Like Father like SonSeveral years ago I was a patient of Dr Jon Peterson. I needed a second opinion and his name came to my mind, to found out that he had retired and enjoying his grandchildren now. However, I learned that his son had taking over his practice. Chris is great, his father should be proud of him! The office does an excellent job to keep you safe. I strongly recommend Dr Chris Peterson and the rest of his team. As we say in Spanish " De tal palo tal astilla".

Dr Peterson is flat-out awesome. Extremely talented periodontist, great chair- side manner, welcoming and efficient staff. While I wish I didn't need a gum grafts, I am so grateful I was referred to him for the procedure. Zero post-op discomfort. Low stress environment. (And when I popped a stitch the first 72 hours post-procedure, the office got me in right away to make sure everything was stable.) Totally recomend!

Edit: Just got the “pre-treatment estimate” and this office straight up LIED about everything. It says “Network: NONPARTICIPATING DENTIST.” They also lied and told me periodontitis is reversible so that i would keep coming back to them. Just fyi; dentists and periodontists make a 6 figure salary.. i’m pretty sure these reviews are bought and paid for, that or they usually don’t deal with people who need insurance; they probably only serve people who can drop $500 on a visit that was supposedly covered. Rich or not, i wouldn’t recommend them. You don’t keep wealth by throwing money in the garbage. Come here at your own risk; these people will lie to get you in the door and they WILL bait and switch you. S K E T C H Y. I want a full refund.Response: Yes i WAS a patient, i don’t use my real name on the internet.👌 And i believe that reviews are being removed from this business. Buyer beware.OG review: Soooo i’m definitely confused about all these good reviews and i’m wondering if they’re fake.Pre-appointment, we asked lots of questions: do you take our insurance? Yes. How much will our first visit be, tops, WITHOUT insurance covering any? $150. Do you do payment plans? Yes. Got there, had the appointment, and AFTER the appointment it’s: we MIGHT take your insurance and we’re not sure how much it covers… your bill is $400+ that is due NOW.. no we don’t take payments on first visits.We’re at a very awkward stage in switching and establishing careers and we asked these questions for a reason.. i feel like we were bait and switched BIG TIME. I had to fight tears on the way out. These people TOOK our money. We’re reporting them to any agency we can (including the Dental Board of CA). I can’t imagine we’re the only people they’ve done this to so i’m very confused about these reviews. This was NOT ok.
