Consistent, Board-Certified Care
Every treatment is provided by a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon—not an associate or rotating provider. You’ll receive the same clinical precision and empathy that have made us a top referral choice.
Clear Answers, Fast Access
We don’t believe in long waitlists or unclear pricing. Patients in Longview benefit from same-week consultations and transparent cost estimates, with or without a referral.
A True Team Mentality

Get a glimpse at our services
Wisdom Teeth Removal
We provide safe, expertly planned extractions for teens and adults, including impacted wisdom teeth. With sedation options and thoughtful aftercare, we help make the process easier from start to finish.
Dental Implants
Whether you're missing one tooth or need full-arch restoration, we offer a full range of implant options, including same-day implants and digitally guided placement for strong, natural-looking results.
Sedation Dentistry
From local anesthesia to IV sedation, we offer a full spectrum of comfort-focused options. Our board-certified surgeons tailor sedation to your needs so you can feel confident and relaxed.
Oral Pathology
Oral pathology focuses on identifying and managing unusual changes in the mouth, such as lumps, sores, or lesions that don’t heal. These issues can range from minor to serious, and early detection is key. At Lake River Oral & Facial Surgery, we take every concern seriously. Using advanced imaging and diagnostic tools, we’ll evaluate the area, perform a biopsy if needed, and guide you through the next steps with care, clarity, and compassion.
Meet Our Doctors
For Dr. Chodroff, oral surgery is a calling deeply rooted in family, precision, and purpose. A third-generation dental professional, he grew up in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania surrounded by the values of dedication and expertise. After earning his undergraduate degree from Yale University and competing as a Division I rower, he went on to complete his dental degree at Columbia University and his medical degree at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU).
During his extensive residency in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at OHSU, one of the country’s most respected programs, Dr. Chodroff participated in hundreds of complex orthognathic and reconstructive surgeries. He developed a strong interest in minimally invasive techniques and virtual surgical planning to improve patient outcomes and speed up recovery. With a Master’s in Education from Columbia University’s Teachers College, he is also passionate about teaching and empowering patients through education.
When he’s not in surgery, you’ll find him trail running with his dog, Finn, or exploring new restaurants with his wife Lara and their two young children.
Co-Founder, Oral Surgeon
Dr. Chodroff
Growing up in Ohio as the oldest of four girls, Dr. Lazar was nicknamed the “CEO of the family”—a natural leader who thrived on creativity, problem-solving, and working with her hands. Though she originally pursued architecture, she quickly realized she craved more human connection. A few semesters and shadowing experiences later, her path became clear: oral surgery offered the perfect intersection of hands-on precision, high-intensity problem-solving, and patient-centered care.
After earning a BS in Biology and MS in Microbiology, Dr. Lazar taught dissection labs in graduate school—her early entry into surgical technique. She received her DMD from the University of Pittsburgh and completed a surgical internship at the Medical College of Wisconsin before completing her residency at Emory University School of Medicine. Known for her calm presence and gift for making patients feel comfortable, Dr. Ashley also teaches at OHSU and regularly attends CE courses to stay at the leading edge of her field.
Outside the office, she loves exploring the outdoors, cooking for loved ones, and spending time with her family (many of whom she’s working on relocating to the PNW).
