the difference. Thank you.

Do not go under the knife with this man even if your life depends on it. I had an apalling jaw surgery experience which did not go as planned. Instead of admitting fault, Eisig blamed me (unconscious, under-anaesthetic me). His bed-side manner is appaling & traumatising. Stay away.

The most careless and arrogant doctor I have ever encountered. He and his assisting surgeons created extreme damage when performing jaw surgery. Instead of moving it straight forward, the jaw was tilted, rotated to the side and rotated down. The misalignment was impossible to repair even after a second surgery at different surgeon office. The most frustrating fact is that Dr Eisig refused to correct it 2 days after the surgery and continue even after shown opinions 3 top surgeons. THE WORST!

Dr. Eisig has been taking care of my son for the past 13 years. He is an outstanding surgeon and human being. He actually cares about his patients and their concerns and takes the time to describe exactly what will occur. We would never go to another oral surgeon.
