If I could give this dentist 0 (zero) stars... I would. He did over $10,000 of work in my mouth and I am very unhappy. All I can say is keep good records and don't be fooled by a friendly atmosphere. Be sure you are covered by your insurance and if you have questions about the work done, ask them!! You have rights call the A.D.A. if necessary. UPDATE: I'm still in a tremendous pain and will have to have most of Dr. Comfort's work redone. We are talking thousands of dollars here. Just consider that... 2022 update: I have to have all his work redone! He never fixed the issue. Only made it worse....

The environment in this place is very unprofessional, the team did not seem knowledgable about dentistry in general, and I think they over price you on any service since they are the only dentist in mammoth. Staff tries to be overly friendly, but comes off creepy.... I took my wisdom tooth pain for weeks instead of getting them removed here. Most people in Mammoth make the drive to Reno or LA for a reason.

Beware of this facility. While he's a very nice man I don't know where his dental education came from I could have been just fine with an implant of one tooth, but he decided a whole bridge would be better.. all while bickering with his dental assistant... it was so tense o should have known. Now I have 3 fake teeth that have never felt right or un-painful since being placed. They refuse to reimburse for the work so I can get it done correctly, so I will be filing with the Dental Board.

I had to get a new implant done and I wasn't sure where to go in Mammoth Lakes to see a dentist. I was a little worried about finding a dentist in such a small town. I am so glad I ended up going to Dr. Comfort's office! All of the staff are so friendly and I really enjoyed coming in and getting to chat with all of them. Dr. Comfort is extremely knowledgeable! He and his team always made it a great and fast experience whenever I came in. I couldn't be happier with how my implant looks :). I highly recommend going here!!

I have been seeing Dr Comfort for dental care for several years for my dental care and him and his team are great! The staff is extremely kind and helpful, the equipment is state of the art and Chris is knowledgeable, efficient and caring. Dental work is never fun but at least at Dr Comfort's practice they will work to make it as comfortable as possible and make you laugh while doing it. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a dentist.

I experienced extreme tooth pain the night before starting the join Muir trail in Yosemite valley. Dr comfort and his team, including his wife, saw me the next day back in mammoth, which not only was a Sunday but also literally July 4th. They were friendly and explained everything and got me patched up. The following day after the procedure my fiancee and I left mammoth to go back to tuolomne and start our trip. An absolute lifesaver, couldn't have asked for better in an emergency situation far from home (we are from NYC).

One of the best dentists and humans I know. This earth is lucky to have people like Chris. He performed a cosmetic enhancement over 35 years ago in 1987 and my veneers still look great. One of the most conscientious, ethical, superb, ACCREDITED (board certified) dentists and a truly remarkable and caring person.

A friendly, no nonsense Dentist. I'm hiking the PCT and had a problem with my wisdom tooth. They fit me in and extracted the tooth that day!

I had the worst dentist experience of my life here. The front desk personnel were rude from the moment I walked in. The dentist told me I needed a root canal and quoted me around $2000. I went and got a second opinion and was told that a root canal wouldn't have fixed the problem with my tooth. They refused to send my records to my new dentist, even when I requested them multiple times, including by email with a signed form attached. I specifically asked them to email my records to my new dentist and instead they said they mailed them, without asking me for the address, and my dentist never received them. That meant that I had to pay out of pocket to redo the x-rays that I had already had done. THEN, as if that wasn't enough, they continue to send me bills when the cleaning and x-rays I had done there were entirely covered by my insurance. It's been months since I made the mistake of visiting this dentist and I am STILL trying to get them to do their job properly and submit the claim so that the insurance will pay it. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Update: Dr. Comfort has sent me a letter demanding that I remove this review. The initial dentist I requested records be sent to never received them and now when I request my records be sent to another dentist, they are refusing and stating that I've written them a negative review. Instead of trying to make things right, they continue to make everything as difficult as possible to try to force me to remove this review. Stay away!
