I had a gum graft using Alloderm--pretty extensive with graft on most of the upper arch. Dr. Thurber was my "second opinion" after getting a consult with another periodontist. It's an expensive and difficult procedure so I wanted to consider two periodontists and talk through the options for graft materials. I liked Dr. Thurber and his approach so much better that I chose him to do the procedure. He presented the options and gave very sound reasons for going with Alloderm vs. the newer product where they don't have data on long term success. He has an incredibly calm, "yoda"-like chairside manner. You have 100% of his attention when he talks to you. I really liked the way Dr. Thurber does the IV Sedation--they use just enough that there was no pain or anxiety at all, but not so much that I felt wacked out with a drug hangover. I used to work with anesthesiologists and I know that its common for IV sedation providers to use more drug than necessary and the patient never knows that feeling so bad post-op wasn't normal.

About Hygienist: Kelley was the assistant--extremely professional, friendly, compassionate. She has been assisting Dr. Thurber for 7 years and it shows...very little chatter because she knows exactly what he needs next.

I know this doctor: 6 months
