Dr. Steven Alan Kollander, MD

If I could give this place a 0 star review, then I would. I came here to get all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed and one tooth was completely sideways. I had Dr. Kollandar and he was HORRIBLE. He removed 3 of my wisdom teeth fast but when it came to the sideways one he had to drill it out. A few months later, I started feeling pain whenever I ate where the sideways tooth was. When I put my finger back there and checked with a light I saw and felt a piece of my tooth still there. I went back to him and told him that there was still a piece of tooth left and asked him if he could check and he seemed upset and confused that I told him there was a piece of tooth left. He made it seem as if I was overreacting and asked if I was even feeling a lot of pain back there and told me that it was bone and not a piece of tooth. He told me if I was really feeling pain then he would just “DRILL THE BONE DOWN” and immediately started to recline the chair. I told him I needed to think about it and had to… make a quick phone call to my father for his opinion because I knew for a fact that it wasn’t bone. I could tell he got annoyed when I told him that I needed to make a phone call first so he just left the room and told me to let him know when I was ready. When I called him back In the room and told him my dad wanted to just ask him a question he got upset and told me”YOUR NOT A LITTLE GIRL YOU CAN SPEAK FOR YOURSELF. TELL YOUR DAD IF HE WANTS TO SPEAK TO ME HE HAS TO COME IN. ITS JUST BONE, IF YOU WANT ME TO DRILL IT DOWN I CAN” then he walked away. When he came back in the room I asked him if he was sure that it’s just bone and he told me “IVE BEEN DOING THIS JOB FOR YEARS, IT HAPPENS ALL THE TOME, ITS NOT A TOOTH, I REMOVED THE WHOLE TOOTH”. He didn’t even do an X-ray to see if it was tooth or not, he just put his finger in my mouth and felt the area and assumed it was bone. So I went to a different dentist to get a second opinion and it turned out to be a big piece of tooth that he left in. I had to go through all that pain all over again to get it removed. DO NOT GO TO THIS DENTIST, THEY CLEARLY DONT DO THEIR JOB!!!!

he do work that he know he can not complete in office alone. which will leave you searching for another dentist in pain. and most dentist do not like working on another dentist work. shame on him, he do it only for the money with no regards to the patient.

Dr. Kollander is the absolute WORST. I am sorry that I was ever even referred to him. He refused to pull my daughters wisdom tooth (which got approved) b/c they wouldn't approve the other 3 that needed to be pulled, b/c he was billing for more work then what needed to be done. I even offered to pay case and he refused. He does not care about his patients at ALL. Do yourself a favor and don't go here, worst experience ever!

To many exrays done.just to charge insurence what a scam

Taking to many exrayes.i felt,like being used,becouse of my insurence payed for the service.

Went in for a “consultation” and wasn’t even seen due to them already having my x rays from 2016. Literally handed in my referral and the front desk said the authorization decision would be available within two weeks. Waited three weeks only to find out that Dr. Kollander mistakenly sent only one authorization request for one wisdom tooth when my referral clearly stated two wisdom teeth needed to be extracted. Very poor attention to detail or intentional act? Who knows. Not to mention the careless act of not adding notes specifying the conditions of my wisdom teeth (pain, swelling, decay) etc. So he sends in my x rays from 2016 and doesn’t add any notes about the present conditions (obviously my wisdom teeth have become much worse since 2016). When I called the office the receptionist tells me “the doctor said if you want to see him as a private dentist the procedure would be $600.” At this point I’m just done. Thank god I found another oral surgeon to take care of me.

Sorro but at this place ,they take too manny exrays. Just to overcharge you
