    I felt the dentist was rude at times and made me feel uncomfortable.

    I had an extraction done here a week ago and it was the best experience I've ever had at a dentist…read moreoffice. Fast, friendly, informative. My extraction was a tough one but Dr.Singh did it painlessly and checked in with me every step of the way. I highly recommend his office and will definitely be returning if I need any further work.

    If you have autism or anxiety please stay as far away as physically possible from Mr. Singh…read more Absolute worst dental experience I've ever had. I drove 2.5 hours for what I was explicitly told over the phone was a consultation only for a difficult extraction case. Instead, he walked in and handed me extraction paperwork without even gretting me let alone discussing the issue. He barely spoke to me at all. I repeatedly tried to ask basic questions about the safety of the procedure, whether sutures would be used, and what risks existed given my previous traumatic extraction experience where I experienced severe bleeding and required emergency treatment afterward. He refused to explain the procedure. Refused to give a difinitive answer on if he intended to use sutures. Refused to explain the risks. Refused to give any reassurance whatsoever. The only thing he repeatedly said was: "Do you want it out or not?" I explained that I have autism and needed help understanding what was happening before consenting to a procedure. I explained I was looking to reassure safety and Instead of showing even basic patience or professionalism, he became visibly irritated that I was asking questions and wanted time to think about it. He explicitly stated no one else would pull the tooth due to my insurance. He then told me due to my "anxiety" id have to find an oral surgeon. When I pointed out he just stated no one else would do the surgery, he shrugged and walked away. It was very much a "take it out today or never" situation- an "accept my work, or get out" type of guy. So glad he didn't put his hands anywhere near me. (You heard that right, he didn't even look in my mouth at all before determining he was capable). He refused to let me take a few days to decide and said I cannot get it now. The assistants were kind to me, and the receptionist did admit the appointment had been scheduled as a consultation only like I said. None of my frustration is directed at them. Honestly, what disturbed me most was how afraid everyone seemed to speak up around the dentist. When his behavior was excused with "it's been a hard day," I said that is not an excuse to take it out on an autistic patient asking reasonable safety questions before consenting to an invasive procedure. No patient should be treated like a burden for wanting informed consent and basic compassion. I have avoided dentists for nearly 15 years because of a prior traumatic experience, and this was one of the worst medical interactions I have ever had. No patient should be pressured into an invasive procedure without answers, without informed consent, and without basic human compassion. If you are autistic, anxious, medically traumatized, or simply want a dentist willing to answer questions before pulling your teeth, stay far away from this office. These reviews must be paid, because he deserves 1 star.

    Firstly, Yelp has his name wrong. He is William K Tom, not Tom K William. His last name is Tom…read more I had a very painful infected tooth that, unfortunately, had to be removed. I live in Eureka, CA. The one and only oral surgeon in Eureka could not get me in for 2 months. There is no way I could wait. My regular dentist recommended the office of Dr. Steven R Boettger and Dr. William K Tom in Ukiah CA. Ukiah is a bit of a drive from Eureka but I could get an appointment is less than a week instead if waiting for 2 months. Dr. Tom is so wonderful! His staff is most excellent too. Dr. Tom, my regular dentist, and my thoracic surgeon and the only 3 medical people ever who engendered trust in me and put me at ease immediately like they do. I don't know how they manage that but it is a rare skill. I especially liked the way Dr. Tom explained everything thoroughly and made sure that all my questions were answered. He did not talk down to me as some dentists and doctors tend to do. Instead, he talked to me as an intelligent person. Dr. Tom did an excellent job on the extraction. I seem to be healing well although the work was only yesterday. I am so pleased with Dr. Tom that I will go back to him if i decide to have dental implants. Driving from Eureka to Ukiah is well worth the drive and the extra expenses of travel for the A+++ oral surgery and outstanding staff. I enthusiastically recommend Dr. Tom to anyone who needs his services.

    Dr Tom is such a good oral surgeon that I almost look forward to have the procedure. ALMOST! I…read morehave been coming to him for more than 10 years. He is a great dentist.
