I am so excited to write this review. I was so excited to have my third appointment with Doctor…read moreWilson today! Did I tell you I was excited? Did I tell you, he is a dentist? Or rather a specialist of sorts. He does the hard stuff the stuff beyond an X-ray and regular check up and cleaning. So than why am I so excited? Because the whole experience has been wonderful! The front desk handled reception, appointments, and billing. She calls your Innsurance prior to your treatment, laying out very clearly what's covered and what you will need to pay out of pocket. I hate surprise bills and there have been no surprises! Then Cindy takes you into the back. Cindy reviews how you use a toothbrush, dental floss, etc turns out I still had plenty to learn! Cindy is a creature of habit and has wonderful healthy habits and routines to share with you. She will also gladly talk to you about her dog, her search for a new endurance horse and how much she loves where she lives and the community she serves. Cindy is akin to a battle warn nurse. She has seen it all and does not flinch and right away you know you are in good capable reliable hands. And then Dr Craig Wilson attends to you. He is calm steady friendly with a restrained warmth to him. He talks you through everything. He put a hand on my hand for the briefest moment squeezed it and said "I don't want you to be nervous and I am here to make sure you can relax" Can I tell you a secret? I was so nervous! Yep me, my one hand was clutching my arm and the other hand was crossing its fingers (like that would help) Anyway he continued to assert he was here to take good care of me and that included taking away unhealthy fears and putting me at ease. Once we actually got down to work his skill at managing pain, I found to be flawless. Slow and steady wins the race in this office. My appointment started and ended on time and at no time did anyone rush. In fact Dr Wilson kept explaining, kept checking in, kept applying subtle pressure, and kept his promise and my trust. So after two visits I was so excited for today's third. I already knew what would happen how the woman at the front desk would smile at me and walk me through my payment validating what I already knew. She would set up my next appointment making sure I had all the flexible I needed to align to my schedule. How Cindy would greet me warmly and efficiently and how soothed and relaxed I would feel by the time Dr Wilson started his treatment. Seriously, and this is the truth, I asked how often I could get treatment. The answer was "the goal is not to need it" of course Dr Wilson is right but if I do need it again there is nothing to be afraid of and every advantage to be had. Thanks for letting me share how great going to a specialist in the dental field can be! No wish me luck on my check in within a few weeks! I am hoping Cindy finds I did exactly as she instructed and our good doctor is as pleased with my results as I am with his offices

I know Craig Wilson personally. He is a great man and a very accomplished medical provider. He…read moreand his office have skill, experience and compassion, and show it at every visit and phone call. The staff is organized and highly informative. I recommend Dr. Wilson's office to anyone unfortunate enough to need periodontal treatment. He'll even laugh at your bad jokes.

I'm really saddened to read the other reviewer's experience. Dental work is expensive, and I've…read moreseen many dentists throughout the years. Dr. Gock is by far the best and most fairly priced. Dr. Gock has been our family dentist for several years (on the recommendation of a friend). Both myself, my husband, my two small children, and my mother (when she is visiting from Canada) go here. I also work with people who have disabilities and have heard from coworkers that Dr. Gock performed work at a reduced cost. Dr. Gock is very kind, funny, and great with my kids. She schedules only one person at a time and does all the cleanings herself. When she couldn't do my daughters fillings (due to her being way too wiggly) she recommended a pediatric dentist, which was much MUCH more expensive. I recommend Dr. Gock to everyone I know. Mary, the receptionist, is always friendly and was fast to email me paperwork (that I had lost) to register my son for kindergarten. She is also great with my kids, as they often "rearrange" the lobby while waiting on their sibling.

I took my son in June for his cleaning she hardly did anything ( no cleaning, no fluoride) to his…read moreteeth. Later he complain of tooth pain in Oct took him back, she said it look good. I decided to change dentist and in Dec took him to a different that was able to identify my son had a few deep cavities. I'm so glad I made the change. Don't go to her.

Dr. Sejud is the most outstanding surgeon I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I just meet him…read moretwo days ago and he pulled three of my root canal teeth and 1 cavitation for me yesterday. I've had awful dental experiences and 2 other oral surgeon experiences that were less than pleasant. First, his office staff was very helpful and kind. They really worked with me and that meant the world to me. When I called to talk to them I didn't feel like I was bothering them. I had a lot of questions too and took up quite a bit of their time. I needed to make sure this was the right fit for me as I have very serious health issues. The day before my surgery I meet the doctor. He was very friendly, I felt like I had known him for a long time. He explained everything to me completely. The next day when I came in to have my teeth pulled he gave me a valium to calm me down an hour before my appointment and then oxygen with a little laughing gas. I HATE needles but by that point I didn't care at all when they inserted the IV needle. I also thought it was cool that they knocked me out before putting heart moniter on me as that would have just caused me more anxiety. I traveled 4 hours to have Dr. Sejud extract my teeth. It was the best decision ever. I wouldn't have wanted anyone but him to do the surgery and I would highly recommend him to anyone who has to go through oral surgery. Especially those with very serious health issues (I'm on a transplant list). Today is the morning after surgery and I'm virtually painless (except for one site that was not a tooth extraction but a cavitation which causes a lot more trauma than just pulling a teeth. Still, the cavitation is only a 2-3 on a pain scale of 10. For me, this is a miracle. I can't thank Dr. Sejud enough for his kindness and expertise.

