    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.

    Do not go here. I…read morewent to Affordable Dentures for a consultation on full top and bottom dentures. I was very clear from the start about what I wanted done, and I spoke with this office multiple times beforehand. I was reassured repeatedly that they could take care of me. On the day of my appointment, after taking a full day off work, they told me they had lost my insurance information and had to call for approval while I was already driving to the office. That alone felt unprofessional, but I tried to stay understanding. The front office staff was actually very kind and welcoming, which initially put me at ease. The dental assistant was also friendly, listened to me, took my X-rays, and seemed to fully understand what I was requesting. Unfortunately, everything went downhill when the doctor came in. He was extremely rude, dismissive, and spoke over me the entire time. Despite me clearly explaining that I wanted full top and bottom dentures -- and that I had discussed this plan with other dentists -- he flat-out refused. He insisted on doing top dentures only and pushing root canals and caps on all of my bottom teeth instead, which I clearly stated I did not want. I also explained that my long-term plan was to move to implants within the next two years, which was actually recommended previously by Affordable Dentures in the Roseville Office (they do not accept insurance) . He still refused to listen and repeatedly talked over me. His reasoning was that bottom dentures can be uncomfortable and move -- something I already understood and had accepted. He then said that unless I agreed to his treatment plan, he "wasn't going to waste his time on me." That comment alone was completely inappropriate, unprofessional, and disrespectful. Patients deserve to be heard and treated with respect -- especially when they are informed, clear about their goals, and willing to discuss options. This doctor was none of that. Save yourself the time, frustration, and disrespect. Do not go here.

    I had to save up in order to get my new bottom plate but the service I got from the office staff,…read moreespecially Carrie Ann was exceptional!

    Following 2 failed root canals over a period of years, ultimately required extraction of a first…read moremolar. [Previous root canals performed in other out of town dentists' offices.] Dr. Detomasi was pleasant, professional, and above all, clinically skilled. The extraction procedure was relatively painless in spite of long term, chronic infection and a stubbornly embedded, elongated root on the tooth. Post procedure, there was little to no pain, or swelling. However, may I stress the importance of following post-extraction care protocol to the letter. To not do so, is to invite post-op complications of swelling, infection, dry socket syndrome, and the need for further intervention. A one star downgrade is based on the behavior and demeanor of front office staff who were noted to be unprofessional. Young women sitting on, or reclining over [not at] their desks, chatting and laughing loudly when one enters the waiting room do not present a desirable first impression. In addition, several minutes elapsed before my presence was acknowledged. The messy waiting room itself might have caught their attention; it did mine. Magazines were in disarray on tables and on the floor, as were tissues, other debris. I would encourage more attention to staff professionalism and housekeeping. Other than that, my impression of Dr. Detomasi is positive and I heartily recommend his services.

    I hate leaving bad reviews but I think it's necessary to inform anyone who cares to look up this…read moredoctor they should know how my first and only appt went. Dr. Dhillon was aggressive when working on my teeth. He was so careless as to let the water rinser fall into my nose twice getting water up my nose while lying down. I kept choking on my saliva while he was working and when I would try to swallow the saliva or if I actually choked he would tell me to "stop". He was so aggressive working on my teeth that when I cried out in pain and told him to be more gentle he ignored me and continued to talk to his assistant about her weekend plans. He was fixing a chipped tooth I had and I kept telling him he left too much resin on my tooth (the part that doesn't have the chip) and he said it was normal. I went home and picked the resin off until my tooth was smooth again. After my cleaning I told him I still had tartar build up on the inside of my permanent brace I have on the bottom backside of my teeth and he SANDED the tooth next to my brace! Not only do I still have the tartar on the brace but he shaved my other tooth to where it now has sensitivity and some sort of sharp edge that shreds my floss whenever I try to use it. Do not go here. Do not work here. He shouldn't be practicing.

    The office staff is great. When it came to care the first couple of visits were great. Then came…read morethe one where he knew he was doing quite a bit of fillings on me, he was over booked, I wasn't fully numb, he filled a couple teeth together. He kept stopping to go see other people, if I didn't already have holes in my teeth for the fillings, I would have left. He had my mouth open for 2 hours. I kept telling him from prior fillings he did that that side was higher, and I had pain. He messed up my bite and kept saying everything was fine and if I was still in pain in a month he would send me to a specialist. I have a new dentist who couldn't believe how much he messed up my mouth bite. It was so bad that the teeth on the left weren't even touching. He would leave teeth poking after drilling . I would not recommend him, and won't ever go back. He will make your mouth worse off than it is.
