I am not the best dental patient, but Dr Blieden and his assistant made me feel very comfortable and at ease during dental surgery.

I was recommended to go to Dr. Blieden's office to have a implant. I can't tell you what a wonderful experience that was. From the time I made appointment to the end of getting my new tooth. Let me just say the staff at his office is the nicest people I ever came across. They took interest in what I was having done (I was a bit nervous) and made me feel so relaxed. Dr. Blieden was extremely patient with me and explained step by step what was happening even during the procedure. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone who needs work done at a Periodontal office to call his office. I can't say enough about his receptionist's all the way to the hygienist to the Doctor himself. Thank you Dr. Blieden and staff.

I joined the "Need An Implant Club" unexpectedly. I am very grateful that my dentist referred me here. Dr. Blieden and his staff were awesome from beginning to end. He kept me informed at every step and answered all of my questions (as did the rest of the staff). He even fit me in when he wasn't supposed to be working! Although I hope to never need them again I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

Dr. Romano and his staff are not professional, trustworthy, and dependable. They are not caring for patients; 3 times for postponement and then canceling right 10 minutes before the appointment time. Dr. Romano said to me, 'Go to other places' He was arrogant and irresponsible as medical personnel. I had a gum problem and saw Dr. Romano on Jan 14, 2022. After seeing him, I made an appointment on February 25th for deep cleaning. The clinic suddenly postponed it twice around the date, I tried to follow it and rescheduled other dates. I again got the call asking to postpone it before the date. On this 3rd time I needed to care for my teeth, so I pleaded with them to keep the appointment date as-is and they accepted it. Finally, upon my arrival on April 1, Joanne, the receptionist called me and said that the appointment was canceled because the hygienist Meghan should leave soon. I live 73 miles away from the clinic and it is a three-hour drive for a round trip. Should I make the next appointment? I needed to talk to the Doctor this time to discuss the matter not only my gum but the appointment. I talked to Dr. Romano expressing my sorry that this is not normal for the medical industry, much postponing and canceling is not appropriate. Soon he left the spot saying, "go to some other places!". He never asked about my gum condition and teeth at all. No wonder why this happened in this place. I was naive to expect their professional ethics and trust in the patient. I won't go there nor recommend this place.

Just finished getting my one implant and I want to say how happy and pleased I am with it and with Dr. Blieden and his staff. He explained everything thoroughly at each stage in the process and It was painless. I could see that he really enjoys his work. This office defiantly gets 5 Stars from me with the personal touch that I felt in my experience.

I want to express how happy I was with my first experience with Dr. Blieden and his team. First, the website, which explains bone grafting and implants really well, convince me that that is the way I needed to go. Then, Dr. Blieden explained everything as he was going through the procedure which I really appreciated. And he was always asking how I was doing and always took the time to answer my questions. His assistant was also great throughout the procedure as well as explaining the follow up instructions. Everyone was always very friendly and very helpful including the front office, which did a great job getting pre-treatment estimates from my insurance company and answering my questions. I want to express my gratitude to everyone there for making my experience better than what I was expecting. Thank you so much. Joseph Sherman

I had used another Rochester Doctor for my first implant. Since then I have changed my General Dentist. My current Dentist suggested I try Dr. Blieden at Periodontal Center for my second implant. In my initial meeting with him he showed me why I should get the implant done, what the process would be and the rate of success with my specific situation. He was very truthful and direct. When I made my decision to have Dr. Blieden do my implant I didn't realize how much different his process was compared to my first experience. Dr. Blieden and his very friendly and professional Staff were very efficient. He followed through with everything we discussed before the procedure when we looked at the x-ray's. It was a painless and fast process. My General Dentist had no problem with the Implant to fit the Abutment and Crown in place weeks later. Since my first very positive Implant experience with Dr. Blieden I have had him do 2 additional Implants for me. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone who is considering this procedure to consider Dr. Blieden at the Periodontal Center for this procedure. Bill Reitter

After losing two molars right together from infection and removal, I had the pleasure and luck of being referred to Dr Timothy Blieden. From the moment I met this strong straight forward man, I had confidence I was in the right hands. I was, I am. I have received exceptional help from this cheerful scientist/dentist, dr Blieden. He's confident and competent. The advanced technology used in this office is cutting edge, top of the line. DR Blieden makes me feel like the delicate precise business of a tooth implant is easy. It isn't of course. But he makes it seamless. His assistant Alesha is clearly a perfect partner. Together they make the journey the best it can be.

Dr. Ramono and his staff were awesome. Me being fearful and anxious was suprised at how well it went. Dr R. is top notch. I am now looking forward to going and getting my upper done. If you need implants or perio work done this is the place to go.

I have been a client of this group since 2002. I can't say I have ever had a bad experience. Dr. Romano is honest and conservative. He doesn't try to push me into doing anything he wouldn't do. If he thinks it is a waste of time and money for you, he is honest enough to tell you that. But, if it is going to benefit you, he will recommend what is best. I highly recommend this group. I am a lifer! Thanks for keeping me smiling!

I was a general dentist for more than 44 years, and have always been on the treating end. But through a sequence of events I found myself as a patient, myself. I had attended many of Dr. Romano's (and Dr. Blieden's) presentations and seminars. My initial evaluation at his office was very informative. The follow- through with my prescribed medications was thorough. Dr. Romano elucidated everything he was about to do, knowing that I would appreciate the play-by-play. All in all, my procedure was exemplary. What a team he and his assistant made. Everything went without a hitch and this morning, I feel very grateful for his compassion and expertise, as I don't require anything for pain control, nor do I have any swelling!! Thank you, so much, Dr. Romano! This practice is the best. Today, Dr. Romano took care of a semi-urgent situation, amidst his already- busy schedule. Rodney O'Connor DMD
