I don't think I've ever had a more relaxing encounter than I did with Cindy and Dr. Fay. My situation is pretty stressful but I actually laughed and smiled a lot at my visit. It was quick and painless.

I have been a patient of Dr. Fay for several years and she and the people in her office have always been very friendly, efficient and professional., As usual, this visit was as good as can be expected for a periodontal cleaning which always entails some pain. I especially appreciate Vicki's pleasant demeanor while she was doing the cleaning.

I've been to both locations at Fay Periodontal and I'm impressed! The front desk staff were very friendly. They had the paperwork pre-prepared for me, with a sanitized clipboard and pen. The dental technician was ready for me the second that I finished my intake paperwork. She was friendly and she showed that she cared about my dental concerns. Dr. McKenzie was so kind and personable as I explained the issue with my gums. She worked efficiently and ensured that I was comfortable and informed throughout the entire procedure. I would definitely recommend Fay Periodontal!

I have been so impressed with all aspects of Fay Periodontics. The procedures done by a periodontist are not typically the kinds that people look forward to, but their team has such a calm demeanor, with the utmost in confidence in what they are doing. All of this makes the process so much more manageable. I would recommend them to anyone!
