If you are searching for a great Periodontist, look no further. Dr. Thomas is wonderful. He is very thorough with his periodontal treatment and has an outstanding bedside manner. He happily answered all of my questions and made me feel very comfortable. He also keeps a very kind and courteous staff. To top it all off, the pricing for services is very reasonable. I would recommend this establishment to anyone.

Great Doctor. Great Staff. Great Office. Had a toothache in a snow storm. :( His office had me come directly in which I appreciated. He got me out of pain immediately. Have had a few follow up visits that have all gone swimmingly.

Dr. Thomas has exceeded my expectations with his empathy. In a time of desperation with an infected tooth/gum that was as painful as a broken bone. He had never met me before and was very busy but once I explained what I was going through, he made time for me and cared for me as if I was a family member or best friend. I am a business owner myself and to meet another business owner that puts in the same amount of effort and care, gives me a great feeling. I have had ongoing issues for many months now and he is very quick to personally call me back anytime I have an issue and call into his office. He truly wants me to be healed like I was one of his own children and it is hard to put into words what that means to me. Keep up the good work.

It's very rare to find a dentist that has a very skilled hand in dentistry with NO PAIN and provides the education to make you feel comfortable with any procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Thomas

Dr. Thomas and Robin did an exceptional job on my gum graft. Dr. Thomas was very informative during my consultation and even drew out pictures to help me understand what the procedure entailed. When I left the procedure I was given flowers and even received a call later that evening from Dr. Thomas to check on me. I had no pain and I have no doubt that this is the best option out there.

I put off gum graft surgery for years because l could not find a doctor l was comfortable with untill l was referred to Dr. Thomas. Once he started the procedure all my worries went away, no pain at all . I have already referred him to friends of mine that were looking for a,good dental surgeon.
