    Fantastic dentist and staff. Patient, humane, nonjudgmental, kind, careful, knowledgeable and caring. Best dentist I have ever met!

    My elderly father, a 100% disabled Vietnam vet, was in excruciating dental pain. After being turned…read moreaway by another local clinic and facing a long, complicated VA referral process to an oral surgeon hours away, I was feeling desperate. On a whim, I called Fort Bragg Family Dental. After two missed calls, Dr. Nate Poenaru himself answered the third. I explained the situation and he said, "Can you come in now?" Within 45 minutes of arriving, my dad walked out--treated and on the road to recovery. What would've taken weeks, travel, and red tape, Dr. Poenaru handled with kindness, urgency, and skill. He didn't have to answer the phone. He didn't have to help us. But he did--and made a huge difference in our lives. We are beyond grateful. -- Charlotte & Tim Hawley

    I spent thousands of dollars at this dental practice but I am having an emergency and they are non…read moreresponsive. I have a tooth infection and waited for three hours before someone called me. They wanted to schedule me about 32 hours away with a dentist who is not Nate or Jeff and claimed they could not prescribe an antibiotic without an exam. I am on the phone now trying to get some help today--Monday, not a weekend, not a holiday, with a dentist I have never seen because the ones who took my money and have my x-rays and records are not willing to help me. A woman staff person named Erica is not kind or empathic but defensive and dismissive. I would go anywhere else for dental care before I would give these people more money. Their rates are among the highest.

    Dr. Baumgartner is the consummate professional as well as being a very good listener when it comes…read moreto his patients. I recently had a problem with a broken tooth which I asked him to try and cement back in its original position. Although it probably wasn't his first choice, he listened to my wishes and tried to oblige. After several attempts we both finally decided that the tooth needed to be pulled. I was apprehensive and slightly nervous about the procedure, but it turned out to be very easy. Doctor KB even called me at home over the weekend to check to see how I was doing. He is a first class dentist !!!!!

    Given all the glowing 5-star reviews, I must have seen Dr. Baumgartner on a bad day for him because…read moreit became a really bad day and exam for me. These are the facts: while laid flat on my back in the exam chair, him on one side, his assistant on the other, they had an argument with each other across me. Further, while probing my gum depth, he was heavy handed and hurt me badly. I asked specifically if he would use a gentler touch, he did not and continued to hurt me. I was shocked in that no other dentist hurt me unnecessarily before that. I wish I'd been a better advocate for myself and said "Stop, let me up" but I was so surprised by this behavior I failed to do so. The atmosphere in the office was dark and bleak as I paid and checked out which indicated to me unhappy employees. I phoned in later to state these facts and got a call back scolding me loudly and harshly. Again, I was shocked never having been treated so badly by a professional before this event. I hope you get him on a 5-star day. I won't go back.

    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.

    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.
