I just got my wisdom teeth pulled out last week from Dr. Tom. I was very anxious and he thoughtfully and patiently explained all of the risks/precautions of the surgery. I was very dubious especially of going through local anesthesia, however it was completely painless. Dr. Tom was so thoughtful and patient with me throughout the whole process and my mouth didn't even hurt throughout recovery. Could not recommend Dr. Tom or my experience more! read more

Excellent oral surgeon with accommodating staff. My son, J, saw Dr. Tom when he was 5 for an extra tooth removal. We went back this past summer for wisdom teeth removal. X-rays showed lower wisdom teeth were positioned close to nerve and could possibly cause damage on one side-don't remember which. Dr. Tom and staff were knowledgeable, comforting and laid out the facts in an efficient and effective manner. We were given options and timelines. It made our decision making process easy. Knowing my kid, I didn't want him to be tentative going in twice for the same procedure-so, we took out all 4 wisdom teeth once. No problems, barely any down time. Kid was able to attend his 1st day of school within 3 days. The office is professional, experienced and caring. Dr. Tom called us to follow up over the weekend to ensure all is well. It's nearly impossible to please a teenager. Yet, here we are...he asked me, "Why haven't I given Dr. Tom a review since summer?" read more

I had to have oral surgery a couple of months ago and Dr. Tom is by far one of the most professional, friendly, through doctor. I appreciated the time he took to explain the procedure, recovery and risks a couple of times prior to his work. His staff is very helpful, just as friendly and make it easy to get an appointment quickly which was really appreciated. I'd recommend him to anyone! read more

I just had my wisdom teeth removed today and I would like to say that Dr Tom is very professional and reliable. I had a terrible toothache caused by my wisdom teeth and was trying my luck calling dental clinics at 8.30 at night. He answered the phone and scheduled an appointment for me the very next day. He did a very thorough examination and told me the options I had. He analyzed all the risks and possible complications such an oral surgery might have. Because my lower wisdom teeth were both located right next to the nerve, he told me that I have a high risk of nerve damage. That made me very nervous. I had been worried about that for a long time and had been putting off getting my wisdom teeth removed, but the pain became too much. Dr Tom and his assistant were very careful and it did not hurt at all. Of course, I am still in the process of recovering, but I am so impressed by the efficiency and care by Dr Tom and staff that I had to drop a note to reassure anyone else who may need their wisdom teeth removed that Dr Tom is an excellent doctor to go to. read more

Dr.Tom is a fantastic oral surgeon.I was so terrified of extracting my tooth but he made the whole experience seamless. I decided to go with local anesthesia and I couldnt feel a thing.The whole process was quick and painless.And the best thing was Dr.Tom calling in the evening to check on me to see how I am doing.If you need an oral surgeon I would recommend Dr.Tom 100%. read more

I'm writing to recommend Dr. Tom and thank him for his incredible work on my teeth. Due to an underlying health condition, it was recommended to me that I have my wisdom teeth extracted as soon as possible to enable treatment. On extremely short notice, Dr. Tom rearranged his schedule to enable a consultation on my teeth. Then - incredibly - the next business day, he rearranged his schedule to perform the extraction. During the consultation, Dr. Tom advised that one of the teeth had grown under a nerve, which made this a particularly challenging procedure and he cautioned that there was a good chance that I may suffer nerve damage during the procedure. I'm so happy to report that after the procedure I haven't experienced any of the symptoms he described that could be attributed to nerve damage. I can't recommend Dr. Tom more enthusiastically - not only for his compassionate approach but also for his skill as a surgeon. read more

While Dr. Tom is skilled as a surgeon, I cannot recommend him because he caused my child undue pain. Dr. Tom took out my son's wisdom teeth while my son was under conscious sedation and using local anesthesia. However, Dr. Tom did not give my son enough of either medication, and my son was aware of the entire procedure and in pain during it. Worse, the local anesthetic wore off 10 minutes after we left Dr. Tom's office, leaving my son in terrible pain. And worst of all, Dr. Tom did not give us a prescription for pain meds, and when we called to report the severe pain, he wouldn't give us a prescription; his staff said, "Do you have any meds at home left over from other surgeries?" I have since talked to multiple doctors and realized that none of this is normal post-op patient care, and raises several red flags. There are many options for pain management, from longer-lasting local anesthetic to prescription pain meds, and Dr. Tom made none of them available. read more

Dr. Tom is a real pro at what he does. I had to have 5 teeth out at once, 3 wisdom teeth and 2 extra teeth that would help make room for other teeth. I didn't get the full anesthesia (too expensive, can't blame him for that) so I heard all the drilling, yanking, etc., which was uncomfortable but not terribly painful. Either way, right after the surgery, I was still pretty uncomfortable, what with 5 gauze packs stuffed in my mouth and not being able to tell whether I was drooling or not. So I definitely I thought I was gonna be hitting the vicodin like none other once the novacaine wore off. But after taking ibuprofen the first night, and having a good night's sleep, I was surprisingly good to go the next morning, and the pain was mostly gone by day 3! I'm glad I chose Dr. Tom, but even more glad I never have to do that again too. read more

