It is hard to believe Paul Kazmer would get any less than 5 stars! I have been a patient of his…read morefor about 15 years and have been pleased with his monitoring my teeth and determining how to save them. I have had a number of procedures done to combat my bone loss which has slowed down and stabilized my bone loss. For the teeth that died or needed to be replaced he placed implants which have all been successful. Besides that, I have experienced little pain. One of my central incisors became loose and useless after biting into toffee. Other teeth around it were not secure enough to support one implant. So all four incisors were removed, and implants were inserted and secured to canine teeth. The dentist who created the crowns remarked that she knew Kazmer did the implants because they were perfectly aligned. It was an impressive job he did, and I have had no problems in the two years I have had them. It's not just me and another local dentist. I have had the need to visit UNC Dentistry, and the professor/dentist there was happy that I went to Kazmer because he is the best! Besides his excellence, he has always been very professional along with his staff. His dental hygienists have been thorough, knowledgeable and helpful. And other staff, including office staff and financial consultants, have been top-notch. Plus Kazmer recommends prescription toothpaste which he offers at a discount!!

Today at Kazmer Dental Clinic, we finally experienced firsthand the abysmal service attitude and…read morequality of both the front desk staff and the manager. We arrived on time to check in at the front desk; however, due to a minor dispute regarding insurance coverage and payment installments, the receptionist consulted the manager and asked us to wait a few minutes. We ended up waiting a full half-hour before the manager finally appeared to speak with us. Throughout the entire interaction, she maintained a cold and frosty demeanor; none of the requests or questions we raised were properly addressed or clearly explained. Ultimately, she issued an ultimatum: since it was too late in the day, we would have to reschedule for a different time if we still wanted to proceed with the treatment. When we inquired with the hygienist, we were told the earliest available appointment was a month and a half away--at which point the manager coldly asked if we wished to accept that slot. This was particularly frustrating because we had visited the clinic just a week prior, had already undergone X-rays, and had even taken the prescribed pre-treatment antibiotics. Yet, due to this manager's stalling tactics, we were unable to receive our treatment today. Outraged by this turn of events, we decided to cancel all future dental appointments at this clinic. We are left wondering: was this a case of racial discrimination because of our Asian appearance? In any case, today at this dental clinic--Kazmer Periodontics & Implant Dentistry--we endured the worst experience and the most distressing ordeal imaginable!

I was referred to the Fuquay-Varina location by my general dentist for an 8mm periodontal pocket…read more What should have been a straightforward consultation turned into one of the worst medical experiences I've had. First, they insisted on running X-rays they already had from my referring dentist. Then the real pressure started. They would not let me leave the office without scheduling surgery and putting down a deposit. I was not given a treatment plan until I verbally agreed to "consider" the work. The quote was $10,000, insurance covered $2,500, and they expected the remaining $7,500 out of pocket with no write-off. I have a documented sound sensitivity and specifically asked about sedation options -- what would be used, would I feel anything. No one in the office could give me a clear answer. Despite this, they continued pushing me to commit on the spot. The pressure triggered an anxiety attack, and there was zero attempt to accommodate or de-escalate. After the visit, a staff member named Amber called to follow up despite my explicit request not to contact me by phone. She ignored my boundary and told me she would "follow up Friday" and repeated that I "need this." This practice prioritizes billing over patient care. If you're being referred here, get a second opinion first. I refused the deposit and I'm glad I did.

Not sure I would encourage people to go here. All they want is your money. I got referred by my…read moredentist and like many other poor reviews on here, this was a place that was out of network and they assured me that they were the best and that I should get the procedure done with them. I was going in for a gum graft. They wanted to charge me an insane amount (either 3 or 4k). After pricing it out in other locations, this price was inflated and probably not true to market value for the procedure even for being out of network. The staff who greet when you walk in ask you to pay everything up front and they WILL ask you to review them midway through the procedure when you are all numbed up. I would be shocked to see any reviews here that are post-procedure or 3 months to 4 months after. Not to mention when they took 6 months to run it through insurance. I had to call them everyday until someone did anything. The front desk associates might as well be high schoolers, they seemed super immature and lacked knowledge to even do the simplest tasks. Honestly, their place is beautiful on the inside but too bad I'm not going for the atmosphere.

I had a gum graft procedure in Aug 2023 and I could've been advised better on it by Dr Adams. The…read moredonor graft clearly failed but at the time I didn't understand what was happening and I already had a lot of anxiety about it so I was just trusting him. I just felt weird about it and each time I asked him if it was normal he said it was. He even told me at the six week post op appt to "don't worry about it don't look at it just leave it alone" and ever since then I had two dentists and one hygienist tell me that I need gum graft surgery, and when I told him I had it done they were each surprised.. so that was my first hint that I was right, and then they also pointed out things that he said "were fine" were not. I'm about to have the procedure again with a different periodontist that has made me feel like I am heard, not brushed off like a bug off on someone's shoulder. I walked into Adam's office knowing that I had at least three teeth on top that had recession but to my surprise, he only pointed out one so I went with it. This new doctor immediately pointed out the three on top without me saying anything. Long story short this taught me to always get a second opinion and to go with your gut.

Dr. Adams and all of his staff are wonderful. I have been seeing Dr. Adams for about three or four…read moreyears. He has communicated with my dentist and orthodontist regularly. He has listened to me. He has calmed me. His work is superior. The hygienists are friendly, through, and explain step by step what is being done. I have never had to wait, I arrive a few minutes before my appointment and am seen almost immediately. Check out is fast, easy and friendly. I have never been surprised by the cost. I strongly recommend Dr. Adams if you are looking for a periodontist.
