Experiencia fantástica: My son just had all four wisdom teeth removed. They are very professional and made sure that he was all set and I didn't have any questions. This is our family's third time here. My son and her husband had their wisdom teeth out and everything went well!!

Experiencia fantástica: My doctor is Dr. Carkner and all I have to say is that he is the sweetest, nicest doctor that I have ever encountered. He’s extremely informative, answers all questions with complete explanations, and is an excellent surgeon. I highly recommend him and this office. The personnel in the front, are very kind, accommodating, and a joy to be greeted by. I can only say I wish all offices were as friendly as the team at this doctors office.

Experiencia fantástica: They are incredible. From my first interaction with Nicole, through the nurse and Dr. Carkner, to the checkout, they were patient, kind, answered a variety of questions from the procedure itself, options, to the cost, timing etc. I never felt rushed or embarrassed to ask any questions. There was laughter and being comfortable, which aren’t typically words used when going to a dentist office. What a wonderful team!

Experiencia fantástica: Great staff, all friendly, clear-spoken, knowledgeable professionals. Easy location and very comfortable with upcoming procedure!

Experiencia fantástica: I saw Dr Kelling for an evaluation on my wisdom tooth. He and the staff make you feel relaxed and are very friendly. Dr Kelling explained everything to me. He will be doing my tooth in the future. I would recommend Dr Kelling and his staff to all my friends.

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful place very pleasant people that work there. Had a tooth extracted today and it was painless and quick to come out. DR. Condry is the best in the business and great at what he does. Highly recommend northeast specialist.

They explain things in a way an everyday person could understand . Dr Carkner was great , he made sure you were comfortable and would not feel a thing.

Experiencia fantástica: The office staff was professional, personable and helpful. Dr Kelling was the absolute best........caring and gentle, and barely felt the injection of the localized anesthetic and the extraction was pretty painless as well. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services.

Experiencia fantástica: As always here, comfortable, competent, caring, & complete in all ways! Thanks for being that place!

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing staff from the folks who greet you at the front desk to the surgical staff who provide excellent, professional care whatever your oral needs are.

Experiencia fantástica: I had a tooth extraction today, staff was very helpful. Explained step by step and made sure I was OK through my procedure. They were very sympathetic with my anxiety. Very satisfied with the work they did.

Experiencia fantástica: I had an excellent experience getting my dental work done and Dr Kelling and his staff are great !

Experiencia fantástica: Outstanding patient quality of care and their administrative staff is excellent! Highly recommend

Experiencia fantástica: Experience was pain free. The doctor keeps you informed the whole time about what he is doing. Great and friendly staff also

Experiencia fantástica: 10/10 experience got recommended to come here to get all 4 wisdom teeth removed, they are very welcoming with a friendly and helpful environment thank you for all your help! (Especially that a young teen had to pay out of pocket)

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was very professional, and friendly. I have been a patient several times. I have always had a good experience. I would highly recommend this practice for your surgical needs.

Experiencia fantástica: They were careful to explain everything that was going to happen to me. They were caring, proficient, and pleasant. Couldn’t have been better!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Kelling is professional, compassionate and caring. I had an extremely painful cracked molar with deep and curved roots that needed to be pulled. During the procedure Dr. Kelling went out of his way to make sure that I was never in pain. Having issues with your teeth is never something anyone wants to go through, but if you do Northeast Surgical Specialists is the ONLY place you should go. Dr. Kelling and the staff were simply outstanding!

Experiencia fantástica: I couldn’t be more impressed with the entire team and Dr Kelling. I needed both extractions and dental implants, but Dr. Kelling and the team made the whole process smooth and comfortable from start to finish. What stood out the most was their ability to do both the extractions and implants on the same day—something I didn’t think would be possible! The procedure itself took time but, and the level of care and attention the team gave me during the process was exceptional. They made sure I was comfortable from start to finish. They followed up to make sure i wasnt in much pain after novacaine wore off. I highly recommend Dr Kelling and Northeast Surgical

Experiencia fantástica: The administration team is very professional and helpful. Medical team was knowledgeable and supportive. I would strongly recommend their services.

Experiencia fantástica: My general dentist referred me and the next day Dr. Carkner made sure my tooth was painlessly taken out. The staff was friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: I would highly recommend Dr Carkner. He was careful and skilled

Experiencia fantástica: Good explanation of the procedure during the consultation. The procedure went well and there was minimal pain.

