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.

On 4/13/15 I was seen by Dr. Matts on on an emergency basis. Generally in my experience, most…read moredentists won't do that. He was kind and put up with my crying. I was in concideral amount of pain at the time. That was my own fault. Still the man has the patience of a saint. He recommended that I get a root canal and sent me to Dr Loxly in Santa Rosa who also took me as an emergency. Turns out that the roots were cracked and the tooth had to come out. I went back to Dr Mattson for this. I am a huge baby when it comes to my mouth. I have to say Dr Mattson has a wonderful bedside manner and a soothing voice. Dr Mattson and his entire staff are extremely sweet and caring people. If you ever need any dental work done, go see Dr Mattson and his staff. You won't regret it.

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.

After two decades of hunting, I confirm there is a first-class dentist, with a thoughtful, charming…read morebedside manner, in the Ft. Bragg/Mendocino CA area: Dr. Brandon LeBeck. For 20 years locally I have sought a dentist as good as the best in larger towns I have lived near; I still use an excellent specialty dentist in Santa Rosa, Dr. Matthew Anderson, two hours away. But when I had a new full crown over an implant, Dr. LeBeck matched the best of the dentists I have known in a long life. He was meticulous in fitting the new tooth over the hardware and didn't finish until it was perfect (which it is and has been for months, even "approved" by Dr. Anderson). He also did a careful inspection of a sensitive area and an excellent (and again meticulous) repair to my chipped front tooth. Finally, he did a scan procedure to update my out-of-date night guard and the fit was perfect the first time. He even had his nurse, which has not happened by any dentist I know, call a few days later to check how things were going. All in all, terrific dental coverage for a variety of ailments - and head and shoulders above the three other, rather average local dentists I have used over time. Finally, his front desk manager, Lisa, matches in excellence and precision the quality of her boss. Bravo to the team! And to Dr. LeBeck, thrilled to have you ten minutes away. P.S. He's also younger than the oldsters I no longer see so he will likely be around for a good long while.
