Dr. Joseph Ladner, DMD

Dr. Ladner is a periodontist and somehow makes going to the dentist not feel like a trip to the gallows. That alone deserves an award. I normally dread dental visits with the intensity of a root canal horror story, but this was a completely different experience. Dr. Ladner is top notch professional, thorough, and actually takes the time to explain what’s going on without making you feel like you need a dental degree to keep up. And his staff? Second to none. Friendly, welcoming, and organized to a level that almost makes you suspicious (in a good way). No chaos, no cold attitudes, just people who clearly know what they’re doing and enjoy doing it. I walked in expecting misery and walked out thinking, “That wasn’t bad at all.” I’ve been raving about him to anyone who will listen, which is saying something, because I usually don’t rave about anyone. If you’re putting off periodontal work because you’d rather do literally anything else. Go see Dr. Ladner