Experiencia fantástica: Very friendly and understanding. Gave us all our options.

Experiencia positiva: I have dealt with this practice in Saratoga several,times. The result was always great, attentive staff, everything explained well, great care.,this visit was my husband and in queensbury. We waited almost an hour due to,office staff missing registering us, understaffed and we were not happy at all.just no,excuse. Once we were seen, all,was fine, but the reception area needs help for sure.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Brian and his staff were marvelous. Their care and concern let me be at ease and I would recommend them in a second. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Experiencia fantástica: I want to thank all the staff that took exceptional care of me on my visit. I was taken well care of with the utmost attentive staff. I would highly recommend the Northeast Surgical Specialist too anyone that needs oral care.

Experiencia fantástica: Really kind and thoughtful. Made my wisdom teeth removal very easy. 100% would recommend them for anyone!

Experiencia fantástica: I have not personally been a patient, but have handled 2 family members extractions through this office. They are friendly, professional, and efficient. Both my son and father healed fast from their surgeries and my father had many teeth pulled for dentures, and not a single problem to speak of! The office waiting area and operating rooms are very clean, parking is very convenient, and I will absolutely go here myself when I inevitably will need my own extractions. This office is a breath of fresh of air. Kudos to the staff and surgeons. You have my referral :)

Experiencia negativa: Very disappointed in the care received today from Dr. Clarkner and the response calling the after hours on call line. I called very shortly after the appointment complaining of sharp pain in my jaw muscle radiating up to my ear. Was told the local anesthesia they used would last only 1-2 hours, was probably starting to wear off. Face still totally numb. Advised to go home, take advil. Did that, took a 5 hour nap, and woke up with the same pain. Pain, ok fine, but my face didn’t have complete sensation back so now I was nervous. Called the on call number, was told to call back if I didn’t hear anything in 15 minutes. 3 call backs/45 minutes later I received a call from Dr Clarkner. I explained and he mentioned that this was not a normal place to have pain. I asked what to do. Got a “yeah… not really sure. Give it time.” I let him know how unhelpful that was, and told him I will follow up with my primary care provider. But right now, I am extremely disappointed. I am in pain and scared the feeling will not return to my face. This was completely unacceptable clinically as well as on a personal and “care” level. After a pleasant office visit/experience, I am pretty shocked by Dr Clarkner’s flippant attitude overall. If the feeling isn’t back in my face in the morning I will proceed to the emergency room.

Experiencia fantástica: Extraction and post install for implant - professional compassionate care from front desk, technicians and doctors- highly recommend this practice.

Experiencia positiva: Everyone was very nice. I was a little bit surprised at the price they quoted me for 2 extractions. They said my Medicare was out of network so I have to pay out of pocket. I hope to be able to review better my next appointment.

Experiencia fantástica: They did such a great job making me feel comfortable and at ease! Two wisdom teeth pulled I was out in literally an hour! I highly recommend northeast surgical specialist!

Experiencia fantástica: I had a dental plant procedure that went great. The whole staff at northeast surgical specialists are phenomenal. Everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable.It made my experience go much better than I thought.

Experiencia fantástica: I'm good with words. Use them for a living. I know well there are times when fewer words land harder. This is my two-word review. This should be all you need: They care.

Experiencia fantástica: I went in dreading the first appt because of all the horror stories of having wisdom teeth pulled, however, the staff was wonderful and Dr Kelling took the time to explain what my wisdom tooth extraction would look like, why I needed it and answered all my questions! From the initial consultation to the appt for extraction all the way to paying the bill this was an A+ experience.

Experiencia fantástica: Highly recommend. I went for a consultation with Dr. Kelling about extractions & posts put in for a denture. He explained everything great & gave me an accurate estimate range & different ways to decrease the cost. He was so informative & I felt sure about what I decided to do. I decided to just use local numbing instead of sedation so I could drive myself & go to work that day. They had me use ibuprofen before the local would wear off which I did the day of the surgery but that was it. They even called me the day of surgery to see how I was doing & stressed to me if I had any problems or questions to call anytime. They quoted me the amount from my decision which I was very happy with but since it wasn’t as much as a problem it was like $200 cheaper. Throughout the whole procedure he explained what he was doing. I can’t say enough good about him & the entire staff!!!

