Reviews

"February 2022 I was diagnosed with Periodontal Disease and was referred to Premier periodontics, Olympia. I was under the care of Najib Ghadri, accompanied with the excellent team of surgical assistant Magi, administration assistant, Dianna and hygienist Liz. Initially, I was giving a detailed treatment plan, explaining all charges very clearly, and they worked with me on payment plans. The new patient consult explained the procedure I was to expect, and all questions were answered to my understanding. Highest regards, I give to Dr. Ghadri and team as my situation was critical to the point of losing my front tooth. After completing treatment, I have 100% use of the failing tooth. The education provided during treatment, especially by the hygienist, Liz, was absolutely remarkable. I would highly recommend their service to anyone in need."
