Dr. Christopher Joseph Cuomo

My 18yo had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted by Dr. Cuomo. Only 1 parent was allowed to go back to him after the surgery. My son asked for his father because he was concerned that I have serious back issues and that Dad would be better for leaning on when leaving. I asked if I could also go back and was told, “No. Only 1 parent is allowed and your son asked for Dad.” Prior to leaving, while obtaining the insurance paperwork, I shared my extreme displeasure with their policy, sharing that I had never met the doctor and felt it was wrong to not allow me in back to ask questions. I was told that everything had been explained to Dad, and that Dad was given a paper with all instructions, and that I could call later if I have any questions. My older child had all 4 wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Cuomo’s father, Dr. Anthony Cuomo, who had the absolute BEST bedside manner, and allowed both my husband and I to go back to her after her surgery, and answered all my questions. We left with a positive… feeling and recommended him to everyone who needed their wisdom teeth removed. One of the ladies at the desk went back to Dr. Cuomo, to let him know that I was displeased with their policy, and my not being given the opportunity to meet him and ask him questions. The response I was given was, “He said that’s fine, and that your son is an adult (still in high school, where I have to call in to have any absence excused or to allow him to leave early) and made his choice about which parent he wanted:” When we got in the car, I asked my son about the surgery. He said he woke up several times during the surgery and said, “Ow,” and asked for more anesthesia, and Dr. Cuomo told him to stop talking. This is the absolute WORST bedside manner we’ve ever experienced when one of our children have had surgery. It was unnecessary to exclude me from going to the back after the surgery, and my son’s own experience is abhorrent! Dr. Cuomo’s insensitive response to my concern about having never met him, and my wanting to ask questions, was incredulous! We left with a sour taste in our mouths. I do not recommend Dr. Cuomo, and no one in my family will ever use him again in the future. A little kindness goes a long way, Dr. Cuomo!

Gives horrific needle. Didn't wait until I was numb. Pried out tooth while I still felt it and was not concerned when he saw me wince in pain. He kept going. Horrid experience. He's rude and arrogant and unfriendly. Gives no instructions for aftercare. Walks out without saying goodbye. Honestly the worst experience of any dental office in my life. Exam room reeked like floor cleaner and there was a bucket on the floor with what I assume was pine sol. You couldn't pay me enough to go through that ever again. The pain was excruciating and he didn't care. He seems hateful of his patients. Trust me. Don't go there. Find anyone else but this guy.

Came in for an implant. After X-ray said he had concerns about the implant he had done several years ago which would be next to the new one. Had to discuss it further. Never heard from him again.

I was so overcharged for the procedure I had done by Dr. Cuomo that I will not be back. Highway robbery. The front desk staff is so rude, condescending and unprofessional that it amazes me that anyone deals with them.

Very good experience.

Dr. Cuomo and his staff treated me with great care and everyone had wonderful bedside manner.

I had my wisdom teeth extracted by Dr. Chris Cuomo and had an extremely positive experience with not only the doctor but the office as well. Typically I dread the dentist but Dr. Chris’ bedside manner made me feel at ease. He advised me on what was best for my situation and informed me of all of my options. Even after my surgery, I was nervous that there was something wrong with the healing process and the office took me in that night to assure me that everything was healing well. If I ever have to have my other two wisdom teeth removed I would without a question go back to Dr. Chris!

I cannot speak to Dr. Cuomo's competence in oral surgery, but I can speak to his bedside manner and compassion as a medical provider, both of which were exceedingly poor. He did not reassure me or acknowledge the pain I was in whatsoever, and was at times flat out rude. I do not appreciate being treated as if I am unintelligent or that I am exaggerating my pain. He gave no clear recommendations for how I should proceed, and showed far more apathy than empathy.

I was sent over to Dr. Cuomo by my dentist. I was an "emergency" visit but wait an hour and a half in his waiting room. I was charged for x-rays that the tech told me I would not be charged for since she took the picture wrong. Then I was charged for a full tooth removal despite the fact that he removed a tiny piece of the root only. His office staff was beyond comprehension in their condescending tone and manner. I was told "This office does not have gauze or ice" as I sat in the wiating froom bleeding for an hour and a half during the wait for my emergency appointment.

Overcharges for procedures. I could not belive the charge for what he did. His secretarial staff is the rudest and most unprofessional staff I have ever encountered in a medical office. The techs were helpful but I would recommend finding a mosre cost efficient way to go unless you have money to burn.
