If you are facing significant dental services and are nervous about the journey, I highly recommend Dr. Godat and his team. I had gum surgery and bone grafting a year ago and have been thoroughly pleased with the process thus far. It has given me a new lease on my dental hygiene and, given that my gums are healthy enough for implants, I am hopeful that I’ll soon have the smile that I’ve dreamed of having. The receptionists are kind and welcoming and the hygienists have all been extremely encouraging and communicative, consistently offering tips and tools for dental maintenance. Jane was especially thorough and attentive. I am grateful that I found this office.
Periodontal Associates of Memphis is a great operations model with exceptional staff! Personnel are friendly, courteous, and very talented. From day one till final completion, I was always fully informed of the procedure to be done, how it went, and what was next. All questions were fully answered, and Dr Godat was personally involved in the communications process. Highly recommended! Kudos to Dr Godat & his superb staff!
I would highly recommend Dr. Godat and his staff to anyone. I had all my bottom teeth removed, then bone & tissue grafting, and 3 implants to attach a bottom denture. Then I had tissue grafting on my upper teeth where the gum had receded to almost the roots. I was always treated like I was the only patient that day and so professional as well as friendly. This office goes out of its way to prevent infection. They tell you exactly what they are going to do and how to make what they do successful. They did their part and I did mine so it was a truly satisfying experience. PS I have always been apprehensive when it comes to dental work, but they made me feel at ease. I was privileged to have the best in this field—-Dr. Mitchell Godat and his entire staff.
I am very pleased with my surgery that was done by Dr. Godat earlier this year. In fact, I was so pleased that I recommended Dr. Godat to my wife and she changed an appointment for an implant that she was doing with another dentist and had the work done by Dr. Godat. We are both pleased with the work that was done by Dr. Godat and his staff.
The experience for my son was a very good one. He was calmed by your technicians and Dr. Godat made his surgery and sedation and easy experience. I would recommend your practice and have done so, again.
Without a doubt the best! The first question was…would you recommend our services? Indeed! Having had some major surgery including surgical tooth extractions and bone grafts, the pain was minimal and required very little of the pain medication. Dr. Godat is superb and an expert in his field. The staff from the front door when you walk in to the exam room and other services, every patient is greeted with a SMILE! Still in post op treatment as I write, if you or someone you know needs/requires periodontal services, look no further. Thank you Dr. Godat for saving me from a mistake that I know I would have regretted! This patient is a huge fan!!!
The staff and Dr. Godat are amazing! I knew exactly what to expect prior to my procedure and the results couldn’t be better. I had a question regarding the healing the day after my procedure and I was able to speak directly to Dr. Godat rather than go through other staff members. To me, that is invaluable. I highly recommend this office!
My husband and I are both dentists and we absolutely have the utmost respect for Dr. Godat and Dr. Craddock. They are not only very professional but also very good at what they do. They come highly recommended by us both!
The doctor and staff are professional and very knowledgeable about dealing with varied dental problems. They explain whatever procedures are necessary and the costs. No physical pain but some in the bank account. But you will find some compensation in the caring and supportive relationships with the doctor and staff. Dr. Godat also sends both the referring doctor and patient a letter summarizing the treatment and any plans for future work.
Dr. Godat and his staff are the most courteous and helpful folks that I have come across in a professional situation. I was able to overcome my attack of nerves very quickly from the confidence and reassurance I received.
I was a problem patient in that I was not easy to sedate fully. Dr. Godat did a wonderful job, working under difficult circumstances. My implants are wonderful! I’m very pleased with the results and highly recommend this practice!
I had the best experience. All of the staff were wonderful to work with. They walked me through everything so there were no surprises. Dr. Godat even personally called me after to make sure everything was going well. When I went to the office for my follow up appointments, everyone knew my name and it felt so welcoming. I highly recommend Periodontal Associates of Memphis!
Dr. Godat and staff – you ALL provide the best care especially considering how difficult some of us can be with all the work we need! Thank you very much.
Periodontal Associates provides outstanding service. From the moment one enters the office, staff are friendly, helpful, skilled and caring. For those of us who have experienced difficult dental issues for a long time, that characteristic of “caring” is especially important. A few years ago, I went to Dr. Godat for a second opinion: I had been told by another periodontist that I had periodontal disease but I was skeptical. After extensive examination and review of my dental history, Dr. Godat assured me that I did not have periodontal disease. He was able to resolve my dental issues and has also performed a dental implant. I have recommended him to several of my friends. I think he is simply the best! Not only is he an exceptionally knowledgeable and highly skilled periodontist, he is also a really nice person.
I would like to thank Dr. Godat and his lovely staffs for the amazing job that they do! I had a dental implant placed and crown lengthening done back in September 2015 and could not have been more pleased with the outcome! My self confidence is now on a whole new level after my crown lengthening procedure was done! They have been more than great during the whole process and have made my whole experience wonderful! I will definitely recommend them to everyone I know! 🙂
