Dr. Seda and his team are absolutely fantastic - professional, friendly, and amazing at what they do. After a friend recommended me to this office after her own gum surgery (which can be complicated and pricy), I had my consult appt. I was not inundated with information (which happened with the first periodontist I'd seen); Dr. Seda and his staff clearly and concisely explained what was going on with my gums, and how they felt they could repair my recession. I booked my surgery appointment for 2 months later, and felt well prepared for it with all the material they'd sent. Surgery day - total breeze. Dr. Seda and his assistant were warm, encouraging, and relaxed as they took great care of me - an ideal surgical environment, especially for people who might be squeamish about the procedure. (I wasn't.) I felt completely fine when I left his office that day! Post-surgery, I was prepared with the prescribed pain meds and given explicit instructions on how to manage my recovery...which was also a total breeze. I had ZERO pain, swelling, or bruising (all potentially normal side effects), and felt totally normal. I was very careful to follow eating/brushing/flossing instructions, which Dr. Seda felt definitely was a factor in how my gums looked today at the 3 month post-op checkup; I believe his words were "You have the gums of an 18 year-old." Dr. Seda and his team have been nothing short of impressive - they're all total pros, and I am extremely pleased with his surgery, their care, and the results.

I live in Cloverdale CA. My dentist of 25 years recommended Dr Seda when I had periodontal issues - no one in Santa Rosa, but Dr Seda in San Rafael because he could trust his abilities. My dentist, I came to learn after a few years, recommended treatments for the sole purpose of saving my teeth and dental health. He does not recommend anything not needed. I found Sr Seda and his team to be exactly the same kind of professional, which is why my dentist told me to travel further. Besides installing a dental implant efficiently and without pain during the procedure, my dentist reviewed the work after and said that Dr Seda really had done a great job. When my spouse ended up at a periodontist in Santa Rosa, before I knew it, through a local dentist in Cloverdale (who indicated there was just a small periodontal issue), he came out of that Santa Rosa office after a 3 minute examination, no bone scan, being told he needed a full treatment for all of the gums in the mouth for $6600 and he was going to lose teeth. I took him right over to Dr Seda for a second opinion and we found out the issue was just confined to 2 quadrants, was not in imminent danger of losing teeth and cost us about 1/3 of what the other one quoted. My spouse had the exact same feeling of Dr Seda and his staff that I have. Great Periodontists, like Dr Seda, will always ask for you to have a full bone scan of your mouth - even thought not covered by insurance, it’s invaluable. It gives the Dr the full 3D scope of your entire dental health - gums, teeth and their roots and the bone the roots are in. Get one! You want your periodontal issues to be accurately diagnosed. You wouldn’t have a heart valve replaced by a cardiac surgeon that just thinks you might need it replaced, would you?
