Dr. Ruprecht,was excellent, as always. I like to mention in particular, Ingrid, the hygienist. As in the past, she was very thorough, informative, and efficient. She took care of the issues in my mouth and she provided very satisfying solutions. As a whole, a very rewarding experience.

I came to Dr. Ruprecht feeling embarrassed about what was going on with my mouth and carrying a lot of anxiety. She was incredibly gentle and made me feel cared for and at ease. After years of not knowing what was wrong, I finally got a diagnosis. She also uncovered a significant amount of restorative work that needs attention following treatment I had with Dr. Sands in Beverly Hills. She took the time to explain everything to me, and I finally feel like I’m on the path to getting this resolved and having my life back. She even prayed for me, my health, and my family. Dr. Ruprecht is truly one of a kind, and I feel like God brought me to her.

DR. RUPRECHT is technically superb and as my periodontist specialist has saved my aging teeth by performing complex procedures:a bone graft, pocket reduction surgery and laser preventative treatment.Amazingly no pain, rapid healing, great results. Dr. Ruprecht is also a very personable caring professional. Laura is the most knowledgeable and the best hygienist I have ever seen for maintenance.Office staff is excellent .As a medical professional myself I thank Dr.Ruprecht and staff and they have my highest recommendation.
