Nice staff. Top rate dentist. Had some financial troubles and let me split my bill between two months. That really helped.
I know this doctor: 2 yrs

Implant went fine. At 6 mo. followup where the gum has to be slit and a peg inserted, he couldn't be bothered to "waste time" doing what I think are standard anesthetic proceedures. I've had lots of work done on my front teeth (four caps); NEVER had a dentist just jam needles in without topical anesthetic and without staging the shots. Every previous dentist used topical anesthetic, waited a minute to let it work, then injected small amounts in three or four places, waited 5-10 minutes for preliminary numbing to reduce the pain, then completed the novacain shots. They're still painful, but Radakovich's method - just jam them in with brute force and absolutely no concern for the patient's pain - was agonizing. I'm highly pain-tolerant (once walked around with a broken elbow for two weeks) but literally screamed when he did this. It was absolutely brutal. I told him exactly what I've said above; he seemed almost amused. I'd never recommend him.

He did my dental implant and was a complete success, didn't feel a thing. Just waiting now for the final crown to be places, thanks

A gifted surgeon, Dr. Radakovich puts one at ease by explaining the procedure and repeatedly asking if one is comfortable. My regular dentist remarked that the implants were very well done. Dr. Radakovich's humor, always at appropriate times, relieves some of the stress of the surgery. Staff is very helpful and pleasant, first-rate operation all around.