Experiencia fantástica: At Northeast Surgical Specialists you feel like family. Everyone is super friendly, attentive, professional, compassionate, and upbeat. This team of providers work seamlessly together to provide information important to their patient, a top-notch skill set, and give welcomed reassurance throughout the care process. Thank you, Dr. Kelling for making the tooth extraction and bone grafting a breeze. Looking forward to taking the next steps toward an implant with you. Appreciate you all! Karen AndersonMcCarthy

Experiencia fantástica: I have a special needs daughter and everyone we dealt with couldn’t have been kinder or more patient with us.

Experiencia fantástica: Every staff person in the facility is welcoming, caring, attentive and informative to any needs we might have had. They appear to make each patient feel that his/her interests, needs, issues are important and relevant. They show concern for their patients well-being and comfort. The procedures are all clearly spelled out throughout the process. So impressive!

Experiencia fantástica: On August 21,2025, I had a tooth extracted. The tooth had been in my mouth for a very long time and it was in no hurry to leave !! Dr. Brian Carkner and his team did an excellent job in removing my stubborn tooth. Many thanks to them !!

Experiencia fantástica: Highly recommend Dr Kelling and his staff! Still amazed at how quick, easy and pain-free my implant procedures have been! Entire staff has been competent, kind and caring. Dr Kelling is awesome!

Experiencia fantástica: OUTSTANDING!!!! IN EVERY RESPECT! NO NEED FOR ANY MEDICATION AFTER SURGERY MEDICATION WORE OFF! ALSO, ONE OF THE EASIEST CHECKS IVE EVER WRITTEN TO A DOCTORS OFFICE! 1000% SATISFIED!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful staff. Painless tooth extraction. 6 hours later no pain. Enjoyed the informative video on the lobby monitor as to what to expect.

Experiencia fantástica: My husband suffered a stroke and has global aphasia. He is non verbal and in a wheelchair. He needed a tooth extracted. Dr. Kelling, the hygienists, and office staff were kind and professional. They put me and him at ease and got the job done. I would recommend this office to everyone! Mary Finan

Experiencia fantástica: I have been with this office for several years. Dr. Kelliing is top rate, explains everything in terms I understand. His staff and office staff are kind and professional. Everyone is caring and professional and have a sense of humor that eases those who are a little anxious. The best of the best.

Experiencia fantástica: This office is fantastic! Very modern, friendly and helpful staff and one very skilled crew. I fear anything related to dentistry...lol but this crew made me feel right at home. While having to get dental surgery stinks, this is the place to get it done.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Carkner and his staff are amazing! My implant surgery was fast, pain-free and actually enjoyable.

Experiencia fantástica: I have to admit I was very nervous about having an implant. Dr Carkner explained everything that was going to happen during my first visit and the actual day of surgery went smoothly. I had anesthesia and felt no pain at all. The nurse assisting was very friendly and definitely helped to ease any anxiety that I had initially.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Kelling and all his staff are all exceptionally good at their jobs. Surgery is painless and the results are excellent.

Experiencia fantástica: It is so nice to go to a practice where everyone is professional and seems to genuinely care. I saw Dr Condry for implants. He answered all my questions and made me very comfortable. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend Northeast Surgical Specialists!

Experiencia fantástica: The staff was excellent, the doctor very thorough and I am confident in getting the surgery done.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Kelling is kind, caring and educated. Highly recommend this business. Staff is super friendly and efficient. Business is exceptionally clean.

Experiencia positiva: Due to circumstances beyond his control Dr Kelling is unable to respond to my previous review. In order to be fair and just I want to retract everything I said in my previous assessment of him and will delete that post as soon as I can figure out how to do it. My previous appointments with Dr. Kelling were very professional and I have no axe to grind with him. Instead I will say that he has always done a good job. I did have a powerful negative reaction when the anesthesia he administered wore off prior to the end of the procedure. And yes I became upset when I realized he wasn’t going to inject any more sedation. However, my physical condition presents a complicated situation in that I have a laryngectomy and breath through my neck. I wasn’t considering that fact when I wrote the first review. Therefore I want to retract my comments in the prior written review and extend an apology in its place. Roger Rath

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was very helpful and attentive, The procedure was professionally and painlessly done. Recovery has so far been painless and uneventful.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent- had Dr Karkner who extracted tooth in 5 mins without pain. Very detailed and did a great job.

