I am so impressed with the quality of Dr. Parris's work. He is the consummate periodontist and explains what he is doing while he is working rather than keeping you wondering what step in the process he is on. I had some work done at my dentist, Dr. Turk, (another wonderful clinician) who is next door, and Dr. Parris conferred and gave Dr. Turk some excellent advice on a difficult case on a tooth way in the back that an oral surgeon a few years back had done an implant on. Dr. Parris is brilliant and highly professional. So appreciative of him. read more

Dr Parris is a master at pain control during gum surgery and I love his staff. I continue to get my cleanings with Lori years after my surgeries. I have found them to be professional and compassionate. I believe that they have recommended the correct care and provided that care very well. read more

The people who work on your teeth are amazing. Dr. Parrish did a great job on my surgery. So, why the one star? Their billing department/insurance specialist ruins everything. She never calls you back. Instead, someone who is super nice but has no idea what is going on calls you back. They tell you the surgery will be $X and, "if your insurance company pays anything more, we'll give yoU the difference." Then you're surprised to get an additional bill from them for just short of $2K afterwords. You ask them why the additional cost. They say that the insurance company didn't pay. I called the insurance company who tells me, "we will pay we just need these documents. We've sent the doctor multiple notices requesting these docs, but they aren't responding." It'll take at least a dozen phone calls for you to get the doctor's office to send those documents to the insurance company. In the meantime they continue to send bills it's with "past due" handwritten on them and they even have the audacity to charge you interest!! Once I could finally get them to submit the docs to my insurance company, my insurance paid immediately. It wasn't my insurance company that was the issue; it was their office. Such a shame. read more

I was scheduled to have a skin graft done this morning along with an another small procedure by Richard Parris. I decided to do it without Anesthesia but rather with the strong pain pills. Once I arrived Dr. Parris began numbing my mouth with multiple shots .. (which is usually the worst part ) I was whining a bit during the process. Which caused Dr. Parris to stand up and tell me "You Don't Shut Up!" "She needs anesthesia," he said. I said ok then when? And will you be covering it? He said NO. (Anesthesia is an extra $1k added to the procedure) I was interested in finishing the procedure without it.. he immediately left the room and retreated to a back office. Crying, I got out of my chair completely numbed and drugged. I was given a refund for the money paid upfront but not all the fees which will be billed later. He hid in the back office peering around corners while I stood there waiting to speak with him one last time about how his actions and words affected my experience. One of the ladies who sat it on the procedure reaffirmed me that I did in fact here him correctly. His actions were rude and unjustified. Dr. Parris acted extremely unprofessional and arrogant. The worst part is that my family dentist was the one who referred me to him, and she has been our family dentist all my life. I hope Dr. Parris sees this. You need to go back and get your Doctorate in Patient interactions. Very unimpressed by your attitude. Not surprised to see similar stories. read more

I have been a patient for over 13 years. Because the staff and Dr Parris have had my best interest in mind, I have been able to keep all of my teeth. They are honest and professional. They have done a wonderful job educating me and assisting me with my dental care. Dr Parris is kind and gentle. He never recommends unnecessary procedures. He's very conservative and genuinely cares. read more

Dr. Parris is great! He really takes the time to walk you through your treatment options and fully explains his recommended treatment thoroughly. You really feel like he cares about you! His staff is incredibly warm, welcoming, and professional. I cannot recommend him enough! read more

To make a long story short Dr PARRIS is very rude and unprofessional. He spoke about me to his staff without addressing me personally. I thought it was bizzare, but his unprofessional demeanor continued thru out my visit to his office. He seemed bipolar to me one minute he is telling a joke, the other minute he is cranky and snappy. I had a very bad experience overall in his office. I also had to wait for an hour before I was seen by him. I took the appointment about a month in advance. I will never go back or recommend him to anyone. read more

