He is a GREAT periodontist, who exemplifies a distinctive level of knowledge, kindness and, superb medical care! When I visited Dr. Sweiden for my consultation and examination, he was explicit as he explained my treatment options and the specifics of implant surgery. As an added bonus, Dr. Sweiden's staff are all very friendly, helpful and extremely prompt. Everyone made me feel comfortable about the procedure, and all my questions were answered. I was impressed with the warm atmosphere, and the attention you and your staff give your patients. It makes my visits to your office a very pleasant experience. Indeed, your attention to detail in both terms of preparing patients for both pre-operative and post-operative care is beyond reproach. Your written instructions were most precise, and I was well aware of how to properly prepare for my implant surgery, and your post-operative care instructions were extremely comprehensive. As an added bonus, my post-operative care instructions were provided in a gift bag, and I was delighted that my package included limited medical supplies and, as an added bonus, a gourmet soup. It was a welcome gift and a very thoughtful gesture. Certainly, Dr. Caesar Sweidan pays attention to his patients needs. I write this letter with sincere gratitude to thank you for being kind and caring and for taking such good care of me. During my implant procedure, I was completely at ease. St Tammany Periodontics is an ELITE professional organization, and I highly recommend your office to anyone in need of periodontal care. Please know that the biggest reward for a thing well done is to have DONE IT! I am pleased with the outcome of my procedure, and I thank you for being my periodontist! Sincerely, Dennis J. Saucier

Horrifying experience. Can I leave NEGATIVE 5 stars instead?…read more I'm sharing my experience in the hope that it helps someone else. Last Wednesday, I went to Aspen Dental in Covington Louisiana off Hwy 21 for a simple cleaning and to have a painful tooth checked. After waiting over an hour and a half, I was taken back for about 10 minutes of X-rays and then left waiting again. When the dentist finally came in, he barely looked at my X-rays before telling me I needed a root canal on my front tooth, which wasn't even the tooth I came in complaining about. When I clarified that the tooth behind it was hurting, he seemed flustered and said, "Oh, I don't know then. We'll need an expert opinion." Excuse me, isn't the dentist supposed to be the expert? Especially after taking all those X-rays? I realized he had only mentioned the wrong tooth because I accidentally called it a canine when I meant premolar. It felt like he was going off what I said rather than actually paying attention to the X-rays. The only thing he repeatedly seemed concerned about was making sure I took the survey afterward and reminding me that he worked for Aspen Dental. I was also told they would work with my insurance and offer a good payment arrangement. That did not happen. When I finally spoke with the financial representative, I was quoted $2,000 for a "special" cleaning when I had asked for the cleaning my insurance covered. Then, because they believed I might need two root canals, I was told the total could be around $8,000 more, meaning approximately $10,000 just to get started. They also prescribed me amoxicillin for what they believed was an infection. It made me violently sick for an entire week. I couldn't sleep because I was terrified I was going to lose two teeth or need expensive root canals. When I questioned the financial representative afterward, she became extremely defensive. Thankfully, I got a second opinion from Dr. Hobgood at Algiers Dental Associates, as recommended by my brother. I should have gone there from the beginning. After examining me, Dr. Hobgood found that none of what Aspen Dental told me was happening. I had a minor abrasion on my tooth caused by grinding. No cavity, no infection, and absolutely no need for a root canal. Instead, he did a simple and beautiful resin patch for $57. My tooth looks great, I'm no longer in pain, and he was absolutely worth the hour-and-a-half drive. To make matters worse, while taking the unnecessary antibiotic, I became so sick that I passed out at a movie theater concession stand this past Saturday and twice more while trying to make it to the theater. My eyes rolled back, my legs gave out, and I became violently ill afterward. Whether it was an allergic reaction or another reaction to the medication, I believe I should never have been prescribed it in the first place because I did not have an infection. I went from being told I potentially needed $10,000 worth of dental work and medication to treat an infection I didn't have, to discovering I needed a $57 repair. Thank God for Dr. Hobgood and the entire staff at Algiers Dental Associates for giving me an honest second opinion and treating me with respect. I will not be going anywhere else for dental work. Shame on Aspen Dental for the experience I had. Please, please get a second opinion before agreeing to expensive dental work. Based on my experience, I would strongly encourage anyone considering treatment there to ask questions, review their options carefully, and get another professional opinion before moving forward. It made a world of difference for me.

Lovely dental assistant. Dr was engaging. Sounds perfect, right? WRONG! After the x-ray and exam, and impressions, it was time to pick my teeth. They brought me to Kiran. She hands me a tablet and pronounces these are the dentures the dentist feels is best suited to me. The price, well OVER $5000.00! No option, other than work with 3rd party financiers. I said when I called it would be $1000, and her response was no one should have told you that. Not until she saw her sucker slipping away did she UNCOVER the poster board with other options on it. This place lacks integrity and Kiran absolutely lacks character and customer skills. She is horrendous! Her attitude is like this is your choice at 5K. Take it or leave it. We left it. I will take my $1000+. elsewhere. I hate dishonest people!

Then their was an additional procedure not covered in the initial upfront cost that wasn't talked about. After the procedure I was given another bill for $480 that the insurance didn't cover that they said they would. I have been in contact since this moment with Barbara the billing lady, telling her I've escalated this four times with my insurance company and waiting on a resolution. I have informed them every step of the way that this is still being worked on. I also asked for medical records so I could try to file with my health insurance - records were printed but they wanted to charge me $37 for these records. I asked if they could file and the Dr refused to use medical codes to be able to submit to my medical insurance but said I could try if I wanted to. With the delay I asked about a payment plan so I could pay off this debt and if insurance eventually paid, I would be reimbursed. I asked Barbara to remove the late fee her office has added on their own billing system and she denied the request. Saying it will accrue late fees until it is fully paid off- I told her this is an insane policy and I'm trying to pay $480 and we are arguing over $7. She then tells me I will now be sent to collections that she's had enough of this conversation. This has been the most difficult, lazy, and unprofessional staff to work with and they overcharge for procedures and nickle and dime every step of the way when you try to resolve an issue

I live in New Orleans but will drive the 40 minutes to this office in order to receive the best, most effective / long-lasting treatment possible.

(One of the biggest problems with root canals is the possibility of infection lingering and recurring issues.) She and her staff go above and beyond to make sure your treatments are done perfectly and accurately. In addition, the office space is cozy and makes you feel comfortable in an otherwise uncomfortable situation. In the treatment room, there is extra padding/memory foam on the treatment chair and blankets are provided if needed. You leave the the office with a soup or protein shake, anti-inflammatories, and a recipe for later. The office provides bottled waters, hot drinks, and snacks to make sure you and your family have what you need. While these amenities are not necessary, any doctor going above and beyond what is required has my and my family's business.
