    Dr. Soder is tops! He is very professional, caring and does excellent work. His entire staff is…read moregreat also. I've been a patient of his for years; and I credit him for having the healthy mouth that I have today.

    Great job of preserving my teeth battling some 20 years battling Periodontal gum disease…read more I now live in San Marcos de Tarazu Costa Rica. Ironically I now have great dental coverage. I got rid of my Medicare B which cost $318 a month for supposedly 80% coverage. I replaced it with 100% coverage including dental for both my wife and self costing $60 a month. That alone pays the $220 rent on my two bedroom/two bath house, plus the utilities. Then both my wife's older sister and her husband are physicians living 600 meters away, an aunt is an orthodontist living less than a kilometer away. Gee how my life changed. beyond that my wife's nephew is head of security at the airport, an uncle is governor of the province. Something I do find confusing is after a total of some 25 years fighting periodontal disease and cleaning 3 times yearly, the condition had finally shown some slight improvement on my last visit with Dr Soder. And since moving here it has corrected itself entirely. I had high blood pressure, tachycardia and depression in the US. All those are now gone. I had broken a knee cap at age 15 and prior to leaving the US used to limp up hill from the mail box. That too is gone. My BP is now 104/55, resting pulse 56. I work out at the gym 2 hours a day and bench press 110 kilos (242 pounds) for sets of 10 repetitions, in spite of carrying two AK-47 bullets in my torso for the past 49 years, plus a load of surgical hardware in my arm , the result of 8 bone surgeries for 45 years. I take no medications of any kind.Maybe not so much a miracle than simply being far away from VA Miscare. The changes began even before leaving the US when I quit treatment and medications from the Roseburg VA. I would really like to identify just why all my previous health problems corrected. My diet has definitely changed. I eat much like people here, fresh items grown without chemicals.and not processed. Perhaps just the freedom and happiness I now have. By 2010 relatives and friends in the US had died. So it was time to move on and as I did, acquire a new family. My wife is a professor of language at University of Costa Rica (Spanish, English, Portuguese, German and French) So, Dr Soder with a bit of showing for the gratitude over the years, you can expect to see a bag of coffee to arrive from Costa Rica. And I understand Starbucks is using an inferior coffee from here as the highest priced on their menu. The brand is Dota but for export most frequently labeled as Britt. Absolutely no one practicing dental procedures is more caring than Dr Soder. And he works with patients to give proper treatment with affordability.

    I can't recommend Cal Young Periodontics Center. If you need any sort of perio work done that…read morerequires 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!

    I can't say enough nice things about Dr. Harper, his staff and the overall ambience of the place…read more 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!
