I hope to use him one more time before he ends up retiring. AHHH! I also found out he is a UW professor, GO DAWGS!

In 2017 I visited this dentist, to ensure I did nit need work done after a major upcoming surgery…read more Found out I needed a root canal & crown AFTER the surgery. Then, the crown had too much cement crammed under the gum line, another dentist had to fix it. Then, they mis- quoted me on insurance costs. Now, in 2025, I have a bone infection under the root canal, liquified bone, horrible pain & a ton of money to fix. I also have to wait 8-10 months to see if the bone will regenerate, or I have to have surgery. Why? Because this unqualified dentist missed a branch of the root, left it in, and it got infected. Stay away from this practice. Everyone in it is below par, from the dentist to the insurance staff!

Waiting all weekend only to find that your usual dentist is going to be out of town for a week on…read moreMonday is the beginning of any tooth pain nightmarish journey, especially when your usual dentist doesn't have anyone to recommend. And dentists terrify me. Enough about me, Dr. Fordham's office was filled with angels of mercy who found me a spot on the schedule within the hour. They were kind, understanding and listened to all my "wah wah wah" without judgment. I was certain that they were just covering for the terrible dentist who was threatening them (because really ... all dentists are scary, right?) BUT NO! Dr. Fordham was awesome. Did I mention that he was awesome? Furthermore, he didn't judge me either. For not going to the dentist more often. Which is going to change, because he's awesome. His treatment plan didn't include ripping out teeth or root canals or chaining me to rocks for monsters to eat me either. He gently, clearly and in real language explained to me that I needed to follow through with the peridontal plan... and if I did, I'd probably live. And if I do (and I probably will) I have a new dentist.

Dr. Scharf was my dentist in Port Townsend when I was in high school at Port Townsend High School…read more I was allowed to walk from my mother's workplace to Dr. Scharf's office once or twice a week. I called my mother's office to let them know that I arrived at Dr. Scharf's office after I arrived. There weren't that many dentists in Port Townsend that at that time did dentistry on teenagers. I told Dr. Scharf some of my jokes about doctors. He smiled. I think he thought I was already graduated. I told him about the sports teams at the high school. He agreed that not enough students are athletes in that school district. He agreed to give me quality advice to keep my teeth as I aged. I noted that Dr. Scharf's receptionist always wanted me to make an appointment at the time I was given a Pop quiz during my Chemistry class. I told Dr. Scharf it's very important for me to have enough time to study for all of the classes and pass all of the tests and quizzes... because I intended to go to a college out of state. He asked me if I wanted a job at his office later. I told him.... I might want to be his accountant. He said... you're taking Mathematics in college. I told him... I intended to become a high school Mathematics teacher after I get a certificate in teaching. I asked for his recommendations on which college one of my former guardians son should go to. Dr. Scharf didn't hesitate. He suggested Washington State University. I suggested that college to that guardian. He said... they would ask the son. There weren't any dentists on the Peninsula who had Saturday appointments way back then.

Writing about my SF dentist made me think fondly about Dr. Scharf, back in Port Townsend. He…read morealways made me laugh, and his staff always seemed to enjoy their work environment. He has all kinds of music you can listen to, in headphones, while you're there - - a really good and interesting selection. And he'll never patronize you the way my new (now former!) CA dentist did. He'll tease you, fondly - - ever so much nicer! He always worked with me, helping me to make decisions about what needed to be done, STAT, and what could wait.

Please Do Not Let your young children go in the chair by themselves!!!…read moreTook small child there for one filling. while he was getting worked on I was in the lobby with my other child I went in to see how it was going and and he had drilled out all my child's teeth and filled them all just for the insurance money. Even if child had that many cavities it wouldn't of been done all in one sitting. It caused my child to fear the dentist. Once damage is done it's done and it stays forever.

The tiniest restroom in the world has a meaningless handicapped sticker on the door but cannot accommodate a wheelchair. After brining these things to the attention of the owner, he is disinterested in rectifying any of these issues. i don't have any complaints about the dental work but the dentist has a poor 'chair side manner' and never comes around the dental chair to speak to you face to face. I've never seen his face. He only speaks from behind and I can honestly say if I saw him on the street, I wouldn't recognize him.

He started the work and then when I looked after and noticed it wasn't done the way I was told by the referring DR. and questioned him, he said I don't have the means to do that here. Then they said they didn't take my insurance and so I had to pay over 300$ for something that wasn't done right and then found out they tried to also get money from insurance.
