"I went to Dr. Sigafoos for almost a decade for gum care, and during that time my gum health improved and stayed at a decent level. I always found Dr. Sigafoos quite caring and involved and very capable. He does the most thorough deep cleanings (scalar root planing) I've ever had. Staff and office were great."
