Dr. Katz with his staff is a professional, pleasant and efficient office given the nature of their services. A patient is in the chair for serious dental work so it pays to have a periodontist whose hands are skilled and the mind is sharp. This is exactly what you will experience at Rhode Island Periontics. The front office is terrific as well. I am relieved that I am a patient of the practice and my dental woes will be no longer!

The team at RI Periodontics and Dr. Pham have always been uber professional and treated me with care like I was one of their family. Dr. Pham continues to make me feel like I want to come back to this practice for any work I may need to have done. He goes above and beyond every time to make sure I'm completely satisfied. I can't recommend these guys enough.

Like everyone else I don't like going to the dentist..... I had to have a mola extracted And it wasn't going to be the highlight of my day. I went for my consultation with Doctor Katz.I got a really good feeling about this guy I said to myself. I made my appointment For the extraction I went to his office in Providence everyone in the office was so friendly. While I was getting my tooth extracted Dr Katz and his assistant kept my mind busy with some stories. Before I knew it the tooth was out and I even asked Dr. Katz "your done". I would have had this Extracted a long time ago if I know it was gonna be like no pain at all ,didn't feel anything. Great job Dr Katz and thank you.
