I'm on dshs medical insurance and was referred to chothia. I get very nervous at the dentist and always have, and when i got all the shots in my mouth to numb up the areas where my wisdom teeth were, i started to cry and didn't feel very well. when the dental asst. came in the room she gave me some tissue, and told me i would be fine and the worst was over!! i was told to rub my jaws where i was so tense, and chothia came back into the room and told me that he has done this for 25 years and could pull teeth with his eyes closed, so if i were to feel pain, "it would be your fault" ( as in my fault!) i just let that go, but when he was checking to see if my teeth were numb enough, he poked so hard into my bottom right side wisdom tooth because it wasn't numb yet, i started telling him owe owe owe that really hurts!! he took a step back and told me "if you tell me owe owe owe i WILL not believe you and i will think you are lying, only TELL me one time that it hurts" he said very rudely..... he had also said tome that this could either take 2 hours or this could take all night and he really didnt want to waste his time!!!! I have never been treated like this in my whole entire life and i have spent alot of time in hospitals and dental offices! it was obvious that i was nervous and didn't want to be there, but i needed my teeth to be pulled badly. i would not refer him to any body i kno or even dislike! i left there in tears yesterday and i still cant understand why i was treated this way

I moved to Seattle two years ago and Dr Chothia was recommended to me by colleagues. I have had a number of treatments with him, incluidng root canal, and I was very impressed with the quality of the treatment there. Dr Chothia takes his time, explains things clearly, and has an excellent support staff. I recommend him very highly.
