Not sure why the redundancy occurred, or where the communication problem was. I went to my regular dentist Dr Coakley on 5/19 for a consultation about a growth on the inside of my right cheek. The dentist took a picture of it and sent it and a referral to CMOS. When I arrived at the scheduled time I went to the procedure room to be informed this was only a consultation. The Dr looked inside my mouth for 10seconds and said I needed to schedule the procedure. I went to check out and was charged $170.00 and was given an estimate of $990 for the procedure. The procedure was done with no problem. I am not happy with 2 consultations. Thank you for any response you can give me.

Patient Review by Elena O
My 3 yr old developed a thick white rash on the center of her tongue 8 weeks before our appt with the addition of a cluster of blisters that formed on her tongue about a week before our appt. We went through 3 different providers (PCP, Dermatology, and Dentist) before coming to CMOS at the recommendation of our dentist. They filled out the referral form for CMOS and described my daughter's condition, stating that they were referring her for a tongue brush biopsy at CMOS because they don't do biopsies in their office. I called CMOS to make out 7/10 appt the same day I left the dentist, and not only told them what we were being referred for but hand delivered the referral to the office the following week. When we arrived for our appt 5 weeks later the doctor came in, and asked us what we were there for. When I said a tongue brush biopsy he dismissively stated "I don't do those, they're always inconclusive. I do surgical biopsies." After a brief conversation he left the room, my daughter was handed a goody bag, and we were walked out to the reception area with paperwork. Honestly, I'm not sure what the insurance company is being billed for. The referral stated that this appt was for a tongue brush biopsy, so if they don't do them at CMOS I would have expected to receive that information much sooner in advance than as my daughter was sitting in the chair. Furthermore, the doctor didn't do anything but merely talk to us to tell us he doesn't do this procedure, so I'm not sure what he's billing for. To top it off, as we waited for the receptionist to get off the phone one of the medical staff ran out to warn me of a self-inking stamp in my daughter's goody bag that they had given her because they didn't want it "to get all over their couches." I don't understand... I didn't bring ink in for my daughter to play with, it was given to her by staff at CMOS. In the end the receptionist offered my daughter a freeze pop which she appreciated, but I am left with no answers, a medical bill, and am now 5 weeks behind trying to determine what is causing the discomfort on my daughter's tongue. All in all was not a great experience. Would I go back if I needed to for something? Sure, if I had to. But it wasn't a welcoming or friendly experience as I would have hoped.

Patient Review by Kathryn P
I was very nervous to come into the office, but CMOS calmed my nerves. Stephanie was able to hold a hand and give some great advice. Dr. Kobakov is very good at what he does and made the process effortless. A nice stop in the recovery room with Kelly left me with no questions and Melissa made for a stress free checkout with some laughs. An experience I have never had while visiting a doctor’s office! Thank you CMOS for helping me!!

The term oral pathology refers to any disease or infection inside the salivary glands, jaws, and mouth, including small red or white lesions, cysts, oral herpes, and even oral cancer. Not all oral pathologies are severe or cancerous, but it’s important to have any symptoms examined immediately to rule out more serious conditions. If you notice anything unusual that does not go away, we strongly suggest you visit our office.
We offer biopsies and laser treatments for oral pathologies, and your treatment plan will depend on your specific condition. We always take a personalized approach to treatment to ensure your needs are addressed. To hear about the general oral pathology treatment experience and to learn more about our team, please feel free to watch the testimonial videos below.
“I had a saliva gland that was clogged, and they had to fix it because it was causing a bubble in my mouth. I was very nervous because I didn’t know what was going to happen or how bad it was for me. Dr. Baran — he went down to the lower half of my mouth and tried to stitch together the gland that was clogged. My recovery was really good. It was really fast. It healed a lot faster than they thought it was going to. Dr. Baran is really funny, and he’s a really nice guy. He helps with everything. The staff is really nice, too. They definitely made a lot of jokes and helped me laugh a little bit so I would feel better and more calm. If any of my friends or family needed to come to an oral surgeon from Harvard, Ayer, or anywhere else, I would tell them to come to Central Mass Oral Surgery.”
