I can't say enough about Dr. Tom. It's ALWAYS a pleasure to see him. He really takes the time to get to know his patients & I really appreciate that...especially since seeing any dentist is not on my list of priorities nor is it a walk in the park. For 10 years he's been my trusted dentist and to say I trust him & his opinions concerning my individual needs is an understatement.
In 2006 when I first met him, we've been on this journey to fix my mouth due to damage caused by braces in the early 90s I didn't think was possible. Every filling I had (from childhood) was cracked & in desperate need of repair. We tried our hardest to avoid a root canal but was unable to save a tooth literally killed by braces. And here I am again, about to undergo additional repairs to my teeth - damage caused by BRACES. We spent a significant amount of time discussing what's happening & my various options. Did he present the best, most expensive option to me? Absolutely. He also presented me with the least expensive option & said for now, it's my best option. BUT...I eventually will need to move forward with the other, realizing due to inflation & that my issue will only get worse over time, the cost will increase. Not happy about it, and we're only delaying the inevitable, but $7500 is a lot to come up (after insurance) to properly fix my issue. He truly has his patients' best interests at heart & he's proven this time & again with me, my husband, & the 4 referrals I've sent his way. He's a great dentist & great person. He has my business for life.
