    Patient Review 1:

    Rest assured, you are in good hands with Dr. Pechak. I am by my own admission a difficult patient. I had a complex set of dental problems known to me before I visited Dr. Pechak. And I require endless reassurances (the result of a prior bad experience). Dr. Pechak took up my case and all procedures he performed (gum graft/implant) were successful and relatively painless.

    Dr. Pechak's, as a matter of routine, will discuss the reasons for a procedure and the details of the procedure. If you hesitate, he will encourage you to seek a second opinion. He is deft with dental instruments. An important quality when you consider the nerve endings lurking just below the surface of your gums. He practices follow-up calls. He brings you back in for progress checks. He doesn't forget your name. In other words, he's prepared when you walk through the door.

    In my case, Dr. Pechak was part of a three person team of doctors necessary to fix my dental problems. This required coordination across three offices. I didn't have to become the administrator of my own treatment. The doctors spoke with each other and coordinated my treatments flawlessly.

    About Hygienist: Chuckie is Dr. Pechak's assistant. Wonderful person. Competent, funny and warm.

    Treatment Length with Dr. Pechak: ~2 years.

    Patient Review 2:

    Dr. Pechak did my gum grafting surgery (half in Nov 2008 and half in May 2009), and I would highly recommend him. He knows what he's doing without being arrogant or overbearing (as many doctors and dentists can be); in fact, he's quite personable, and he fully explained everything ahead of time. While surgery is never pleasant, his confidence, skill, and pleasant manner made the entire experience as anxiety-free and pain-free as possible. All in all, I had feared gum grafting would be an awful and gruesome ordeal -- but it wasn't. And from what I can tell, the results are exactly as promised.

    His dental assistant, Chuckie, also did a great job, was friendly, and helped put me at ease. Same for the staff at the front desk.

    I will definitely use Dr. Pechak again if I ever have other periodontal needs.

    (Pay no attention to my rating on cost -- I have no idea how his fees compare to others in the area, but there's no button for "don't know.")

    Treatment Length with Dr. Pechak: 6 months.

    Patient Review 3:

    I had recession for 15 years and was reluctant to have gum graft surgery. Dr. Pechak was very informative about the procedure, showing me pictures and statistics, which took away my concern for having the procedure. I did both sides together and was sedated and had no issues. Dr. Pechak and his staff were very considerate, kind and available post-op to answer questions. He did an outstanding job on the surgery and I have a great result both cosmetically and functionally. The sutures were a little annoying so I had several trips to have them removed. The procedure is expensive and my insurance hit the cap quickly but I am glad that I had this preventative procedure done.

    About Hygienist: Chuck (a woman) was Dr Pechak's assistant and she was amazing. She was very kind and always asked how I was feeling. She helped to explain the process every step of the way.

    Treatment Length with Dr. Pechak: 3 months.

    Patient Review 4:

    My dentist referred me to Dr. Pechak because of exposed roots and receeding gums. My consultation with Dr. Pechak revealed that I will need gum grafting all around. I just had my first surgery and it was a very pleasant experience. Absolutely no pain during or after the surgery. I didn't need any sedation, the numbing was enough.

    The office is very relaxing, spa-like even and everyone there is so friendly. I can't say enough about how wonderful my experience was and knowing I will be back for three more surguries doesn't bother me at all.

    Me and my wife come from Sweden, and we are used to good dental care. But Dr Pechak's clinic beat everything we have previously experienced! The wonderfully modern office matches the friendliness, care and ultra-professionalism that we were both met with. It's a great feeling when you can just relax and trust that you are in the best hands! We give them our highest recommendations!

    Patient Review 7:

    Dr. Pechak is the most qualified doctor I have ever received treatment from. Prior to the procedure I was anxious about getting a dental implant and thought it would be painful and disrupt my work schedule. Dr. Pechak handled each procedure so skillfully that I hardly felt any pain, and the implant healed with no complications in less than 3 months.

    The staff in this facility are also all were very helpful and courteous in every way.

    I high recommend Dr. Pechak and his Perio-Implant Center to anyone seeking to get a dental implant.

