personal attention to patients. This is summarized below by a member of
his practice:
"Dr. Price is an excellent, well-educated and friendly periodontist.
He always provides patients with what he feels is the best treatment option
for their health and comfort, but never pressures patients into active
treatment. He is attentive, often personally contacting patients or
their general dentists regarding treatment. Patients are informed of
their condition in a 'down to earth' fashion, and are always kept
well-informed."

involved in academics. He participates in lectures and seminars
throughout the United States and currently serves as Professor of Periodontics
