Dr. Baumgartner is not only a first-class, experienced, Ft. Bragg dentist, he's also a generous great guy. I refer both to his cheerful, highly informed "bedside" manner and his flexibility about what he charges. He has been my go-to dentist on all too many serious issues for upwards of ten years.I have had various crowns (especially well done since his brother actually fashions them), fillings and a root canal -- all of which turned out well.

Finally, his predictions about what to worry about (or not) are nuts on -- especially useful days before you leave the area and/or go on vacation. His staff, especially Cindy, is equally first-rate. How often do you find it a pleasure to visit your dentist? I do! Robert B, Mendocino
