About

I believe in serving my profession beyond simply treating patients. Being a professional means I have set high standards that I must live up to. I believe in being ethical, compassionate, and understanding, and caring for each person as if he or she were my family member. I know it's a privilege when an individual comes to our practice and puts their trust in us to help them, no matter what their oral health needs. I treat each patient gently and honestly, and do my best to give them my very best. In a similar manner, I expect the same from our team. It is all about trusting each other. Each person I care for has unique needs and desires, and it is my job to listen to the person and learn about their goals in seeking treatment, before I work with them to find the solutions to their unique situation. Education and Commitment to Continuing Education Bachelor of Science, electrical engineering, magna cum laude – West Virginia University Doctorate of Dental Surgery – West University School of Dental Medicine As a professional, I feel it is an obligation that I continue my education and never stop learning. There's a plaque in my office that reads Ancora Imparum, which is Latin for "I am still learning." Remaining on the leading edge of developments in dentistry enables me to offer patients more treatment options, and because of my enhanced skills, I am able to provide my patients with advanced procedures so they don't have to see a specialist. I have earned both a fellowship and a mastership in the Academy of General Dentistry, as well as a lifelong service recognition award as a result of my ongoing pursuit of continuing education. Professional Affiliations As a dentist, I am passionate about serving my patients and this great profession. I have served on multiple committees for the Pennsylvania Academy of General Dentistry, including as president and as a regional director for six years and as Pennsylvania's Trustee for three years. I am also a member of the: Academy of General Dentistry Foundation Board American Dental Society of Anesthesiology International College of Dentists, fellow American College of Dentists, fellow Pennsylvania PEAK Dental Study Club Omicron Kappa Upsilon, Dental Honor Society Personal Life I grew up just outside of Wheeling, WV, and have lived in Marshall Township, PA, since 1987. My wife, Dr. Linda Feduska-Kokai, who is also my partner in this dental practice, and I have two adult daughters, Valerie and Colleen, and a son-in-law, Ben. We also have two cats, Borscht and Iggy, and a Teacup Yorkie, CoCo, who's a tiny ball of energy. Away from work, I love to fish, but must admit I'm not very good at it. I'm also an avid gardener, and I love photography, biking, hiking, and a good book, too. In the Community I have been blessed with the opportunity to serve others with my hands. I've participated in many dental community events, but am most active in providing dental care to underprivileged individuals and those who are handicapped. I'm also an active church member.

Doctor Kokai is a very friendly person but not a good dentist. In my whole life I never had such terrible pain at a dentist appointment. I still have pain in my jaw and had to see an oral surgeon. I would NOT recommend him.

Everyone is kind and caring and takes their time to explain everything.

In past decades, I have had routine, emergency and periodontal care at “MBS”. I have never had a bad experience. Dental work is a necessary thing and sometimes not pleasant (ouch). My dental care there has been fine. Everyone needs to take care of your teeth and gums. Flossing and brushing almost everyday

My senior parent was treated by Dr. Kokai. His recommendations and treatment were ineffective and substandard and cost my parent much of their limited savings! When asked why he recommended and carried out the the treatment he did, his respones was "well I don't have a crystal ball." Dentistry is a Science, not a side-show at the circus!! Taking advantage of a senior citizen on a fixed income or anyone for that matter is unacceptable! He was rude, condescending and curt, and he himself did not incorporate Covid PPE safety measures, in that he did not wear gloves and his mask was on his neck.

He did a crown on my front tooth a few years ago and I was never happy with it. It took me getting a job at another dental office to realize he slightly grinded into the other front tooth that was not being worked on to make the crown that is way too big compared to my other tooth, fit. They also repeatedly told me I needed braces despite me constantly telling them I liked my teeth and didn’t want braces. At every single visit. I would not recommend coming here.

Dr. Kokai and Kristen were excellent!!! I’m usually very anxious during dental appointments and they made me feel at ease and comfortable. The office is very clean and inviting, all staff that I came into contact with was extremely friendly. I bearly waited 5 minutes in the waiting room, which was wonderful, but I wouldn’t mind even if I did had a longer wait, because they had many interesting books to choose from and good tunes playing softly in the background. I highly recommend this dentistry

After having several appointments with him where he was extremely frustrated, I left. Upon leaving, I have had to spend several thousand dollars to fix what was done haphazardly or with subpar materials. Outdated practice.