I'm so happy that my dentist uses this lab for crowns and bridges. I left my former dentist who…read moreordered crowns from out of town, because their color never matched my teeth. When I complained, I was told that nothing could be done. So, imagine my delight when my current, wonderful dentist, Dr. Schettler walked me literally next door to this lab to get custom coloring! Mark Bonner, the technician, is a true artist who makes EXACT matches to neighboring teeth, with just the right translucency. Thanks to his artistry, I have better looking teeth now than ever. Thank you, Mark!

I saw Dr. Gilbaugh when I was living in Santa Rosa. He is absolutely one of the best dentists I…read morehave met. His office is a gem in SR. He is very careful and thorough. Office is very organized and friendly. I also loved my hygienist Wyvonne. I brought my mom to see them as well for teeth cleaning and root canal work and was referred to a specialist at that time. I highly recommend this dental office!

The best dentist office and dentist ever!!! I say this…read morebecause this place made it ok to go to the dentist again for me. These people care and treat you like a person not a project. They are kind and gentle. Always checking that I'm doing ok and not in pain or discomfort. They ALWAYS follow up when they say they will. They have gone above and beyond if I had an after hours problem. But most importantly I can smile again without covering my mouth with my hand. I went in with a pullem' out and be done attitude. I was tired of the pain and problems with my teeth. They proposed to save and fix the teeth I have and explained what the benefits of keeping "my" teeth. They were kind. They were caring. They were great after. They will always be our family dentist. Do yourself a favor....Go here.

Very rough, but very professional…read more I think a DVD or some music would have helped!!! However, his demeanour was very "Matter of fact" and made it comfortable because I could tell he knew what he was doing. What he lacks in sensitivity, he makes up in time...in and out real quick for fillings. Also, the staff dealt with my insurance, so I didn't have to. Nice!

It has been over a month since my emergency visit to Dr. Toms office. It took me this long to…read morerecover from the incident and it was more than traumatic. Never having a tooth problem and not knowing what was happening; when the pain started I was confused and it was like nothing I've ever experienced. Bone crushing pain in my jaw that I understand is like or worse than childbirth, I give homage to all of the people who have gone thru this type of pain, no one really knows that this is the worse pain possible. Confused, I had two emergency room visits and was trying to figure out how to get to a dentist? It turns out my dentist scheduled me for an appt for a week out. When I arrived to him, he insulted me and kicked me out of the office for being in pain and limiting his access to my mouth (please read my review of him). And he referred me to an oral surgeon whom I immediately called; they saw me right then. For some reason they scheduled a surgery for another date, I think that doctor was actually trying to save the tooth in mention, seeing I could not open my mouth no one actually saw the tooth, so in this pain I waited yet again. By the time for the actual surgery I had been in this pain that had caused shock for about 10 days; violently shaking, no food, only pain pills and Ice...anything to help with the pain. I went to her office in Healdsburg. When I got there she realized that she would not be able to make me numb enough to do the job, so she called Dr. Toms office and they even drove me over which was close. I did have to wait for a while because the doctor was in the middle of working on a client, totally understandable and he and his staff stayed there after hours for me. At this time I do have to say that the Doctor that works with Dr. Tom saw me first and asked me if I had had anything to eat, in order to put me under general sedation, and I said that I had had some water in the morning and it was after 2ish. He said he didn't want to do it because he thought I would die, and then when I was crying in pain, he actually asked me if I wanted to die then! Turns out he had an appointment. Dr. Tom couldn't have been nicer, he is a big bear of a man and his personality is as large, in my opinion I felt safety because he was totally in control, and his staff has the humanity that I have not seen on this planet since the 70s. These folks saved my life! Their sense of urgency and compassion is stellar and the service didn't stop there. He insisted on seeing me numerous times after, in the healing process to make sure I was "out of the woods." The last time I went there for my final check up, I was overcome by gratefulness for the sincere humanity of this remarkable group of people. I will always be indebted to you because this was to date the worst event of my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Dr. Tom extracted two of my teeth and did a bone graft in April, and the final result was very…read moregood. However, the office didn't give me much information at all about what the recovery would look like. When a problem arose post-surgery, Dr. Tom saw me right away. During the appointment, though, he was unkind and unprofessional. We spent only a few minutes together, and he seemed angry throughout. I pointed out that he was yelling at me, but he didn't change his manner. I asked a few questions and he barked his response at me each time. The door was open and my husband was able to hear much of the exchange and his impression was that Dr. Tom seemed impatient and unsympathetic. Dr. Tom went as far as to say that he only cared about whether my husband made his doctor's appointment in Santa Rosa, (which we'd scheduled around) and didn't care about me. I can't imagine Dr. Tom would treat a male patient this way. Please choose another provider if you want to be treated with respect.

I have never been to a better dentist. NEVER…read more I first went to Dr. Alford after getting an outstanding referral for him from a friend. My friend was right! Dr. Alford did an amazing check-up. Not only used more advanced (comfortable) x-rays, but he used a special oral camera that found tiny cracks (from silver fillings), tapped my teeth, measured my gum loss and even used a special laser that checked for hidden decay. He was more thorough and more professional than any other dentist I've ever seen. I've never had such modern equipment used, nor experienced such a high level of expertise. So would I recommend him to my friends? Heck yeah!!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. ALFORD! (But only to my friends)

This office USED to be awesome! It was a patient for 10 years at this office! Dr. Alford has had…read moreto step back from his practice due to health reasons and has another Dentist working in his stead most days. I have had multiple appointment mistakes made in recent years. The front desk office staff has definitely a taken downgrade. Just plain rude. The kicker was when I went in to complete some dental work and a stranger wheeled himself up from behind me and introduced himself as my new dentist! YIKES! No thanks! I've found another office!
