Amazing! I would definitely recommend him. I had two extra extractions and two implants done at the same time.

great doctor and staff! wholeheartedly recommend without reservation. Very professional and put you at ease.

Dr Boquel is the best! I am a dentist and he treated me. He is gentle and very knowledgeable and a lovely person. He did a great job. Would recommend to my family. His staff is caring too. read more

On the day of my appointment at Dr. Boquel's office,I was greeted by Dr. Alyssa Dierkes (D.D.S., M.S.) a young dentist, the third perodontist of Dr. Boquel's busy practice. She sat down, smiled, and we had a friendly and relaxed conversation. I felt comfortable and liked her immediately. I told her that I was worried that doing the extraction would leave an ugly space perhaps one-half a tooth wide between the two bottom front teeth in my mouth. This had prevented me from doing the extraction before. Dr. Dierkes said she had a procedure with which she could close the gap and give it a normal dental look. So after the extraction she would use "composite" material and a process called "splinting" to slightly widen the two teeth on either side of the gap to fill the space. Two weeks later, Dr. Dierkes used a 1 1/2 hour appointment to extract my tooth and replace the gap with a beautifully normal appearing set of teeth. I was astounded and absolutely delighted. Still am. read more

I realize that I don't trust my last periodontist. In my last visit I said something like, this option is less likely to go wrong. He told me nothing can go wrong in a pretty dismissive manner. I thought about that conversation a lot. A doctor claims nothing can go wrong is a warning sign. So when I needed a new implant I asked my general dentist for a referral. Dr. Boquel exceeded my expectations on every aspect on my first visit for the tooth extraction and bone graft. It was the very first time I learned that topical anesthesia can work so well that I didn't feel the needle coming in. At some point I gagged a lot and asked him just to push the liquid into my gum quickly, even if it hurt. He insisted he was not OK with pain. He soon found a way to make it work without pain. I have a lot of respect for people who would hold up to their own standards. He even was concerned that I wouldn't tell him if I ever was in pain. I was impressed. The extraction procedure went peacefully. Tooth extraction is not a fun experience but I was not scared at any point. I think the roots in that tooth were pretty tough and big, so he used a drill to cut them into separate pieces and took out one by one. Needless to say Dr. Boquel and his assistant Tonya were both cheerful and comforting, I really shouldn't have lost that much sleep the night before. What astonished me was what happened afterwards. Tonya told me that I shouldn't have felt much pain, which I didn't believe. I thought after the anesthesia worn off I would feel a lot of pain, just like the last time. The truth was the opposite - the throbbing sensation stopped after 2 hours, I was almost pain free(with the help of 600mg Motrin). On the day of the surgery I slept for 12 hours and had to get up for an empty stomach, not for the very mild pain in my mouth. This is so different from what I experienced with my last periodontist. I was in a lot of pain for days. My periodontist said I was grinding my tooth and told me to get a mouth guard from CVS. That counter in CVS was locked with no sales representative. So I ordered it online. The pain was pretty severe, at some point I started panicking and suspected I had an infection. I texted him again. He scolded me for not getting the mouth guard. Thinking back I suspect the reason I had so much pain last time could be that my last periodontist worked pretty roughly(and was impatient when I ask him not to lean his drill on my mouth), which made me scared, and probably caused more wounds. You can say this is pure speculation. But here comes some facts. He prescribed more pain medication: 800mg Ibuprofen(comparing to 600mg I got from Dr. Boquel), and acetaminophen with codeine. In that semester I took a course on substance use, and I knew how easy it was to get addicted to opioids. I was baffled that nobody in his office warned me about it. Not even that it shouldn't be taken with alcohol. If this periodontist didn't know his work usually cause more pain, why would he prescribe so much pain killers? In my opinion, Dr. Boquel not only understand the fear of pain, which is on the emotional level, he also pursue and excel at working with no pain on the technical level, which is crucial and admirable. It seems to me that he cares more about how to make a patient suffer less than showing what a great dentist he is, which paradoxically makes him a great dentist. (I hope this review doesn't make it more difficult for me to get an appointment in the future) (on a second thought, I hope I won't need another implant in the future //facepalm... good dentists - people you love dearly but wish never have to see again in their professional capacities...) read more

