They are great! Going to a dentist isn't my favorite. I've had a few not so good experiences over the years. What adds to my reluctance to go regularly is I have very sensitive teeth and I hate needles! Dr. Tullis & all his staff are very gentle & compassionate. Nikki (assistant) had me laughing easily which definitely helped with my nerves. I will recommend So Co Periodontics to everyone!

I have been here twice. The second time for some surgery. It was a good experience. Dr Tullis is great. He explained everything. His assistant Nikki is wonderful. Turns out I knew her so that made it even better. Mary did scaling on my teeth and she is good also. I highly recommend this group. You won't be sorry. I'm glad I picked him for my periodontal needs!!!!.

Great experience today. Was getting root scraping and an extraction done.They number me up with the gel first. Didn't feel the needles going in. Was perfectly numb. Hooked me up with a halcion pill. Makes you seriously chill.Tooth extraction was really uneventful.All in all, this crew is very friendly and all Rick at their jobs. I'm thankful I ended up going here. Zero anxiety.Thanks crew.Wes

I had to have deep cleaning done to my gums in order to get surgery. Dr. Tully’s and his staff are some of the best individuals. Surgery went well and everyone helped me with a speedy recovery. 10/10 will use them again.

Dr Tullis and his team are the best.... fun and very professional; great listeners; super accommodating with scheduling and last-minute changes; very attentive and well-executed on local anesthesia.... Nikki, the lead assistant on my recent visit is the BEST, and works so well with Dr Tullis. The Doc is very thorough and communicates well and clearly which is so appreciated. Highly Recommended.

The staff here is very friendly and professional. No one “enjoys” going to get dental work done, but SoCo Perio makes you feel comfortable and puts your mind at ease. I would highly recommend this business!

Southern Colorado Perio is the BEST! Not one to brag about surgery, but I would like to publicly say thank you! The professional acumen and personable staff made all the difference. Special kudos to Mary, Julie, Erin, and one other lady who tuned-in my favorite music to ease the process. Thank you, and Merry Christmas!

To anyone who don’t like PAIN at the Dentist; Dr Tullis only delivers PAIN FREE BONE GRAFTING or so was my experience today. Don’t make the mistake of going anywhere else for your dental implant surgery! Perfection is worth searching for and i was up for the challenge and I am a winner!!
Fred H.
I was referred to Dr. Tullis for a gum graft. Dr.Tullis and his office staff were very friendly, professional and caring. Great overall experience. All my questions were answered and surgery was explained including post care. Cindy and Nikki, dental assistants, were excellent in making sure my needs were met. The graft was a success and I am very happy with the result.
Diane N.
Everyone at Southern Colorado Periodontics, especially Erin and Dr. Tullis, was friendly, informative and explained my procedure in detail. I appreciated their professionalism and humor during the procedure. I recommend Dr. Tullis to anyone needing periodontal work.
Sheila M.
Dr Tullis and the staff are very friendly and take good care of you during your visit. During my surgeries they made sure I was very comfortable and experienced no pain. Nikki, the doctor's assistant during one of my visits was very fun and made the situation very easy to handle. And Dr Tullis is a blues music fan, so we had some great tunes playing during the procedure! If you need periodontal work done, I would highly recommend Dr Tullis and his staff!

I shopped around before finding Dr. Tullis. I couldn't imagine being anywhere else now. Dr. Tullis is a friendly, understanding, respectable, honest, intelligent, and highly experienced oral surgeon. But it's not just him. He has an entire team that is amazing (Mary, Nikki, and Erin). They work together seamlessly - like they all have ESP. They have fun together and respect one another. It is a very comfortable place to be (which says a lot for a periodontist's office). During surgery, I enjoy hearing Dr. Tullis talk to his technicians about some of the more clinical aspects of the dental work. They are all extremely understanding and supportive of patients that are nervous about their oral surgery. It is apparent that Dr. Tullis and his team love their field. I completely trust Dr. Tullis' recommendations and treatment plans. I will recommend Southern Colorado Periodontics to everyone I know.
DEBRA T.
I have always been very nervous about going to get work done on my teeth and gums. However, going to Southern Colorado Periodontics has changed that for me! They have always been very welcoming, accommodating and made me feel at ease. I always feel like I'm in very good hands. I have been here for Root Planing & Scaling and saw Mary, who was a delight! I felt very comfortable and the procedure was easy for me. Second I went in to have a piece of gum removed by Dr Tullis and Erin. They are both wonderful and also made me feel very comfortable. I had a wonderful time! I highly recommend this place to anyone!
Emily O
They are very friendly and make you feel welcomed, and help keep the patient calm as much as possible. Clean office. The doctor explained the at home care well and answered any questions. They even took my husband out to the car in a wheelchair and made sure he was good to go. I feel they are a great place and go a bit the extra mile for their patients. Was nice to see and to have. Cindy was great ! So glad we have been referred to them.

