Dr Hamal helped me resolve some gum issues- a frenectomy and gum graft. I was quite fearful of…read morethese procedures, and she took time to explain them to me and keep me comfortable. She did a great job, and my dentist said her work was "beautiful ". I appreciated her professionalism and kindness. Great experience at her office! The front desk staff was also very personable and attentive. I liked her calming decor and "spa music". I would go back to her again and recommend her to my friends & family.

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.

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.

The periodontis was excellent but the front desks is worthless. I have been waiting over 3 weeks to…read moreget an appt. They said they would call me back and crickets. I had a problem with them over insurance last year. They didn't input the correct insurance number and it took weeks before my bill was figured out.

The wonderful peoples at this office saved the day again!! I am new to the area and had a bridge…read morecome lose about 2 months ago...then just the other day I had a crown pop off. Both times I had no insurance and I knew I would have to pay out of pocket. Both times they took me in right away.. I was in and out, no problems! Pretty affordable and everyone was really nice and professional.

I have had 4 appointments with this dentist, and I have some mixed reviews, this location for me…read morewas like having a brand new escalade with a engine, but needs some new tires, and sparkplugs. I came on my first visit I was completely impressed by the atmosphere, they even have charges for your cell phone if you need it. I sat down in the lady kept asking me if I have insurance, I informed her that I did but she keep asking as if she didn't believe me. Then Kelly took very through x-rays and she knows how to put you at ease as if you are at Disney world. The people here are great, but some rough patches with communication. It was discovered that I needed a lot of work done, including a root canal, which I feared would be the case. So I set an appointment to get this done, but I set an earlier appointment to get the crown done, so that I wouldn't lose the filling I had from A previous time. So when I can to the appointment, the lady said okay, I understand we are doing a root canal, and clean the left side of your mouth. and was confused because I was there for something completely different, I think one of the things that should be done is have something written out which plan of action is being taken at each appointment, so their is no confusion, especially in cases when their is a lot of work to be done. They made it work with my insurance, that is the thing that I am most grateful about this place, Dr Papp is legendary, I have a maybe a handful of dentist in my life, and from my experience, he is truly, a cut above the rest. when I went to my 4th appointment, the root canal that final got done, was a supper-smooth process, he dialogs great with customers, and he is world class. If you get a choice I would go With "big papa!" That's what I call him in my head. This location doesn't discuss preventive care much with patients, so it is important to make sure you ask them, to keep the work they do intact. If you make an appointment, they will not leave you in the dark, the with email you and text you often to remind you, so they have great follow-up, But If you can't make an appointment let them know because they have a big customer base They bake cookies fresh every day so they definitely make an effort, to make a great atmosphere, But just a few things to work out.
