Koslin & Kahn Oral & Facial Surgery Reviews
Great experience all around from the front office to the surgeon & his staff. Pleasant conversation, professional, kind & funny even while extracting my tooth. Highly recommend Dr. Bannon & his staff.
EVERYONE in the office is SO NICE, friendly and caring. They made sure I was comfortable. Dr. Kahn did a surgery for me 15 years ago so I already knew he was the BEST! And he still is! And he’s so personable and really just wanted to help me. I was at the Hoover office and it was such a great experience! Good job, ALL of them!!!
Dr. Bannon is an excellent doctor and would highly recommend. He is attentive and caring and takes time to answer all your questions. He did an excellent job on my wisdom tooth extraction.
I was referred to Koslin & Kahn to get all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled and of course, I was scared. I had Dr. Bannon and the experience was out of this world. I didn't hurt after my appointment even days later I still wasn’t in any pain. All the nurses were very kind and made sure I was in and out. My appointment was at 10:00am I left at 10:40. The procedure was very fast. I was fully sedated and even after my appointment, I was able to walk normally and go to stores just fine. The swelling went down in like a couple of hours. My experience was so great and I believe the doctors played a tremendous role in my recovery!
Dr. Koslin and staff are great! Took care of both my boys. I recommend them without any reservations.
