I thought I'd found the perfect periodontist. All my life I've had "teeth issues", so I've always…read morebeen on the lookout for a better dentist, a better periodontist, and so on. Anything to do with my mouth/teeth was of interest to me. I'm sure I've spent tens of thousands of dollars over the years, and more, keeping up with my tooth issues. Money was not an issue . . . I could always find the money if I could find a person to do the job better for me. This brings me to Dr. Nick Shumaker, with Northern Colorado Periodontic, on Boardwalk, in Fort Collins. I just dropped in one day and chatted with the receptionist about Dr. Shumaker. His office/waiting area was immaculate and he staff all seemed very professional, so, in spite of a lack of reviews or personal recommendations, I gave him a try. At first, his work was great. Beyond great, as a matter of fact. I came to trust him implicity, and liked him personally as well. What he recommended, I let him do. One day, he told me I should have one of my molars extracted, and explained why. He was right, of course . . . it just needed to come out. Well, he did it well enough, *except* that he clipped a nerve or something that has caused major changes in my mouth. I called his office and told them of the problem. It wasn't long before he called me back. He agreed that he had (obviously) done something that he shouldn't have. It's been over six months now, and I keep hoping that the tingling and numbness and constant dry mouth will stop, but it hasn't yet. I gave him two stars because of the decent work he did before the unfor- tunate clipping of my nerve. His work wasn't generally terrible. It's not like Dr. Shumaker is a cut-rate periodontist. From his pricing, I would say he would be at the top of his profession. From experience, I will give him two-stars, nice guy or not. Nice really doesn't matter to me, as it seems to others. Don't care. I just expect the job to be done right, but it wasn't. It just wasn't. My current dentist tells me the problem "might resolve in a year or so". Well, that's just great. (Did you catch the sarcasm there?) I can only hope that it will. In the meantime, I have found another periodontist. (There are over a dozen close by!) I guess time will tell.

Fortunately, by going to Dr. Shumaker or Dr. Paris, you will have helpful, experienced, kind people with you on the journey. The staff, technicians, and dentists are all world class, and will guide you through the process, including the details on what your insurance will, or won't, cover. If you have to have a procedure, like an extraction or an implant placement, you will get a detailed explanation of what will happen, several options for what kind of anesthesia or pain control you'd like, and instructions for post-op care. Getting bad dental news is no fun, no question about it. But having wonderful professionals like Drs. Paris & Shumaker (& their team) to help you through can make a huge difference. I recommend them highly.

My problem is with his office staff. My son went to his office after finding him on 1-800-dentist…read more He said they accepted our insurance. After the first appt I checked and found although they did accept our insurance this office does not accept the exact plan we have as it is a PPO. They gave my son 2 different estimates of the work he needed. I found this all very strange so I decided to call. now mind you he is technically an adult so i didn't give my name I just asked questions about do they explain that they are not part of the PPO plan ETC. They claimed that YES they do tell patients their out of pocket MAY be higher because they don't accept that part of the insurance but really it depends. sometimes they write things off sometime they don't then you would be required to pay more??? NO definite percentage or any definite rules they follow. I said I found that unprofessional and never mind thanks bye and hung up. Next thing I know my phone rings. YES they have caller ID and felt the need to call me back and press their point. I was upset. If I had wanted you to know who I was or wanted you to call my home I would of GIVEN you that information. She then proceeded to try and explain that there is no definite answer and that they had explained this to my son in detail( what detail you don't even know) I told her i didn't want to hear it or argue about it then she started talking about my adult sons case to me. And how they had planned to figure out what they were really going to charge him and have a meeting with him first. They never said any of this to him. I tried twice to get her to stop without just point blank hanging up. She kept saying "just let me explain" I told her I didn't want to hear it and din't want to hear that my questions cause you to react differently to my son. Well guess what 3 days later my son gets a phone call from this woman telling him his next appt is cancelled and to go elsewhere. This office is EXTREMELY unprofessional. They need to be upfront about which insurance they take and HOW DARE they call back someone from their caller ID who never asked for a call back or intentionally gave you their private information. I am filing a complaint with our insurance also.
