I was referred to Dr. Hoschander by my regular dentist, a very proficient and precise man. When it turned out I needed a complex dental implant, one that went beyond his comfort zone, my dentist said there is one person you need to see: Dr. Hoschander. I don't have many dental issues, the need for the implant was due to some poor dental care in the past, so the prospect of oral surgery was daunting and upsetting. But that feeling began to lift walking into Dr. Hoschander's well-run office. The receptionist and assistants were friendly, and when Dr. Hoschander arrived, what puts you most at ease is the clear sense that he cares. He may be the director of oral surgery at New York Downtown Hospital, his phone may be ringing off the hook before and after your appointment, but when he's engaged with your case, he's surprisingly human and looks for the human connection. He's also pioneered some microsurgery techniques that speed up the sometimes lengthy process of dental implantation, so despite the complexity of my case, I was able to have the extraction, bone graft, and implant all done at the same time. The subsequent months have been spent monitoring the progress, and the recovery has been steady and the results look good four month
