Utah Periodontal Specialists South Jordan

Fantastic experience: Dr. Atkin has been 100% committed to this difficult process and I really appreciate him and the staff. I will be back for the rest of my gumline.

Negative experience: I work as a dental assistant and I came to see Dr. Nielson to examine a hole in my gum that came from a popcorn kernel piercing the tissue about 5 months ago. When he came in, the first thing he did was put on a mask, gloves and glasses, then he proceeds to rub his eye with the same gloves he used to examine my mouth. I didnt really say anything because I am a people pleaser to the extreme. It just so happened that I got two canker sores a couple days later where he touched the inside of my lips by the way. Then, he proceeds to perio probe and got five and six millimeter pockets depths all around my mouth. If you don't know what that means, 1-3 mm is considered healthy, meaning 5-6 is periodontal disease territory. I was very confused as I had just gotten a cleaning at my office 2-3 months prior and there were no concerns. I brought this up with the office i work at (2 hygienists, 2 assistants, and 2 general dentists) and they gave me the same look like "No...that isnt right". One of the hygienists perio probed me again and got 1-3 mm and 4 mm near that area where I had the hole in my gums. He didnt even zero in on that area with the hole, he didn't even address it, then he had me schedule a deep cleaning with their hygienist to take care of the "periodontal disease". After I brought this up with my office, I canceled the cleaning and went to another periodontist at a different location who gave me a completely different opinion and did a gingevectomy instead. I wouldnt trust this location again, maybe a different doctor, but not Dr. Nielson. Suspicious.

Fantastic experience: I’ve had two pretty intense procedures here and couldn’t be more happy. The staff is friendly and professional. Billing is transparent and simple. And I can’t go on enough about Dr Braden. He is exceptional. I wish he could be my doctor for everything. But he can’t.

Fantastic experience: I needed a skin graft done and was very nervous. Dr Nielsen did a great job easing my fears. He did an excellent job with the procedure. His assistant was kind and helpful. The front desk staff are always friendly and helpful. I am amazed that they remember my name.

Fantastic experience: Excellent facility and staff. Will add more to my review after healing from my procedure but so far zero complaints

Fantastic experience: I have always received excellent services and results from Utah Periodontal.

Fantastic experience: The care I received in this office was exceptional! Dr. Atkins and his his team are top notch. Everything was explained in very clear detail. All questions were answered. I would highly recommend going to Dr. Atkins and his wonderful staff. He's the best!

Fantastic experience: My experience was good. I definitely recommend Utah Periodontal Specialists, I have been going there for years

Fantastic experience: Dr Atkins did a professional surgery on me and I am pain free. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Dr Atkins does really high quality work at a fair price, my dentist even commented on how great my first gum graft turned out. Dr Atkins was also very accommodating in fitting me into his schedule last minute for a day that would be convenient for me. I'd highly recommend Dr Atkins.

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of Dr. Knight’s for over 20 years. This was my first time at your facility in South Jordan. Since I live in South Jordan I decided it was time to try this facility and was not sorry. I had great care and service. Janae was great…forgive me if I got her name wrong. And I will be returning in 6 months.

Fantastic experience: Dr Knight is the best! He explains everything about the procedure and is skilled periodontist! Plus he’s the nicest!

Negative experience: Dr Atkins is great and was highly recommended. The front office and financing department struggles in communication and lacks any shred of compassion. I will compliment them on their ability to collect money. My fiancé had to get a front tooth pulled, bone graft placed, root form implant placed, temp crown for 4 months and then a permeant crown to finish her situation. With her "affordable" insurance, this was multiple thousands out of pocket. Her insurance situation is of no fault to this office. What stood out most was the lack or flexibility or compassion when discussing payment options. Given the high cost, she was hoping for some willingness to work with her, but that didn't seem to be the case. This made an already stressful situation even more frustrating. Dental procedures are not just medical-they're a financial decision too, and patients deserve transparency along with understanding. The policy she was given for a payment option was rigid. Not everyone fits into a set policy. The office does not understand or exercise any options of flexibility depending on an individual's situation....so be prepared. She was advised that after the bone graft healed for 4 months (this means a soft food diet during the 120+ days) a permanent crown would be placed. What was not communicated, was the fact that she would need to go to another dentist to have the crown placed. Dr Atkins does not do this. Imagine scraping by to meet the demands of paying over $3300 out of pocket, changing your diet to meet healing demands only to be told at the end of 4 months that more money and more time is needed for the final result, but find somewhere else to go for this. "Sorry, we don't do that here.". What's general knowledge in the front office at Utah Peri Specialists (South Jordan) is not general knowledge to the general public. Yes, she was forced to sign an estimated treatment plan. This did itemize things. It's one thing to see a sheet of paper with overwhelming medical terminology and many dollar signs. It's another thing for someone that knows this language to break things down and clarify the process of a major procedure. That is not too much to ask. It's a simple task to eliminate a huge negative impact of someone's quality of life. Dr Atkins has taken the Hippocratic Oath and honors this. A patient's well-being is not top priority for those on the front line in the South Jordan office or those in their financial dept.

Fantastic experience: It was a much easier experience than I thought it was going to be. I really didn't experience any pain at all in the office...including the numbing shots.

Fantastic experience: Staff made me feel at ease.

Fantastic experience: De. Knight placed my implant today and did an excellent job!! As a patient with dental anxiety, I couldn’t have asked for a more patient and professional doctor. Dr. Knight is an expert in his field and I would recommend him to everyone. Also, Eric and Carma did an excellent job in assisting with my surgery. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!

