Fantastic experience: All aspects of my visit were excellent. Dr. Driver (Eric) was kind, compassionate & thorough, recommending what was the best solution for my issue. Everyone was friendly & welcoming. Awesomeness!

Fantastic experience: The first time in my life visiting the dentist, I felt relaxed, certainly a sense of relief that my upcoming removal of a tooth will be accompanied by anesthetic! Childhood dental trauma ( PTSD) has been a cloud over me, for my childhood dentist refused to use pain killers. Talking with Dr. Driver was very enjoyable and I appreciate the time he spent sharing the process he’ll be applying.

Fantastic experience: Everyone was friendly and professional. They explained everything to me and made sure I was comfortable. Great experience.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Lagos is amazing. I have been there on multiple occassions and each time they took care of me like family. Dr. Lagos and his staff fully explain what is going on in my mouth, what my options ate and what they recommend. THey are great!

Fantastic experience: This is one of the best offices I have been too. Dr. Lagos and staff are so kind and accommodating

Fantastic experience: My experience could not have been better!!!! Friendly professional knowledgable staff. Very welcoming.

Fantastic experience: It was like visiting old friends. Eric is the best. A repair plan was described and the cost was not a shock. VISIT THEM FIRST BEFORE YOU DECIDE. AS I told them: let's do this!!

Fantastic experience: I am very pleased with the quality of service that I received at Lagos Periodontics and Dental Implants. Their patient care is outstanding.

Fantastic experience: I love Lagos periodontists. Staff smile and help and explain things very well.

Positive experience: Overall good experience, however little issue with appointment time. I had 8 & they had 9. Not sure how that happened.

Fantastic experience: Dr Driver and his staff are very nice! He made me feel very comfortable! I couldn’t be more pleased so overall my experience was amazing!

Fantastic experience: I was in for a dental hygiene appointment in conjunction with my ongoing treatment at Lagos Periodontics. Treatment began on time and the hygienist did a great job with the scaling, ensuring that I was comfortable. It is clear that they have a coordinated, team approach to care. The office is modern and comfortable with state-of-the-art treatment rooms with friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Fantastic experience: Always highly professional, never too busy to fully explain what he sees. Hygienist Sheri is a pleasure to work with.

Fantastic experience: Dr Driver and the staff are the best. All my questions were answered. Feel comfortable I am in good hands for future dental work.

Fantastic experience: Excellent evaluation by Dr. Driver who told me the options I had without any pressure whatsoever to buy in to a costly option unlike some corporation owned practices where there's a push for an outlay of money for dental work that isn't needed or the best option. I highly recommend Lagos Periodontics. I don't know the other periodontists there but Dr. Driver is tops.

Fantastic experience: I BROKE A WISDOM TOOTH AND HAD SHARP ROOTS REMAINING. LAGOS PERIODONTICS REMOVED THEM IN ONE SIMPLE OFFICE VISIT.

Fantastic experience: Dr Driver is excellent. Very timely and extremely efficient.

Fantastic experience: Very professional, fully explained all options and performed the work perfectly.

Fantastic experience: Well organized and efficient office. All relevant personal info was collected before my visit and I was seen by the doctor on time. No long waiting, Dr Driver is knowledgeable and excellent on laying out the issues with what will ultimately be an implant surgery I plan to have done, and making sure there would be no surprises in what is a multi visit procedure. I was very pleased with my visit.

Fantastic experience: This practice is a gem of the Coachella Valley, and they take one's oral health very seriously. They have the experience, expertise and equipment to respond to ones needs. Their intake process was thorough and when completed, the results were presented by the Doctor, in writing, with a follow up plan, as appropriate. They have earned my trust.

Fantastic experience: Needed a wisdom tooth extracted and Dr Driver was flawless as well as painless!! Done and dusted in less than a half hour.

Fantastic experience: Dr L replaced a bungled implant by a Kaiser-referred dentist who fled the country last year, leaving me with an unfinished and badly placed implant that had not even drilled into my jawbone. I'm still trying to recover the $6000+ I was required to pay up front. Recommendation: don't go to a plan dentist for an implant! Go to a specialist like Dr. L. It's worth the extra cost to get the job done right the first time. I have had my extracted #26 tooth missing since November 2024! Will be another few months before the implant site heals and we can place the actual crown.

Fantastic experience: Competent, honest and fair - Dr Lagos and staff are terrific!