What an incredible surgeon. So warm, kind, caring, and thoughtful. He's very thorough and is conservative when it comes to surgery. That means he won't push you toward any procedures that are not necessary. I had supernumerary teeth removed (my gums were ripped open to remove extra teeth. Fun times!!!) and shockingly I had NO pain or swelling afterwards so I didn't have to take any painkillers. Amazing! He's one of those doctors that wants to do the right thing and help people versus having you get a bunch of work done for profit (yes I've experienced this with others, especially dentists). I trust him wholeheartedly and wouldn't hesitate recommending him to everyone. Thank you Doctor Tom! read more

First dental office I've been to that offers their patients candy. I thought it was damaging to a patient teeth because a dentist should promote healthy habits and not ways for you to indulge in one of your vices that does harmful things to your teeth; revenue gain for them. In reality, who really likes going to the dentist? The girl at the front desk is very nice, however she can do a better job completing task. On my first visit, DDS Tom suggested I get a 3D X-ray because my tooth was very close to my nerve and he wanted to avoid any long term nerve damage to my jaw, so I took his advice. During this time the concierge was aware of what my insurance would cover and what was going to be out of pocket, so I paid my dues. A week later, my 3D results were in so it's time for tooth extraction. Before DDS Tom came back into the room this lady present a bill of $483 that I have to pay today because she was unable to get in contact with my insurance. NOW! How is it that someone knows you have an appointment nine days in advance yet on the day of your operation they claim they were unable to get in contact with your insurance? I quickly walked out and I never got a phone call back regarding this issue. This place in my opinion is a SCAM. Your first visit they have you pay out of pocket for an X-ray that may not be necessary and the following week they are unable to contact your insurance so their going to make you pay the full cost out of pocket and call your insurance days after the operation. I would not recommend this DDS to anyone. read more

I had been putting of getting my wisdom teeth out for almost a decade. I finally worked up my courage and my regular dentist sent me to see Dr. Tom. While getting teeth ripped out of your mouth is never fun, I can't say enough good things about this practice. He made me watch a scary video for liability reasons (which is animated - so no blood and guts) and then after an in house X-Ray went over my options with me. He was not pushing surgery and I really felt that he helped me make the right decisions. The procedure was quick, helped by some laughing gas. He went over how to minimize swelling in great detail and gave me a useful handout (since I was not quite myself from the laughing gas). He even called at 9 pm the same day to see how I was doing. What a guy! read more

Dr. Tom is the best! I'm writing this review almost a week post surgery and I am pleasantly surprised with how my recovery has been thus far. My wisdom teeth were giving me a really hard time for the past year; my bottom teeth were being impacted and the pain was excruciating. I finally decided to get them extracted and was referred to Dr. Tom. Dr. Tom took out all four of my wisdom teeth in about an hour. I was very nervous, considering I wasn't under any anesthesia. The surgery was successful and the recovery has been amazing, to say the least. Dr. Tom is extraordinary. He is highly skilled and makes you feel very comfortable. He even called me a couple of hours after the surgery to check in and see how I was feeling. After the surgery, I was a little swollen and had pain, which is totally normal but the next day, I felt great. Here I am, day 6, and I couldn't be any happier with my recovery. Thank you, Dr. Tom! You are awesome. read more

When my wisdom tooth broke in a fateful encounter with a Twizzler (oh, the shame of it), my dentist referred me to Dr. Tom for an extraction. The staff is very helpful, very professional, and they even offered to call my partner when my procedure was over so that she'd know to come and get me. Even though there was a lot going on in the office that day and things were running late, Dr. Tom took time to make sure I understood what needed to be done and answer any questions before we got started. He went out of his way to be reassuring and gentle when he realized how scared I was, too. Highly recommended ... he even called me the evening after my surgery to be sure I was doing OK! read more

Dr. Tom was really helpful. I got my teeth pulled out today and it was done quickly. All 4 of my wisdom teeth were out in an hour and 15 minutes. I also had to watch a scary video but it does help you understand exactly what will be going on. He explained what my options were and what the best way to go was because of the situation. I had laughing gas and then he numbed my mouth and the teeth were out in no time. There were good instructions on how to take care of myself after surgery and he also called me at 9pm to see how I was! Very good staff and doctor. read more

A wonderful surgeon with an excellent bedside manner. My elderly father complained of pain in his tooth and his regular dentist recommended that he get this extracted. We called Dr. Tom and set up an appointment for next week. My father's pain got worse, so my mom called Dr. Tom's office the very next day and they were kind enough to accommodate him later in the morning. Right after arriving, Dr. Tom's staff helped tremendously in breaking down the costs, what the actual procedure would entail, as well as after-care activities. Before the actual surgery, Dr. Tom explained all aspects of the extraction with great thoroughness, which underscored his obvious knowledge in what he does. Supremely happy with the entire process. He even called that evening to check how my dad was feeling! That is a level of care that you don't see very often these days. Thank you, Dr. Tom! read more

Just had my implant surgery. I prepared well, thanks to Dr. William Tom and the members of his practice: pre-blended some homemade tofu soup, got a fruit smoothee in the fridge, icepack on hand. Dr. Tom is conscientious, kind and extremely thorough. His staff are great & calm. Getting through a not-so-pleasant experience is much easier, when you are in good hands. Thanks gang! read more

A really good oral surgeon and a kind doctor. He really follows up with you before and after the surgery.

