Dr Comfort and his staff were a breath of fresh air after long needing a good dental opinion. Not only did they take time to really explain my situation but they were funny and kind and empathetic. He could have said that all my teeth needed work for what I was describing but he didn't. My outcome was the cheapest outcome possible with excellent attention to detail and I'm so stoked to have such a great dentist and awesome staff in our area.
Sincerely,
A grateful patient

Dr. Comfort is a turn and burn dentist. There are about 5 treatment chairs in the office and he runs constantly between them. He spent less than 30 minutes on me to treat 3 cavities. 2 of the treated teeth (molars) died, 1 after just 1 week and the other after about 3 weeks. Both teeth required emergency root canals , after suffering the worst pain I have ever felt. The third tooth (upper incisor) has a very rough filling which I can still feel. The staff is excellent, but I won't ever go back.

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 I did not need a root canal and that my tooth was fine. 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 an

Bishop CA – Jan 04, 2017
Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Comfort?
I went in to have 3 cavities filled. I asked the staff if they could just do the multi surface $204 and 1 of the single surface $165 to save up $ for the tiny 3rd. Instead he did the two tiny single surface cavities. I expressed my disappointment at the time in him not doing the multi-surface cavity, as that was the whole reason for my appointment. I asked him to just do the 3rd at the time. He refused due to time constraints and he felt I couldn't make that decision on Halicon. No follow up