    Patient Review 8:

    Dr. Pechak is an impressively gifted periodontist who uncommonly blends artistry with dentistry. Another evasive tandem is professionalism and personableness. So few doctors are both preeminent in their fields while simultaneously exhibiting warmth and humanness. Dr. Pechak unquestionably resides in that rarefied distinction.

    Dr. Pechak's "beyond beautiful" office mirrors the beautiful way his staff represents his ideals for treating patients in the most regal manner imaginable! THANK YOU Dr. Pechak and staff!

    I highly recommend Dr. Pechak!! I broke a front tooth crown and had to get an implant. He did an excellent job - very skilled, professional, and efficient. He is extremely nice and answered all my questions. I never had to wait more than 15 minutes before seeing him, and I found it very easy to schedule appointments

    Since I was new to the area, Dr. Pechak even recommended a dentist group (Dr. Christine Hanson) - who I love. The two of them have provided me the best dental care.

    I had my 2nd gum graft with Dr. Pechak. It is painless during and after the procedure and I am very happy with the results as I never thought it would be possible to fix with just gum graft. It has far exceeded my expectations. Dr. Pechak is very honest and gentle, he explained what he can do and what he cannot, what to expect during and after the surgery. No surprise. The post operative instructions detailed on how to take care and what to expect, hours, days, after the surgery. He is highly competent and skilled and provided an excellent service. I highly recommend Dr. Pechak to anybody who has periodontal work to be done.

    I have seen other dentists and specialists, by far he is the best!

    In addition, the staff there is pleasant and professional.

    I wouldn't rate the facility like a health spa, but pleasant enough, comparable to other dental office.

    Dr. Pechak is a unique, highly competent and skilled periodontist. He is unique because he couples "people skills" with his surgical talents. He recently finished preparing three sites for surgical implants. Two of these sites were difficult because the crown of each tooth was gone and he had to remove the root. He made a very unpleasant task into near pain free experience. I am very happy with the results and recommend Dr. Pechak without reservation. He is a "rare find".

    Dr Pechak elegantly and efficiently achieved what previous doctors had told me was impossible.

    Some inadequate grafts by one periodontist left me with worse gum recession than I had started out with, including a whopping 5mm of recession on one tooth! I found Dr Pechak on Dr Oogle and scheduled a consultation visit. Dr Pechak showed me before and after pictures of patients with similar conditions, whose gumlines he had completely restored.

    Dr Pechak did an exquisite job on the surgery. Everything proceeded in a highly organized fashion, and there was no pain. Dr Pechaks attention to detail was evident throughout the surgery. He and his assistant worked together seamlessly. Also, Dr Pechak and his staff are very conscientious about proper hygiene practices, which I greatly appreciate.

    Dr Pechak completely covered the full 5mm of recession on the one tooth and covered the root of another tooth in the same surgery. The recovery was much easier than with the previous grafts I had.

    Dr Pechak and his staff are pleasant and friendly. Im almost sad to be done with my follow-up visits! I will go back for grafts on two more teeth in a few months. Dr Pechak is an exceptional surgeon, and Im very glad to have found him.

    Treatment Length with Dr. Pechak: 8 months.

    Patient Review 16:

    I give my highest level of recommendation for Dr. Pechak to anyone that has a need for periodontal work. I discovered that it was necessary to get an implant many years after an accident that chipped my front teeth. I was concerned and anxious about the aesthetics of an implant given the prominence of the front tooth. Dr. Pechak did an exceptional job considering the aesthetics and the functionality of the implant. My case was complicated and he coordinated and lead the problem solving with my dentist and endodentist to get me the best possible care and implant. He is truly a skilled professional.

    Dr. Pechak was referred to me by my dentist and has far exceeded all of my expectations. He is an expert in his field with the cutting edge technology and knowledge. He and his staff conducted themselves in a professional, friendly, and caring manner. He assessed my needs, clarified my options, and clearly articulated what to expect. He went above and beyond my expectations in the effort made to achieve the best position of my gumline to fit my crowns.

    Given the nature of this process, his knowledge, support and overall approach gave me back my smile, literally and figuratively. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone.

    This was my first implant procedure. The process was relatively quick, totally painless and at a reasonable cost. Before seeing Dr. Pechak I saw another oral surgeon who unnecessarily suggested complicating the procedure by also performing a bone grafting (which apparently was not necessary at all). Dr. Pechak considered all alternatives and then decided on the most proper treatment for me.

