Dr. Koslovsky's career trajectory reflects a deep commitment to both clinical practice and medical education.

Dr. Koslovsky's clinical practice encompasses a comprehensive range of oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures. His expertise spans from routine wisdom tooth extraction and dental implant placement to complex reconstructive procedures including orthognathic (corrective jaw) surgery, maxillofacial trauma repair, and advanced bone regeneration techniques[3][4]. He specializes in managing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, performing sinus and nerve dissection procedures, treating jaw cysts and tumors, and conducting sleep apnea surgery[3]. His particular clinical interests include orthognathic surgery, maxillofacial trauma, pathology, and reconstruction[4]. Dr. Koslovsky is renowned for his compassionate bedside manner and his unique ability to customize contemporary surgical techniques to meet individual patient needs[3].
Beyond his private practice, Dr. Koslovsky maintains significant academic and clinical affiliations.

He has further distinguished himself by treating two of only six known cases of Rosai-Dorfman disease of the jaw, contributing valuable clinical experience to the medical literature[2]. Additionally, he is working to build a fully functional operating room in his community where a range of surgical procedures, from cleft lip and palate treatment to facial tumor excision, can be performed with state-of-the-art equipment[2].