ron B.
Dr Tullis and Nicki (Assistant) did a fantastic job! This was my first time having periodontal work done. They thoroughly explained what to expect as well as post-surgical care. They were both professional and understanding throughout the procedure. I am very pleased with the results!
Barbara E.
Dr. Tullis is a top notch periodontist/oral surgeon and Nikki is in the same league. Dr. Tullis went way beyond what the original treatment plan had called for and removed some of the bone growth that interfered with the gum tissue plus pulling a wisdom tooth and 4 hours later I am perfectly fine and up and running again.
Michael S.
Researched Periodontists & made an appt prior to my move to Co Spgs. So happy I chose Dr. Tullis! Entire staff was warm & friendly. Nikki, his assistant was so attentive and put me at ease about the gum procedure I was having done. Dr. Tullis explained everything and the best part, no pain while having the numbing shots! Really a great experience all things considered. Highly recommend Dr. Tullis & his staff.
Debbie B.
Dr Tullis does excellent procedures, along with his assistant Nikki. They make sure you’re comfortable.They give you all the information regarding your treatments. I have called Dr Tullis after hours & he gave me the best customer service. The Hygienist Mary is great as well! I recommend this practice!
Michele M.
I hate the Dentist usually, but I love coming here. Everyone is so friendly and makes you feel like family. Not only that but they are gentle. and know what they are doing. You are in good hands with this clinic and the lovely people within it. <3
Christina A.
I can't say enough about Dr. Tullis and his entire staff. Dr. Tullis and his assistant, Cindy, stayed past office hours to work on a dental issue I was having. They were both patient and took their time to make sure everything was just right before I left. Dr. Tullis communicates throughout the procedure, checking in about comfort and my pain levels. Thank you for all your great work. It is nice to know I am in such good hands!

The personnel in the office were very friendly and welcoming. I was seen for a gum issue, the procedure was completed and I had no pain after it was done. I highly recommend Dr. Tulllis and his staff.

I needed to have work on a dental implant from nine years ago. Dr. Tullis was wonderful as was the support team. Great care and painless.
dola H.
I've had two procedures done and have been overwhelmingly impressed with how painless both the procedure and the recovery period is. Highly, highly recommend Dr. Tullis and his crew if you are needing any kind of periodontics work done.
Tom B.
Dr. Tullis and his staff make any procedure they perform seem ordinary and put the patients mind at ease by going over all the steps they are going to perform.

Dr. Tullis does a great job and is very reliable. His assistant Nikki was fun and encouraging during my surgery. I would highly recommend going here.
Ben W.
Dr. Tullis, Nikki, and team have been so amazing to work with. I always experience a tremendous amount of anxiety when going in for any dental work/procedures. Nikki was so kind and patient with me. She even cracked a few jokes to help ease my nerves, which I thoroughly appreciated. Dr. Tullis made sure I didn't experience any pain during the procedure, and even called me later that evening to see how I was doing. I've never had any health care providers call me afterwards. It was a breath of fresh air and I highly recommend Dr. Tullis and his team!
Sarita S.
I had a great first visit! The receptionist and assistant were professional, kind, and personable. Dr. Tullis also exuded a quiet confidence balanced with humility, and he was gentle and reassuring. He didn’t seem rushed or annoyed by my questions, and his recommendations seemed logical and reasonable. I would highly recommend this office. (:

Dr. Tullis and his team are great and truly care about the patient. He takes time to answer any questions and calls after a procedure to make sure you are not having any problems. We highly recommend SoCo Periodontics & Implants.

I had a wonderful experience at this office. I went to get a teeth cleaning 8 months pregnant and Mary made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Dr Tullis and staff were all very friendly.
Adriana V.
Dr. Tullis and his staff are exceptional! From the front office lady (Hannah) being so knowledgeable and supportive, to the back staff being so genuine and sweet. My dental assistant Cindy was so sweet and cared about my comfort. Dr. Tullis was very thorough and answered all of my questions and made sure that I felt comfortable with everything that was going to be done. I would recommend this office to anyone that is in need of oral care including implants. I love my new smile! Thank you Dr. Tullis and staff!!

Dr. Tullis and his team are 2nd to none! My experience involved 2 dental implants in the same day, and it was an excellent experience. They made certain that I was comfortable and answered all of my questions. They ensured that I understood the process and the aftercare that would be required. Dr. Tullis took time from his weekend to call me on a Sunday to follow up and ensure that everything was as it should be, I've never had follow up from any healthcare provider like I experienced with this office. Thank-You Dr. Tullis and team for all that you do and for my exceptional experience!
