Miracle Worker My son was born with a small airway that caused him to have severe obstructive sleep apnea since birth. As he grew, my son’s sleep apnea worsened and other treatments such as having his adenoids and tonsils removed and having his epiglottis stitched up failed to improve his condition. We were referred to Dr. Neugarten by our ENT and were impressed from our first meeting with him and his team. My family spent several hours in consultation with Dr. Neugarten over multiple meetings and he made us feel comfortable. He took a LOT of time to answer each of our questions and to address our concerns. He won’t necessarily tell you what you want to hear — he will tell you the truth and prepare you for what the procedure will entail, including recovery. Much more importantly, he made our son feel comfortable. Dr. Neugarten performed a surgery called mandibular distraction surgery that involves pulling the lower jaw forward in order to increase the diameter of the airway to fix the sleep apnea. Just thirteen days following surgery, a sleep study showed that our son’s sleep apnea was 100% gone! The difference in lifestyle for our son is incredible — he has much more energy and is much less grouchy during the day. We have had numerous follow-ups with Dr. Neugarten and during each session he has made our son feel comfortable and at ease. If you are considering a serious dental/medical surgery, particularly if it is for a child, you MUST consider asking Dr. Neugarten to help you. The quality of life difference for our son has been immeasurable. Our family will always be grateful to Dr. Neugarten for what he did for us.

I was referred to Dr. Neugarten by my orthodontist Dr. Lemchen. I was 33 when I first visited NYCOMS, I arrived having some previous dental and orthodontic work done in Seattle that I was VERY unhappy with. I had been wearing braces for three years, I was very uncomfortable and my bite was completely off. I had a complicated case. Dr. Neugarten recommended orthognathic surgery to correct my malocclusion. I was extremely hesitant to undergo this surgery, so hesitant, I pushed against doing the surgery for an entire year. One year later, I gathered the courage and I’m now six months post-op from double orthognathic surgery. I couldn’t be happier, probably the best decision I’ve made in my life. My surgery went flawlessly and my bite meets up perfectly now. If you need to have this surgery you couldn’t be in better hands. Dr. Neugarten and his assistant Lisa were amazing, answering my questions at any time of day throughout my recovery. Very helpful and very kind. If you need to have this surgery, I highly recommend you make an appointment at NYCOMS. I have been through the gamut of meeting with and sometimes working with bad dentists, orthodontists and surgeons. Save yourself time and agony by making an appointment with Dr. Neugarten at NYCOMS. I couldn’t be happier! This review is coming from someone who never imagined doing this surgery and has a huge fear of even the most minor dental procedures. If I can do it, you can do it!
