Dr. Boris Zats, DDS

AWFUL EXPERIENCE: I had an oral surgery performed by another surgeon but had an unbearable pain and since my surgeon is in the office on Tues and Wed only I decided to check if another surgeon can help me.
One of the doctors (last name starts with an F — Fatimani or something like that) did NOT act as a doctor who took The Hippocratic Oath. He does NOT give a damn about it. He actually wanted me to agree to the fact that by helping me he MAY PERMANENTLY DAMAGE MY TOUNGE or something like that. I actually asked him if he were a real doctor as I was speechless. I basically got up crying from pain and left and he just shrugged his shoulders. BE AWARE. Such doctors need to practice theoretical medicine at home by reading books!!!
I never write reviews about anything but this was just a case, which I had to share as I do not wish anyone such an experience.

Great doctor, highly recommend. The receptionist is a menopausal, life loathing beyotch who totally tarnishes the entire experience. I mean, do you NEED to be so nasty with EVERYONE that enters the office? I hope someone new is in her place. Haven’t been for some time. But as far as Dr. Zats, very very professional! Great hands!

Dr. Zats is a good doctor. He put my implant impressively fast that i even hardly noticed it. I was impressed how skilled he was. However, his front desk staff in Forest Hills is something else — rude, unprofessional, lost. I had some issues with my credit card and insurance, but gladly its over. However, they did not handle is professionally. I like the doctor though.

super doctor. recomended

I have been to Dr. Zats for oral surgery twice, once for an implant about 4 years ago, and once for an extraction this week. After this week’s experience I felt I had to write a review, because he is a great doctor who not only does a great job but cares about his patients. His staff are professional and friendly. I have heard some complain about the woman at the front desk who deals with insurance matters, my take on her is that she is very straightforward, ‘no nonsense’. She will give you her unvarnished assessment of what your insurance will and will not cover and what you will be responsible for. I appreciate that, it is much better than going in not really knowing how badly your wallet is going to get hit. Let’s face it, most dental insurance isn’t that great.
The other staff are nice and competent. Dr. Zats is a VERY nice guy, personable, professional, and will be very honest with you about your options and his recommendations. And both times I found his work to be very quick and efficient and done right. And, best of all, Dr. Zats will call you the next day to check on how you are. Not the receptionist, not an assistant, the doctor will call you. And he’ll give you his cell phone number if he feels you need it (the first time I went there, he was going away for the weekend and wanted me to be able to contact him if needed).
My dentist recommended Dr. Zats, at first I thought it was just because they are friends, but now I realize it is because he is an excellent oral surgeon with very reasonable rates compared to others where I live on the North Shore of Long Island. I traveled a bit to see him since his rates were lower, but I’m glad I did because his service and demeanor are outstanding.

Frankenstein! This monster had students at Lutheren Medical Dental Center. He was the overseeing instructor/​Doctor. 8 implants put in my mouth facing outward instead of straight down. Not once did he follow up with me. It took me 14 months to find out I had been a lab rat of a bad experiment.
2 years later, I need surgery after surgery just to start to rebuild destroyed gum and bone. He has taken zero responsibility for my suffering and should be barred!
SHAME ON YOU!

I went to this doctor to extract wisdom tooth (emergency visit). Boris Zats and office staff were amazing. Doctor explained in details all my options and extracted tooth with local anesthesia without any pain (I had an option of being sedated during procedure, but I refused it myself). I definitely recommend Dr. Boris Zats!!!

I have had 3 implants from this doctor and can honestly say that they were the easiest and most pleasant of any dentist procedures I have ever had. He is very talented. Even the Novocaine was pain free. I have had so many different issues and surgeries in my mouth — i wish all the dentists were this great.

Dr. Boris Zats is the absolute BEST oral surgeon out there!!! I was having horrific tooth pain and was told that 3 of my wisdom teeth needed to come out. I had been referred to Dr. Zats by my sister a former patient of his and decided to take the plunge and go for it! I called his Forest Hills office to make an appointment and although he was all booked up, they added me to his calendar after I advised that it was an emergency and that I was in severe pain. I went in Saturday morning and was literally sick to my stomach from fear but once I met Dr. Zats I was «A OK»! He is fantastic, and has great bed side manner. He made me feel at ease and his calm demeanor made me feel more relaxed. He put me «under» and the next thing I knew I was in the recovery room.
After having 3 wisdom teeth removed I expected to be sore and out of commission for days. NOPE NOT AT ALL!!! I was actually eating chicken parm the next afternoon, with NO swelling, and very little pain.
Dr. Zats is amazing, and I would definitely recommend! I am having him perform my implant next month.
***He even called to see how I was doing. He is awesome!!!***
