Simply outstanding. Friendly, professional, efficient, effective, fast. I have been to this dentist three times and I never wait. They value my time as much as I do! The quality of this practice, and the superb customer service they provide is rare in today's world. You won't be sorry you chose them.
Most of the doctors and dentists I have seen over the years make me wait in their office for longer than I would like and then treat me while they are treating 2 or 3 other patients. When I went to see Dr. Seda for a tooth extraction and some other work, I was the only patient he was working on. He was very focused, professional and most importantly, went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable. My case was particularly difficult as the tooth being extracted fell apart and had to be removed in little pieces. Dr. Seda was very careful to make sure all the tooth fragments were removed and took the time explain each part of the procedure. The end result was he did an excellent job.
Not long after my extraction, my youngest son needed to have a tooth pulled. My son is very sensitive and is a very difficult patient for any dentist. WIth this in mind, I brought my son to Dr. Seda and became quickly impressed with how Dr. Seda put my son at ease. He was able to remove the tooth from my son and in such a way that my child looks back on the experience as "fun".
I usually do not write reviews of doctors' services but felt compelled to do so after receiving such excellent care from Dr. Seda. Unlike many other doctors I have experienced, I believe Dr. Seda's highest goal is to improve the health and well being of his patients. I will go back to Dr. Seda the next time I have a dental problem requiring the expertise of a periodontist.
I had gum surgery about 12 years ago plus this time around I consulted two other surgeons, so I can make a good comparison.
The initial consultation was several steps beyond any of the other dr's. Presented the options, benefits, risks in an informative logical way. Besides providing good information, I felt that he actually cared more about my health than my credit card. There were no scare tactics and hard sales techniques. It was refreshing that he only spoke like a professional. Even if you don't end up using him, it is very worthwhile to have a consultation with Dr. Seda before you have surgery.
Surgery itself was smooth and results were great. Appointments were on-time to the minute, staff and office are nice.
But, what set Dr. Seda apart was the extra stuff: personally calling me several times to check-in after surgery, seeing me 1/2 hour before his regular start time so we could get my initial checkup in the right week, feeling that he actually cared, not pushing me into doing additional work that I may or may not need.
Highly highly recommend.
I can't rave enough about Dr. Seda. Everything about him and his staff is absolutely the best. If you are in need of a periodontist or implants, this is the ONLY office you should contact. I have needed immediate care, and they have always found a way to fit me it. I would rate him six stars if I could!
Dr. Seda is a phenomenal periodontist. From the beginning (with the initial consultation appointment), I felt very comfortable with him, for a variety of reasons. First, he spent time with me explaining in great detail each facet of my dental scenario and the potential options available to treat it, always ensuring that any and all questions I had were addressed.
Second, he laid out the options, including their respective costs, in a way that made it clear that he was not trying to sell unnecessary services to me. It's evident that he cares about doing top-notch work and isn't willing to do less than that; but, it's also obvious that he doesn't buy into the notion that the best option is necessarily the most expensive.
Third, I very much appreciate that Dr. Seda is an empathic and communicative human being with me. This seems to be an increasingly rarer quality among many medical professionals, so his care and attention are particularly salient, and appreciated.
Lastly, as a person who tends to be somewhat needle-phobic, I can honestly say that my entire extraction and implant procedure was simple. Truly, other than the tiny prick of the initial needle (for novacaine), there was no pain throughout or after the procedure. I was actually relaxed throughout the surgery, listening to the ipod he handed to me before he began. It has now been a week since my surgery, and my healing & recuperation have both been 100% straightforward. I've needed no pain killers, and was able to get back to work immediately.
His administrative assistant is also very helpful, with scheduling as well as with insurance-related matters.
Refreshingly different from many other dental clinics, and top-notch in every regard! Highly recommended!
Dr. Michael Seda is an amazing periodontist. I was extremely satisfied with his care. He is a master communicator. He explained to me what he was doing at every step in the process. That was very reassuring. He was concerned about my comfort throughout the procedure. My comfort came first, and his tasks came second. He combined a professional demeanor with accessibility. He built a great deal of trust in a very short time. When I had a concern several days after the procedure I called him and he listened with great intent and addressed each concern. Dr. Michael gets my highest recommendation.
Amazing periodontist; skilled, professional and essentially pain free. My dentist was impressed with his fine work. And, who calls you at home after hours to check on you? If you need an implant, Dr. Seda is the best choice.
Dr. Seda is wonderful. I was referred to him by my dentist for an evaluation regarding my gums. He is an excellent communicator and made me feel very comfortable with his explanations. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a periodontist. Now I finally understand what is going on in my mouth (good to know). His office staff is very friendly and professional also. Thanks!
he is fabulous!!! attentive, talented, up on the latest technology, i would highly recommend him - i am a squeemish dental patient and had NO problems at all - thank you Dr Seda.
