I was referred to him via my new dentist having moved here 2 years ago. The office staff is very professional. Many of the hygienists/assistants are fresh out of school, seemingly in training. They were all very sweet and pleasant. The doctor seems knowledgeable; however, he is lacking in bed side manner. He communicates with the assistants as though he is training them which tends to make me nervous. While he does answer my questions, he seems dogmatic when it comes to his treatment suggestions. He seems a bit impatient when questioned, but is very nice (not at all rude). He seems to be in a hurry. I had not been to a periodontist in 2-3 years. But had had osseous surgery less than 3 years prior. He did a full mouth exray without seeing me or probing. He then probed and was very rough. My gums were throbbing when he finished. He pressed so hard that it absolutely hurt!! I had never had that experience before; although I have been treated by periodontist for years. He scheduled me for root planing and scaling immediatley. He did all four quadrants and was very rough. He scheduled me for another full round of osseous surgery without even checking to see how the other procedure worked out. I am concerned as I didn't expect surgery.

About Hygienist: The doctor did the procedure. He was rough, but I felt he did a very thorough job! They feel very clean.

I know this doctor: 1 month
