Dr. Eastman and his team provide top-notch service, from the front office to the procedure room. It surprised me to see such a skilled periodontic surgeon spend so much time with his patients, patiently educating and explaining treatment options. I can attest to his expertise as my issues were very challenging and complicated with personal time restraints. I will be forever thankful for the successful results and Dr. Eastman's exceptional knowledge and superb surgical skills.

This is only my 3rd ever review-my second for Eastman. Dr Christie recommended 4 of my teeth be pulled and $14,000 worth of work. While this is one option 3 dentists and 2 periodontists at two different facilities have x-rayed and examined my mouth. ALL 5 of these medical professionals agreed that pulling my teeth is a far too aggressive approach for my age and overall health.
They ALL also agreed that it would be prudent to begin my treatment with Scaling and Root Planing before recommending surgery. In addition Eastman did not even address the issue of my needing a night guard which can greatly reduce more damage to my teeth. What bothered me was Dr Christie and her staff were unwilling to discuss any alternative to pulling 4 of my teeth and surgery.
I asked about possibly doing the SRP but there was no discussion. I realize Dr Christie has seen very progressive and damaging cases of periodontal disease and may have felt this aggressive treatment to be the best. However, 5 professionals disagreed and were only told of Dr Christie's recommends after they gave their own. If you aren't comfortable with a treatment plan get a second opinion before going forward.
It may be deemed necessary to do gum surgery in the future-however I am happy that these other professionals see the benefits of listening to my concerns and trying less aggressive treatment that is recommended by the American Dental Association and other professional dental agencies as first steps.

Everyone at Dr. Eastman's TWO offices is focused on the patient. It is a well-run practice in which each employee has a job to guide the patient through what are often multi-step, multi-appointment procedures. They are very sensitive to any anxiety a patient may be feeling and every person, from the front desk to Dr. Eastman himself, as well as his daughter, Dr. Craighead, will spend as much time with you as you need them to alleviate your anxiety and answer questions. They really made things easy with the coordination with my dentist and with insurance company as well. This is a top-notch place with caring professionals.

From consult to procedure to follow-up Dr. Christie & Team ensured that I was prepared for a "diamond" healing. Christie was highly recommended for my laser frenectomy and I'm so grateful for the masterful work she executed. I have heard and read of 100's of people around the globe having frenectomies done and unfortunately many aren't prepared for the procedure; much less the healing protocol.
I was in excellent hands and have the "diamond" sought after healing that has opened up the door for all the benefits of having released tongue-tie. Professional and Top-Notch Team. Highly recommend for any out-of-the-ordinary care your mouth needs!

I have a very debilitating fear of dentists. This fear comes from one major bad experience and several recent and some would say minor bad experiences. I was referred to Eastman Periodontics by another periodontics office who I recommend as well. The entire staff is sincerely all about the patients comfort. At no point in my treatments and procedures did I feel that they weren't taking my apprehension seriously.
They were compassionate, professional, and comforting. I even called on a Sunday morning about a concern and Dr Craighead responded within 10 minutes! Who in the medical community does that? Dr Craighead does!. I highly recommend this office. Both Mr and Mrs Craighead are wonderful.

I must say, I have never experienced a more thorough and friendly group of professionals at any dental practice I have been to. I look forward to my treatment with total confidence in this team. Thanks to Dr Christie in particular for taking the time to explain everything to me in such great detail! Thumbs way up!

Dr. Eastman and Kimberly are truly the most caring, compassionate professionals. I have horrible anxiety when it comes to anything wrong with my teeth. Dr. Eastman is one of a kind! He takes his time to understand what you are going through. I had a 4:00 appointment which they worked me in for and stayed until 6:00. Although I knew they all probably stayed a little later than usual no one made me feel uncomfortable at all. I highly recommend Dr. Eastman. Very intelligent compassionate Dr. who will do whatever he can to help you feel better.

I haven't been to Doctor Eastm@n in years however when I called in for an appointment not only was I given an appointment within a couple of weeks, they still had my records from my previous appointments. Everyone was so pleasant and explained every procedure. Alicia, Dr Eastman's assistant was wonderful in explaining every step she preformed. When Dr Eastman came into the examine room it was like I had I had just been there last month.
He has previously worked on all of our family, myself, our two daughters and continually worked on my husband. He is so knowledgeable and so honest about your dental needs that you immediately feel comfortable and cared for. He is highly thought of by all members of my family and truly a caring and likable person. My visit turned out well and I felt reassured about my dental concerns and treatment. Thanks Dr. Eastman!

I had a situation which required treatment ASAP. I was not an established patient and Dr. Eastman's schedule was already full that day. He and his staff were kind enough to accommodate me. Even though they worked late because of me, they were all still unhurried, smiling, friendly and wonderful. Dr. Eastman's expertise is extremely impressive. I have great confidence in his knowledge and abilities. An added plus is his warm and friendly personality.
I felt as if I had known him for years. Even though I was nervous due to complicated dental surgery, his wonderful "bedside manner" soon put me at ease. The care I received from him and his staff was outstanding down to the last detail. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Eastman and his staff. I sincerely thank them for the care and treatment I received.

This dental office gave me one of the best experiences I have ever had (and I have been to many). Everything was so thoroughly explained to me. Dr. Lindsay Eastman and Alicia were truly first class. Recommend them 100 %. The personnel in the office were very friendly and gracious. Nobody likes going to a dentist, but you will love Eastman Periodontics.

I just completed the first part of a complex periodontal surgery with Dr. Lindsay Eastman. I am pleased to say that given the amount of work he had to do, I had a wonderful experience. I was well prepared for the surgery, his office staff, was extremely helpful, and Dr. Eastman himself could not have been kinder and gentler with me. I was made comfortable throughout the surgery and I felt no pain.
I was sent home with clear instructions on wound care, medications, and anything else I might conceivably need. Dr. Eastman called me himself later in the evening to check with me that all was well. Much to my surprise, I was also sent a surprise gift of a floral arrangement. I do not see how anyone could do things better than Dr. Eastman and his staff.

What a great experience my son had with Dr. Eastman and Eastman Periodontics. Friendly reception, patient and knowledgeable assistants and expertise and professionalism of Dr. Eastman who has a wonderful bedside manner. We immediately felt at ease with knowing we had chosen the right provider! 100% satisfied with the results. I would highly recommend Eastman Periodontics.

After moving to Florida from Illinois I had to find a new periodontist to start work on my teeth that was not started in Illinois due to COVID. The initial appointment with Dr Eastman was very thorough and in talking to him and his staff I felt both confident and comfortable in him proceeding with the work that needed to be done on my mouth. Dr Eastman contacted my dentist back in Illinois and designed an action plan for my procedure which my former dentist agreed with.
The office staff went over the cost of each procedure and timeline and also recommended a local dentist. I am extremely pleased with the work Dr Eastman performed on my mouth and the detail in which he and his staff staff cared for me during my procedure. I would highly recommend Dr Eastman to anyone needing a great periodontal surgeon. My experience with him and his staff receive an 'A+'.

I've seen both Dr. Lindsay Eastman in 2011 and Dr Christy Eastman this year. Dr Lindsay has grown his practice into a family oriented atmosphere with the patient in mind. His daughter who recently joined him is as thorough as he is (which is invaluable)! Dr Christy's skills are integrated flawlessly into a multifaceted practice to take the best care of patients. Their family cares for your family like their own which is why I recommend them to my patients, friends and family. Dr Lorie Thompson