    Patient Review 23:

    Dr. Pechak is the best dentist I've ever been to, hands down.

    I was new to the area, and I desperately needed to get some periodontal and implant work done. I chose Dr. Pechak based on the reviews I read here, and it was absolutely the correct decision.

    After a very thorough scaling and root planing, and a pain-free pocket reduction procedure, I was ready to start the implantation process. Dr. Pechak extracted my hopeless front tooth, performed a wildly successful bone graft, and recently placed the implant.

    Throughout all of my procedures, Dr. Pechak was extremely professional, in both his hands-on skills and his caring attitude. He explained every procedure to me thoroughly beforehand, he made sure I felt no pain during, and he called to confirm that I was doing alright afterwards. He was even reachable at nights and on weekends, when I became scared by the post-operative swelling of my face. (There was never any pain, just a swelling that subsided within a few days.)

    In addition, everybody on Dr. Pechak's staff shares the same efficient yet friendly attitude. The only negative thing I can say is his services are costly, but he truly is worth every penny. He has given me a new, healthy mouth, and I highly recommend him.

    Treatment Length with Dr. Pechak: 1+ year.

    Dr. Pechak has done 3 implant procedures for me, one a while ago and two together currently. In the last two implants two teeth needed to be pulled. I chose not to have general anesthetic even tho the nerve was involved in both teeth and there was quite a bit of pain. The results, however were excelent including the bone grafts required for the implants.

    The Implants went in very quickly and relatively painlessly. So far the results for this procedure has been excelent. Both Dr. Pechak and his staff were very professional and helpful. I would definately refer him to family and friends for these kinds of procedures

    Dr Pechak is a young doctor who know his craft very well. I was recommended to him by my dentist Dr Kraus. I have had two dental implants and they are relatively painless. I was extremely happy with the office and his work. I would highly recommend him to my friends and family. He is sensitive, easy going, friendly and a great doctor. My review is 4 stars--thank you Dr. Pechak for a job well done -- Dennis Bevin

    Patient Review 26:

    Dr Pechak did 3 implants in my lower jaw many years ago: excellent results to date.

    Three years ago I needed more implants but couldn't afford the fees for grafting bone in mi upper jaw and resort then to have them done in Costa Rica, at a small fraction of the cost here. At my request they did 5 implants without bone grafting. One of them failed and Dr. Pechak extracted it and performed a bone graft at an exceedingly low cost to help me out, with perfect results!

    Then he proceeded to place 2 implants where the failed one was, and in the same operation --to reduce costs-- placed an implant where one of my front teeth (highly visible) had to be replaced.

    I feel grateful to Dr Pechak for going the extra mile to help me to keep my mouth operational and good looking at a cost that is in no way related to his cutting edge skills and the service he provides.

    I tell everybody that asks me for a dental surgeon to see Dr Pechack before any other, or as a second opinion.

    I love his german precision and his consideration in explaining all the choices in a given situation and the procedure he is going to do.

    Pain? Ha, ha!

    I told him I am a chicken with pain some 5 or 6 years ago, and I am still waiting to feel it in his office.

    I've had two out of 3 of my implants completed so far (in the last phase of the 3rd implant right now). Dr. Pechak has been very clear as to what he is doing. Has bent over backwards to make sure I am comfortable. Even came in over the weekend once when an infection flared up.

    Wish I could use him for all my dental work, but at least he's taking care of my implants and perio work....

    Dr. Pechak recently performed a complex gum graft over my front right tooth (a very visible area!). He first need to extract a diseased (tooth's) root and then repair the hole in my gum with synthetic bone material and gum transplant tissue.

    His expert surgical skills and great knowledge of available synthetic bone materials have completely filled the hole in my gum and produced superb results!

    He is a compassionate person and a talented periodontist. The complex surgery was painless! He was available, post-surgery, to respond to all my questions, both in person and on the phone. I highly recommend Dr. Pechak for his surgical expertise and personal care.

    Dr. Pechak recently performed a gum graft for me for a severeley receded gum line. He was very thorough in explaining the procedure to me and I was very comfortable throughout the process. His follow up was also very good. I still have one gum graft site to operate on and I will certainly return to him to do it.

