What patients say

Vibe: modern

Ridge Periodontics receives strong praise for clinical excellence, painless procedures, and compassionate staff care (6 five-star reviews emphasizing skill and comfort). However, two one-star reviews highlight serious operational failures: excessive billing for basic services, poor appointment scheduling responsiveness, and problematic insurance coverage verification. The practice excels at patient comfort during treatment but struggles with administrative efficiency and insurance coordination.
