He is a GREAT periodontist, who exemplifies a distinctive level of knowledge, kindness and, superb medical care! When I visited Dr. Sweiden for my consultation and examination, he was explicit as he explained my treatment options and the specifics of implant surgery. As an added bonus, Dr. Sweiden's staff are all very friendly, helpful and extremely prompt. Everyone made me feel comfortable about the procedure, and all my questions were answered. I was impressed with the warm atmosphere, and the attention you and your staff give your patients. It makes my visits to your office a very pleasant experience. Indeed, your attention to detail in both terms of preparing patients for both pre-operative and post-operative care is beyond reproach. Your written instructions were most precise, and I was well aware of how to properly prepare for my implant surgery, and your post-operative care instructions were extremely comprehensive. As an added bonus, my post-operative care instructions were provided in a gift bag, and I was delighted that my package included limited medical supplies and, as an added bonus, a gourmet soup. It was a welcome gift and a very thoughtful gesture. Certainly, Dr. Caesar Sweidan pays attention to his patients needs. I write this letter with sincere gratitude to thank you for being kind and caring and for taking such good care of me. During my implant procedure, I was completely at ease. St Tammany Periodontics is an ELITE professional organization, and I highly recommend your office to anyone in need of periodontal care. Please know that the biggest reward for a thing well done is to have DONE IT! I am pleased with the outcome of my procedure, and I thank you for being my periodontist! Sincerely, Dennis J. Saucier

I had to bring my 6 month old son with me because we're new to this area and haven't established any sitters. He kept his attention while I was getting X-Ray and played with him. I was astonished and very grateful. The other ladies helped out as well especially Jackie. This was a great time. I previously scheduled a doc appointment with Magnolia Dental as I wanted to go with a smaller firm but cancelled after my husband experience. Aspen is a Nice and clean office and they definitely get the job done.

Horrifying experience. Can I leave NEGATIVE 5 stars instead?…read more I'm sharing my experience in the hope that it helps someone else. Last Wednesday, I went to Aspen Dental in Covington Louisiana off Hwy 21 for a simple cleaning and to have a painful tooth checked. After waiting over an hour and a half, I was taken back for about 10 minutes of X-rays and then left waiting again. When the dentist finally came in, he barely looked at my X-rays before telling me I needed a root canal on my front tooth, which wasn't even the tooth I came in complaining about. When I clarified that the tooth behind it was hurting, he seemed flustered and said, "Oh, I don't know then. We'll need an expert opinion." Excuse me, isn't the dentist supposed to be the expert? Especially after taking all those X-rays? I realized he had only mentioned the wrong tooth because I accidentally called it a canine when I meant premolar. It felt like he was going off what I said rather than actually paying attention to the X-rays. The only thing he repeatedly seemed concerned about was making sure I took the survey afterward and reminding me that he worked for Aspen Dental. I was also told they would work with my insurance and offer a good payment arrangement. That did not happen. When I finally spoke with the financial representative, I was quoted $2,000 for a "special" cleaning when I had asked for the cleaning my insurance covered. Then, because they believed I might need two root canals, I was told the total could be around $8,000 more, meaning approximately $10,000 just to get started. They also prescribed me amoxicillin for what they believed was an infection. It made me violently sick for an entire week. I couldn't sleep because I was terrified I was going to lose two teeth or need expensive root canals. When I questioned the financial representative afterward, she became extremely defensive. Thankfully, I got a second opinion from Dr. Hobgood at Algiers Dental Associates, as recommended by my brother. I should have gone there from the beginning. After examining me, Dr. Hobgood found that none of what Aspen Dental told me was happening. I had a minor abrasion on my tooth caused by grinding. No cavity, no infection, and absolutely no need for a root canal. Instead, he did a simple and beautiful resin patch for $57. My tooth looks great, I'm no longer in pain, and he was absolutely worth the hour-and-a-half drive. To make matters worse, while taking the unnecessary antibiotic, I became so sick that I passed out at a movie theater concession stand this past Saturday and twice more while trying to make it to the theater. My eyes rolled back, my legs gave out, and I became violently ill afterward. Whether it was an allergic reaction or another reaction to the medication, I believe I should never have been prescribed it in the first place because I did not have an infection. I went from being told I potentially needed $10,000 worth of dental work and medication to treat an infection I didn't have, to discovering I needed a $57 repair. Thank God for Dr. Hobgood and the entire staff at Algiers Dental Associates for giving me an honest second opinion and treating me with respect. I will not be going anywhere else for dental work. Shame on Aspen Dental for the experience I had. Please, please get a second opinion before agreeing to expensive dental work. Based on my experience, I would strongly encourage anyone considering treatment there to ask questions, review their options carefully, and get another professional opinion before moving forward. It made a world of difference for me.