Experiencia fantástica: Needed several teeth extracted and had implants put in. Dr. Kelling explained everything before proceeding. Procedure went very well, limited pain and excellent follow up. Staff at both locations were very friendly and informative. I have recommended him to several others and they’re following up with him as well. I’ve been in the healthcare business for 39 years and everyone followed all protocols for my safety and well being. Highly recommend Dr. Kelling…

Experiencia fantástica: I recently visited Dr. Kelling for a consult, and was so impressed with his knowledge and understanding of my situation. I immediately scheduled to have two wisdom teeth removed, something I have put off for 20+ years. The front desk staff were very welcoming and answered all of my questions. The entire procedure took less than fifteen minutes to complete. Dr. Kelling explained everything to me and as he performed each step of the removal. I experienced zero discomfort thru the entire process. He then explained how to take care of the areas that the teeth were removed to avoid complications. This experience was one of the best surgical procedures I have ever had done. l have had routine dental cleanings that left my mouth sore for days after! Two wisdom teeth removed, I recovered quickly, never experiencing any discomfort or pain. Dr. Kelling and his team are the best around, I strongly recommend that you visit Northeast Surgical Specialist for the best quality experience. Update: Had the pleasure of visiting the office for another extraction 5/16/25, this one was a bit more involved and required some extra effort, also needed bone grafting. 24hrs after the procedure I am completely comfortable and have no discomfort. Truly amazing that this is possible, I strongly recommend that you have any procedures needed done here. I will be returning for an implant in 4 months. Dr. Kelling’s staff was amazing and really went above and beyond to make sure that I knew what was happening and kept me comfortable. Thank you Dr. Kelling and Staff !!

Experiencia fantástica: What a wonderful experience. I have extreme anxiety with dentists they used to have to hold me down as a kid to clean my teeth… so I put off getting my wisdom teeth our for 15 years.. They explained the extraction procedure for my wisdom teeth thoroughly and were so professional throughout the entire process. And explained how easy it was and how long it would take. If I ever need work done in the future I will be back. One of the cleanest buildings as well. Dr. K and his team were amazing. Thanks again!

Experiencia fantástica: I appreciated that Dr. Kelling fully explained the situation with my tooth, what procedures he recommends, what alternatives would not be beneficial, and the results of his recommendations. Also, everyone in the practice that I came in contact with were thorough, kind and friendly to deal with.

Very knowledgeable and professional and competent and very pleasant and accommodating. He similarly did highly successful dental extractions on my two grandsons.

Experiencia fantástica: I had some major dental work done and I was PETRIFIED!! Everything went smoothly and I was treated with compassion and kindness! Dr. Kelling explained everything to me and slowed me down!! I'm VERY GRATEFUL HE DID!! He was correct in telling me I would make it through fine with Tylenol and Advil!! Of course there was pain but it was bearable!! I'm healing up really well and can't wait for the next step!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Angela

Experiencia fantástica: Northeast Surgical Specialists are top notch- I’m going back for the third time. The entire group is professional, courteous, efficient and friendly too. Dr. Kelling answers all your questions, addresses your concerns and makes your experience as “painless” as possible. I would without hesitation recommend this group.

Experiencia fantástica: I've always had a fear of the Dentist, so my husband took our daughter for her consult. From the phone call to schedule, the consult, front desk, the assistants, nurse and surgeon, we can honestly say that we had a wonderful experience for our daughter. The staff are kind, gentle and patient. They have an awesome team! The type of care is top notch! The quality of care like no other and the office experience is to look forward to! Thank you all!

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly, listened to all our concerns and the surgery was quick and efficient. Excellent experience for an 80 year old man in a wheel chair!

Experiencia fantástica: BEST experience I’ve ever had with a healthcare professional All the office personnel I met were friendly, sincere and just nice. I met with Dr Carkner to discuss a molar extraction and implant. He explained the procedure clearly and answered every question— I never felt rushed. Prior to the appointment another tooth became very painful, called them and they were able to look at this tooth the same day of the extraction. Unfortunately, that tooth also needed to be extracted BUT fortunately Dr Carkner and his team were able to take out both teeth. I highly recommend this practice!

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was extremely kind and helpful at this office. They answered all of our questions and gave my daughter great care. I highly recommend this office and it's staff!

Experiencia fantástica: A wonderful experience from start to finish. From the receptionist who scheduled my appointment and answered my initial questions pertaining to my insurance coverage, to the kind and caring assistants to Dr Condry who is just an excellent doctor and a very kind man. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the practice- top notch care! Thank you.

