Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery of New York

What a great doctor! On time, clear, and to the point but also comforting and understanding. I had my wisdom teeth pulled (well cut out — they were VERY impacted) just a few hour ago and felt no pain and minimal pressure from start to finish whatsoever. I was awake and under local anasthesia and Dr. Jamali talked me through the whole procedure. My numbing agent has just worn off and I still feel great. I highly recommend him to anyone searching.

Dr Jamali and his receptionists (Kathy and Vicky) were super helpful and professional. I think this is one of the offices with not only superb care but easy and transparent billing polices. The administrative staff and dental assistants, coordinate everything with your health insurance companies so you don’t get a shock at your bill. This aspect is something, I don’t find in many clinics.
Dr Jamali himself is excellent, he came recommended by my usual dentist and when I saw the Unilocal reviews prior to making an appointment, I almost couldn’t believe it. After having him remove my widsom teeth, I finally understand why all the reviews were so good. He’s really an excellent doctor that’s not only skilled by very kind. I had some problems with my teeth, called him on a Saturday night and he actually saw me on Sunday at 8am, even though his clinic was technically closed. #faithinhumanityrestored.
If you need kindness and competence in a doctor, he is really the one to visit!
I don’t think I have every met a doctor as dedicated as he is. Truly a gem in New York City!

I had to go to get my wisdom teeth removed and I was nervous. When I walked into the office I felt completely in good hands. Everyone is nice and gave me a walk through of what I would have to go through. Since I was still very nervous I was able to play music so I would be comfortable. Before I knew it the procedure was done.
The office was clean and very welcoming.
I highly recommend this place to anyone who needs a dentist.

Absolutely NO Pain experience I’ve had with Dr. Jamali. I got my wisdom teeth (lower left & upper left) removed today and had no pain. Surgery was done in like 15 – 20 mins without any pain. During the procedure Dr. Jamali took very good care and in between asking me how I’m doing. I have never met such a humble, caring and down to earth doctor like him. I would recommend him to everyone. You can’t go wrong… Everyone has given ⁵⁄₅ stars, and yes he deserves them!
Thank you Dr. Jamali for absolutely no pain experience I had today with you.

Dr. Jamali operated on me back in early 2012… And I still remember what an excellent job he did. I had all four wisdom teeth taken out and I healed up earlier than expected (within three days). Three years later, and I recall that I didn’t feel a thing during the surgery. No complaints here. Nothing but praise for this guy.

Dr. Jamali was amazing and took great care of me. From the start, his receptionist Kathy was stellar. She answered all my paranoid questions with no resentment.
They cut me a nice break since my dental insurance wouldn’t cover squat. The office was super clean and up to date. I had one wisdom tooth partially removed (my tooth was too close to the nerve and could’ve done nerve damage if Dr. Jamali hadn’t caught this). The surgery was literally painless besides the original shot of Novocain. He was very calm and explained to me each step he was taking during the surgery.
When my stitches were really bothering me, Dr. Jamali called me on his cell phone during his vacation to squeeze me in with a dentist to help me take care of it.
He was truly a wonderful oral surgeon and I would recommend him to anyone!

I had 3 of my wisdom teeth removed last Friday by Dr. Jamali. The process went very smoothly, I was aware of what was going on during the surgery but did not feel any pain. Afterwards I felt a little loopy but was in no pain. The next day I was in perfect condition, I could not eat solid foods or chew but that is expected after extracting teeth. I followed his directions and feel great a week later. I am eager for my stitches to dissolve but all in all a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend Dr. Jamali for wisdom teeth extractions!

Wonderful experience ! Based on all the tons of positive feedback, my expectations were set to a really high level, which causes trouble some times, but not with dr. Jamali. He absolutely exceeded all of my highest expectations.
Heard a lot of stories about the inconvenience, pain, suffering, etc of having one or two wisdom teeth extracted and that having all four extracted is a nightmare. But not in my /​his case. It was easy to schedule an appointment, we could quickly agree on payment methods and conditions and the surgery went quick, with literally no pain afterwards.
All professional team, perfect result! Thank you guys!

Just had all 4 of my wisdom teeth extracted this morning. I must say I was so nervous in the beginning but dr. jamali and his assistant Kathy were so sweet and put me at ease. The procedure itself is quite fast I must say. maybe because I was sedated but I honestly felt like it was only 15 mins. There was some numbness afterwards and I was drowsy but other than that pain was minimal. By 3pm most of blood lightened up and I was drinking mostly water and milk. Dr jamali also called to check in which really made me feel at ease. Overall it was a hassle free experience and I’m looking forward to a quite recovery. Definitely recommend dr jamali for any oral surgeries!

