I would give Dr. Bartruff 6 stars if I could - he is outstanding! I was referred to another periodontist by my dentist, and I checked out Yelp for reviews. Thank god, because that's where I found Dr. Bartrfuff, who is very highly recommended. I did some comparisons and Dr. Bartruff won hands down. He has the best rates (about 1/3 of the other doctor), accepts dental insurance (many others don't), he and his staff are the most friendly, professional and helpful people I have worked with in Atlanta, and he did a phenomenal job on top of it all! From the minute I called his office, they were much friendlier than the other offices (who were at times snooty!) and the second time I called, the doctor himself answered the phone and helped me figure out cost estimates and insurance coverage, and how much I should put in my flex account.
I have gone to him for two gum grafting procedures, which he explained fully to me and made sure I was very comfortable with prior to the surgery. On the day of surgery he covered me with a comfy blanket, and went to work. I don't remember hardly any of it due to the sedatives, but it didn't last long. Dr. Bartruff gave me his personal phone number in case I had any issues after the surgery.
