Patient Testimonials
I would like to thank you again for the excellent care that you and your staff have provided. As I mentioned before, I have had periodontal surgery before (over 20 years ago). The experience with you and your staff was so much better, that I would highly recommend it to anyone considering this type of procedure. The use of the laser was so much faster, less painful, and the healing process was so much faster. Not having to deal with stitches, packing, and the extreme discomfort, made this such a better experience. Please feel free to use me as a reference to anyone who is having concerns about your laser procedure.

My name is Cynthia and Dr. Ortiz-Ramsey performed LANAP surgery on my mouth a few weeks ago. It was amazing! There was no pain associated with this procedure as with conventional surgery. I was able to eat and drink shortly after surgery. I have experienced no pain and would highly recommend and DO this surgery to anyone who needs it. Dr. Ortiz-Ramsey and her staff are very caring and the office is very comfortable with all the updated amenities. I enjoy going to the revisits to check on my post-op surgery. She is a true professional who genuinely cares about her patient's needs and oral health. Her assistant Jenny is just as warm and inviting as Dr. Ortiz-Ramsey. I have had conventional surgery before and traditional cleanings and X-Rays. This surgery and after care is like night and day. It was if I had no surgery at all. I appreciate the exceptional care and concern they have all exhibited. I would recommend Dr. Ortiz-Ramsey and her staff for any procedure you may think of having. I promise you will leave happy and smiling from her office. She will see to it!

I am excited to have this opportunity to share my experience with Dr. Ortiz and her staff, to do that I first need to start with a not so good experience. I was diagnosed by my dentist with periodontal disease and was recommended to a dental surgeon in the area. On my first visit being apprehensive about the surgery I choose just to have one quarter of the surgery done. So I went in for surgery on the lower right side which entailed them cutting my gums, cleaning the tartar off then 3 stitches. They sent me home with pain medicine prescription, which I had filled. I went home took the pain pill and was in bed the rest of the day. The healing seemed long and uncomfortable and needed to take the pain meds throughout the next week. The discomfort from the stitches was very irritating until they removed them 10 days later. Before I was able to schedule my next appointment, I received the bill and realized that they never told me that they didn't accept my insurance. Shocked and very upset, I went on my own to find another doctor, and that is when I found Dr. Ortiz at Advanced Periodontal Center. From my very first phone call, I was treated excellent. Dr. Ortiz and her assistant Jenny were so caring and accommodating, they felt like old friends. I was offered bottled water and even watched TV from the dental chair during my procedure. Dr. Ortiz explained the laser surgery in detail, and let me know what to expect while the laser was working. I was quite impressed with her knowledge and 10 year study of the benefits of laser surgery. I liked the idea that the laser only targets the dead tissue, leaving all healthy tissue with no cutting or stitches. The laser was much less invasive than the other surgery. I had the whole left side of my mouth done in the same time as it took for just 1/4th with the other surgery, with no pain during or after surgery. I did not need any pain meds after the laser surgery, just ibuprofen and antibiotics. I actually felt well enough to do some grocery shopping on the way home, and could barely tell I even had surgery the following day. I can't stress enough that if you are in need of periodontal surgery, that laser is the only way to go and do yourself a favor and go see Dr. Ortiz, you won't be disappointed!

My name is Carl and I had the LANAP surgery a few weeks ago. I was very apprehensive about getting this done because over the years I have become more sensitive to pain at the dentist's office, however, I took a happy pill right before the surgery and had the nitrous gas during the surgery and to my delight, the surgery was virtually painless. Shortly after the surgery, I was back to eating (except for chips, nuts, and popcorn) and doing the things I normally do. Dr Ortiz-Ramsey and Jenny the assistant were very delightful and professional (plus Jenny will keep you laughing). I've been told for several years that I needed gum surgery, however, my wife had conventional gum surgery a few years ago and the pain of this surgery had me scared to death to do it. The bottom line is the LANAP surgery is the bomb!