I’m really happy I went to Dr Jamali! It’s been about a month since I got all 4 of my wisdom teeth extracted. I really wanted to explain step by step the wonderful experience Dr. Jamali and his wonderful assistant led me through but I don’t want to give away their practices and procedures (nor do I want to make anyone nervous who will be getting any teeth extracted) however, I will say this; Dr Jamali and his assistant were perhaps the most understanding, sensitive, accommodating and kind oral medical professionals I’ve ever been to! Getting all wisdom teeth pulled is no easy task but I’m basically all healed now I can say with confidence that I really am not exaggerating when I praise how great and un-​stressful my procedures were, from the first consultation, through the surgery and into my last check up. They really seemed to be very sincere and truly care (Which is something you don’t find too often in NY businesses these days, even medical ones!) Also the office was super clean and tidy and they always play animal documentaries in the lobby which oddly calms you down a little. I suggest anyone looking into oral surgery to go see Dr Jamali and his assistant, I’m positive you won’t regret it! Thanks Dr Jamali! (and his assistant!)

I had my upper molars extracted with Dr. Jamali. My experience was excellent. Dr. Jamali has excellent communication, is prompt, caring and meticulous with his procedures and follow-​up. His office is professional and very clean with modern, high-​end equipment. I am very pleased and highly recommend!

Just had my wisdom teeth surgery with Dr. Jamali. I had four of them pulled out at one time. The surgery was great. Super quick, no pain at all. I had laughing gas instead of sedation. It turned out to be the best part. It feels like time stopped. Would love to have that again even not for surgery!
The only thing I don’t like is that all the instructions about what I should do and shouldn’t were given after the surgery when I was still super dizzy because of the laughing gas, and with my mouth numbed that can’t talk. I ended up having a lot of cookies, while I am supposed to eat soft food for 10 days…
Just make sure you get all the instructions before surgery. Even after that many cookies, I still doesn’t feel that much pain, while my friend had the same surgery one day before me with another doc is still taking pain killer.

Dr Jamali is great. Had an implant and oral biopsy (one year apart), and both experiences were excellent, especially considering no one wants to see an oral surgeon. Dr Jamali is calm and focused, which helped me feel at ease in his care. He’s also more than willing to answer questions, and trust me, I was a super nervous patient and asked a ton of questions.
His office is also state of the art, from the modern waiting room to the equipment in his exam/​surgery rooms. It’s by far the cleanest dental office I’ve ever been to.
Highly recommend!

My dentist told me I needed to have a rotten rear molar extracted and suggested I go to an oral surgeon, as there might be complications.
Like so many other New Yorkers, I am a senior on a limited income with no dental insurance. I do, however, subscribe to a dental savings plan and decided to go to a surgeon who participated in the plan and was also well reviewed on Unilocal.
After some research, I found that Dr. Jamali at Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery of NY seemed to have the most uniformly favorable reviews at Unilocal of the surgeons participating in my savings plan.
I called his office and asked if he did indeed participate in the Cigna savings plan. No, he didn’t, I was told — but he did take Cigna dental insurance and would give me the prices Cigna insurance pays providers, which are significantly less than the standard practice rates.
That sounded fine. So I went in one Friday morning to get a consultation, X-​ray, and extraction.
The offices at OMSNY are clean and modern — very attractive. I hardly had any wait at all before I was called in for my X-​rays. The practice has one of the new machines that swivel around you while you stand in place — I thought I would be beamed up to a starship at any second.
Then they brought me into the surgery room, the doctor came in and introduced himself, asked a few questions and checked my x-​rays and looked in my mouth. As others here have noted, his «chairside manner» is splendid — he’s a nice guy with a good sense of humor who tells you what he’s doing and asks repeatedly during a procedure how you’re doing.
He asked me if I wanted to stay awake or not, and I said, sure, as long as I don’t feel anything, I don’t really care. So he gave me two shots of novocaine — it felt like two mild pinches — and that was the worst pain of the entire procedure.
Ten minutes later, he came back, asked me how I felt, checked to make sure I was numb, and said it was extraction time.
About one minute later, he said, «You’re all done!» I said (with a piece of gauze newly installed where the tooth had been), «Amazing!»
Recovery has been a breeze as well, No swelling, just a little soreness, mitigated by the Motrin the doctor prescribed.
In fact, the worst part of the entire process — aside from the pinch of the novocaine shots — was not being able to have a drink for 72 hours after the extraction. Apparently alcohol can interfere with the blood clotting required.
I should mention as well that the doctor’s charge, as promised, was VERY reasonable, and OMSNY takes credit cards.
I also liked the other people on his staff, who all seemed bright, friendly, and competent.
In short, based on my experience, I highly recommend Dr. Jamali and OMSNY to anyone in need of oral surgery and will be certain to return the next time I need some work done.