    Dr. Pechak performed a gum graft on a receding gum line for a tooth that was impacted and broght out with braces. For years other periodontists did not believe that a gum graft was possible, but Dr. Pechak successfully performed the gum graft and I couldn't be happier. He is excellent and if anyone is ever thinking of having this treatment, I highly recommend Dr. Pechak. Now I have the best smile and couldn't be happier!!!

    I had gum grafts done by Dr. Pechak. He was fantastic. Even saw me for a post-op visit on a Sunday because of my concern. Very pleased with the care, treatment and final results. I still do my teeth cleaning there when I return here during the summer.

    I went to Dr. Pechak on two seperate occasions for gum graphs to cover deep pockets on both upper and lower teeth.

    Dr. Pechak was fantastic - he explained the process, showed me examples of past patient results, let me know what to expect in terms of the post surgery results re: pain, swelling, healing and answered all my questions.

    Additionally, Dr. Pechak followed up with me consistently after each operation to ensure that I was doing fine.

    I have already recommended him to others and would give him the highest rating in terms of knowledge, expertise, patient care and overall professionalism and demeanor.

    I was referred to Dr. Peckak by my dentist to do a gum graft. Typically patients are recommended to do one tooth at a time for a gum graft, but due to personal time contraints I had to do all three in one sitting. Although I did all three, my surgery and treatment turned out flawless. Dr. Peckak did an amazing job and I had NO problems at all. From what I've heard gum grafts can be a very painful surgery pending the experience of the doctor. Based on Dr. Peckak's experience I had no discomfort. I was very happy with the procedure and highly recommend Dr. Peckak.

    I highly recommend Dr. Pechak - his manner is professional yet comfortable and his staff knowledgable. I needed an implant and some periodontal work, and Dr Pechak performed both with great skill. I had some pain in the tooth after the extraction and bone treatment, but that was due to a long-standing infection. Dr. Pechak made sure I had enough medication to get me through the "trauma" and followed up w/a phone call that evening. The next visit was the post and it was painless - as was the follow-up phone call. Throughout the whole procedure, Dr. Pechak kept me informed of every detail.

    On another note, I really appreciate the fact that I would walk in and be seen immediately. The room and staff were already prepared and I never had to wait. Everybody's time is valuable and I felt that I was valued as a patient.

    I've already referred several co-workers to Dr Pechak and he will be my first choice if I should ever need another implant.

    Two thumbs up!!!

    This year it became clear that gum graft treatment would be necessary for my receeding gums. As a trauma therapist, I am acutely aware of the impact of the people and situations surrounding any surgical prodecure. I interviewed three periodontists in this area and confidently chose Dr. Pechak. From start to finish, Dr. Pechak is steady, present, extremely skillful and always availble to answer questions. My case is relatively extensive, and I can sense Dr. Pechak's commitment to go the extra mile to accomodate my overall treatment plan. In my first and most extensive procedure, I healed very quickly and experienced nearly no pain. Immediately, I could anticipate my next two more procedures without any qualms or apprehension. I feel very fortunate to have Dr. Pechak's outstanding assitance. Thank You!

    All-around a great experience. Dr. Pechak did palate grafts to my lower gumlines. I love the result (my mouth feels so much healthier and no more sensitivity to cold and heat!). Dr. Pechak is very professional, personable, and kind. I would recommend him to anyone who needs this procedure, even my grandmothers. The only downside was puffy cheeks for about 5 days after the procedure. Pain was minimal.

    My dentist recommended Dr. Pechak to me for some gum grafting work. I was somewhat anxious, just because "grafting" sounds scary and horrible.

    Much to my pleasant suprise, it was just fine! Dr. Pechak did a great job of relieving anxiety by thoroughly explaining the procedure with accomanying photos of "before and after". There was no pain involved in the procedure, nor the recovery period. Dr. Pechak was concerned with my mouth because a few of the teeth had some pretty deep cavities, but the grafting was effective in dealing with this. The front desk staff and general office ambiance is pleasant and welcoming.

    This procedure is not cheap, but I don't feel Dr. Pechak charges any more or less than anyone else.

    I would highly recommend Dr. Pechak to friends and family.

