While I have not yet had my procedure, my first visit went well. All staff are friendly and professional. Tiffany deserves a special shoutout. She works in appointments and billing and was particularly transparent and helpful. I've been a healthcare professional for more than 40 years and know all too well that the 'front office' staff can make or break a medical practice. Tiffany definitely makes Capitol Periodontal a winner read more

I came here 3 years ago to get a gum graft consult with Dr. Kevin Chen and to my surprise, he was able to fit me in same day for a graft! Since then I've had grafts on both sides of my teeth with a smooth recovery process. If you have sensitive teeth and your dentist recommends treatment, get it. I can now eat ice crem with no pain! He did such great work on me that I referred my mom to him as well. She raves about how great they are and their flexible payment options. 100% gets all my Perio referrals. read more

I'm writing this review in hopes I will save someone from the experience I had. Have TMJ and need a jaw replacement, to get surgery need braces. Long story short, was referred to Dr Chen, he did a 5 minute work up and then told me I needed several full mouth procedures OVER $14,000. When I asked why, he would not walk me through an answer, just said over and over, "you want surgery, we need to get your mouth perfect." He then told me he was going to contact my surgeon and dentist to make sure I got the treatments before moving forward. I was in tears, I have not been able to chew open or my mouth for over a year. Got a second opinion, needed a deep cleaning and one tooth fixed for $1,500. Capital Perio tried to advantage of my desperation to relieve my pain, and paying their high price for my unprofessional consult sucked too lol. read more

Went here after waiting months for an appointment to see Dr Nath The lady that brought by me to the room was very sterile in her customer service with me. After asking numerous questions, I waited for 30 min in the chair woth a bib on with NOONE to see me or check on me. No one I walked out after waiting more than 30 minutes for anyone to talk to me, see me or even tell me wtf was going on. How would that make you feel? What would be next if this is the first impression?? 30 minutes after my appointment that I must show for early. No one Like I said, if this is how they treat you for first impressions, how will they treat you for surgery or other aspects? read more

Miriam is the best part about this place. She is so helpful. She got me the appointment I needed. She rocks!

I have severe anxiety and phobias of any dental work. Dr Rasheed and his staff are amazing. They are calming, empathetic to my needs and explain everything. The environment and staff are inviting and treat you like a person, not a patient. I was put at complete ease, and was treated with the utmost respect. As a registered nurse, I pay close attention to detail regarding hygiene and cleanliness (especially since Covid) and this practice is of the highest caliber. I thoroughly recommend Dr Rasheed and his staff. He has restored my confidence and I cannot wait for my smile to be complete! 6 STARS!!!!!!!!! read more

Dr Rasheed is excellent! He figured out and treated a complicated issue with my gum grafts that were done by another practice many years ago. I'm so grateful for his treatment. And he spent extra time making sure I felt comfortable and well informed every step of the way. I would recommend Dr Rasheed to anyone and everyone who needs periodontal work! read more

They need to be friendlier and more patient. I had a bad experience with being treated rudely by the employees.

Got referred here by my primary dentist. They scheduled me for about a month out. My appointment was for 3:40 pm. About 2 weeks before my appointment, work picked up, and having a skeleton crew. We were assigned mandatory overtime. So, I thought I could call this place to let them know I'll be there at 4 pm. The lady that answered the phone said they couldn't do it and that I'll have to reschedule another few weeks out. So I decided I'll try to leave work and try to get there ASAP. Well, that didn't happen. Got there at 3:47 pm. Seven minutes late. Went in to check in. No one in the waiting area. Went to sit down. Another lady came in a few minutes later and said she's there for her 4.oclock appointment. Waited and waited. 4:05 p.m., they called the other lady in for her appointment. Now, I felt like they were teaching me a lesson for being late. So, I got up and walked out. If these people are this petty. I would dare let them go anywhere near my teeth. I apologize that I was an inconvenience to them. Life happens, and nobody can predict what's gonna happen a month out. However, they won't have to worry about me or anyone I know inconveniencing them anymore. read more

