Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Disappointed
When I walked in I didn’t see anything about periodontists. Instead they were showing laser treatment to the face for fine lines and sun damage as well as small moles on the skin with testimonials. My appointment was at 11:30 they called me back around 12:00. He did explain about Lanap but the price was very high. I was very disappointed.

Great Staff
When I checked in with the receptionist let me know immediately that the doctor was running behind schedule. While sitting in the waiting area, my husband and I started doing some tongue twisters, and the receptionist joined in. Next thing I knew another patient (who was asleep and waiting) joined in on the fun. The receptionist was so kind to print off more tongue twisters. We were having so much fun the time just flew by. Not only did they make the atmosphere fun, they were still very professional. The office is beautiful and clean. Dr. Cain and his staff are awesome!!! The amount of fun and laughter we had in the office was worth the wait.

Above and beyond
Dr. Cain and his whole office did a great job! They got me scheduled quickly and then at my appointment he assessed the situation and crafted a treatment plan to address the issue with my implant. The laser treatment was quick and painless. I highly recommend Dr. Cain and his team if you need periodontal or implant care.

My visit experience was successful and smooth.
The planned procedure was carried out without delay. I believe my next schedule will work the same way.After the surgery, I briefed on what to do and it worked.

Excellent Periodontist Dr. Cain
I currently had my second implant done by Dr. Cain this morning. He did the first implant a few months ago. The procedure was easy & pain free . Dr. Cain's surgical expertise, the belief in keeping the patient informed before, during and after the surgery, and the amazing follow up care and the great outcome. The day the implant was done, I had no pain at all. I never took the pain medicine given. I have had no difficulties at all. I have appreciated the professional and personal touch from Debbie, Dr. Cain's assistant throughout the first implant process. Today's procedure was the same as the first one. Easy and pain free. I have appreciated the professional and personal touch from Dianne Dr. Cain's assistant throughout the second implant process. If you need the expertise of Dr. Cain and his team do not hesitate or delay seeing him as you will be in 'Excellent hands' and I can't say enough about them. I would recommend Dr. Cain and his team to anyone! Thank you Dr. Cain and all!
