William Tom,DDS,MD

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!
