Background
Before coming to Emory in 2004, Dr. Roser was the director of graduate medical education at New York-Presbyterian Hospital as well as director of the division of oral and maxillofacial surgery and associate dean for hospital affairs at the School of Dental and Oral Surgery of Columbia University.
Dr. Roser specializes in palate and maxillofacial surgery. In 2009, he was the first oral surgeon in Atlanta to use virtual surgery planning for free flap reconstruction following ablative surgery for oral cavity cancer.
Dr. Roser has an extensive history of international service that includes being a team leader for the Missions Abroad Program of Healing the Children-Northeast every year since 1992. In this role, he takes surgical teams to countries in Central and South America to provide such services as cleft lip and cleft palate repair. In 2017, he began participating in the Emory Haiti Alliance's summer surgical trips to Haiti's central plateau, the poorest and most medically underserved region in the country — Dr. Roser's first trip to Haiti was in 2010 in the first wave of medical responders following that year's devastating earthquake.
He has received numerous awards recognizing his efforts as an international surgeon, including the Distinguished Service Award of the International Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons in 2019, the Humanitarian Award of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons in 2011, a Presidential Citation for Humanitarian Efforts in Ecuador in 2005, and the American Dental Association's Oversees Volunteer Award in 2003.

I had many care providers. They were really all just great. They listened, answered my questions, and discussed my plans to the degree which I had asked.

|
10/16/2024 |
I'd recommend Dr Roser with the hesitations being the phone calls, scheduling visits and scheduling the surgery the wait time. These things are always bad. Terrible. And I've worked in healthcare for 25 years. My son's surgery date had been moved and nobody called me. Just stuff like that. But your clinic staff is great. |

Dr Roser is very clear and thorough |
|
07/09/2024 |
Dr. Roser is the very best doctor we have ever met. He is highly knowledgeable, very caring, and respectful of his patients. He is a blessing to Emory University and all the doctors who he is training. He takes his time to answer any questions we have after a very thorough examination. Because he is the best, we don't mind waiting longer in the waiting room for his expertise and amazing patient care. Dr. Ray did an excellent job for a resident, too. |
|
07/05/2024 |
Post surgical questions should be standardized. |

|
06/06/2024 |
DrRosen and his assistant were amazing. They listened, were knowledgeable and gave me accurate information. I hadcseen 3 dentists prior at my own dentist who were the opposite |
|
06/05/2024 |
Was disappointed that neither the resident or attending that discussed the procedure for the consult were present for my procedure. A new resident was there but I had not met this one and was not expecting a different provider. |
|
06/02/2024 |
The resident who performed the surgery was fantastic. I have serious dental anxiety, and she went out of her way to reassure me and explain what she was doing throughout the process. If I had to have oral surgery, I couldn't have asked for a better experience! |
|
05/25/2024 |
Bothe Dr Sanders and Dr Rosen were great, I felt like they listened carefully. The exam was very thorough |

I felt very comfortable and confident in my care team. |
|
05/08/2024 |
I had a bit of a panic attack while I was getting all the details by who ever was going over what all entailed in my procedure. I mentioned I was squeamish and my blood pressure went up and the nurse gave me something to calm me down. She was very kind. |
|
05/07/2024 |
Ver please with Dr Roser and his team. |
|
05/02/2024 |
Rey good |
|
05/01/2024 |
