Dr. Ufomata is described in the feedback as a very skilled dentist, and clinical confidence is the most consistent positive note about his practice. Praise also reaches the support team, with the hygienist and office staff characterized as friendly and helpful, although that comment concerns the staff rather than the doctor directly. The criticism is considerably more serious and centers on how treatment was recommended and carried out. One allegation holds that a patient who declined a recommended root canal was left with a poorly placed filling, which was followed by a root canal, lingering fever, and a gum abscess, and that antibiotics and a retreatment or new X-ray were not offered. Other complaints describe a rough manner during exams, including pulling the head to the side, and a sense that some work was unnecessary, with a tooth that was thought to need a root canal instead receiving a crown and then continuing to hurt. Concerns about billing are also raised, including a rude front-desk exchange and a long wait without acknowledgment, along with a claim that a substitute dentist was covering without advance notice. These remain the perspectives of the individuals who shared them, and read as impressions rather than verified facts, but they are substantive enough that a prospective patient would want to weigh them carefully.
