Question - Is there some way to find out who is the best periodontist in my area?

Answer - Hi, The best way to find a great periodontist is word of mouth. speak to friends who have had work done and ask them about their experiences. Also speak to other dentists. The problem with going to the "most popular" or "most expensive " periodontist is that their work is not necessarily superb. You can also check www.perio.org for a list of periodontists in your area. I would recommend going to a board-certified periodontist, but then again that doesn't always mean they are excellent. I'll admit, it's a tough one, but I hope this helps. If you let me know where you are, i may know someone in your area. Let me Know.

Question - I live in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

Answer - Hi, Go see a periodontist by the name of: Ahmad Soolari 11616 Toulone Dr Potomac, MD 20854-3167 Phone: (301) 299-6664 I have never met him personally, but I work in a dental practice where he used to work. I have seen his work and I am impressed with his knowledge, skill and thoroughness. He is board-certified and is also an examiner for the board exam. Very impressive fellow. Let me know how it goes. Best of Luck, Joseph Zelig, DDS

Patient Testimonial

Testimonial: I could not be more pleased with my crown lengthening procedure care of Dr. Soolari. He was extremely helpful in explaining the procedure beforehand and answering all of my questions. His assistant was very kindto me and supportive when the procedure day rolled around, and he put me at ease. The procedure itself went smoothly and without any problems. By far the best part for me is that I experienced absolutely no painwhatsoever following the procedure. I did not need to take any pain medication! Thank you, Dr. Soolari, for a job very well done!

Testimonial: Surgical procedures were explained at every step, putting me at great ease. Given the seriousness of the surgery, there was very little discomfort. The results exceeded expectation.

Also I was very pleased at the approach of working to isolate and treat damaged area, opposed to just pulling teeth. Dr. Soolari and assistants were fantastic!

Testimonial: Although the thought of seeing a Periodontist was uncomfortable I was put at ease the moment I arrived at the office. From the warm and kind reception I received when I first arrived to meeting and being treated by the kind and informative surgeon, all has been well. The staff has been very friendly, informative, professional and very good at what they do. I wouldn’t have waited so long to see a Periodontist had I known I would be taken care of so well. I would recommend Dr. Soolari’s office to anyone if I had the chance to. Thanks so much.

Dr. Soolari is a knowledgeable, caring and gentle professional. A true expert. He explains his procedures thoroughly, instilling the confidence to follow his wise counsel. His staff also is very helpful. They take the time necessary to treat their patients compassionately.
