WHAT OUR PATIENTS ARE SAYING

“Exceptional quality and patient care! From the moment I stepped into Dr. Nygaard’s office, I knew I was in excellent hands. The staff is amazing and genuinely care. Over the past 2 years, Dr. Nygaard has preformed 3 gum grafts and restored my entire lower gum line. My journey with them began after being referred for a rather complex oral surgery, and admittedly, I was fraught with anxiety about the procedure. However, every aspect of my experience turned out to be nothing short of exceptional, meriting a well-deserved five-star review.”

Rebecca

“I would not trust my gums to anyone else. I even get my cleanings done at Dr Nygaard’s office as often as I can because their hygienists are so gentle and aware of the particular issues with my gums. They offer great education on preventative steps I can take to supplement their treatments. I’ve had gum grafts done at 3 different periodontist offices in my life and Dr Nygaard and her team are wildly more competent and compassionate than the others I have worked with. You will not regret making this your periodontist office of choice!”

Angela

“Dr. Nygaard and her entire staff are a distinguished group of human beings and professionals. My experience was an exceptional demonstration of professionalism, promptness, kindness, and interaction with a well informed group of qualified personnel. I highly recommend seeking their care for most your periodontal needs…and more!”