Had a tooth that cracked and broke, although it wasn't painful, my regular dentist couldn't do it but recommended Dr. Tom. As all the others have said, I had the extraction and I was waiting for the pain; and had none. Took the antibiotics, and it healed beautifully. Did not regret going to him at all, and would highly recommend him to anyone! read more

I had a wisdom tooth with a large cavity that started to hurt. I knew it had to come out but I wasn't looking forward to the procedure. After my regular dentist decided the job required a surgeon, he referred me to Dr. Tom. Tom is not only a dentist, but a regular MD too, which I found reassuring. Dr. Tom and his staff go out of their way to make sure you understand the procedure, the risks and what to expect during recovery. Also appreciated. The thing that really scares me about the dentist is the novocain shot--I had a bad experience one time in which a rookie dentist shot me right in the nerve. It was the most intense pain I've ever felt--everything turned red and I almost screamed. I think Dr. Tom knew I was nervous and went out of his way to make me feel calm. Anyway, I barely felt the shots--just a little pinch on the first shot, and the rest I barely felt at all. My wisdom tooth, as it turned out, was very firmly rooted in my jaw and was very difficult to extract. The doctor needed about 30-40 minutes to get it out, and the operation involved sawing the tooth into several pieces and taking it out chunk by chunk. But I really believe that Dr. Tom did the job as quickly and as discomfort-free as it could possibly have been done. He was working really hard to get it out, but never forgot about me and my comfort, both emotionally and physically. He called me at 9pm that night to check on me, which I was not expecting. Anyway, I usually don't write reviews, but this guy is such a pro I thought a truthful review here might be a way to express my thanks. I hope he reads it, and that maybe other people benefit by reading this and taking their dental work to Dr. Tom. I will definitely be going back, hopefully under slightly less difficult circumstances. read more

Dr. Tom is a great oral surgeon. He is professional, courteous, patient and answers any questions or concerns you may have. We took our son twice to have a tooth extracted from beneath the gums and both times were good experiences. Our son pretty much recovered same day without any pain. Dr. Tom also follows up with a phone call the same evening to check up on the patient after each procedure. We highly recommend him! read more

The previous reviewers pretty much said it all. Dr. Tom is friendly, professional and takes the time to answer questions or address concerns. The staff is also friendly and efficient. The 9pm followup call was a welcomed surprise. read more

I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Tom. One of those was impacted. Dr. Tom was so skillful that I did not feel much pain at all. He was also very thoughtful to call me personally at the night after surgery to check out if everything was ok. I would definitely recommend him to everyone. read more

Dr.Tom was great. I was definitely nervous about getting 3 of my wisdom teeth out but he made sure that I knew whatever options were presented that it was entirely my decision. I also opted for local anesthesia but they offered some headphones to help with the drilling noises. After about an hour I was ready to leave. I am in less pain with all 3 wisdom teeth out than when I had just one wisdom tooth out by another doctor. He even called later that night to see how I was doing. I would definitely recommend him to those freaked out by dentists, Dr. Tom and his team were very understanding and skilled at their craft. read more

Dr Tom was thoughtful, patient, really wanted to understand all the factors that led to me coming to him. He performed a minor surgery that was excellent and I'm not feeling any pain the day after. He even called me unsolicited last night to see how I was doing and if I had any questions or issues. Amazing!!! read more

Two thumbs up for Dr Tom and his wonderful staff!!! I was recommended by my dentist to have my broken tooth extracted...my dentist couldn't do it. Dr Tom was skillful...before I knew it the job was done! Wow! No pain! I followed his instruction to rinse my mouth with salt and water, healing was fast...He just finished the implant for me, although it took 9 months but worth the wait. Thanks Dr Tom and his team! read more

Dr Tom and Staff are GREAT! Just finished an oral surgery...which I was very nervous going into. My experience was very comfortable and I actually left laughing. Very professional and warm. read more

Dr. Tom is an amazing dentist! I had 4 wisdom teeth removed by him about a week ago. Before the surgery he was very thorough in discussing my options for removal. I initially only planned on going to see Dr. Tom for a second opinion (I sought a second opinion because one tooth was impacted and my original dentist wanted to do a complex procedure that wasn't covered by my insurance) However after my initial consolation with him I felt more comfortable in his hands than at my own dentist. He made me feel relaxed and was superb at answering my numerous questions. Not to mention he saved me about $800 because he said I didn't need the crazy surgery my other dentist was talking about. Dr. Tom is one of those guys you can tell really loves his job. He even called me the night of the surgery just to check up on me and see how everything was going. Basically, Dr. Tom is the man, he's an awesome dentist who loves what he does and makes his patients feel comfortable. Thanks Dr. Tom! read more
