Fear of extraction. Request dentist recommendation, San Jose area.

I will need to have the bottom left middle molar tooth removed due to
fracture.
My general dentist referred me to the oral surgeon a month ago and he
was very rough during the examination and not sensitive to the pain I
was having, so I do not want to use him for the extraction.
I have never had an extraction and I am very nervous, so if anyone
could comment about their experiences and suggestions to make the
procedure less painful. Should I use general or local anaesthesia? I
don't know how expensive general anaesthesia is -- my Delta Dental
insurance plan covers up to $1500 for extraction procedure.
I had local anaesthesia when I had periodontal infection cleaned.
Everything was numb and I could not feel pain -- just little pushing. I
guess that is the same feeling I will have during the extraction...
But I am still very nervous and stressed out about losing a tooth.
The periodontist at first said he could perform the extraction but then
recommended that the oral surgeon do the extraction, mentioned
something about rather long roots (bottom left middle molar). I guess
this means that is always best to use oral surgeon for extraction of
molar?
If anyone has any recommendations for a gentle oral surgeon around the
San Jose area, please mail me.
Thanks