I had a traumatic experience getting an implant here. Dr. Jain walked into the room on my procedure day and placed a blind fold on me before trying to numb me. This only caused me more anxiety. She then used a very forceful and aimless method of placing injections in the roof of my mouth to try to numb me. It was very obvious that they were not trying to be gentle and could care less what pain I was in. In fact, when I asked to have the blind fold removed, she seemed irritated. When the procedure was over, she did not stay to go over any information, she just walked out of the room. I was literally horrified by the whole experience and the lack of professionalism. My whole jaw and face was swollen for 2 weeks after!!! read more

This is a business exclusively for profit. The Dr I saw for literally 5 min was frightening, I wondered if he was on something. They didn't tell me that my consultation was denied by my insurance company and I'd be paying out of pocket, which had I known I would have not gone through with. I literally spent more time in the billing dept. with the billing person who handed me a very fancy blue and gold folder with the outrageously overpriced estimate for the dental procedure I needed. She spent a fair amount of time explaining ALL the fees but didn't take the time to let me know my insurance wasn't covering that visit. I ended up going to an old school periodontist downtown, had ideal care at a reasonable price. No granite countertops or fancy blue and gold folders just good dental care. Steer clear of this place! read more

I was recommended through my dentist to come here for a gum graft on teeth #24 & #25 and was definitely nervous about what I was getting myself into. I go to the dentist regularly, but absolutely despise having my teeth worked on let alone being numbed for any procedure. I opted for a partial sedation, but didn't find out until day of my appointment I wasn't given the medication from my pharmacy. The staff reassured me they had some there and though it wouldn't be as affective taking it late, that it would be okay. While in the room the anxiety kicked in and assistant that would be working with the doctor noticed and immediately was trying to distract me with small talk, reassure me I would be okay, and checked in frequently to see if I was still okay. I wish I could remember her name, but she definitely made me feel 10 times better about the procedure and I'm very grateful for that! The doctor was also very reassuring as well and put my mind at ease before beginning. Can't wait to see the finished results! read more

I have severe periodontitis from years of no healthcare and growing up homeless. I was terrified of being judged and Dr. Towfighi was so kind to me. I needed surgery on every single tooth including two teeth extractions. My treatment coordinator (Kati Flores) was patient with me as I asked a bunch of questions about the financial process and insurance updates. She would call me back ASAP and kept me posted every step of the way as my insurance claim was submitted. Surgery can be overwhelming financially, but she made me feel at ease. I can't thank her enough for being so kind, patient, and helpful. It's been three days since my surgery by Dr. Towfighi and I'm feeling much better than I anticipated. Especially for someone who had every single tooth worked for on! My extraction site doesn't hurt at all, I have no idea how he did that. I was consciously sedated during my surgery and Dr. Towfighi and his assistant checked on me to make sure I was numb and comfortable. For three hours Dr. Towfighi worked on my teeth and he was so careful and very attentive. He didn't cut corners, he made sure to get every piece of bacteria and double checked his work to see if anything needed to be cleaned again. The lazer treatment was amazing! No stitches needed, the lazer closed all the openings. I'm terrified of dentists and surgery in general. My periodontitis is so bad that at this point, we're focusing on trying to keep my teeth as long as possible. Thanks to Dr. Towfighi my lifespan will be increased and my infection will hopefully be under control. The rest is in my hands and I'll be on top of my dental hygiene for the rest of my life. I'm so grateful, I'm sure it was such a tedious process working on my whole mouth but he did amazing. Thank you so much Dr. Towfighi and Katie Flores, you both made my experience seamless and I know I'm in good hands. Looking forward to my two week follow up with you! read more

Had to learn a lesson about medical/dental billing the hard way with these people. I was literally TOLD over the phone by their office staff that my graft surgery would be covered by my TRICARE United Concordia military benefits. Had the operation done and then later got sacked with a bill for about $2000 for the operation- because as it turns out, this place was NEVER in United Concordia's network. ALWAYS VERIFY WITH YOUR INSURANCE BEFORE THE OPERATION AND DO NOT TRUST THE OFFICE. Also from what my dentist (who oddly referred me in the first place) told me, because their staff doesnt like it when people cancel at the last minute like I had to, they'll put your next appointment WAY out in the future, apparently ad their own form of retaliation. Needless to say, I will NEVER go back to this place and I warn anyone else against going too. read more

