Thank you to the entire team at Utah Periodontal Specialists! A special thank you to Dr. Knight and his kindness to me and special care during my implant procedure yesterday. I felt little to no pain and felt taken care of from the time I walked through the door until the end. I was sent home with detailed after care instructions and feel great today. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

I was recently in seeing Dr. Nielsen for wisdom teeth extractions, and the entire experience was made so easy and stress free that I was able to leave the office with zero question and the confidence that if anything did come up after Dr. Nielsen and his team would be able to help me out. Hannah one of Dr. Nielsen amazing Assistant's was super professional on going over all instructions and super kind which just helped making everything more comfortable. Thank you Dr. Nielsen and your great team! highly recommend this practice!

I just received an implant at Utah Periodontal Specialists. The procedure was amazing - 1,000% better than I was expecting. Virtually no pain, and so fast. Dr Nielsen and his team were phenomenal!

Nice friendly and patient towards patients. The doctors could spend a little more time on patients to answer their questions tho. 15min is so short. I like that they respect patients autonomy and don’t force aggressive surgeries on patients. Dr. Skene was very forceful with aggressive surgeries, I’m glad I’m not with her anymore.

I’m avoiding this practice due to the littlest regard for my time and condition. I have some serious work that needs to be done as a result of a lifetime of dental issues. I was charged $88 for a consultation appointment where the doctor spent no more than 5 minutes with me. He came in to my stall totally unprofessional, left haphazardly, none of my questions were answered, and the assistant couldn’t assist with any of my concerns. During the check-out I tried to again ask my questions and they told me to just call back and talk with the front desk. What was the point of my consultation then? This was even after I was seen an hour late scheduled for the earliest appointment in the morning. It was hard to believe this was a professional practice. I left with zero trust that these people should be doing a major dental surgery on me.
