Pottstown Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Associates

Oral and maxillofacial surgery requires additional years of hospital-based surgical and anesthesia training after graduation from dental school. As oral and maxillofacial surgeons, Dr. Lignelli, Dr. Smith, Dr. Lignelli, II, and Dr. Ward manage a wide variety of problems relating to the mouth, teeth and facial regions. Dr. Lignelli, Dr. Smith, Dr. Lignelli, II, and Dr. Ward practice a full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery with expertise ranging from dental implant surgery and wisdom tooth removal to corrective jaw and temporomandibular joint surgery. This also includes techniques designed to rebuild bone structure with minimal surgical intervention and optimal patient comfort. We can also diagnose and treat facial pain, facial injuries, fractures, and various types of head and neck pathology.

Our staff is trained in assisting with Intravenous (IV) sedation or outpatient general anesthesia in our state-of-the-art office setting. Patients are continuously monitored during and after surgery.

The surgical staff at Pottstown Oral Surgery are experienced, certified oral and maxillofacial surgical assistants, who assist in administration of IV sedation and surgery. We also have a trained registered nurse (RN) to assist in the delivery of all general anesthetics. All staff are informed administrative personnel, well-versed in health and insurance policies, and are CPR certified.

This is only regarding the front desk woman working there:

I have been there before for dental work and my fiance was seen by a doctor there for sutures at the Pottstown ER. Every time I have gone in for follow-ups, the woman at the front desk was not pleasant at all. You can tell by looking at her face and how she looked at and handled patients checking in that she could care less about you or what you had to say. I called to ask a question regarding a bill and she cut me off mid-sentence saying to "hold" and put me on hold for 20 minutes without coming back. I hung up. I work in the medical field and have worked front desk for many years and this woman should clearly not be in that position!

I was bitten by a dog (facial - split lip) and went to the Emergency Room at Pottstown Memorial Medical Center. The ER doctor told me he called in a plastic surgeon to stitch up my lip since it was split and he didn't want to attempt to put it back together and have it crooked, which I appreciated. However, I was not given a choice of plastic surgeons and while Dr. Lignelli did a fantastic job and 6 months later you can barely see the scar (by the way, I have no complaints whatsoever with Dr. Lignelli - he is terrific and couldn't have been nicer), it turns out this office does not accept the major insurance carriers (Aetna specifically). I would think if you had a contract with PMMC as an on-call doctor, your office would accept the same insurance as the hospital, but, not so. I received a bill 2 months later from this office for close to $2,000 and was told this was the amount my insurance DID NOT pay and that they were not Aetna providers. Why wasn't I told this when I went to their office a week after the accident to have the stitches removed? They took my insurance card, but never said a word. My insurance paid what they would pay an in-network provider. My sister had a similar issue 6 years ago when her son was bitten in the face by a dog. She threatened to go to the local newspapers and they wrote off the excess charges. JUST BE AWARE THAT THIS OFFICE DOES NOT ACCEPT ALL THE MAJOR INSURANCE CARRIERS AND YOU WILL BE EXPECTED TO PAY THE BALANCE. I asked my insurance company to review the claim and they agreed to pay an additional $1000.