Experiencia fantástica: I’m most impressed by Dr Brian and the Staff. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Felt at ease and little to no pain. I’m glad they accommodated me

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was extremely nice and explained everything very clearly. I felt very comfortable and at ease. I would highly recommend them. Great experience!

Experiencia fantástica: Went to my dentist for what I thought was a lost filling- turns out the tooth was cracked. Dr Carkner's office was called and I was taken in immediately. Tooth was extracted and implant installed within 2 hours. The entire staff was kind and compassionate. Recommend highly!

Experiencia fantástica: My son had 5 teeth removed. The staff were welcoming and assuring. I love how Dr. BRIAN R. CARKNER took the time to speak to my 14 year old son not only at the initial consultation but today the day of surgery and listened and answered all his questions and concerns allowing my son to trust in him and the procedure. Amazing all around.

Experiencia fantástica: I would most definitely recommend Northeast Surgical at the queensbury office. Very professional and friendly. I had a tooth extraction with an implant were done quickly and with minimal discomfort. Dr. Carkner and his staff did an excellent job of putting me at ease. I felt comfortable and was treated with kindness.

Experiencia fantástica: I had a most pain free, pleasant , positive experience regarding a tooth extraction performed by Dr. Kelling. Can you believe I am using the adjective “pleasant” to describe a tooth extraction? Well, the entire experience was remarkable. Dr. Kelling’s assistants, Karlee and Crystal, were polite, reassuring, warm and smiley. Dr. Kelling was wonderful; calm , precise and clear in his description of the procedure. It was over and done with and I had no idea he was finished …it was that seamless! I highly recommend Dr. Kelling, his assistants and the entire office at Northeast Surgical Specialists, Queensbury, should one ever need an oral surgeon! 5 Stars!! Debbie C.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Keller handled a tooth extraction which required a bone graft and implant. He was so professional and he and his staff took such great care of me. I am healed and back to normal. So happy with my treatment!

Experiencia fantástica: Caitlin, Erin, and Abby made me feel so safe and comfortable for my wisdom tooth extraction with Dr. Kelling! They are the best of the best ♥️

Experiencia fantástica: The staff was so easy to deal with. All aspects of the surgery were explained and easy to understand. This may sound crazy, but I'm looking forward to my surgery!

Experiencia fantástica: Broke my implant on Sunday night, called Monday morning, sitting in Dr Kelling’s chair at 10 AM Tuesday morning. The broken screw is removed and referred to my regular dentist to install a new screw and attach crown. It doesn’t get any better than that, Dr Kelling and his staff are enjoyable to work with. 5 Stars !

Experiencia fantástica: Very friendly and professional staff. Doctors were very thorough and kind. Took much of my anxiety out of the process.

Experiencia fantástica: Very nice staff. The dentist was great made me feel very comfortable. Took his time and explained everything and the nurses were great!

Experiencia fantástica: Had to have a wisdom tooth removed. Very nervous from a bad experience as a youth and the staff and doctor immediately put me at ease. Extremely professional and answered all my questions. Explained everything along the procedure and it took less than a minute to extract the tooth. No pain, very little blood. The after care fully explained and was reassured if I had any issues I was to call. Six hours later I have very little discomfort. Staff called in pain meds just in case. Honestly they were with me every step of the way. I highly recommend this practice.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing experience! They were helpful and comforting! Exceptional!!! I highly recommend them. I've been to many dentists in my time and have never had such great care as I did today! They explained to me what was wrong and removed my awful tooth. And even made me laugh before I left!

Experiencia fantástica: Always terrified of dental procedures- these doctors are amazing,. Not going to say I love having dental work but I’d go back to Northeast Specialist again , only now without the anxiety.

Experiencia fantástica: Omgosh, a great team of professionals! Would recommend to anyone, especially the timid patient with dental anxiety. Office staff is wonderful and accommodating.

Experiencia fantástica: Thank you so much for providing my wife an exceptional experience for her tooth extraction. She has a medical condition which can present an arbitrary disposition to any medical treatments. Dr Killing and his staff immediately put her at ease ( me too ) with their caring and professional demeanor . The tooth was removed , my wife very happy ( still doesn't know why ) and she was enjoying lunch an hour later. Northeast Surgical Specialists are a National Treasure of the Northeast in my opinion. THANK YOU AGAIN.. Dave O'C.

Experiencia fantástica: Very friendly and professional staff. They took time to explain my options and went over what to expect. Everything went as planned. I highly recommend Northeast surgical specialists.