    My dentist recently referred me to Dr. Pechak to complete gum surgery and grafts on several teeth.

    In the pre-op exam, Dr. Pechak did a very good job in explaining the procedure and thoroughly answering questions I had. The procedure itself went well; I appreciated Dr. Pechak's explanations of what he was doing as he progressed through the procedure. He and his assistant also checked with me periodically throughout the procedure to ensure that I was not in pain. After the procedure was completed, I was pleased with the initial results of the gum grafts. The post-op also went well; I had no pain in the recovery period which I think was attributed to being given good advice both verbally and in the information provided by Dr. Pechak in the post-op package.

    I was very impressed with the final results of the surgery and would highly recommend Dr. Pechak to anyone looking for great periodontal treatment and care!

    I am a general dentist in San Jose, CA and I personally asked Dr. Pechak to perform my much needed periodontal surgery on my upper right back molar. Over the years I have known Dr. Pechak to be a very kind professional with great credentials. After he performed my surgery, I found that indeed, he is a wonderful periodontist as well.

    Dr. Pechak administered a flawless injection and he and his team members continuously asked if I was comfortable. During the procedure, Dr. Pechak kept me posted as to the progress of the surgery. He sent me home with a little "care package" that included mouth rinse, emergency phone numbers, and instructions. I had very little post-operative discomfort and he even called me that evening to see how I was feeling.

    I highly recommend Dr. Pechak, not only to patients who need periodontal treatment and care, but to my colleagues.

    I am a patient of Dr. Pechak. As a result of a stress I had some serious periodontal infection and I suddenly lost 3 teeth at extreme upper left. There was also a very significant bone loss so that implants seemed not to be possible. Following Dr. Pechak's advice I went to Dr. Kasey K. Li in Palo Alto reconstructive surgery, who performed a set of surgical procedures to restore the bone to make implants possible. Dr. Li was in constant communication with Dr. Pechak discussing with him the best way to proceed and following his directions. Dr. Pechak has finished my 3 implants this week. I feel enormously happy about it and grateful to Dr. Pechak! When all of this happenned, it was not much hope that I will be able to get the implants. I recommend Dr. Pechak in strongest possible terms.

    Not being familiar with the procedure, Mr. Pechak did a great job of explaining and made me feel at ease in the process. I'm extremely happy with the results of the procedure and have not had any problems since.

    I will certainly seek out Dr. Pechak for any future procedures I might need.

    I am orally dictating this review at 74 I am not computer proficient!

    I saw Dr. Pechak for a 'crown lengthening' procedure. As a US Citizen born in Europe, any trip to the Dentist I find terrifying and have fear and expectations of PAIN!

    NO PAIN no trauma! The staff there is amazing, held my hand the whole way! I can only describe Dr.Pechak's technique as 'light-handed' like a feather, I barely knew he was working -- Dr. Pechak's gentle, nimble skills and experienced techniques which evolve around a minimally invasive approach to my gum tissue left me at home wondering what I was so terrified about! VERY MINOR discomfort and I had a lot of work done! I never took my pain medication as it was not needed and my complete recovery -within a day or so - much sooner than my expectations.

    In closing, my General Dentist, Dr. Varjan quoted that he was 'extremely pleased' with his work and commended him for making his job easier.

    This WAS NOT a referral from my General Dentist, I chose Dr. Pechak myself from his credentials of graduating top of his class from Tufts and other people's positive experiences. I drove two hours from Salinas, it was well worth it. I will return. His website/bio: www.periodocs.com SEE for yourself!

    Recently my dentist referred me to Dr. Pechak in hopes that he could correct the gum grafts I had done by a different periodontist. I am so pleased with the results and the exposed roots are completly covered.

    Dr. Pechak thoroughly discussed pre-, interim and post procedures. He was very honest about expected pain, swelling & recovery time. The personal phone call to my home post-procedure was very appreciated as well.

    His staff is very professional and engaging. I wouldn't equate the facility to a health spa in that the environment is entirely different not to mention the procedures rendered are differnet. Although the valium did help me relax! I would say that the facilities are clean, sterile where required, and very pleasant.

    I highly recommend Dr. Pechak to any individual in need of periodontal work.

    Thank you Dr. Pechak.
