To say I'm frustrated would be an understatement. I scheduled a consultation for my 11-year-old…read moredaughter regarding an expose and bond procedure for an impacted tooth, and we waited nearly a month for this appointment. I took my daughter out of school and provided the necessary X-rays from our orthodontist, only to be informed that additional images were required. After finally seeing the doctor, I was then told that this office does not offer sedation for children and that we would need to go elsewhere for treatment. While I appreciate being informed of this, I am incredibly frustrated that this critical detail was not discussed when I initially scheduled the appointment. A few simple questions at the time of booking could have saved us both time and money. I was unaware that not all periodontists offer sedation, and this lack of communication made the experience feel misleading. To add to my disappointment, I was told--without any real concern--that I was still responsible for the estimated consultation fee, despite the fact that the office was unable to provide the necessary treatment. This entire process was a waste of time and money, and now I have start over with a different provider.

Dr. Hamal is excellent. I came to her with an emergency...She discovered extensive root decay where…read morean older molar crown had popped off after the second time it was cemented (by a previous dentist.) It was a difficult case. She was surprised I had not felt more discomfort from the infection before coming in. She worked for quite a while to remove all of the decay, as it was a hot mess. She kept the area pain-free for me during the procedure. (And...bonus...I had more energy once my body was not fighting that infection.) Afterwards, she presented me with options about what I could do next. I opted for a dental implant. Her wonderful, efficient staff presented me with an accurate estimate, explaining how and why any treatment charges were slightly more than my dental coverage. (It's nice to know this information in advance.) Again, each subsequent procedure was painless. In my case, there was minimal swelling and bleeding. I'm sure each patient's gum condition and healing outcome is different, but I would trust Dr. Hamal to be able to navigate those differences. She is practical, empathetic, forthcoming...an experienced, skillful professional. I highly recommend her.

My father and I recently visited East Columbus Periodontist, and unfortunately our experience…read morestarted off on the wrong foot. When we arrived, an employee named Doris Vest was attempting to pronounce my father's name, Berhe, and instead referred to him as "butthead." She claimed she was joking because she couldn't pronounce his name, but I found that comment disrespectful and unprofessional, especially in a healthcare setting where patients should be treated with dignity and respect. I immediately requested a different staff member and was assisted by Bella, who was kind, professional, and completely changed the atmosphere of the visit. I also brought the situation to the attention of Austin and Dr. Maria because I felt it was important for management to be aware of what occurred. While I appreciate Bella's professionalism and the office's willingness to switch staff members, the initial interaction left a very negative impression. Patients should never feel disrespected because of their name or background. I hope the office addresses this issue and provides better customer service training moving forward.

I had some reservations prior to my appointment but the experience was really good…read more Located on Brice Road there is plenty of parking in the shared lot. The office is upstairs in the professional building. Go straight up when you walk in to the second floor and through the door. Check in is at the window on the left. We did some x-rays and during the visit I felt heard and was a very welcoming atmosphere. Dr. Kreitzer reviewed dental health concerns and did and an overall evaluation. He talked through the options and clearly explained. The staff and everyone I spoke were great. Treatment plan is pricy and a more than anticipated but am confident in what we need to do. They don't offer financing here but can help guide you through iCredit. Scheduled treatment a few months out so will update once I am done.

Today, I had the surgery to clean out the area and put bone stuff in there. I was worried, but a call to the office eased my worries. It didn't hurt a bit, even after the numbness wore off.

This is a recommendation is based over a decade+ appointments, procedures, services, and interactions. Dr. Lowe and the staff have been simply amazing and I couldn't imagine going to another dentist. Dr. Lowe has an excellent bedside manner, is very personable, and he and the entire team focus on patient care. Special shout out Missy and to my excellent dental hygienist Melissa who are part of the care team. Dr. Lowe & team offer the best personalized and comprehensive care. I personally do routine cleanings, X-rays, and fillings here. I have even had deep cleaning services, an acrylic flipper made, and then an upgrade to a metal partial for two missing teeth. I know I am in great hands here for oral health and care. Dr. Gavin is newer to the practice and was able to help out with an emery filling and I have nothing but highest regards for her as well. In summary, absolutely recommend and I can't imagine going to anyone else.

Dr. Blank did gum recession surgery on me about 5 years ago. I was so scared to have the procedure…read moredone because I had a friend who told me it was the most painful experience of her life. Apparently Dr. Blank works magic, because it really wasn't a painful procedure in the least. He did a wonderful job, and I would recommend him/his practice to anyone. I still have appointments on a yearly basis for them to check my gums, and the staff is amazing. The office is a bit small, but it is clean and efficient. As a side note, Dr. Blank is really a funny guy. He prides himself in being the self-proclaimed "best" at what he does. I won't disagree with him, he's pretty amazing!

Recently had a scaling and planing procedure done with Dr. Alan Levy. He not only has a wonderful…read morebedside manner (very kind, gentle, cheery and funny) but he has been an oral surgeon for 30 years and he knows his "stuff!" I was very afraid of the procedure (blood and gore and pain) and he assured me that there would be very little blood, that he would give me numbing shots for the pain and that the pain would be minimal after the procedure. The numbing shots did hurt a bit (when doesn't a shot hurt, right?) but as soon as I was all numb, he went to work and expertly did his procedure. Afterward when I was getting ready to leave, I noticed a bigger bit of blood and mentioned it and he put me right back in the operative chair and looked into my mouth to discover a few blood clots that he suctioned out. Bleeding practically non-existent after that. Pain level was low enough that I didn't need to even take Tylenol. His office is efficient, clean and a nice place to be if one has to visit an oral surgeon. I recommend him unreservedly.
