I can't recommend Cal Young Periodontics Center. If you need any sort of perio work done that requires slightly complex billing, find someone else. My dentist referred me to Cal Young Perio due to an under the gum line cavity that was inaccessible without having my gums lifted and bone shaved. Dr. Harper recommended a gingival flap surgery to access the area. The nurse taking notes in office asked the doctor to confirm if this was the right procedure. I should've taken this as a bad sign. I later found out the procedure I likely needed to be performed and billed was a crown lengthening procedure. Same results, different procedure. Why he chose the procedure he did, I'm not sure. He's not too informative in office. Either way, the surgery and recovery went well. Once healed, weeks later, I returned to my dentist to have my cavity filled and was informed none of my records were sent back to them. My dentist had to contact Cal Young while filling my cavity, which ended out being pretty awkward, while I was in his chair. Unfortunately, dealing with billing is like pulling teeth. While I understand that insurance companies can be a pain, my insurance company mentioned that the procedure was incorrectly billed and they advised me to have Cal Young Perio's billing rep to call in and discuss codes. When I contacted them about this issue on 12/16 over the phone and I was informed that: 1. Dr. Harper was not likely to change his notes and 2. they'd call the insurance company and call me back. Cue radio silence for over a month when I received yet another bill from them. When I called my insurance on 1/26, they confirmed that Cal Young hadn't contacted them (which makes sense, considering the quality of communication I've received). When I contacted Cal Young again, I was informed that they forgot to contact my insurance (not at all reassuring). On 1/27, I was informed that they spoke with my insurance, but that they would not rebill and appealing was not an option, since the procedure was not framed as one done to access the cavity, but as one to aid with gum pocket reduction (which it was not). Unfortunately, I don't think there's much to do. I'll pay the $800+ and be okay with the fact I should've researched better and found a perio that would try to bill the right procedure with supporting documentation correctly. As a person who's had a lot of dental procedures done, due to an accident, this has been the worst experience I've had with a dentist, even during my time in the military. There's other perios in town. Give them a try! read more

I can't say enough nice things about Dr. Harper, his staff and the overall ambience of the place. I am neurotic when it comes to getting any dental work, which is the reason I self referred instead of going through the normal process of seeing the general dentist first and being referred to a periodontist. So yay me, for skipping that unnecessary step. I went in yesterday because I had some pain and a gum recession from a piercing I had for many years. I had an infection and due to the severity of the bone loss and recession, Dr. Harper gave me two recommendations; the first being to save the tooth at a much lower cost than to go the implant route. I'm almost 12 hours after my surgery and I have minor discomfort, which is much less than what I expected and much less than what I felt before my visit so I have no complaints. Long story short, I had my surgery this morning. Dr. Harper and his assistant (I can't remember her name, but she had great eyelashes!) had the BEST bedside manner, making sure I was comfortable at all times. They spoke to me on a personal level and we joked around. Not that having dental work is fun, but I didn't have a bad time. The facility looks like a house on the outside and is extremely nice on the inside. Very clean! read more

I was able to get an appointment within a couple of days, which was wonderful. Gena, the office manager, emailed me required forms so that I could fill them out in advance with all the information at my fingertips. When I arrived at the office, I was greeted courteously. While being checked in, Gena came to the reception desk and helped the employee who appeared to be fairly new to the position. Both Gena and the office assistant were pleasant. Dr. Harper was professional yet warm. He explained everything carefully, sometimes twice at my request, because I wanted to make sure I understood my options. He asked his medical assistant to take two X-rays and discovered a situation with one tooth my dentist misdiagnosed. When Dr. Harper left the room, his assistant spent quite a while answering more questions. She informed me that there was an option that did not include cadaver bone, which was a fabulous suggestion. She provided me with a treatment plan and explained everything carefully but did not pressure me to get the procedure done. This was a positive experience. read more

While my experience with Dr Harper and his assistant was brief yet acceptable, I instantly felt unwelcomed by the front desk staff. And that continued today when I moved an existing appointment for a same day tooth extraction. Long story short, my experience with this office as well as the front desk staff at Arrow Dental (who made the referral to Dr. Harper in the first place) has been unacceptable. No one, regardless of socioeconomic status, should be treated this way. This review reflects the multiple miscommunications, the perceived discrimination, the stress and frustration, and the awful customer service experienced dealing with this business. read more

Dr. Harper performed gum surgery on me a year ago in an area where the bone was receding. The surgery went well and my after care has been great! Today they took an x-ray to see if the bone has been regenerated in that area and it has! Thanks to the stem cells and the excellent care I received from Dr. Harper and his staff! I am grateful for this positive experience with Dr. Harper and his staff!! Thank you!!! read more

Dr Harper has treated me and several family members. Seems to be very good work. Well explained. No problems over the past 3 or 4 years. Expensive? Yes. I think the same quality is available at 50-75% of his fees. read more

I had a gum graft performed by Dr. Harper. I was referred to him by my dentist. I very much appreciate this referral. Dr. Harper's staff was very professional while being very caring. Dr. Harper is very personable and relaxes you with his wit and expertise. The whole process took only about 40 minutes, if that. When I looked up gum grafts on YouTube AFTER I had the procedure I fully appreciated just how much Dr. Harper had minimized the pain. read more

Dr. Harper preformed minor surgery on me he took tissue from my gums and reposition over exposed roots. I had years ago (in another galaxy), had surgery where the tissue was removed from the roof of my mouth to correct similar problem and that took twice as long and hurt 5 times as much. That said, I was skeptical that repositioning would do the trick but it has been over 4 months and I am happy to say it has healed well and the sensitivity I was experiencing has disappeared. On top of that his staff went the extra mile and called my insurance company to find out how much out of pocket I would have to pay. I have never had a dental establishment do that! I also had my teeth cleaned there and it was the best cleaning I have had in years!!! I would recommend him and his staff they are the best! read more
