Implant Logyca – Alfonso L. Patron, DDS

His staff is great, he placed my implant and I didn’t feel anything. Great doctor and great staff 5***** dental and treatment.

Beware: I received a bill that was significantly more than the quote I was given prior to my procedure. I was told that they had contacted my dental insurance and confirmed the amount that my insurance would cover for the procedure but when it came time to bill my insurance, my insurance covered far less than what I had been told by the office staff. This left me to cover a significantly higher portion of the bill than I was anticipating. I worked with the office staff to try to resolve the matter and have not received a satisfactory response.
The procedure itself was good, but the discrepancy between the quote I received prior to the treatment and the bill I received afterwards, along with the service I received from the office staff left a very bad taste in my mouth. If you decide to use this practice, be very leery of the quote you receive.

I had a gum graft done and I could not have been in better hands. I was expecting it to be painful but it actually was less painful than I thought. Dr. Patron’s staff is super helpful and calming. They were super helpful and I loved the office (calming yet pristine). The procedure itself was much less painful than I thought. Dr. Patrone is a master with the novocaine, I barely felt it go in. And once it was in, I literally felt nothing. I was able to wear headphones and listen to a podcast (recommend this — gives you something to focus on) and I pretty much kept my eyes closed the whole time. When it was over, both he and his dental assistant went over the post-​surgery instructions. Further, he gave me his personal cell phone to call if I had any concerns. If you’ve heard of this surgery, it was something I put off for a while because it was hard to wrap my mind around the nastiness of it. However, Dr. Patrone did everything he could to put me at ease.
I did end up calling his cell two times and both times he was immediately responsive. In the follow up appointments
It’s a magical office. I never had to wait yet somehow never felt rushed. I am forgetting the woman’s name who handles the bills and appointments but she was a pleasure to talk to and so helpful (in terms of helping me figure out the financing options).
I would recommend Dr. Patron to anyone. He is honest, skilled, and personable.

I recently had a connective tissue graft performed by Dr. Patron. Starting with setting up the appt, going through the procedure and follow up process, i found him and his office staff incredibly professional and caring. From the beginning, I was well aware of what to expect during the procedure, as everything was explained to me; Dr. Patron answered all of my questions, provided me with written information, and assured me of the routine nature of this procedure, which he performs often and with a very high rate of success. Dr. Patron is patient and attentive, with a gentle touch. He put me at ease prior to the procedure, which made a huge difference in my comfort level. My recovery went smoothly, as I followed the doctor’s advice. I made additional phone calls to the office, after the procedure, and was always greeted with a smile and provided with great service. The office staff was accommodating, easily reached and very helpful, when it came to answering to my questions re: insurance coverage. Without a doubt, i would recommend Dr. Patron and his office to anyone looking to have dental procedures done in a professional manner, with a highly competent doctor.

I was referred to Dr Patron by a personal friend. Scheduled a visit a few months back for my mom who needed some dental work. Her opinion of Dr Patron, he is professional, knowable, and most importantly he has a great side manner.
As a result of my mothers visit, I schedule my daughter, who also raved about her visit. So that same day as my daughter was seeing Dr Patron, I chatted with Kamila (his office person), regarding a future visit for myself. Kamila managed to squeeze me in that same day for a consult with the doctor, he was very informative, gave me multiple options, which I appreciated!
All three of us highly recommend Dr Patron and his staff, they are professional, timely, knowledgeable and very friendly. We plan on coming back to Dr Patron!

I had a gum graft done and I really wish I had gone to another doctor. I had even tried getting a second opinion and somehow ended up with the same Periodontist… I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone but figured if he’s recommended by multiple offices, then I guess my options were limited and just to go ahead with it.
Before the procedure I asked the office multiple times if there was anything I needed to know ahead of time or to prepare (i.e. medications to fill or food to have in the house afterward). I was told no, and that they would explain everything after the procedure.
Before getting into the details of the actual procedure, I will say it was very frustrating to receive all of the directions after the surgery (when you’re already a little agitated) and you’re told THEN that there will be bruising and swelling. It would be nice to know this ahead of time so you can plan around work. I was given a slew of different prescriptions to fill, which was NOT ideal waiting for when your mouth is bleeding, swollen, and in pain. On top of that, the pharmacy didn’t even have the special mouthwash needed on hand (which I’m sure is the case for most normal pharmacies) so they had to order it, meaning I couldn’t start it on time and had to go back the next day.
Now to the actual procedure. I was very apprehensive about it beforehand (as I’m sure a lot of people are before an oral surgery) and I had just gotten done telling the doctor about a horror story I experienced that added to my anxiety. I was told not to worry, everything would go well, and I believed this until I started feeling the doctor cut into the roof of my mouth with a scalpel ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE TO WHERE HE NUMBED IT. The doctor had forgotten which side had the Novocaine.
It’s one thing if a doctor makes a mistake and owns up to it and apologizes, but I never got that from this doctor. He said «we decided to take the graft from the other side to keep all of the sutures on one side of your mouth.» Well, you can’t really decide that without telling the patient and numbing the area first, so there really is no excuse for what he did. I would have been much more willing to trust him after that had he owned up to his mistake, but the rest of the experience was tainted with fear. And the sutures were in the middle of my mouth anyway, so his response was invalid.
When I went back for my checkup, the doctor still was not completely honest with me with regards to what he would be doing that day and had the worst bedside manner and was rude and impatient. The entire experience was a nightmare with him. Please do some research and find someone else so you don’t end up with a story like mine.

I just had a crown lengthening procedure done with Dr Patron at the Ballston Commons location. Went to him based on good reviews here on Unilocal and otherwise.
The office staff is very professional, friendly and helpful, answers questions and doesn’t rush you. Dr. Patron is a friendly and no nonsense kind of guy. After viewing my xray, Dr Patron explained what surgery was needed to resolve my issue (crown lengthening) and answered all of my questions honestly and candidly. He showed me what he would be doing on the xray and explained that there would be some pain afterwards. Of course that didn’t help my hesitancy about the procedure but I appreciated his honesty. He seemed very knowlegeable about the procedure and possible alternatives, and I felt like I was in competent hands.
They gave me a cost estimate prior to the procedure so there were no surprises. The dental assistant was also very friendly, empathetic and helpful.
Selecting a periodontist to do any type of invasive surgery is a big decision, at least it is for me — especially if you already have fears about dental work and a low tolerance for pain (as I do). I am glad I selected this doctor to perform my procedure. Will have to update this review later in the healing process, perhaps after my follow up visit.
UPDATE Aug 2013: I had the crown lengthening surgery two months ago and everything has healed up well. I am no longer experiencing the issues I had prior to the surgery (gum infection, soreness, bleeding, etc), which is a blessing and a relief. The follow up visit went well, both staff and doctor were very pleasant and informative. Once again, I am glad I made the decision to have my procedure at this office. The price was a little higher than most offices but you get what you pay for.

I recently had grafting completed with dr patron. It was a very quick painless procedure. he followed up with me that evening via phone call and asked about any pain– I reported all I had taken was motrin approx. 8 hrs before! I followed up with some more motrin for the rest of the weekend as a precaution, but it was not really needed. very easy and quick recovery– he does great work and his staff is very friendly and welcoming also!
