I've had some gum grafting done by Dr. Singer. He may have a good knowledge of what needs to be done, but the execution was poor. My first grafting failed, and I had to do it again. It was very painful and I was poorly informed about the different techniques (new vs. old fashioned) and the pros. and cons. of different kind of gums. In addition, he also let his assistant finish the sewing while all other periodontists will do everything from the beginning to the end.
The financial handling was also very fishy. His assistant told me that I wouldn't have to pay any single penny since my insurance would pay more. She gave me a much lower estimate than what she billed to the insurance, which is supposed to be their trick to get paid more from the insurance. But at the end, she sent me the bill with $8000 more than what she quoted to me. His cost was almost twice as expensive for much poorer results compared to the best periodontist in DC.
I learned my lesson. Don't let a general dentist do any surgery! One can't be good at everything.
