Horrendous experience with Office Manager Marjorie, one of the least professional, rudest office…read moreworkers/people. She displayed a huge lack of curtesy, unacceptable behavior, and provided misinformation. She constantly interrupted, overspoke and hung the phone up multiple times while I was speaking. This is by far the worst person to encounter. Dr Waasdorp may be a good periodontist but she is a nasty, rude verbally abusive person. No one should have to deal with her poor service. In November last winter, even before going for a consult in January, the insurance broker and I had to place multiple calls and emails to her which were not returned on timely basis. She showed a great lack of understanding about the particular plan. No price quote was given to me in advance of my consult and she did not request pre-approval. The fax was broken the day of my consult; M said she was sending in for pre-approval for work by mail. In checking with her week after week, I was told it was mailed on varying days- she said she would check with a supervisor more than a month later and then told me she had not made that call. 7 weeks went by and still the insurance co did not receive a proper request for work pre-approval from her. I told the Dr I never wanted to deal with her and yet she called me again, only to hang up on me when she didn't like that I said nicely he was the only one who could help. Again, she made this into a horrible experience.

It took them months to schedule me and on the phone they said they took my insurance and that it was just a consultation and that I would pay nothing. After they examined me, they told me that they didn't take my insurance and that I owed them $150 for the exam. After telling them about my phone call with their office, they apologized but were otherwise unhelpful. So I had to pay for the exam and now I have to find another periadontist and most likely have to have another exam. They should have told me at the front desk when I arrived when I gave them my insurance card that they did not accept my insurance and it would cost me $150 for the visit. If they had done that, I would have just left. The experience felt very predatory and I would not recommend this office whether they accept your insurance or not.

Azadeh S. Azad, R.D.H., B.S. single handedly restored my faith in dentistry. If this is your first…read moretime having a scaling and root planing done, you need to request her! I am severely afraid of the dentist and the anxiety of going has kept me away for over 5 years; so naturally, you can understand how I got to the point where I would need a scaling and root planing. I called around trying to find who could be able to put me to sleep because I was afraid that I may leave mid appointment if it got too bad. I ended up here because this was listed as being covered by my insurance. A couple xrays later, it was discovered that my gums were in bad shape. This made me nervous and of course, I asked to be put to sleep. I was told that I wouldn't need to be put to sleep and that the numbness from the anesthesia would work. I was apprehensive as I've been told this by previous dentist before, only to be in pain and then to be told, "ok just a little bit longer" which I just don't respect. However, when I first met Azadeh, I told her my fears and she absolutely listened!!!! For a complete scaling and root planing, I needed two appointments. Both times, mid appointment, she stopped to ask how I was feeling and if I needed more anesthesia. The first appointment went so well, that the second time ( I went today), I told her that I didn't need that much. She was so kind but also very thorough. I could hear that she was really getting in there, BUT I barely felt any discomfort! After both appointments she recommended me a specific tooth paste because I have VERY sensitive gums. I've been using that toothpaste ever since the first appointment and can definitely see the results. I can't wait until my check up in a month. The first half of my mouth is already doing much better and no doubt, the second will be the same. Highly recommend :). . The best dental hygienist I've had thus far

Where's the option for 10 stars? If you have to have gum graft surgery (I'm so sorry!), Locust…read moreStreet Periodontics is the place to go and Dr. Seyedain is the periodontist to ask for. Shout out to her right hand Donna and all the women at the front desk who were equally calm, compassionate, clear, reassuring, and kind. (Especially to a first timer who couldn't stop crying in the waiting room before her procedure!) Gum grafts are very technical and you want the best of the best. That's Dr. Seyedain. Not only did she go to great lengths to increase the predictability of my graft before surgery, but she also talked me off the ledge the day-of with the kind of bedside manner that's rare in a busy practice. Dr. Seyedain isn't just patient, empathetic, and an expert at her craft--she is also astoundingly generous with her cell phone number and incredibly responsive during the recovery period. She and her team make an objectively miserable thing much, much less miserable--and 100% worth a rough few weeks. I couldn't recommend Locust Street Periodontics more. Your visits will start on time, your out-of-pocket responsibility will be easy to understand (in advance!), and every touchpoint with the team will be friendly and informative. Even if you're dreading the work you need to have done (and tempted to delay a little longer!), this is the office to call when you're ready.

I have now had one filling and three cleanings in my year and a half as a client and am grateful to have found Blanc for a number of reasons: 1) Flexibility with scheduling and the team here was even understanding when I arrived (I NEVER do this) 15 minutes late to a cleaning. 2) No nonsense "service" with just facts. No additional "selling" of things that has made me feel really scheezy at other dentist offices. 3) Tight knit and kind team that always makes me feel at ease. 4) FAST appointments. Even my filling took less than an hour. Overall the best experience I've ever had at a dentist and this team will have me as a patient for as long as I live in Philadelphia. Thanks so much, team!

