About
New York Oral & Facial Surgery, founded by Dr. Adam T. Hershkin, DMD, in the fall of 2009, stands as a premier destination for advanced oral and maxillofacial surgery in East Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Located at 18 E 48th St #1502, New York, NY 10017, this patient-centric practice was established with a singular mission: to deliver the utmost in quality care, compassion, safety, and customer service from the initial phone call through the final post-operative visit. Dr. Hershkin, a board-certified Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, envisioned a practice that treats every patient as an individual, prioritizing their unique needs in a calming, respectful environment. This commitment sets NYOFS apart in a bustling urban landscape where rushed appointments and impersonal care are too common. Unlike larger clinics that juggle multiple patients simultaneously, NYOFS adheres to a one-patient-at-a-time philosophy, ensuring undivided attention, thorough explanations of diagnoses and treatments in accessible terms, and timely scheduling without the frustration of outsourced answering services.[1][2][4]
Dr. Hershkin's journey to founding NYOFS is marked by rigorous training and a passion for oral surgery ignited during his time at Temple University School of Dentistry in Philadelphia, where he earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree in 2001. Elected secretary of the oral and maxillofacial surgery honor society, he demonstrated early leadership and dedication. Following dental school, he pursued a surgical internship in oral and maxillofacial surgery at the Medical College of Virginia Hospitals in Richmond. He then returned to New York for his residency at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center in Manhattan, where he excelled as Chief Resident. This comprehensive foundation equipped him with expertise in complex procedures, and his academic contributions further distinguish him: he co-authored a chapter on oral and maxillofacial regional anesthesia in the textbook 'Peripheral Nerve Blocks – Principles and Practice' and has published multiple case reports. Dr. Hershkin also enjoys teaching, lecturing to residents and peers on various topics, and maintains staff privileges at prestigious Mount Sinai facilities, including Mount Sinai Morningside, Mount Sinai Queens, The Mount Sinai Hospital, and Mount Sinai West.[1][2][3]
The practice's core services reflect Dr. Hershkin's concentration in advanced office-based surgery, including complex bone grafting and dental implant reconstruction for full-mouth rehabilitation, difficult wisdom tooth extractions, exposure of impacted canines to facilitate orthodontics, conservative management of TMJ disorders, and treatment of oral pathology. Common patient visits encompass dental consultations, new patient exams, tooth extractions, wisdom tooth issues, and X-rays, with options for online video visits enhancing accessibility. NYOFS employs the highest quality materials and newest technologies to ensure optimal results and comfort, whether for routine procedures like wisdom tooth removal or intricate cases like dental implants that restore natural-looking, durable smiles.[1][2][4]
What truly differentiates NYOFS is its unwavering patient-first ethos. Patients are not just cases but valued individuals deserving genuine respect and excellence. The serene office environment, detailed attention to every aspect of care, and availability of Dr. Hershkin and his team—including skilled colleague Dr. Jason Cho—create a seamless, stress-free surgical experience. Testimonials highlight Dr. Hershkin's friendliness, attentiveness, and high recommendation rate (4.92/5 on Healthgrades), underscoring the practice's reputation for transformative care.[4][5] In an era of standardized healthcare, NYOFS elevates the standard by fostering trust, listening intently, and celebrating patient smiles. Whether addressing tooth loss through state-of-the-art implants or resolving TMJ pain conservatively, the practice empowers patients on their journey to superior oral health. With over 15 years since inception (as of 2026) and Dr. Hershkin's 25+ years of post-DMD experience, NYOFS continues to innovate while honoring its foundational promise of compassionate precision.[1][2][4]
