What People Are Saying

Always able to fit me in! Good follow up on appointment reminders and let me know of new technology of using laser for periodontal surgery.

—Anonymous
My experience with the service provided was professional but at the same time friendly making me feel less anxious at what to expect. I liked the manner of sharing what the issue was and ways to address the problem in language that I could easily understand. The office staff was also very friendly and helpful in making my visit as pleasant as possible. Thank You!

—Marjorie Lenz
The care was tops. The care was superb. I had some periodontal surgery on Tuesday. It may sound a bit corny, but it nearly felt like I had been to a spa. I felt so comfortable before and after the procedure. The staff is the nicest you will find anywhere. Then later in the evening the doctor called to see how I was doing. How can you top that?

—Gladys
Excellence as usual. Another excellent health care experience! Your office has provided me with 35 plus years for excellent care!!

—Rita

—Russell
High Quality Periodontal Specialists in Rochester Minnesota made me very comfortable for my Laser surgery, and called me the next day to see how I'm doing! I really liked that.

—Tim W.
Patient-oriented services The word 'professional' sounds cold and clinical to me so I won't apply it here. Each one of you are warm, welcoming people who are knowledgeable in their various capacities. You are able to communicate well and I so appreciate that. I don't even know what questions to ask sometimes and you answer most often before I think of them. After having had extensive work done at your office I feel that we are taking care of my teeth together. Thank you!

—Leslie S.
I appreciated the professional approach that Dr. Wolfe and staff demonstrated in determining the treatment needed for my dental problem, the very detailed explanation given as to what was necessary to try and resolve this problem, and the individual steps needed. The professional aspect continued on the day of treatment, and was very reassuring when the time was taken to give me complete postoperative instructions for a successful recovery at home. I highly appreciated Dr. Wolfe's call to check if everything was going well the day after surgery. Feel so fortunate that I was referred to Periodontal Specialists!

—Rita
You all (entire staff) are the best. I have always received the best of care and attention. I have been a patient here for many years and plan to be for many more. The hygienists and doctors are top notch.

—Gladys Carlson
Excellent periodontal care! I have been going to Periodontal Specialists since 1998. Gum disease put my "numbers" in the 5-6 range. They did surgery to re-attach the gums to the teeth, and a subsequent graft surgery to replace gum tissue that had receded. They taught me how to do twice daily care to ensure the gum tissue remains healthy. They continue to monitor twice annually, and adjust my home care as needed to keep my numbers in check. I see them every 6 months for a cleaning and evaluation, and still see my regular dentist every 6 months. I believe that Periodontal Specialists has saved my teeth and improve my overall health. I look forward to another 20 years with them!

—Jeff
I would like to thank Dr. Johnson and the entire staff at Periodontal Specialist in the Red Wing, MN office. They were fabulous! I had a medical complication that required extra research and additional procedures. Dr. Johnson took a lot of additional time to explain the issues and kept me informed every step of my way. Nine months later I am happy to say that my dental issues have been successful resolved.....thanks to Dr. Johnson determination, knowledge and special care. I would highly recommend her and the staff at Periodontal Specialists in Red wing.