Fantastic experience: She did a great job and explained to to me in great detail

Fantastic experience: Great service and really professionalism

Fantastic experience: Always good treatment at Utah Perio...I particularly appreciate that the Dental Hygienist noticed that I had an implant follow up appt next month and was able to have Dr. Nielsen examine me today, thus saving me an additional visit. That was very thoughtful. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: My experience here at Utah Periodontal Specialists in South Jordan has been exceptional. They have been comforting and helpful throughout the process of having an implant replaced. I feel really good about the process not being rushed and making sure it’s done right.

Had my second treatment yesterday and again Dr. Jeffrey Knight was kind and did a great job took very good care of me and was concerned about me during procedure.Thank you and your staff for all your work and time.

Fantastic experience: Kindest people all around. Excellent care and explanations. Thanks for helping me

Negative experience: I was overcharged for a procedure that my dental insurance said I should not have been charged full price for. I tried to get reasoning from these guys of why I was over charged. They'd just say that in the state of Utah they can charge you full price. Which my insurance said they couldn't. They refused to refund me. My insurance had to call them multiple times to explain to them why they can not charge me full price. They ignored me and would not work with me. Took a year for them to refund me after my insurance called and talked to them. They still did not refund me the full price. Their office manager and finance people are not kind and will not work with you. They wouldn't call me back or would continue to say they were busy. I feel they should be investigated for insurance fraud.

Positive experience: They were very understanding of my needs,and the process was done with no real pain,don't understand why they don't show all your options?

Fantastic experience: I had my semi- annual cleaning today and as usual everything went well. The dental hygienist was amazing and extremely patient while I was on a hold call with Medicare, who ended up hanging up on me after holding for 40 minutes! I’ve been going to this office for several years and everyone in the office is professional and kind. Dr. Nielsen is fantastic and I always know I’m in good hands and he treats me fairly. The office is exceptionally clean and I appreciate everything they do. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Nielsen and his staff took great care of me on each of my visits. He is a very skilled surgeon, answers questions clearly, and works to make you feel comfortable. After each of my procedures he’s been available for any post surgery care concerns. For when the unfortunate happens and a periodontist is needed, I’d recommend him/his staff.

It’s hard to find care givers with the accessibility, kindness and technical knowledge and I recommend them to anybody who needs their services. Thank you to the team!!!

Fantastic experience: Utah Periodontal Specialists are amazing! I would highly recommend them! Dr. Knight and his staff made my gum graft surgery manageable and less painful. I didn’t feel any pain during the procedure. They are great and answered all of my questions and concerns!

Fantastic experience: Dr Adkins is a Superb periodontist. The assistants are competent and provide great service. The office staff are great to work with as well!

Negative experience: The doctor was amazing but their billing office is a joke! We paid amount quoted in full day of the procedure. Got a bill saying we still owed over $200 8 months after the procedure. After several phone calls with the office and then having to call my insurance several times I was notified by our insurance company that the office had submitted the codes incorrectly. Rather than attempting to fix the situation the billing office said they would contact my insurance company and get back to me. Ended up not hearing anything for another 3 months and then was called and told they would be charging finance charges on the remaining balance. We are now 18 months out from the original procedure still trying to fight the office to fix their original mistake. I would definitely find another office if you have options!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Atkins was very professional and experienced with fixing gum and bone issues related to our teeth. He explained what was wrong and why he would pursue the treatment he had in mind in the ways he would do it. He also answered all of the many questions I had as I tried to wrap my brain around what the underlying problems were and why other periodontists might do things differently. I felt very informed to make my decisions after talking with him. He also offered me a time-saving option at no charge that I wouldn't have done if not for this offer. It is obvious he really cares about each patient and wants to do his best by them.

Fantastic experience: The doctor was very thorough with explanation and answered all my questions. The quote was done very fast and was very convenient. His scheduling options were very good.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Knight is amazing, he listens, knows how i feel and what ive been through and he makes it he best experience possible.

Negative experience: Called before I went in for a periodontal exam. Was advised I was in network. Completed the exam then proceeded to tell me I wasn’t in network, so I went to another provider that was in network. I get a statement two months later for an exam they said was covered. I paid the bill, $170 wasn’t worth the hassle, but had to leave a review, so hopefully this doesn’t happen to you. Got me in there by saying they were in network and wasn’t and also told me the exam was covered. Nice people, but wouldn’t recommend them to anyone. Hopefully this helps you make a decision.

Fantastic experience: I had Great experience, they were very Professional, and Installed two Implants. I Highly recomend Utah Periodontal Specialists.

Positive experience: The people were very professional and kind and good. It’s just that it is really really sore and painful even with the norco tab it doesn’t help a lot and my doctor does not want me to take ibuprofen because I’ve had an acute kidney injury couple years ago and wants me to stay off of ibuprofen but other than that, the people there were very nice and professional.

Fantastic experience: Easy to get an appointment. Great dr

Fantastic experience: One of the best periodontal cleanings ever! Also learned something new to add to my daily routine!

Fantastic experience: Dr Atkins did a very good job on my upper left jaw and fixed my bridge.

Negative experience: They charge 4-5x more than other periodontist. The staff worked on my insurance estimate was impatient when I pointed out the high charge. The same staff messed up my appointment for my first visit.

Fantastic experience: Dr Atkins and his staff are the best. They are extremely friendly and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: My name is Rose and I personally give Dr Atkins and his staff 55555555555555555stars. They will be my gums doctor from now on and forever. I will keep them.

I was shy for the first appointment but it went away!!Smiling and greeting up front is the key and their professionalism . I am so grateful that I found them. They had good review too. Very clean environment. Thank you so much for everything.i will be back for my next treatment for sure.

Negative experience: Multiple billing problems that gone on 8 months after the procedure. Came to me multiple times with additional money due. I paid hundreds more than what was quoted. Not a good experience.

Fantastic experience: The dentists there are amazing and very knowledgeable of what they’re doing.
