I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Roman and her staff. I have been going to her ever since she purchased the practice of another periodontist ("he whose name shall not be mentioned"). Her predecessor was such that I drove five hours one way to use a peer in the Bay Area.enough said. My existing dentist (Dr. Omey) has me in for visits twice a year and Dr. Roman sees me twice as well.
From the very beginning, Dr. Roman and her staff have been the Gold Standard for patient care. Since they moved into newer quarters, the ambiance has been top notch as well. Last week I was there for my scheduled visit and each bay had the window open. Now it was 42 degrees outside and I was concerned. But they swaddled me in blankets and the fresh air not only eased my COVID concerns but the outside air flow put me in a meditative state. Cassandra, my favorite hygienist, has not only top notch dental skills but a personality second to none. I have lived all over the world and have never had a better team. Kudos to Doctor Roman.her high standards are reflected throughout her organization!

My husband was a patient of Dr. Roman's for approximately three years and never missed an appointment. When we changed primary dentists, our new provider said he no longer needed to see Dr. Roman. Our new provider called to request his records, and told Dr. Roman's staff my husband would no longer be seen by Dr. Roman. Three months later we received a bill for a missed appointment.
When I called and spoke to the Office Manager (Alyssa), she said they called our house to confirm the appointment. We never got that call and Alyssa insisted I pay the $75 missed appointment charge. Ouch! Wonder how long we doubled up my husband's cleaning appointments with no need? Hmmm. knowledge is power, so thought I'd share.

I've seen periodontitis for over 20 years. After moving here I found myself in Dr. Roman's care. Basically she it's the only one who specializes in periodontal care. My visits are useless, she doesn't do anything. She recommends that one come in and all that is done is a teeth cleaning which is very expensive compared to ones dentist.
She doesn't bother to come in and see me during the visit. The few times that she has bothered to come in, she looks in my mouth and just says "humm". That's the visit. A waste of time and money.

Excellent Surgeon! It is so nice to have such an amazing professional like Karla Roman in this area. I had met with other surgeons in other states and was most impressed with Karla. She is very skilled and thorough, she has an easy manner and takes complications in stride. As a patient i have no fears or worries and she explains everything to me in advance. I felt no pain, and everything went smoothly.

I was to receive two implants at this office and left to have the process finished by another periodontist. I would not recommend this office for the following reasons: 1. Communication between the doctor/office is very poor. 2. Little guidance as to what to expect. 3. No after procedure check up call from the office. I developed huge canker sores and was not warned that this could happen.
I was not prepared for aftermath at all, no write up, no words explaining that my tongue had been badly bruised in the procedure and what recuperative help would be available afterwards. 4. Doctor Roman went on maternity leave without informing me there would me months delay in the process. I did not even know she had left when my xray was ready to be read in order to decide if my jaw was ready for implants, I was told she would not be back for weeks to even read the xray! 5.
I was not guided at all as far as next appointments were concerced, I had to think of all the next steps myself. 6. On Sept 5, 2014 I requested my xray and file to be transferred to another periodontist office, as of Sept 22 this had not happened yet. I find the office staff "coldly polite and coldly pleasant", 2 implants were going to cost $6,250, for that amount of money one should expect much better customer service! Go to the Bay Area instead, even Ukiah has a periodontist! FYI: I did send Dr. Roman a letter telling her the above. Signed : Ellen Monterie, Arcata, CA