Fantastic experience: Had to have a tooth extraction for the first time ever and I was super, super nervous and concerned. Almost terrified. Dr Lagos and his staff were extremely supportive and helpful. And very concerned about calming my nerves. Extraction was stressful for me but I felt I was being well cared for. Follow up visits for my implant have been great and less concerning. I would highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: Very caring, kind and professional. Explained in detail all about the process. All staff was very personable.

Fantastic experience: Great service . Dr.lagos amazing he explains everything well detailed and answers all questions .

Fantastic experience: In addition to the best dental professionals, the office and surgical facilities are extremely well maintained; and the office is fully staffed. You arrive on time and they work on time. Teeth cleaning is on time, professional and virtually painless.

Fantastic experience: First class experience, from the receptionist to the doctor!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Driver and the staff are fabulous. They’re very welcoming, professional, and make you feel at ease.

Fantastic experience: Had my implant yesterday which was carried out by Dr Driver. He gave me four shots to numb the pain and got to work. It was done in 45 minutes! His nurses were very caring and efficient and seemed to work seamlessly with the doctor. Came home and had no discomfort, bleeding or swelling (iced as instructed). Slept well and the ordeal was behind me this morning! Couldn't have been easier!

Fantastic experience: I love having to go to the dentist. Everyone at Lagos makes me feel like family and their professionalism is unmatched. Thank you everyone!

Fantastic experience: My appointment at Lagos went very smoothly and Dr Driver was very thorough and professional in discussing my procedure. I would recommend this office

Fantastic experience: I had a tooth which broke below the gum line and was unsavable - I asked multiple dentists - so the only option was to have it removed. This prospect terrified me, as I have had problems with getting numb and staying numb in the past. My situation was compounded by the fact that the first oral surgeon I went tried to intimidate me into getting the procedure done his way in his time, by saying that I would likely see him later "in the emergency room." (Wut??) I left and did not seek treatment for again for a year, and by then it was worse. Long story short, by divine providence I finally found my way to Dr. Driver. He is amazing! I cannot say enough good things about my experience with him. He is calm and he explains everything fully. My mouth was fully numb and the tooth was gone very quickly. The office staff is wonderful, too. In particular, I appreciate Lorie's help interfacing with my insurance company. Everything about the experience was top notch. Thank you very much, Dr. Driver, and everyone at Lagos! Truly. I am so grateful!

Fantastic experience: Great experience! It was my first visit to this office and I was pleased with my visit from reception, to dental assistant, Dr. Driver himself and their business person. All staff members were professional, but not sterile. Dr.Driver took the time to explain the procedures, next steps, recuperation time, etc. I feel that I am in good hands with this practice. Thank you to all at Lagos!

Fantastic experience: Very professional.They were able to squeeze me in the schedule understanding how uncomfortable my mouth And took care of the problem and the sedation helped me tremendously.. I had an implant procedure July 21st and he explained every step. He is a very qualified periodontist. His staff is great. I just had my 3rd visit and all went perfectly.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Lagos is the finest dental professional that I have ever done business with. His office and staff are as professional as any dental practice in the desert. I highly recommend Dr. Lagos office for your dental needs.

Fantastic experience: Dr Driver is the ultimate professional. I’m on my third implant with him, all were different situations and he solved my problems with kindness and speed. I trust him because he will always “have my back” He does beautiful work and he does it right every time.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Dr. Driver. I just completed the implant procedure with him and his team. It is a lengthy 10 1/2 month process from extraction of a cracked front tooth and bone graft to the final crown implant. Dr. Driver explained each step and completed each step with competence. He and his team were very supportive. I am delighted with the final outcome.

Fantastic experience: This periodontist office, I have gone to for six years now the staff and Doctor Lagos have always treated my care with respect and dignity. I first visited them Several years ago, I Was experiencing some serious dental problems which required extraction and implants they made the experience a very positive one with great success. The Staff is very kind and compassionate I still return twice a year or cleaning and maintenance and experience the same Consistent care. I highly recommend Rodrigo Lagos DDS.

Fantastic experience: I always have a great experience with Dr Eric Driver and his team at Lagos. Year before last I had my first tooth extraction as an adult. Dr Driver was patient with me, and he and the team explained everything carefully in advance. The extraction was pain free at the time as well as in the days following the extraction. Within a couple of months my jaw had healed properly and Dr Driver installed a post in preparation for an implant tooth. Over a year later I'm so happy with the result. So yesterday when I returned to Dr Driver for an extraction on the other side of my mouth, I entered the office with the calm expectation that this second implant will be just as successful the first. The extraction itself went smoothly and painlessly, and Dr Driver had me stitched up and finished within an hour of my arrival. It's just nice to be in the Lagos offices. The staff team is welcoming and nice to be around. You can tell these folks enjoy working for Lagos and Dr Driver. He's kind, gentle, a perfectionist, and he makes sure you're not having any pain with the procedure.

