Roman Melnyk, DDS, MS - New Hartford (NY)

5 /5 Mike Walsh: What an incredible experience! I had lanap surgery with Dr Melnyk about a year ago. I cant say enough about how great the experience was! Dr Melnyk took the time to discuss my options in a very comprehensive manner. He explained my situation in terms I could understand and make an informed decision. The lanap procedure was virtually pain-free, and very successful. I dont think its an overstatement to say that Dr Melnyk saved my teeth! I was on the fence about whether or not to go ahead with the lanap surgery, but truth be told, it was one of the best decisions Ive ever made!

5 /5 Marlene Biernat: I truly can not overstate how wonderful my experience with Dr. Melnyk and his entire staff has been and continues to be. With apprehension and fear I made the first call for an appointment. When I arrived I was met with compassion and kindness from everyone. The professionalism and total care from the initial consultation to today is second to none! My overall mouth health has improved 100% because of the time spent on education of proper dental care and practices. Dr. Melnyk makes going to a Periodontist an easy choice and appointment to make! Very grateful that we have such a capable and caring practice here locally.

2 /5 Nick Sledziona: I had somewhat of an odd experience going here. I sought treatment because I ended up with a small gap in my gumline after completing Invisalign treatment. My regular periodontist in Ithaca said that I needed to find a periodontist that has been trained in the "pinhole" method of gum repair. I looked around and I found several, and I chose to go and see Dr Melnyk because the office staff seemed friendly when I called to ask about their services. I went in for a consultation on August 31st 2023 and Dr Melnyk gave me a treatment outline that called for a surgical procedure following several months of brushing/flossing treatment. We both agreed that I would adhere to a new regimen of brushing/flossing in-order to improve my gum health in the lead-up to surgery. If, after the 6 months of new brushing/flossing regimen, my gumline had not improved in the treatment area, then we would proceed with surgery. I followed the treatment plan exactly as outlined and I came-in for my follow-up check-ups on October 26th and again on November 30th. My gum health had improved significantly, however, when I came in for my appointment on November 30th, Dr Melnyk said that he would not be performing surgery on my gumline. He said "there is no current surgical treatment available" that would fix my gumline. I reminded him that his office provided me with a quote 3 months prior that details a treatment outline which includes a surgical procedure for $1,500. He again reiterated that surgery was not possible for my condition, with no explanation of the $1,500 quote I had been provided. I am completely fine with and comfortable with forgoing surgery on my gumline because its never really been a huge concern for me and my gums have improved over the past 3 months. However, I am just confused and concerned as to why I was given a treatment plan which includes surgery three months prior. What changed in that three-month time span which caused the surgery to no-longer be an option? Sadly, I made three visits and it cost me a total of $325, and I did not end up with the result that I was looking for. I have since made an appointment with a different periodontist located in Rochester.

5 /5 Jeffrey White: I have been seeing Dr. Melnyk for over 25 years. I havent had any oral surgery for about the same time of over 25 years. The new LANAP & and implants are much cheaper and require less recovery time.

5 /5 Susan Galbraith: I have received great help and support from the tag team of Dr Melnyk and Dr Ioset in Hamilton (Ioset is my dentist). I particularly appreciate that Dr Melnyk’s after-hours phone message provides emergency contact numbers for him in case you *really* need him.
