Dr Wagener is an excellent periodontist. He goes out of his way to make sure you are well informed about your condition. He and his staff take all the necessary steps to make sure you are as comfortable as possible. He went out of his way and dealt with my insurance company who initally denied payment for the needed work. He is a great patient advocate. While there are other things I would rather do than go to a periodontist, I will say that Dr. Wagener and his sfatt was the best choice I could make. 5 stars without a doubt.