Okay, Dr. jamali I really want to ask you if you have a heart! Before going to Dr. jamali I did research online like everyone else. His reviews were high and perfect, so I choose him because he takes my insurance. I called and made appt to see him and told him I had lots anxiety for seeing dentist. So he said I need sedation, need to put me in sleep. I ask him if it’s bad for me, he said not at all. So I made appt and head to see him. When I go there, he did not even talk to me about anything or ask me about my situation, I just told him I’m going for implant and need extraction. Dr. Jamali as a dr u should have let me know the procedure and the plans for my implant like all other des do. But he didn’t say anything. He just had me pay the sedation because he said insurance may not pay him. That was reasonable I pay him first if he get it he can give it back to me. after that I went in there he just started put me into sleep and start the procedure. After it was done, I was super dizzy and he still made me go out the exam room. Basically want me to leave. His assistant cathy was a very nice lady, she ask me what was I here for and I told her I’m here for implant. She was like he could hv done the bone graph for me at the sametime. But he didn’t. Which I have no clue why. I went home after couple days he called me want me to schedule another appt for bone graph so he can give me sedation again which makes more money. When I went to my dentist, my dentist told me the surgeon should have did it together. So my dentist introduce me another surgeon. When I went to the surgeon he was like why u don’t do the extraction and bone graph together? After I told him I was put into sleep he was like” ok, I know why now. he wants you to go back for another sedation so he can make more money. But no point to cut your gum open again to suffer another time. It’s always been done together the extraction and bone graph” now I’m suffering another surgery! I really want to tell all of you don’t go to his office, he is not a good dr nor a good person! He is only about money, he will do anything to make more money and make us suffer more! I just want to say what goes around comes around, Dr. Jamali, in life you will meet someone just like you and torture u too!

I read reviews and thought it was too good to be true, but I just got 4 wisdom teeth extracted and barely have any pain. It was quick and well priced. Dr. Jamali was very nice, put me at ease and very accommodating after the extraction. I would 100% go back and recommend him!
5 stars for friendliness and warmth of staff, cleanliness, accommodation, pricing and most of all results.

Dr Jamali is wonderful. He did a great job on my jaw surgery.
I consulted with several orthodontists all recommended I get my overbite fixed with surgery. I never had surgery before and was very concerned about possible complications. Knowing someone who was left with permanent nerve damage from this very type of surgery didn’t help quell my nerves either.
I was originally referred to another doctor. After reading reviews I decided that I would go with Dr Jamali instead. When I met Dr Jamali I was very impressed. He is a real mensch. He took the time to explain everything to me. He is very professional and clearly knows his craft.
I had surgery about five days ago. Following surgery, Dr Jamali met with me at the end of the day to make sure I was OK. He even called the next day to make sure I was doing well. This is clearly someone who cares about his patients. Even prior to surgery, I had Dr Jamali’s mobile number and knew that if there is an emergency, I would have no problem reaching him. The nurse at the hospital said «many of the doctors provide their number and you can’t get through to them, this one really answers». So far my recuperation has been very smooth. There have been no complications from my surgery. Most of my swelling is gone, and there is barely any numbness left. The experience has been relatively pain free.
In short, I give him my highest recommendation. He is very conscientious, cares about his patients and is an all around nice guy. You can’t go wrong with Dr Jamali. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

This is the best oral surgery experience I have ever had. I had my wisdom teeth removed in Florida and it was a botched job. When I returned to New York (a week later) I was in excruciating pain. Thankfully, Dr. Jamali agreed to see me. He came in on a Sunday, called an assistant in to support with the work, and took care of me again on Tuesday.
He is a pleasant doctor and makes the experience as comfortable as possible. I have found my New York oral surgeon and I wouldn’t dream of going elsewhere. You must go here for all your needs!

I have to repeat all of the other great reviews– this is the place to go if you have to have oral surgery.
Dr J and his staff are absolutely wonderful! They understand that you are nervous, and they answer all of your questions and make sure you know exactly how to take care of your mouth so you don’t end up with any problems while it heals. They are friendly, funny, and great.
I had a wisdom tooth pulled yesterday, had no pain last night, no pain today. What a relief from all the nightmares you hear and why put if off for so long!

I am so glad my dental insurance referred me to him.
Back in the summer months, end of August-​ish (?) I called to speak with Nanette… (his super sweet and patient receptionist!); she made a consultation appointment for me to see him regarding 3 wisdom teeth extractions.
… long story short — I had the surgery, and all went according to plan when… silly me, (even though, I was advised NOT to!) — drank my iced coffee with a STRAW. Ugh, dog days of summer. Within a day, I experienced excruciating pain in my bottom left jaw; where the tooth was. As it turns out, I had a dry socket. I called and they immediately booked me for the next day so I could see the Doc. for some miracle paste reliever.
I then listened to every vowel that came out of this man’s mouth because I did not want to suffer ;-(
Dr. Jamali is so professional and so polite with an profound amount of knowledge in his profession.
Even though I was in pain for x amount of weeks, he practically held my hand through the whole time. If you need to get this procedure done and you reside in or near the NY area. Do yourself a favor and go see him. Your «un» evolved self will thank you… (hehe)
Oh! Side note ~ make sure to contact him with ANY emergency. He makes certain of this :) Good luck Unilocalers!
