My dentist referred Periodontal Specialists to look at an old crown that was showing signs of decay in the roots. Dr. Daniel Thomas consulted with me about the condition of the tooth and even though it wasn't good news, I am pleased with his diagnosis and treatment plan. I am very pleased with the personalized care that Dr. Thomas has given me and I recommend to go through Periodontal Specialists for their special dental care services.

Dr. Combs and Mirabel are a professional tandem team that is second to none. Had an implant done two years ago, and Dr. Combs did wonderful work. I go every year for a follow-up and I always feel respected and welcomed. Mirabel does a great job of explaining everything that they are doing and really knows her stuff. Dr. Combs always puts me at ease and takes the time to answer all of my questions. I always leave feeling that I have been heard and feeling that I have a solid team behind me for care of the implant, and my teeth in general.

Consistently a superb experience. Dr. Melissa Combs is very knowledgeable, professional and treats patients with the utmost respect and kindness. In addition, her entire staff is also excellent--from hygienist, office manager, reception staff, billing, etc. A very good experience and this does not even take into account that the office has always been pristine! If you need any periodontal work, exam, etc. this should be your first (and only) stop. We sincerely appreciate our experience every time we've had an appointment. The best of the best!

My first experience with Dr. Dan Thomas came from a referral by my Dentist to go see him due to a horizontal crack in my molar on the very back top, left side. That is a hard place for any Dentist to work. I opted for a permanent tooth to be installed which was an 8 month process and I went in about every 6 weeks to be sure my jaw bone was not rejecting it.
Dr. Thomas and his whole staff, especially Alice and Dora, could not have been more hospitable. They always took the time to make sure I was comfortable and pain free. I would highly recommend their practice to young and older people alike

I am an RN who researched Dr’s, read all of the reviews before choosing a Doctor for consultation. Dr Daniel Thomas was very thorough and funny which put me at ease. His staff was very warm and welcoming. I wanted to be as prepared as possible for what to expect after a gum graft so I watched the procedure online. That made me even more nervous come procedure day! Dr Thomas began humming and singing as he begun the procedure. It helped put me at ease so much I asked him not to stop. He sang to me for the ENTIRE PROCEDURE!!! He was phenomenal! I don’t numb easily and he made sure I didn’t

As a long time patient of Periodontal Specialists I am very satisfied with the care I have always received. My last recent visit remained the same with quality, caring treatment by everyone there who are very professional and capable. Comfort for the patient remains exceptional and I recommend them without reservation.

In my 72 years I have had a variety of dental experiences, some excellent some pretty awful and this has been one of the best. I was surprised by how much I learned. The doctor took time with me and explained not just the care plan but also the intricate and complex factors that resulted in my dental issue. Dr. Thomas is a warm genuine and caring professional.

This review is specifically to praise the receptionist Autumn. Autumn has gone absolutely above and beyond her duties as a receptionist and scheduler in helping me schedule a appointments despite a completely packed schedule. She has called me every single time an appointment matching the availability I gave her became available, even after I changed my availability. Thanks to her (and of course the wonderful staff at periodontal associates) I was able to finally get my toothache resolved.
