Terry G. Fiori, DDS

Dr. Fiori has been my periodontist for several years. He is one of the top periodontists in the world and a member of the American Academy of Periodongology. He is a pioneer and expert implant, laser, and periodontal therapy. I highly recommend him without any reservation.

I got into trouble at this office because I found ridiculous Dr. Fiori’s statement he saying that gum recession caused by «tooth brushing».
I brushed my teeth all my life without any problem just having my healthy gums. My gum recession only showed up suddenly and ferociously a year ago with painful bleeding gums receding rapidly. I asked my regular dentist Dr. Frikey for an antibiotic rinse, but I have never received. Than He recommended Dr. Fiori, and I was hoping for a resolution and treatment. I heard that some of the recessions can be stopped by antibiotic rinse. Dr. Fiori could only advise to use a soft toothbrush and brush very carefully which I did but absolutely no relief.
I have been told by him also that gum recession might be stopped but never reversed.
Well I was lucky that I have found herbal rinse, a blend of 12 essential oils, echinacea for immune and bacterium killing Goldenseal– by ECO-​DENT.
This rinse did help and at least stopped the recession but did not reverse. I have no bleeding or red painful gums anymore.
If you happened to know how to reverse gum recession please email me and let me know.
My takeaway here is that if you go for extraction, which I was advised as well, than you will be a good patient, otherwise you are on your own.- Dr Fiori’s office is in Stanford University which has a holistic health department and acupuncture, but Dr. Fiori is not a holistic doctor.
I gave one star because I found ridiculous that tooth brushing was blamed for my receding gum problem. I am not a doctor but I know that if the tissues are inflamed because of a low level infection than these gum tissues are less resistant for mechanical stress like tooth brushing. I believe as a patient I should have been treated and not sent away with the last solution of extraction, especially when the recession was only 3 – 4 and not 7 – 8.
If you know a more caring doctor also please let me know.
Thanks.

This review is for the office staff only. Very rude. I was on hold for 20 minutes, after I called back and explained the ergency of my situation, they still put me on hold without really listening. Well, I have to take my business elsewhere. This is not how you treat your loyal clients. Very Dissapointing !!!

I would recommend Dr. Fiori for anyone needing periodontal work. Every step of the way he and his staff have done a great job at making the experience pleasant. The laser procedure he uses was probably the easiest dental work I’ve had. His instructions are clear, sensible and easy to follow. The front desk folks were professional and pleasant, and helpful in sorting out the payment options.
Great experience!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Fiori for treatment for receding gums for about 20 years. I had some grafting done years ago that has held up very well. I appreciate that he does not suggest treatment/​surgery unless it is absolutely necessary. My hygienist, Leslie, is efficient and friendly, as are the front office staff. I have never had a problem with billing issues, and the office has consistently coordinated care with my dentist (who works in another city).

Dr. Fiori is very good at what he does… as good as periodontics gets. The from office staff seemed nice to me .no more problems I guess.

The front desk issue that other reviewers noted seems to have been solved by the time I saw Dr. Fiori. I’ve had an excellent experience and have been very pleased by the quality of the periodontist, the hygienist who provided the cleaning, and billing and scheduling of this office. I recommend Dr. Fiori as a periodontist.

My work was done over a year ago and it is still good, so I’m going back today. If not for the treatment by one of the front desk staff, I would give five stars.
I’ve been to several dentists and I appreciate quality work. I was very happy with the dental work, and not at all happy with one of the front desk staff. I agree with all the previous comments on the attitude and difficulty in sorting out billing issues. As expensive as dental work can be, I expect more cooperation and support from the administrative staff of any doctor’s office, since the hundreds of dollars in copay will be coming out of my pocket.

I had to go back a few times recently. The evil lady seems to be gone. But, I think they are having some turn over. Will update more if they get better.

Although on the dental practice side, I have no problem, recently their billing is erratic.
I got 1 billing error and my husband got another. And they refused to fix it and keep saying that resubmitting to insuracne would be a huge favor. Hmm am I underprivileged to give business to them?
