I can't recommend Cal Young Periodontics Center. If you need any sort of perio work done that…read morerequires slightly complex billing, find someone else. My dentist referred me to Cal Young Perio due to an under the gum line cavity that was inaccessible without having my gums lifted and bone shaved. Dr. Harper recommended a gingival flap surgery to access the area. The nurse taking notes in office asked the doctor to confirm if this was the right procedure. I should've taken this as a bad sign. I later found out the procedure I likely needed to be performed and billed was a crown lengthening procedure. Same results, different procedure. Why he chose the procedure he did, I'm not sure. He's not too informative in office. Either way, the surgery and recovery went well. Once healed, weeks later, I returned to my dentist to have my cavity filled and was informed none of my records were sent back to them. My dentist had to contact Cal Young while filling my cavity, which ended out being pretty awkward, while I was in his chair. Unfortunately, dealing with billing is like pulling teeth. While I understand that insurance companies can be a pain, my insurance company mentioned that the procedure was incorrectly billed and they advised me to have Cal Young Perio's billing rep to call in and discuss codes. When I contacted them about this issue on 12/16 over the phone and I was informed that: 1. Dr. Harper was not likely to change his notes and 2. they'd call the insurance company and call me back. Cue radio silence for over a month when I received yet another bill from them. When I called my insurance on 1/26, they confirmed that Cal Young hadn't contacted them (which makes sense, considering the quality of communication I've received). When I contacted Cal Young again, I was informed that they forgot to contact my insurance (not at all reassuring). On 1/27, I was informed that they spoke with my insurance, but that they would not rebill and appealing was not an option, since the procedure was not framed as one done to access the cavity, but as one to aid with gum pocket reduction (which it was not). Unfortunately, I don't think there's much to do. I'll pay the $800+ and be okay with the fact I should've researched better and found a perio that would try to bill the right procedure with supporting documentation correctly. As a person who's had a lot of dental procedures done, due to an accident, this has been the worst experience I've had with a dentist, even during my time in the military. There's other perios in town. Give them a try!

I can't say enough nice things about Dr. Harper, his staff and the overall ambience of the place…read more I am neurotic when it comes to getting any dental work, which is the reason I self referred instead of going through the normal process of seeing the general dentist first and being referred to a periodontist. So yay me, for skipping that unnecessary step. I went in yesterday because I had some pain and a gum recession from a piercing I had for many years. I had an infection and due to the severity of the bone loss and recession, Dr. Harper gave me two recommendations; the first being to save the tooth at a much lower cost than to go the implant route. I'm almost 12 hours after my surgery and I have minor discomfort, which is much less than what I expected and much less than what I felt before my visit so I have no complaints. Long story short, I had my surgery this morning. Dr. Harper and his assistant (I can't remember her name, but she had great eyelashes!) had the BEST bedside manner, making sure I was comfortable at all times. They spoke to me on a personal level and we joked around. Not that having dental work is fun, but I didn't have a bad time. The facility looks like a house on the outside and is extremely nice on the inside. Very clean!

What a fantastic dentist. After researching all the options in Eugene, OR I chose this one because…read moreof his desire to use the best materials for any dental work. Think of him as an organic, vs. a conventional farmer. Instead of offering you the super cheap pesticide chemical-ridden tomato, he has gone out of his way to find the best quality organic tomato from an organic farm stand that tastes delicious and is actually good for you. There is a cost difference, but you are getting a different service. This one will support your health and immune system. And (as a recent transplant from Los Angeles), his pricing is really not that crazy at all. So, if you are sold in his method of practicing, you wait until you visit. The staff are incredibly friendly, you are made to feel super welcome. When you are in the chair, everything Is explained to you in words you can understand AND they go out of their way to ensure you are comfortable. The facilities are super clean and spotless. (I have seen some awful dental practices in my time) and finally, when you are all done and ready to leave, I was offered the carnation in the picture. Now I cannot guarantee they'll give you a flower every time, but for a business to go above and beyond like that, they deserve a solid review explaining how much they care that you have a good experience. I am a paying customer with no affiliation to them. Go support them and your health of you and your family. You will not regret it.

Dr. Wicker and his team were good to me in the beginning. I really enjoyed the teeth cleaning and…read moreWicker is a master with the drill. So bonus points for that. My husband went to his appointment after me and they were completely different with him. Very pushy and aggressive about what he needed and he felt bullied. My husband is the sweetest and kindest human being and did not deserve to be like this. He came home upset and stressed out. And that's no way a person should ever feel after visiting the dentist. I called later to reschedule my cleaning as this was one of the reasons that I signed on with them in the first place. They were always able to get me in in reasonable time. They mentioned that they always have room for their clients. Instead, they told me that they didn't have another appointment for 6months, making it clear that they couldn't even put me on a cancellation list. My takeaways: Their prices are extremely high, double and triple the going rates. Insurance generally not accepted or rather insurance won't pay because of their exorbitant rates. They are very aggressive and pushy. They are not as accommodating as they claim to be. They use the terms holistic and wellness in their description, which is attractive to those of us looking for what would be a more natural approach, but they are inauthentic when it comes to what you really need. Unfortunately, I can not recommend this dentist office.
