“Excellent oral surgeon, very professional, friendly and down to earth. The staff is excellent and attentive. Great experience.”
Monte V.May 30, 2023
“I was greeted by a smiling friendly staff.
Dr. Bak is a very kind person. He gave me options for my treatment as I was concerned about cost. I needed treatment to be completed within 7 days. I felt relieved to know that he was able to get it done in my timeframe and budget.
I still have more work to do and he is the only person I will let do my dentistry!

Dr. Neema performed a gum graft for me. The procedure was painless. My gum and teeth look really good and he fixed the gum recessions. My teeth were really sensitive and since he did the graft, the sensitivity is gone.

Dr. Neema is very kind and caring. He carefully listened to my concerns and answered all of my questions with patience. I felt comfortable to be treated for implants under his care.

I know Dr. Neema since I was referred to Perio Clinic for getting 2 implants for my front teeth. I think he organized everything ahead of time and knew what he is going to go. The surgery was not painful or was actually painless. I was happy with the temporary teeth and after 3 months I got the final teeth and I like them. He is a caring and knowledgable clinician.

I received a gum graft done by Dr. Bakhsalian . He was very gentle and took good care of me from the beginning. The surgery was very quick and I am very satisfied with the result. I no longer have any reaction and the sensitivity I used to have is gone.

Dr. Bakhshalian is a very enthusiastic doctor who gives a lot of time and attention to his patients. He listened to my chief concern and made sure to address all my fears and questions. He is very talented and very informative. I would recommend him to anybody!
