Christian P. Seda's Online Review Report Card

Dr Seda is simply fantastic. I'm one of the rare people who has been to multiple periodontists and Dr Seda is by far the best. My first gum graft with a different Dr did not go well. Dr Seda showed me all the ways it would be better this time around. I was skeptical but he was right. -More up to date procedure that lasts longer and looks better aesthetically -New technology to speed up healing-Access to him directly with his cell phone # in case something came up I was talking and eating normally within 24-48 hours of the procedure which was not my experience the first time. It was a breeze and now I'm done for life. Everything went so well my wife went to him, too, for a different gum procedure. Not all Doctors are created equal so do yourself a favor and come in. And ignore the other one star reviews about the front office staff. Like every doctor office I've ever been to in my life, there can be occasional issues with the front desk. If you're looking to pick your next gum surgery based on the front desk then you're likely going to end up in the wrong place. I found them very pleasant and enjoyed the ability to schedule/reschedule via text.

It's been a long time (12years) since my last review of Dr. Seda who did an implant for me many years ago (and did an excellent job as I already mentioned). Dental infection is something you always want to avoid around surgery. Until I saw Dr. Seda, I had been bothered by soreness around the implant and it got more noticeable as I was about to have a major operation. I was pretty worried. Dr. Seda and his very kind staff showed me the problem. I wasn't using a specialized brush to clean off bacteria. They gave me brushing lessons and within 3 days my implant felt much better. It was reassuring see Dr. Seda who has an excellent command of his information and knew immediately what the problem was. I want to also mention his approach and that of his staff is one of kindness and understanding. It was just a wonderful experience to be there and have my problem solved in such a nice and positive way right before facing major surgery. Thank you Dr. Seda and staff. You are a top notch dental practice and I am very glad you are in practice.

Dr. Seda is clearly a brilliant man, but it has gone to his head. I was referred to him because there are itchy spots in my gums that have lead to me damaging my gum line by absentmindedly scratching at it. He was so laser-focused on explaining why I need surgery to repair the damage that he refused to consider treatment options to help with the underlying itchiness. His only suggestion was "floss more", which uninspired dental professionals have been telling me to do for years, every time I complain about the itchiness. Thing is, when you tell someone with itchy gums so bad that they have scratched parts of them off to "floss more" and that there's nothing else you can do, you're just signing off on them causing more gum damage *with the floss itself*... and then they wind up like me, needing gum surgery.I tried to explain that to him, along with the trouble I have forming habits (like flossing) and preventing myself from attacking my own gums with the floss, all due to mental illness. Unfortunately, when I did, he literally kneeled down to my level and started talking down to me as if I didn't know what I was doing was hurting me. If you are neurodivergent or mentally disabled like me, steer clear of this man. He may say he's an ally, but he clearly doesn't understand what it's like to live with our brains.

If you're looking for someone who cares and who can acknowledge when they've made a mistake, definitely look elsewhere... After visiting multiple websites and reading countless reviews, I concluded that Dr. Seda was for me. I sent an appointment request at the end of October and was told that the earliest appointment available was January 4th. This would mean that I would forfeit my 2020 benefits and put off an already dire issue with my gums, but I thought it would be worth it considering the glowing reviews. After a few emails, I received my appointment confirmation along with a promise of a call if there were any cancelations. I never received a call about a cancelation, so I showed up early to my appointment in anticipation of filling out paperwork, etc. The receptionist (Michelle, I believe) came out, asked for my name and told me to wait. She came back to let me know that she saw my name and phone number, but that I was not scheduled for any appointment. I explained that I did indeed have an appointment that was scheduled over two months ago (how would she have my name and phone number?). She said something about a staffing change and started interrogating me about who my dentist was, where my x-rays were, what my issues were, etc. and then told me that I should really go see a dentist first. Wow. As it was becoming clear that she had no intention of trying to rectify the situation, I pleaded with her letting her know that because of my traumatic dental history, it took a lot for me to work up the nerve to make the appointment and I was in desperate need of help. She said the doctor had other appointments and again suggested that I go to a dentist first. At this point, I was in shock because I couldn't believe that this is how they were handling such a huge mistake on their part. She was treating me as if I was an imposter who somehow managed to get an illegitimate appointment! I left in tears and disbelief. When I got home, I forwarded the entire email conversation that confirmed my appointment and five days later, I have yet to receive a response. So incredibly disappointing.

Had a great experience with an extraction and implant. No pain and no swelling. And Dr Seda has a very warm, caring and competent vibe.

Thank goodness I was referred to Dr. Seda for an implant infection. From the initial visit to the surgery, everything was explained, questions answered quickly and treatment plan excellent. He understood my fears and did everything possible to alleviate them. He even called later that day to see how I was doing. Just a joy to deal with. Hope I don't have to see him again, but if I do, Dr. Seda is the guy.

I wrote a positive review back in 2017 and here I am again. Dr. Seda continues to be the dentist/surgeon I go to with my dental issues and each time I'm reassured that I'm being handled in the best way possible. He is caring, intelligent, and very experienced in what he does. His staff is warm, friendly, and helpful. It's a great feeling to be so well taken care of and I appreciate it greatly!

I highly recommend Dr. Seda and the whole team for excellent, professional, competent, efficient, cutting edge care. And they are all kind, cordial and good communicators too!

Dr. Seda and his staff were highly recommended to me by my dentist. Michelle and Melissa at the front desk have made it very easy for me to schedule appointments, both with their busy schedule, and my own. Dr. Seda has a lovely manor about him and gets my sense of humor! What's not to like?!

Dr Seda... what can I say about him in his office that has an already been said? I walked into their office not knowing what was going to happen with my teeth or the periodontal disease that I have. He perform such a wonderful laser surgery on my gums to save my teeth that I no longer have any issues or the worry of losing my teeth. His hygienist go above and beyond each cleaning that I have had in the last two years. His office staff has always been accommodating and kind to each of my needs. I sincerely suggest when you're looking for a good periodontist that you go here first and last.Theresa Vollmer
