Customer Reviews
Dr Eisigh is one of the best Dr's in America. He gave me my face back. He did miracle with his surgery. Thank you, Dr. Eisig!
Dr. Eisig and his team were professional, friendly, courteous, and attended to my needs and concerns. He took time to explain his concerns in a way I could understand; honestly answered my burning questions; and provided the name of a device that might improve my bite radius. I appreciated the fact that he suggested I meet with Dr. Wu before final decisions on the next steps moving forward are made. I am so grateful to be in the hands of NY-P’s amazing Head & Neck Cancer Care team!
If you need an experienced oral surgeon with vast knowledge, great bedside manner and good sense of humor search no further! Dr Eisig is simply the best!! I have consulted a handful of other surgeons for my condition before I came across Dr.Eisig’s name through a dentist’s recommendation. When other surgeons were all about how risky my surgery would be and what could go wrong, Dr Eisig approached my condition with a positive attitude and outlook, and gave me hope. I am happy to say that 6 years later my scans are clear and my teeth are reconstructed thanks to Dr Eisig and his wonderful and very talented residents team led by him. His office support staff is very pleasant and easy to work with at the Vanderbilt Clinic (NYC), my experience has been positive from start to finish. Extra shout out to Susan who always made sure that the necessary paperwork was ironed out for my visits and scans.
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!
Please do yourselves a favor and do not go to this doctor. He appears as though he is in the best interest of the patient, but in truth, he is only interested in self gains and masks this agenda by trying to get you to trust him with his sense of humor and jokes. He is hungry for money and will charge you significant out of pocket fees to custom make oral appliances that you so call “need” (that in actuality are covered by insurance if he puts inputs the necessary billing codes) all so that he can make an additional $1500+ profit on each patient. As a former patient he charged me $1500 for an oral appliance that caused my jaw to LOCK after 4 nights of wearing it. I have been suffering with EXTREME pain since. He then offers to perform surgery to fix the problem he caused. As if anyone would go under the knife with someone who created a problem in the first place?!
He misdiagnoses, drains you of your money and time, and you leave worse than you came in. He is not a doctor. He is a BUTCHER.
