Professional and caring. I really appreciated that Dr. Wilgus and his team put me at ease and were very specific and thoughtful in the care provided. I felt like his team is using current technology and techniques.

Dr. Wilgus and his entire staff are professional, caring and understanding. No one wants to hear that they need gum graft surgery, but from start to finish this was a pleasant experience. Their upbeat and friendly approach instilled confidence immediately. I was referred to Dr. Wilgus by my regular dentist and I am glad I was. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a periodontist.

Dr. Ronald Hunter: Excellent care. Completely satisfied. Everything was explained to me before and as it happened. I knew what to expect and what was happening. No pain thanks to the effective numbing. AND: Dr. Hunter called me to make sure I was okay tonight! I think only my vet's office calls to check on my dogs! Office staff super friendly and went above and beyond to help me with the insurance, since their office is outside of my network. They called my insurance to verify benefits and then explained it all to me.

This was one of the best experiences I have had at a periodontal office. I was not blessed with the best teeth and even though I take good care of them, over the years I have had lots of work. When my dentist referred me here I was a little reluctant because it was a little ways away from where I work and live. I'm so glad I made the treck to this office. From Debbie at the front office to Brenda the assistant, plus others which I didn't get their names, they were all very welcoming and friendly. They kept me informed as to everything they were doing the whole time. Then there was Dr. Wilgus, oh my word, he is so good looking as well as being super nice. The grafting procedure was done in no time and with NO discomfort! He explained everything he did and all the aftercare as to what the expect later. He has the best bedside manner ever, plus did I mention how cute he is? I would surely recommend this office to anyone needing a Periodontal procedure. Thank you, everyone, at Camarillo Periodontist!