First he was late, then he talked the entire time to his dental assistant about personal matters the entire time that he was working on my teeth. Which is quite unprofessional. He paid more attention to his personal side conversations rather than focusing on his work on my teeth. Their pricing is also quite outrageous, and I would not recommend it at all. My doctor was Dr. Kevin Chen and I would not recommend him at all either! He did not seem very thorough with his work. read more

We love Dr Chen BUT, the girl, Tiffany at the front desk is rude and abrasive. How about asking how my son is doing first instead of just trying to get us "in the books" right away. She talks down to you like you don't know anything. Then she just hangs up after she gets a date on her calendar from me. Everytime this happens everytime with her, Tiffany. read more

Dr. Rasheed and his staff are is truly amazing. Super professional and friendly. They really made my experience awesome. I had upper crown lengthening surgery and I'm so satisfied with the results. This was my second upper crown lengthening surgery, Dr Rasheed actually corrected and improved what the last Dr messed up. I would highly recommend Capital Periodontal Group. read more

Capitol Perio - Before - Periodontists Near Me - Elk Grove, California

See all

Do not go there. This place is a joke. Cannot contact them. Surprises Fee of out of the ordinary. Rude staff. Impatient doctors. I literally only saw Dr. Jain for 5 mins for the consultation and got charged for it. Wouldn't trust her to do an oral surgery on me. read more

My name is Nancy Forbes I have to say these are the most amazing people ever ... The staff is just amazing Debbie who handles financing is beyond anything in this world. She so help me and calm me down with something she workout with me. It's nice to know how someone can hold your hand and be there for you... I can not say enough nice things about this wonderful place . read more

I had a gum graft procedure done with Dr Nath. I couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome and the care I received. Very professional staff. Minimal pain and discomfort. Dr Nath was very caring and thoughtful and I'm very happy with the results! Highly recommend him for your dental work. read more

Stay away from this organization. I'm an RN for 28 years and wouldn't send my dog here, lol They ignored ordering post op meds for surgery. The supporting staff is incipient and openly aggressive. I truly wish I had something anything positive to say, but I don't. read more

Dr Pretel is awesome! Surgery was as comfortable as could be and his surgical assistant was top notch too. Follow up appointments were fast and taught me a lot on how to better care for my gums. Highly recommend! read more

Dr Rasheed is the absolute bees knees. Caring and attentive he even answered all of the over analytic questions without getting frustrated. The Front desk and support staff were all friendly and accommodating. read more

I just had a crown lengthening procedure done by Dr. Khalid Rasheed. He was amazing. He said he would be conservative, not to create irreversible issues which would ensure the results would be natural, yet show visible results. He absolutely delivered on each of those areas. I was ecstatic that my insurance ended up covering a great portion of the procedure as well. I could not be more pleased with the results and I highly recommend Dr. Rasheed and Capitol Periodontal Group, thank you guys so much!! read more

I am surprised at some of the negative reviews on Capital Periodontal in Elk Grove. I have been going to them for years for deep cleanings. They don't try to oversell me. I have never been pressured or had an appointment canceled. Neither have I had an appointment moved months out. I just changed an appointment yesterday and was able to get one with my same hygienist only one week out. I think this office is very professional and I have always had great treatment here. I see Janie and Dr. Paul Towfighi. Of course, I don't think anyone likes paying dentists/periodontist but I would say their prices are not outrageous. I would definitely recommend Capital Periodontal. read more