I had work done on my smile with Dr Boquel several years ago. Dr Boquel and his Staff are very professional and highly skilled. He performed a four quad gingivectomy and the results ten years later are fantastic. Without a doubt, I would recommend him highly. read more

Dr. Boquel's clinical skills are not in question and his chair-side manner was great, but I was not at all impressed with the business operations of his periodontal practice. I was referred to this large practice (with multiple clinicians, support staff, and geographic locations) by my longtime general dentist, whom I love and trust. Shortly after my arrival, I was seated in the exam chair, but I was not thrilled when I was greeted by a gum-popping technician who continued to pop her gum loudly while she took my dental history and prepared me for the doctor's exam. It was not exactly the most professional or confidence-inspiring clinical experience. To make matters much worse, I was overbilled for my copayment (my credit card was charged during my visit for more than they were entitled to collect as a participating provider with my Dental PPO). I could have forgiven a billing error, but what really annoyed me was the fact that I not only had to waste my own time calling them to point out the error and get the situation sorted out, but I had to call them TWICE in order to request a refund. Both times when I called, I was reassured verbally that the credit would be issued...yet, despite the expenditure of time on my part, the refund never showed up. Ultimately, I had to dispute the credit card charge with my card issuer to get things resolved. This is hardly a way to run a dental practice. Time for some tighter staff management, maybe? read more

Never been seen here. Reception/intake very rude and unprofessional, he questioned me in such a discourteous manner as to why i needed to see a periodontist that i hung up on him. i would NEVER make an appointment at a 'professional' medical treatment facility where prospective patients are treated with such insolence. i found a much friendlier, professional practice for my periodontal needs. Thanks for being rude dude! read more

I love this office! The doctors and staff are amazing. Dr Boquel and his staff are efficient and work well together. The precautions they are taking during this pandemic make you feel safe and well cared for- the office is clean, staff is friendly - doctors are highly knowledgeable ,efficient, and kind. I highly recommend this Office and their doctors! Thank you for taking care of me and my teeth. read more

Dr Boquel is brilliant. He is comforting, and I am always in fear - but I have never had anything but a pain free experience and amazing results. I highly recommend him to anyone! He takes his time when he needs to, and seems to be on the cutting edge of new materials and procedures. read more

Waste of time. Didn't' get any useful information from consult. Words put in my mouth I didn't say in consult note. "Just plop a crown on it" was his solution. I do not't believe he knew reason/problem for consult. Worthless. I would not recommend him to anyone. read more

They put me in a chair, 40 minutes later I left, this guy books way to many patients at the same time. I guess an appointment time means nothing to this office. I understand being busy, but leaving someone in a chair for 40 minutes without an explanation is not good business practice. read more

He is fantastic. Extremely competent, treats his staff well, and is a nice guy to boot.

This guy is the real deal. He understands your pain or should I say, "Your fear of pain". I had an implant done to replace a broken incisor. Everything went smoothly. I expected pain but experienced none. read more

I have absolutely nothing bad to say about Dr. Boquel or his staff members. I found them all to be very professional, extremely likable and very flexible. I am the worlds biggest wuss when it comes to dental visits, Dr. Boquel was very sensitive to my fear and really took the time and made the effort to make me feel more comfortable. The procedure itself went without a hitch. Not sure where these other not so nice reviews come from, my experience was A+ read more

Dr. Boquel and staff are very nice and considerate. Dr. Boquel and his staff make you feel comfortable and do an excellent dental work.

