Rochester Reviews

After thousands of dollars, 6 trips, 5 different people, over the course of 9 months, I have little improvement to report. I didn't completely bomb the review because everyone is very friendly. However, quite inefficient. Very bureaucratic. All I wanted was 1 person to clearly explain an effective solution and execute it efficiently. That's not what I got. I got the runaround. Disappointed to say the least. Would recommend taking your business elsewhere.
I have very high dental anxiety and everyone in the office was so kind and understanding. Dr. Kristy Johnson explained me well about my gums. It was great experience to have. Thank you
Vanessa is my hygienist. She is informative and is gentle when cleaning my teeth. The insurance lady was very helpful as she looked into my coverage and explained it to me. The office called me back to schedule my next appointment, as we forgot while I was in the office.
I was really impressed as soon as I walked into the door. Everyone was so friendly! That means everything to me. The office is also so beautiful. They got me in and out fast, great experience (:
Dr. Wolfe and Chloe were a personable, professional great team. The overview consultative exam and then discussion of their observations and recommendations was polite, calm, and educational. The front office staff were lovely. Thank you.
Dr. Wolfe and his staff are the BEST ~ very knowledgeable and caring!

I have been going to Peridontal Specialists since 1998. Since then my dental health has improved greatly. I have 2 implants and a tendency towards gum disease. I owe my improved dental health to them.
Everyone was so friendly. Hygienist did a very thorough job and a plus is they accept Delta Dental plan.
Very welcoming from the receptionist to to the hygienist. They made me feel really comfortable, answered all my questions. It’s very uncomfortable for me to talk about my teeth but they made that so easy for me. Thank you to everyone who has helped me along the way.
Procedure went well. A little sore. It was chilly in the room during the procedure. This is only phase one of two phases. Just wished they were a preferred provider. A little on the expensive side but they insisted it needed to be done. Staff were great. Very helpful and insured questions were all answered.
Owatonna Reviews
Everyone from Periodontal Specialists is commended for their top-notch service that is welcoming, friendly, and professional from my initial visit, dental surgery, and throughout the recovery. Thank you!
I actually showed up on the wrong day for my appointment and they graciously got me in to be looked at. I was very thankful and they were extremely friendly with this unexpected appointment.
Dr Wolfe and staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely recommend them. Betsy did an excellent job cleaning and checking my after surgery progress. Thank you all
I knew I was in good hands as soon as I arrived at the office. Dr. Wolfe and his staff performed a thorough exam in a kind and caring manner. All aspects of my procedure, as well as the costs, were fully explained.
Thankful for the top notch care I received from Dr. Wolfe and his care team! They were exceptionally attentive, informative, professional, fun, and kind. I live out of the area and had an hour drive each way to get to them, but I’d drive across the country for this team!
So grateful for Dr. Thomas Wolfe and his staff. I received excellent care at their facility. I had a procedure done and they made sure I was comfortable, even got a nice warm blanket, everything was explained throughly and all my questions were answered! The day after my procedure I got a personal call from Dr. Wolfe checking up on me! Would recommend their staff to anyone and everyone! Thanks for the great care!
Red Wing Reviews
Dr Johnson and her assistant could not have been more kind! Also very very knowledgeable! Thank you for making my experience so calm.
If you need periodontal care, this is the place. I have been a patient for over a decade. The genuineness of the staff from front desk to hygienist to Dr. Johnson is outstanding. They make you feel comfortable, worthy, do a great job and will tell you how to give you guidance on how to move forward and/or maintain!
Amy really took the time to thoroughly go over everything. She also answered all my questions and made me as comfortable as possible. Thank you
This office is a very friendly place. The entire staff are professional, considerate and kind.
Dr. Johnson, Amy and Tara were wonderful from the start! I was anxious about my appointment and their friendly and caring attitude was a huge relief for me. They made me feel comfortable and I am glad to be in the care of skilled professionals.
The office was busy but that didn’t stop the staff from greeting me and saying they’d be right with me. Jamie and Dr. Wolfe we’re amazing, they were so informative and thorough in their delivery of the treatment I needed. My first experience here was great.
I was happy with my experience. Brittany did a very nice job of explaining different details and helping me. I was very impressed with her. Doctor Johnson also did a nice job of explaining details to an implant. the only negative was the length of the wait in the reception area.

From the initial consult to the final appointment, the staff is so friendly, helpful and patient. They go over all of the details thoroughly and answer all questions about financing, pre and post surgery care respectively and always with a smile!

I am very pleased with the very professional work accomplished having gum surgery.
They did a very good job on my teeth no pain during surgery with all of their instructions I had a easy recovery. Thank you Amie and Dr Wolf you were awesome.
I was nervous and anxious prior to my surgery. When I entered the office the morning of my surgery, that all changed.
Wonderful, personable and professional people. The care and emotional support
was just what I needed. The surgery went well and now I'm not worried about the 2nd half of my process.
My deepest thanks to all at periodontal

The staff made me feel welcome. I was asked in-depth questions about my health history. The doctor's examination was thorough and his explanation of a treatment plan was understandable. My mind was put at ease that the issue for which I was referred could be put right.
I had an appointment for a consultation. The staff was friendly, courteous and open to questions. Dr. Johnson was extremely knowledgeable and gave me a thorough exam, with her advice always leaning toward what was best for me instead of rushing into surgery. Highly recommended.
Winona Reviews

I would highly recommend Periodontal Specialists!
1) Melissa (Winona) clearly covered the options, pricing, insurance with doing one appointment (all teeth in one sitting), or spreading things out over two appointments... and got me scheduled in Rochester for an earlier appointment.
2) Dr. Kristy Johnson and surgical assistant Danielle (Rochester) were great. I would recommend the valium option, it is very relaxing and no negative side effects. Jule (Rochester) was very helpful with post-op questions I had in the first few days.
3) And finally, Chloe (Winona) was great in the post-op appointments answering a multitude of questions and providing do's and don'ts.
The entire team does a great job and they very upbeat and encouraging.

I have had visits at both the Winona and the Red Wing branches, and in very possible way, they were truly wonderful experiences! The staff is incredibly welcoming and warm, knowledgeable, and communicate clearly and effectively. And, the recontouring work done on my gums turned out absolutely beautifully! I am incredibly happy with my experiences and wouldn’t go anywhere else!
The front desk gal was friendly and welcoming. My hygienist was top notch, gave me information and encouragement and did a wonderful job cleaning my teeth. I always look forward to my visits at Periodontal Specialists.

I appreciate the professionalism of all staff as well as their concern. for making it as comfortable as possible. Dr Kristy is very reassuring and spells things out clearly. She never rushes you if you have questions
It was a great experience. Their communication before, during and after the extensive work I had done was terrific. They had cautioned me about possible post op issues, and I had none. This is just my situation, but no post issues at all. That’s a wonderful experience. Dr. Johnson and staff were amazing to work with.
I highly recommend...I had some shotty work done in California, flew all the way back to Minnesota to have a doctor I trust look at it! I wished I had gone here in the first place which would have saved me allot of $ and pain!
