Timothy S Colton, DDS

Is he cocky? Yes. Does he deserve to be? Without a doubt, the guy is that amazing.
I had 4 wisdom teeth pulled by him and I can’t say often enough how great a job he does, I’ve referred people to him for just that reason.
If you need anything oral surgery or the like done, he’s the guy you should see first.

I just went to this guy last week for s consult, I will not be going back… he was rude, arrogant and has horrible bedside manner also I felt rushed and unheard… I left in tears!

It is so funny to see others have mentioned that Dr. Colton is «cocky»… is he? Probably but that is what I want for a surgeon! I am not looking for a hand holder and the warm and fuzzy. I want someone who is a skilled surgeon and has the experience to deal with something if it went wrong. He was fantastic as was his clinical staff and admin staff.

Quick update! Got all 4 wisdom teeth this morning and feel fantastic! I am sure the pain meds are helping haha. Dr Colton felt me feel at extreme ease this morning and so did his assistants. Take it from me the BIGGEST baby on earth, he is an amazing surgeon and person. I am recommending him to all of my family and friends

I saw him today and I must say the expierence was quite terriable.
For once I went there with no insurance, and charged me $ 425 for a simple tooth removel with forceps. I looked around and other surgeons charge roughly $ 200 for the procedure. While on top of that his secretary kept coming into the room before the procedure trying to collect the money, all while she told me to pay after when I simply offered to pay before the procedure.
They also left out dirty needles and used saline medications on tray rack connected to the chair I had to sit in for the procedure. As you can see in the photo I took while in there.
For the icing on the cake he refused to give me any form of pain medication, simply because I admitted I took a vicodin the previous day due to the enormous amount of pain I was in prior to the surgery.
After this experience, I actually opened a Unilocal account to inform people of the terriable service you receive and how he over charges.

So after reading some of the reviews I felt it was necessary to include my own experience.
I had Dr. Colton take out four wisdom teeth, probably about 10 years ago now. My personal preference for doctors/​surgeons in general is that I want them full of themselves and Cocky. I’m not looking for a doctor that is going to coddle me; I’m looking for a doctor that knows how good he is and doesn’t mind telling you about it.
I still remember his promises to me:
1. We aren’t going to talk about Dry Socket, because it isn’t going to happen.
2. Sometimes people have their jaws broken during wisdom teeth surgery, but that’s not going to happen here. If I break your jaw, I’ll buy you a new car.
Is he cocky? Yes, but I left that consultation with full confidence that I was going to be fine, and nothing was going to go wrong, because he knew what he was doing.

I had Dr. Colton for my daughter, and for myself because I was told he’s the best in the area. Technically, that may be true, but I remember as the reviews state, he is very much full of himself, and my daughter had problems with a hole from her sinus into her mouth, and he was unempathetic to her problem and her pain, although it resolved itself. I also experienced the alarming «pay up» treatment as I left the office. As others have said, the nice doctors are not always the best.

I can’t thank Dr. Tim colton and his staff enough
Dr. Colton came highly recommended from my dentist Dr. George Beniot. I took his advise and scheduled an appointment with Dr. Colton, the consultation was extremely informative and very thorough he allowed more than enough time to answer all my questions and concerns. I scheduled my appointment and had two wisdom teeth extracted as well as an apicoectomy (root canal related work) naturally I was apprehensive about the procedures but went through with it. The morning of the surgery absolutely everyone was very pleasant and very professional. After the surgery I could not believe how easy Dr. Colton and his staff made this, before I knew it the entire procedure had been completed, I didn’t need any pain medication for there was only minor sensitivity to hot and cold liquids for a few days. I highly recommend Dr. Tim Colton for all your oral needs. For all the whiners that blogged in a negative way, it may have been better if you woke up with pacifiers in your mouths instead of a cotton wad!

NEED TO KNOW
Ok when there is a good HONEST TELL IT LIKE IT IS ORAL SURGEON OUT THERE the last thing on my mind is his bed-​side manner. I have been in the Heath field for 18 years and the Lovey dovey docs are not the best. I had my four wisdom teeth pulled today and I heard stories from others and they made me nervouse the worst I have felt today is my face and lips and chin being numb. It’s really such a shame there are review on here about his personality
Yes he’s a bit hyper during your consult but it took my anxiety down a notch and I left smiling
So agian if you want AN HONEST EXCELLENT SURGEON YOU GO TO DR TIMOTHY COLTON if you want to babied and pampered go some where else your loss
I’m very happy my dentist sent me ti him!!!

He’s cocky as hell. VERY full of himself. A dentist friend confirmed his reputation: «Tim Colton’s favorite subject is Tim Colton.» That said, I’m not looking to have a beer with him. Yes, he absolutely runs on a «churn and burn» system with no time for coddling or cuddling. in the restaurant business they call this «turning tables.» My experience has been that when someone comes to feel that they have little to no competition, they can treat people any way they wish.
I felt that his consultation was good and the process was explained thoroughly. My gripe was in the post-​op rush out the door. Not 90 seconds after I came to, I was being asked for money. It’s a good thing that my mouth was full or else I would have said, «Are you ****ing kidding me?» I literally signed the receipt, «Seriously?» Given my drugged state, I was pretty proud of that!
Would I recommend him? Ummmm… Yes. But I would give someone a heads up as to what to expect (like reading these Unilocal opinions).

