Dr. Tunnel and his staff were terrific! They made me feel like I was an old patient and it was my first procedure which involved surgery that was seamless. I just got the stitches out today and surprised to feel no pain. I would recommend him any day!

It's been two and a half years since I started my quest to correct my dental concerns. The solutions to my problems came from the team of experts from Central Perio, lead by my periodontist, Dr. John Tunnel. I found him to be calm, knowledgeable, patient and extremely professional. His staff has always been courteous, efficient and very friendly. I would feel quite comfortable and confident to recommend Dr. John Tunnel and his colleagues from Central Perio, if a need arose for in-depth dental work, including implants. Thank you, Tom Noune'

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Tunnell and highly recommend him to anyone needing an implant. He was professional, thorough, and took the time to clearly explain my treatment options, which made me feel confident and comfortable. His gentle approach and attention to detail made a huge difference throughout the procedure. The entire office was welcoming and well-organized, making each visit stress-free. I’m very grateful for his expertise and the outstanding results I received!

Dr. Tunnell is awesome! I was referred to him by my dentist and couldn't be happier with the care I received. I’m very appreciative that Dr. Tunnell was genuinely interested in helping me and offered great recommendations and treatment options. He explained everything clearly and never made me feel rushed. You can tell he truly cares about his patients. Plus, his staff is incredibly nice and made every interaction a breeze. I highly recommend!

Couldn’t say enough positive things about Dr. Tunnell and his staff. After countless appointments to ensure my care was perfect, the check-ins after each procedures, and just his eye for making sure it’s perfect. I would highly recommend him and his services to everyone I know. For someone who is afraid of dental procedures, he made sure I was always well informed and had a peace of mind every step of the way.