My dentist has referred me to Dr. Boquel for three implants over the past five years. All three went very smoothly. Dr. Boquel is knowledgeable and friendly, so it is easy to get questions answered completely. I also find his staff to be very helpful and competent. read more

My dentist referred me to see Dr. Gerald Boquel or Dr. Marc Standard after she did a clinical examination and determined that I needed to see a specialist. I called the office and was able to get an appointment for the next day at 9am for my initial consultation and, for a later date to have scaling done to one side of my mouth. I was able to get an appointment for the next day because someone had canceled. On the day of my appointment, I was very busy at work and could not make the appointment. I called the office to cancel that appointment and asked that they keep my later appointment date and to change that service from scaling to a initial consultation. A couple hours later, I received a telephone message to call with Kevin Harvot, the office manager. I returned his call and he stated that he had been in contact with my general dentist to advise her that they did not want to service me. He stated that I should contact my dentist to get another referral because they determined that I could not come to their office for service. I asked how "they" came to that determination. He stated that I canceled my appointment and that someone else could have taken that slot. I asked to speak with his superior and he stated that he was the office manager and that the doctor was his superior. I requested that the doctor call me; but, I have yet to receive a call. I became very bothered...and angry. I called my insurance company to report this office and they will be investigating the situation. Do they reject every customer who cancels an appointment? I was able to make an appointment because someone had canceled...did that person also receive a call that they could not come to that office for service? I don't want anyone with this attitude to be around me...this should never had been the attitude from the office manager of a business. I have never stepped foot in this establishment and I feel that I was discriminated against. WOW! I WOULD NEVER HAVEN GIVEN A SINGLE STAR...but, in order for me to write this review I had to. read more

Dr. Boquel is wonderful. I was referred to him after a series of foul-ups by a rather incompetent and probably unethical DC dentist. I've had several appointments with him now and each time I felt I was heard, I was treated gently, I was charged an appropriate amount, I was assisted with insurance questions, and Dr. Boquel made himself available to discuss my complex situation and/or manage pain as needed. He even helped me to figure out a separate problem that wasn't directly related. I have no complaints whatsoever and I highly recommend him. read more

Dr. Boquel is wonderful. I was referred to him for a simple gum procedure and was incredibly impressed. He was thoughtful, thorough, and I felt like he actually listened to everything I said. You can also tell a lot about a doctor the way he treats his staff. The office has a great vibe and the staff are all happy, very helpful, and love their jobs. One woman has been working with Dr. Boquel for 24 years! I highly recommend this doctor. The procedure went wonderfully and I had a great experience overall. read more

Dr. Boquel strikes me as a caring and engaged professional but my recent experience with his office prompted me to switch immediately to another doctor to perform an implant. His equipment was spouting water onto the floor, and a staffer came in with paper towels to mop it up with her feet. This unsettled me because I had recently experienced a long bout of "thrush" after a tooth removal by Dr. Boquel -- which I could not definitively say was his fault -- but I was fearful of unsanitary conditions. He assured me that the sterile saline leak was nothing to be alarmed about. But then I noticed some dirt on the holster of the implement that was leaking. He said that it wasn't dirty, but inexplicably leaned over and wiped away the substance. At that point I left the chair and said I would not return. I just would not trust -- or tolerate -- any uncleanliness in a surgical theatre where a doctor would be drilling into my jaw bone. read more

What an amazing physician and I'm glad that I had an issue (well not really) but I am glad I found him. He is warm and welcoming and makes sure you are comfortable through the whole procedure. If you need to stop and take a mouth break or if you feel pain he will stop and address it. His staff is friendly and helpful. I had an all around fantastic experience and I appreciate Dr. Boquel's amazing-ness. read more

I have seen Dr. Boquel several times for a crown lengthening procedure as well as an evaluation for a tooth implant. He is great - very professional and personable with a great bedside manner. I would definitely recommend him. My only disappointment was that the office staff informed me before my initial visit that my insurance was in-network when it actually wasn't. Unfortunately, I did not discover this until the procedure was completed and I had to foot the bill completely. I would just make sure to double check your insurance coverage before going. read more

I found Dr. Boquel and the entire staff to be super friendly and amenable. This is very important to me given the seeming influx of rude staff members who couldn't be bothered with customer service at other doctors offices and places of business. Dr. Boquel explained everything very clearly and took an interest in me as the patient. Would highly recommend. read more