This place is really scary. I want to think they care about the patient, but really they only care about their bottom line ($$$). They continue to contact my parents over and over again for more and more treatment, after your initial consultation, if you don't continue with them and give them business, they will hound you like there's no tomorrow. This periodontal group is quite large and as such I think they really are going for the most profitable patients and have corporate goals. Their treatment coordinators are really more like sales people, possibly commissioned! I would recommend getting a second opinion about any treatment they recommend as well as think about the dental who referred you to this periodontal group, that dentist may be getting kickbacks even if those kickbacks are not in the form of money, but in the form of referrals or gifts. If I were you, I would seriously get even a 3rd opinion, perhaps from an academic dentist (i.e. from a dental school) where they're not after profit because they're a teaching dental school and/or they serve indigents (people with no money), see what those dentists there say about your teeth/gums, etc. In short, definitely don't just sign your rights and your benefits away, they especially contact you or your elderly parents more frequently towards the end of the year to make sure you're using up your benefits so they can put your benefits into their pockets! =( read more

My experience here would have been good--both the doctor and person assisting were nice--but the doctor took off his mask during the consultation. He had it on for the exam part but then took it off when talking with us afterwards in the small exam room. He had no mask, and my son had no mask because he had just had his exam. I found it disappointing that an oral surgeon would do this during a pandemic. read more

I was terribly nervous about going to my first visit. I was put at ease from the moment I walked in the office. The receptionist was very friendly, The back office staff was just as friendly and calming. I saw Dr. Chen and he is fabulous. He put me right at ease and accommodated me based on my anxiety. A year later and I have no nervousness or anxiety about going to Capitol Periodontal. read more

Warning, do not go to Capitol Periodontal. I went there per my dentist's referral. The gal quoted me a price for two implants. I paid in cash up front. When I went to my next to last appointment they told me I owed $2000.00 more. No extra work was performed. I talked to the lady, she said she would talk to the dentist and call me back, which did not happen. Now they added $30.00 to the bill for finance charges when nothing was financed. And this cost does not include the crowns that are still needed. Do not trust this company! read more

I was very nervous about getting dental implants because of the procedure involved. I saw Dr. Towfigi and assistant Curtis. I felt no pain and the follow up has been great. I am so glad I made the decision to do it! The entire staff was helpful and answered my many calls and questions! read more

Who likes to get dental work done??? Not me!! BUT I had a great experience with DR.Aneel Nath and staff. Customer service is important to me, if I'm giving you my money (insurance) get to know me. My initial phone calls were blah...I wasn't sure if I was going to let this office do the work BUT!!!! I was pleasantly surprised at how friendly and personable everyone was on my first visit. Dr.Nath is a funny guy, great energy and confident in what he does. He performed my surgery and made sure I was extremely comfortable. Even let me pick the music (smile).....Did I fall asleep in the chair??? I don't know, maybe......It's questionable! Lol I heard some snoring but it could have been him or Donna. Haha...I felt no pain, nothing. Dr. Nath was finished before I knew it. Just know I was a little nervous going in ok a lot nervous, my BP was high and now I don't even know why. Great job team and thank you!! Special thank you to my first attendant. Our first interaction is what brought me back to the office. Normally, I have to search to find a place that I can trust and feel comfortable. This time I didn't. read more

I must say, when my dentist shared my experiences with my periodontist here, he was appalled and definitely made good. Our experience was unfortunate, but I believe this place is mostly filled with committed professionals. read more

I had a great experience at Capitol Perio Elk Grove! Friendly knowledgeable staff and Drs. I will highly recommend them to any family and friends in need of their services. read more

I want to make sure Customers are Aware... This dentist will not tell you the correct billing info. Even after they tell you they made mistake, they will still make you pay for there mistake. If you are using 2 insurances make sure they tell before the service that they accept it. This is my story and the lack of customer service is my dispute. They lack the knowledge in buisness to make sure you are not upset later. They initially told me that both insurances would cover my work. Mind you, this work was done in the end of December. I was told approx 6 months later after the work had already been completed that the insurance do not dual coverage. This was told to the dentist back 2 months prior to the procedure but was never told to me. This is very unprofessional and will never do buisness again. They have been non supportive even after admitting the mistake. Shame on you. After reading reviews it looks like this is an on going problem wish I would have done my research. read more
