Karla Z Roman, DMD

I had a dental implant put in with anesthesia, which I had a lot of anxiety. Dr. Roman was very gentle, and even sang while she was finding a vein for the needle! I just felt that I was in wonderful and experienced hands with her! I had little pain with my dental procedure, and after care. I would recommend her wholeheartedly! Her staff seems very experienced as well.

Dental care is very stressful for me because I had a lot (too much) work done as a kid and moving my teeth so much caused gum recession, correcting that and protecting my teeth is very important but also very expensive. I only recently obtained dental insurance after being in school and I went to Dr. Roman's office. The staff at this office are very professional and patient- I got all of my questions answered. Dr. Roman is thorough, kind, and highly skilled making me feel more comfortable with the procedures and trusting her recommendations.

Dr. Roman and her staff were simply outstanding and highly professional. I saw her for a molar extraction and implant process over about a six month period. The process went very well and was virtually pain free.

My husband received dental work by Dr. Roman and her staff as part of getting three implants. She and her staff were professional, caring and made the entire experience as "pleasant" as a dental visit can be. He was dreading the procedures and still talks about what a positive experience it was. I have recently had "deep root cleanings" there and also found Dr. Roman, her staff and the office environment to be exceptional. I actually looked forward to my sessions, as I knew I was in very capable hands -- the technician was outstanding. I can't recommend Dr. Roman and her staff enough.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Roman and her staff. I have been going to her ever since she purchased the practice of another periodontist ("he whose name shall not be mentioned"). Her predecessor was such that I drove five hours one way to use a peer in the Bay Area...enough said.
My existing dentist (Dr. Omey) has me in for visits twice a year and Dr. Roman sees me twice as well.
From the very beginning, Dr. Roman and her staff have been the Gold Standard for patient care. Since they moved into newer quarters, the ambiance has been top notch as well. Last week I was there for my scheduled visit and each bay had the window open. Now it was 42 degrees outside and I was concerned. But they swaddled me in blankets and the fresh air not only eased my COVID concerns but the outside air flow put me in a meditative state. Cassandra, my favorite hygienist, has not only top notch dental skills but a personality second to none.
I have lived all over the world and have never had a better team. Kudos to Doctor Roman...her high standards are reflected throughout her organization!

I had a wonderful experience at this office. I was extremely nervous for the xrays due to a terrible experience in the past at another office. Cori was simply amazing and put my mind at ease. She was sweet, patient, had ideas of how to make it easier on me and convinced me we were a team and would do our best together. Definitely recommend.

Dr. Roman is an excellent dentist. I Have been coming here for several years and can highly recommend her and her team. The hygenists here are great also and the office staff friendly. Dr. Roman is very attentive to her patients and takes her time to do top quality work.

My husband was a patient of Dr. Roman's for approximately three years and never missed an appointment. When we changed primary dentists, our new provider said he no longer needed to see Dr. Roman. Our new provider called to request his records, and told Dr. Roman's staff my husband would no longer be seen by Dr. Roman. Three months later we received a bill for a missed appointment. When I called and spoke to the Office Manager (Alyssa), she said they called our house to confirm the appointment. We never got that call and Alyssa insisted I pay the $75 missed appointment charge. Ouch! Wonder how long we doubled up my husband's cleaning appointments with no need? Hmmm..... knowledge is power, so thought I'd share.

I've seen periodontitis for over 20 years. After moving here I found myself in Dr. Roman's care. Basically she it's the only one who specializes in periodontal care. My visits are useless, she doesn't do anything. She recommends that one come in and all that is done is a teeth cleaning which is very expensive compared to ones dentist. She doesn't bother to come in and see me during the visit. The few times that she has bothered to come in, she looks in my mouth and just says "humm". That's the visit. A waste of time and money.

Dr. Román was very nice and so were her staff. The reason for the 3 stars is this... the after care sucked. I had a gum graft done. 1 week later I went for a check-up. I explained that one of the stitches was catching on my lip every time I talked and I couldn't wait to get them out. She trimmed the stitch and said they had to remain for another 1 1/2 weeks. Three days later I couldn't take it any more. The stitch she had trimmed was constantly stabbing the inside of my cheek and lip. It had created a couple of wounds that made it painful to talk, eat, and even sleep. I called Dr. Román's office on the 4th day and was told that she was on vacation and had a protocol that had to be followed. I begged them to do something as I was on the verge of removing the stitches myself. It hurt that bad. Her assistant had me come in and looked at it. She called another dentist office for advice and then told me I was just going to have to deal with it for another week. She recommended some cancer sore patches to cover the wounds. I understand that everyone deserves to take a vacation. But that's why you have a backup. I'm not a doctor or anything, but I don't take any time off unless I know my job is 100% covered. If I had known she would not be around to provide after care, I would have postponed my procedure or not done it at all. At the moment, I am not happy with the way the graft looks. I think my gums looked better before. But I understand I am still healing and it will most likely look better given time. My complaints are not about her abilities. She is a wonderful and friendly doctor and her staff is equally as friendly. My complaints are strictly because of the after care.
