I hate the dentist, so going to a periodontist was something that I really did not want to do. From the moment I arrived and was greeted by Pam (who offered me tea and coffee), I was able to relax. The whole office staff from Pam at the front, to the assistants, to Dr. Rappaport were warm, gentle, and welcoming. They explained everything that they were going to do BEFORE they did it, so I always knew what to expect. It was obvious that they wanted me to have a comfortable and (relatively) pleasant experience and everyone at this office does their best to make this happen. My experience here was so much better than anything I had worried about it being. Not only that, but Dr. Rappaport is conservative when it comes to care. For my issue, he left the decision up to me but recommended doing nothing except monitoring it and addressing it if it got worse in the future. He could have recommended costly and painful procedures instead, but he chose instead to wait and see. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who has to go to a periodontist. Dr. Rappaport and his staff are AWESOME!!!
