They make a root canal tolerable. Thanks for great work

100% pain free experience with my root canal, even the shot in the roof of my mouth. No one wants to go through this stuff, but if you have to, I would recommend them without hesitation.

Dr Walker was amazing and was able to save my tooth after another dentist was unable to complete my root canal correctly. Nancy in the office is a saint! I would recommend

I went to this practice when I was young and they did excellent work and were very friendly. Recently I needed information from a procedure I had in 1999 and Nancy went out of her way to speak with the doctors to get what I needed. Thank you so much!

What baffles me about this office is that they even bother to include a question on the “Why are you here today” forms about if you’re apprehensive about dental work if you’re going to be stuck with a doctor who has the bedside manner of a cold, wet blanket.nnAfter waiting over an hour after my appointment time, I was summoned back by an assistant who only said my name and turned around, neglecting to explain or even apologize for the delay. Then in the chair, the endodontist, Dr Fillak, approaches me from behind, shakes my hand and then proceeds to stand behind the dental chair and bark, “what can I do for you.”nnStartled, I try to explain what is hurting (everything that was on my referral sheet which I handed over upon coming in) and he starts leaning the seat back, offering no comforting words, no comments on the weather, not even the courtesy of saying he would lean the chair back, I mean basics people.nnMy anxiety skyrocketing, he is still out of my peripheral view when the dental tools come in. He starts prodding at my gums and sore tooth with minimal explanation and when it hurts so sharply that I jerk away, he sighs and I actually apologized for interrupting him.nnHe proceeds to poke and prod without any empathy or explanation, continuing to ask the same questions as though he expects a different answer or likely just doesn’t care. When he does a cold test, he lowers the tool towards my mouth and I ask if it will hurt, and he answers, “it will be cold.” And that was it.nnThe exam was painful, I wasted two hours of my day to walk out empty handed, and the endodontist treated me like a walking set of teeth and a wad of cash. Only when I asked what the likely prognosis was or just for any answers in general did he recommend a cone X-ray, I declined and said I would go to my regular dentist.nnHe finished tying some notes, says he will walk us to the front, and promptly disappears.nnThe harassed looking receptionist, Jessica, did nothing but apologize when her demeanor was the nicest of anyone’s in the place. I bet she’s on the receiving end of Dr Wet Blankets apathy and I couldn’t be sorrier for her.nn$140 wasted on a painful, demeaning consultation. I will never go back.
