About us
Welcome to Atlanta Oral & Facial Surgery
The Doctors of Atlanta Oral & Facial Surgery have been providing specialty surgical services since 1980. Over the years the group has had various names, but the core set of Doctors has stayed together. In 2001, the group consolidated its ownerships and formed one company, Atlanta Oral & Facial Surgery. Our surgeon’s core values of surgical excellence and patient safety were coupled with an ambitious plan to provide those services to as many patients as possible.
In order to realize this goal, two unique clinical strategies were adopted. The first was to participate in as many insurance plans as possible for the communities being served including Medicaid. The second was to remove as many administrative duties from the surgical offices as possible. This strategy allowed AOFS to both become a patient advocate in sorting out the complications of oral surgery insurance, which often involves dental and medical coverage, as well as to empower the surgical offices to focus on patient comfort & safety, and referral doctor communications. With this strategy in place, AOFS consolidated our 7 offices and began a campaign to vastly expand its service to patients throughout Atlanta. By 2012 AOFS had grown to 21 oral surgery offices, one plastic surgery office, and 19 doctors, easily becoming the largest oral surgery group of its kind in the United States.