Fantastic experience: Excellent experience. Dr Driver takes time to explain and discuss treatment options in a friendly & caring way. Professional & helpful staff. Daisy & Claudia made me feel welcome and at ease.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Driver is amazing, kind and professional. My second implant with him over ten years.

Fantastic experience: Dr.Driver and the entire staff were excellent.

Negative experience: Was very disappointed, Dr. Lagos treated my wife extremely rudely. He asked if my younger sister was “disabled” after she didn’t answer his first question, saying “it would be understandable if she was” Also overheard him say to another patient near me “I don’t care about your mouth, it’s your mouth not mine” in an argument with another patient. The final straw was that confirmed our insurance two times before the appointment- and they at the end said they didn’t accept it?? Other staff was nice and more understanding

Fantastic experience: Dr. Lagos explains everything and is extreme patient. His staff goes out of its way to be comforting when needed and also are very helpful. I feel I am in great hands (and I’m not a happy camper when it comes to dental work) but am happy to have been referred to Lagos Periodental.

Negative experience: My 12 year old was not responding due to social anxiety: He said i wont work with you if you dont talk. He asked if my child has a disability. He asked if my kid has a disability. No one on the phone said they took medical. They did not mention it on the phone when I asked. We waited 47 mins from our scheduled appt at 3pm to be seen.

Fantastic experience: I must admit that my dental care has been pretty bad since moving to the valley. Ask anyone (which we have done) and they’ll just shrug their shoulders and express their own frustrations about the inability to find good dental care. As for myself I do NOT recommend Inland Dental Long story short I was finally referred to Dr. SHAFFNER who recommended Dr Lagos. Dr. Lagos said my teeth were in dire need of treatment. The consultation was comprehensive and detailed. Dr. Lagos didn’t waste much time talking but scheduled me at his earliest to address teeth that were broken and needed extraction as well as my sore and dying gums and large areas of bone which he was able to save. OK it’s no fun gumming food but I am looking forward to the time when my implants and new bridges are constructed and I can chew again. Did i mention that he saw major infection in my sinuses and referred me to Dr. Waltz. To be continued Dr. Lagos also referred me to a doctor specializing in infections. Had daily IV treatments with very strong anti- biotics. He also wanted me to have barometric or pressure dives in a chamber. About 20 dives. Will start the barometric dives ( Pressurized oxygen) this week. August 24, 2025 Dr. Lagos requested I be seen by an Ear Nose and Throat doctor. Dr Lagos was right about the sinus infection. Dr. Walz performed a surgery to repair my deviated septum and remove the infection from my sinuses. Great to breath again !!! To be continued

Fantastic experience: Outstanding staff; friendly, personable , treats you like you are the ONLY patient with 100% focus on You!

Fantastic experience: Dr L and his team are OUTSTANDING. They helped me resolve my pre prosedure meds issues. The extraction went as planned-- I did not know the tooth was out. No swelling or post op pain. And this is a 2nd day report. THANKS TEAM LAGOS

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Driver and the entire team in the front office. From the moment I walked in, I felt genuinely welcomed. Dr. Driver is not only knowledgeable and thorough, he is kind, gentle and patient. He took the time to explain each step and answer all my questions.

Fantastic experience: I had a terrible toothache over the holiday weekend and was desperate to get in to see a dentist first thing on Tuesday. I had left a voicemail at Dr Lagos‘s office and received a phone call before they opened at 8 AM on Tuesday. They got me in at 8:30 and couldn’t have been more caring and compassionate. Dr. Lagos followed up that afternoon to see how I was feeling and his office called me the following day as well. I can’t speak highly enough about Dr. Lagos and everyone in his office.

Fantastic experience: Talking with Dr. Driver is like conversing with a friend. I’d rate this office and all the staff a 20 out of ten!

Fantastic experience: I saw Dr. Driver two days ago for a consultation regarding a crown that broke off at the gum line. It needed to be extracted. We are leaving town in three days. The office rescheduled some patients in order to get me in yesterday for the extraction. All went well. I couldn’t have received better care!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Driver was professional, courteous, explained the procedure, and concerned. I highly recommend him.