I’m shocked at the bad reviews. The consultation absolutely was very fast, and he ran through everything in about 15 seconds. But what kind of ‘concern’s’ could you have? He’s pulling out wisdom teeth, not doing brain surgery. I have no doubt he could do it in his sleep at this point.
He told me I’d be in an out in less than an hour — I showed up at 9:50 for a 10am appointment, and was in my car going home by 10:30. Awesome drugs, and the best part — from the start and now 4 days later and I’ve had no pain. Absolutely none. Zero.
Awesome job Dr. Colton — if you’re looking for a buddy to chat with and hold your hand and sing kumbaya — then go somewhere else — If you want oral surgery done the right way, quickly and effectively — then Dr. Colton’s your guy.
He may not be trying to win a personality contest with anyone, but he gets the job done. That’s all I care about…

Yeah, I agree with the other girl on here who had a bad experience.
A nurse yelled at me because I was sick after surgery. And then I threw up on her. That was actually purely accidental, but also awesome.
The initial consultation was super weird– I went with my mother and he said he refused to speak to anyone other than me because I should act like an adult, blah blah blah. He was EXTRAORDINARILY rude about the whole thing. I don’t know why we put up with such ignorance.
Then he had the nerve to call me the night of the surgery to «ask how I was». He does that to all his patients, I guess — it’s one of his schticks. Of course the last thing you want to do after you get your wisdom teeth out is talk. I asked him to call back later and he wouldn’t get off the phone. So I said I was in an incredible amount of pain to which he replied, «Oh come on!» LOL. What? Who is this guy? Ridiculous person.
Yeah, but seriously, don’t go here.

Apparently I am the only one who had problems with Dr. Colton. He is not personable at all! He was recommended by my dentist so I went in for a consultation. He ran through the consultation so quickly it made my head spin. At one point he said he would spend about 30 seconds removing each of my four wisdom teeth. This was a bit alarming, it seems like a very fast procedure, and I’d rather have someone take their time when I am having surgery.
Despite the consultation, I decided to go forward, hoping that he would ease my apprehension about his speed when I went in for the surgery.
Unfortunately, this operation was one of the worst experiences I have ever had, and I only wish I were exaggerating.
I was shown to the dentist chair and the nurses began prepping me. I asked them if I could speak to the doctor before we got started and they assured me that I could. He came into the room, went straight for my arm and tried to put me under. I said, «Doctor, I have a few concerns before we get started-​» to which he replied, «It’s fine, we discussed everything in your consultation.» I said, «Yes, but that is one of my concerns – » and again he said, «It’s fine. This will be so fast you won’t even know what happened.» This went on for a while, with me trying to talk to him, only to be interrupted and disregarded.
Here’s the problem– my concerns were with him as a surgeon, not with the operation itself. I’m not squeamish, I have no problem getting shots or giving blood or being put under. That was NOT the issue. Had he listened to anything I was saying he would have known that. Instead, he continued to assure me that the surgery would be fine.
As he continued to search for my vein to give me the anesthesia, I realized that he was not going to answer my questions. So I pulled my arm away and said, «Stop, wait-​,» to which he replied, «We are on a tight schedule.» At this point, he pulled my arm back, held it down, told me to push my fist into his hip (which I gladly did, a little harder than he intended), and thrust the needle into me. I started to cry. Yes, I actually started crying, and he just left the room.
The nurse wiped away my tears and started reassuring me about the procedure, at which point I told her, «I’m not concerned with the procedure, I am furious that I have been ignored this whole time and Dr. Colton refuses to talk to me about my operation.» The nurse replied, «Yes, well, he’s a surgeon, not a dentist, that’s just his personality, but he is a great surgeon.» I explained my concerns and she assured me that a quick procedure is actually better because the opening has less time to get infected. Perfect. That was really all that I needed to hear, but Dr. Colton refused to take one minute out of his schedule to tell me that.
When it was over Dr. Colton came to the recovery room and said something like, «See, it was just as great as I told you it would be.» My memory at this point is a little fuzzy, considering the anesthesia, but I believe I said, «No, it was not great, you – ,» only to be interrupted again as he talked quickly at my husband and then walked back out of the room. I remember calling him a ‘dick’ after he left.
A different nurse then came in, gave my husband my care instructions, and looked very sincerely at me as she apologized for his behavior.
The operation itself was fine, as far as I know. Contrary to others, no one called to check on me.
Despite his skill as a surgeon, I would never recommend Dr. Colton. The way that he disregarded me, his patient, was inappropriate and unprofessional, and borderline unethical. There was no way that he could have had any doubt that I did not want to proceed, yet he pulled my arm away from me and physically held me down. After the procedure, when I was still unhappy, he refused to apologize (or even listen to me long enough to realize I wanted an apology).

My family and I all use Dr. Colton for our oral surgery needs. Absolutely the most spectacular service you could ask for. He is friendly and caring. And yes, he always does call the next day to see how everyone is doing. Very personable.

Dr. Colton is the best surgeon i’ve ever been too. He completely made me feel at ease, walked me through all we were going to do. He is also the only person to get my vein on the first shot! I don’t remember anything about the surgery, but I do know that the staff and Dr. Colton get a huge thumbs up from me!
I also received a phone call from the doc that night to make sure everything was going ok. very nice!

Dr. Colton took out my wisdom teeth yesterday and considering I even thought to log on and tell anyone about it is a feat unto itself. First of all, i don’t have any threshhold for pain but I do not even really recall the actual surgery. GREAT DRUGS. He also has a sweet demeanor and called last night to check in with me. I think we’re dating. Just kidding! Dr. Colton rocks though!
