Dr. Samuel Ellsworth, DDS

I recently had gum graft surgery by Dr. Ellsworth. I can't say enough good things about him and his entire staff. From the initial consultation, explanation of the procedure, recovery process and cost, and other pre-surgery communications, to the procedure itself and my first follow-up, it is clear that this team brings its A game and really cares for its patients. They patiently took the time to explain everything to me in detail and answer all my (many) questions, and Dr. Ellsworth himself called both in advance of the procedure and the evening it was done to check in with me on surgery prep and how I was doing afterward. It was never going to be a fun process, but he and his team made it as painless as possible, both figuratively and literally. I would highly recommend.

Today I went in for two extractions and prep work for implants. This was the first time I met with the doctor and I was very pleased with the way he sat down and explained everything he was going to do. I opted out of being sedated (did the local and laughing gas) and I never felt any pain whatsoever. I would recommend Dr. Ellsworth to anyone doing implants or needing teeth pulled. He’s top notch in my book.

We had such a great experience with Dr. Ellsworth and his staff. Everyone there treated us like they truly cared about us as individuals, not just as a patient. My 8 week old son had a lip and tongue tie revision and Dr Ellsworth was knowledgeable, gentle and did a great job. Thank you!

Dr. Samuel Ellsworth and his amazing team, Lorena and Meagan, are the nicest and most professional team I?ve had the pleasure to work with. I was referred by my dentist to see Dr. Ellsworth about a crown lengthening procedure. No one wants to go to a specialist to discuss possible surgery but Dr. Ellsworth talked to me for over an hour. He calmly and patiently answered every question no matter how silly it was. I recommend Lakewood Periodontics.

Although the doctor is very nice and compassionate, the office manager overcharged my credit card and after 2 months, she has yet to correct the issue. I've asked for the accidental overcharge a couple of times and she's just been very busy with current clients well, I was in there and paid hard earned money too. She was eagerly trying to schedule me for surgery when this happened. Since I went elsewhere for my implants, I want my money back and they are putting me off yet admitting fault.

This is an extraordinary practice. After several appointments with Dr. Ellsworth, it is clear that he is highly skilled, conscientious and nurturing. Unlike other experiences, where I have felt rushed in and out of the office because of too-closely scheduled appointments, his practice is geared toward serving the health and best interests of the patient. And, Dr. Ellsworth's staff is equally skilled in making what is usually a dreaded experience into a most pleasant experience.

Dr Ellsworth and his staff are above reproach. They are kind and very concerned about your comfort and well being. Dr Ellsworth is extremely well trained and trustworthy. I would not hesitate to recommend him to all my family and friends. Sue Friberg
