Dr. Timothy Stanford Colton, MD

I have to have work done there a couple of times over the years and they were so caring, gentle and pleasant!

Three teenagers with multiple impacted wisdom teeth--all very successful with minimal post-op swelling. Varying levels of pain seemed dependent on length of roots and individual tolerance--all treatable with pain killers and ice packs. One teenager vomited a little post-op, and staff was very supportive and caring. One teenager was very anxious about needle for IV and procedure overall, never even having had a cavity. Staff was very reassuring and caring. Patient was put at ease with great results. One teenager also had a baby tooth pulled and an additional surgical procedure performed at the same time as wisdom teeth extraction for one teenager. All without issues. Fourth family member had excess growth of oral tissue surgically removed with great results and without incident. I know several other mothers who have been more than satisfied with their experiences with Dr. Colton taking out her kids' wisdom teeth. Very busy practice with very professional staff. Wait… for scheduled appointments might be a few weeks. No idea about emergency visit availability.

I have had a few procedures performed by Dr. Colton and every time I leave the office I say "I'm never going back there!". Unfortunately, all of my procedures have needed to be done urgently so there hasn't been time to search for better surgeons. He is rude, cocky, and pads his bill. Watch out! Others have said that he calls them at night but I have never received a call. I've had pain during the procedure and my "ouch" comments were ignored. Rather than stop for a second and give me more painkiller, he said "we're almost done" and just continued through my pain. I'm being proactive and searching NOW for a better surgeon and I'm sure I won't have trouble finding one!!