Though they had my insurance information and it was billed by Dr. Rice's staff previously, they did not give me a heads up that I would not be covered under the new ownership and I have been stuck with a large bill. (Jackie and the office staff are still great). This strikes me as either dishonest or discourteous, and I'm not pleased.

Whenever I come in for my for biannual cleaning I'm greeted by the friendly receptionist, promptly taken back for a quick but thorough cleaning by the hygienist Jackie, and given a comprehensive exam by Dr. Rice. Unless you have specific issues that need to be addressed, a typical check-up will last you no more than 25 minutes. As someone who has done a fair amount of dentist hopping due to previous dentists always trying to sell me products, the efficient service of Dr. Rice has been a welcome change. One note about the Yelp check-in offer: you will ALWAYS receive a goodie bag with toothpaste, a toothbrush, and floss after every cleaning, regardless of whether or not you check-in. The receptionist was actually very confused when I showed her the offer on my phone as she had apparently never seen it before. Just know that if you'll always get a goodie bag no matter what you do.

My experience with Dr. Brown was frankly the strangest "professional" experience I have ever had…read more First of all, I thought it very odd to walk into a professional office with floor to ceiling pictures and every table in every room covered with his family's photos. I mean this is not his living room and really, do his patients care any more about his family than he would about ours? Not professional, not the place. But that was the least of my negative experience. Although his staff couldn't have been nicer and more welcoming, Dr. Brown was on the other end of the spectrum. He walked into the consultation room and the next thing I know, he told me we had "no chemistry" and that the appt was over. Further, since he would not treat me, he asked if I would like a referral? I was gobsmacked, not able to understand what prompted this extreme reaction. I had no attitude, was very calm and nice. This was so out of the blue and surreal. Although I apologized for offending him in any way, telling him he must have misunderstood me, he was resolute in denying me treatment. He eventually told me it was because I was engrossed in a magazine when he walked in and looked up at first and didn't say hello right away. He assumed therefore that I was not "interested in being there" as if my mommy had to drag me in! That was not all. I wanted a second opinion about my need for scaling/condition of my gums. He told me I was in danger of losing several teeth NOW and that I needed much more serious work than scaling. I walked out wondering where the candid camera was and later that week saw the most wonderful dentist around the corner that he recommended. That dentist said he saw nothing wrong and that I didn't even have to rush to get the scaling done. That was confirmed by TWO other dentists!!!

I actually think people who behave in similar ways as The Perio Group Staff, are amusing. I intentionally extended the visit ( it was just a consultation) so they would have to interact with me longer. After we (my children were with me) got home we talked about the interaction. They said they already knew what the deal was but they didn't care because they wouldn't go back. Don't do it.

They accepted my insurance and even provided a link for financing for which I was approved for !! I was very impressed with the staff and facilities,this was my dream place... What could go wrong??? Hadeer was very responsive to all my questions via email which meant a lot to me... I was a bit apprehensive about the cancellation policies which varies from a $100 to possible up to $8000 or more if you had to reschedule surgery within a month., I was still willing to take that gamble..however I had a persistent cough from mild controlled COPD and after checking with my Dr, he recommended I get clearance from pulmonologist. They were understanding at first but because I would be under twilight anesthesia for 7 or more hours this posed additional concerns... For instance about the anathesiologist and who would be monitoring me while I am under and even more importantly what kind of plan do they have in place if unforseen complications were to occur. It turns out they do not have a anesthesiologist on staff, never answered the question of if a dedicated and qualified staff member would watch over me and what plan do they in case of emergency... They just ghosted me and stopped taking my calls and responding to emails afterwards., I no longer hold them in high esteem, it's all about the money and prestige but I caution whoever go there for procedures like implants to due your due diligence and ask these hardball questions and note their response.... They did not have care or compassion to tell me I am not their ideal candidate, I would be writing a 5 star review instead. PROCEED with CAUTION or you may pay with your life or health...

Leading up to the appointment, I received text reminders as well. For a small business, they are very tech savvy. During my checkup, Dr. Liu sat there and looked at every single one of my teeth with me, top to bottom, front to back, talking about the health status of each of them. His hygienists were booked up that day, and I guess I hadn't made it clear when scheduling that I wanted a cleaning. So instead of making me come in again separately, he did my cleaning himself. He said it wasn't something he usually did, but he wouldn't mind this time. For a doctor to not be beyond rolling up his sleeves and helping out with the grunt work when needed, to me, is representative of a truly good professional who has his patients on his mind. I really respect that. I'll be returning. Would highly recommend this place.

This was incredibly unprofessional and wasted my boyfriends time. They had PLENTY of time to get ahold of him and let them know of the situation. But day of? And so close to the appointment time? Totally rude. He could've found a dentist who does accept HMO and have had his appointment done and over with by now. So I've come to warn potential future patients of this dentist... THEY DO NOT ACCEPT HMO. To the staff... Perhaps you should put this kind of information on your website so you don't annoy and waste other people's time. So careless, even lazy perhaps?