I would give negative stars if I could. I am a physician who has had more schooling and post-graduate training than Dr. Parris ever did. But I never waste my patient's time and treat them like dirt like Dr. Parris and his staff did to me. Everybody's time is important, regardless if they are the President of the United States or a down on his luck homeless man. Everyone should be treated with respect. I was referred to Dr. Parris by my general dentist to evaluate my gum disease. After much effort, I was able to schedule a time away from my busy clinical work to get an appointment. About 2 hours before the appointment, I received a text message from Annette (phone 714-***-*051) that "the Dr is out." I was instructed to call back to reschedule. There was no apology and no reply to my texts. This basically tells me that the office thinks that their patients are dirt and their time means nothing. If Dr. Parris doesn't feel like seeing his patients, then it's the lowly patient's problem. This is Southern California folks. There are an abundance of all subspecialties of medical and dental practitioners. Please don't give this guy and his staff your business. Driving him out of business is the strongest message you can send them. read more

I have been getting my teeth cleaned here for about 15 years. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and kind. They always make it easy to book an appointment, help me with my insurance, and explain every detail of what is going on in my mouth! Very professional and they do really care about your health. When I needed to find a new dentist, they referred me to someone that Dr. Parris trusts and I was very happy with his recommendation. If you need someone who knows what they are doing, whose an expert in gums and bone, will give you an honest opinion, and not charge you an arm and a leg come here! read more

every time i have come to the office, i have been greeted by the entire staff with very welcoming arms. the service and comfort levels are expected to be the same every time i come in. i'm not the most comfortable at the dentist, but i'm very comfortable with dr. parris and staff. i highly recommend this dentistry for anyone in the orange county area. they are very flexible with my busy schedule and always have smiles and good attitudes whenever i come in. their many years of experience is very trustworthy and rewarding to my bright smile at the very end. plus, its affordable and easy to work out payments. give them a call !! read more

I came to Dr. Parris 's office in need of a connective tissue graft. The front staff were very welcoming and I barely had to wait. Dr. Parris and staff were very informative about the procedure, post and pre op. The experience was a breeze and I felt no pain. The post op was as they explained and I returned a few times for check up on the surgery area. Every visit I had they were very nice and helpful on answering all my questions I had on what the healing process should be like.. I have return since then to DR. Parris office for cleanings with Linda. Linda has been a GREAT! help on improving and maintain my oral hygiene by demonstrating techniques and giving me tips. I would recommend Dr. Parris and his staff to anyone needing a connective tissue graft or cleanings. read more

I've been going to Dr.Parris for a few years off and on. My regular DDS. referred me to him for some specialty work. I've always had a good experience. The staff is always very friendly and helpful - especially Vanessa who goes above and beyond.....thank you Vanessa! One thing I really appreciate is how Dr.Parris explains what he is doing as he works. They are very gentle also. I would highly recommend them! read more

Well let's just say I don't even yelp, however, I know that my community deserves to know what happened in this doctor's office. I originally was referred by my dentist to see Dr. Parris. My initial exam went well. I had most of the appointment with Vanessa his assistant. Vanessa is kind and caring and spent a lot of time educating me about gum surgery. Dr. Parris was cordial on the first encounter and although my encounter was him was brief but satisfactory. I went back yesterday which was 7 months from my first consult. I was talking back and forth with Vanessa on monthly basis, not only to schedule the surgery but to discuss finances. My interactions with Vanessa was amazing. However, yesterday, my appointment was at 9 am, but I waited till 9:50 to be taken to the back. I also waited an additional 10 minutes until Dr. Parris came in. As I proceeded to ask him some questions about my procedure since I forgot what they told me originally, he started to seem irritable. He shoved his stool back and asked the for Vanessa to go over everything else with me. to make a long story short. He refused to answer any further questions from me. He seemed irritated that I had questions. I also think that he was very rude and disrespectful, as he never addressed me he just looks at his staff and yell our orders. He proceeded to numb me and I felt some sensitivity in the area so again I just wanted to communicate with him. He then again, pushes himself away from me and stand up and tells his staff that they need to reschedule the appointment I need to be fully asleep during this procedure, better yet send her to another doctor. Again, he never addressed me once, he talks about me to his staff while I was in the room, which I found very condescending and disrespectful. Now I can only guess he was already running behind an hour and with me simple few questions, it even put him further behind. I am so disappointed with his behavior. I literally left the office almost crying, as I had to clear my entire schedule just to accommodate this surgery, however, I can deal with the lost time, but I cannot tolerate rude disrespectful behavior. I absolutely warn anyone form going there. I do understand that he is an older gentleman, but I think it is time to retire, no one deserves to be treated that way. I also felt a sense of abandonment when I left his office. I hope this was helpful in some for you guys read more
