HIGHLY recommended. Dr. Reshad and his team are amazing (especially Aracely). I went in today for a consultation and received the most comprehensive, methodical, and honest evaluation in my 20 years of dental challenges. Dr. Reshad explained his diagnosis and recommended course of action clearly. His bedside manners and attentive listening skills are excellent as well.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Daniela as my dental hygienist! From the moment I sat down in the chair, she made me feel totally at ease with her friendly and professional demeanor. She’s incredibly gentle yet thorough, and you can just tell she really cares about her patients’ comfort and dental health. I left with my teeth feeling cleaner than ever and a big smile on my face.

Doctors Setya and Reshad are top notch periodontists that have made tremendous improvements to my oral health over the past 5 years. Their care would not be complete without the follow up professional care of their Dental Hygienist Daniela Beltran who is an extremely empathetic detailed professional, who has constantly educated me on oral hygiene and at home preventative care. I appreciate all the time and efforts of OC PERIO & IMPLANTS DENTAL GROUP’s medical and support team! Without a doubt 5 STARS !

The staff, from the receptionist to technician to billing point-of-contact to Dr. Bergman, could not have been more friendly and welcoming. They thoroughly explained what was being done at the time it was being done, and extensively discussed what to expect for upcoming surgery, from the procedure to after care and costs. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
