Doctor Jarboe and her colleagues at Baltimore Washington Endodontics have blown me away. I was referred to the practice by my general dentist for a root canal (yikes).
Of course, my initial fear was that the process of getting an appointment would be a tedious one and would keep me in suspense, I've never been so happy to say I was wrong. I called the office after leaving my regular dentist on a Thursday afternoon and was able to be seen that Monday. The desk staff were absolutely on top of everything, sending me all of the information I would need to complete prior to so that I could streamline the process as much as possible.
Come my visit Monday I checked in 10 minutes prior to my appointment time and was promptly taken back to discuss my dental concerns and the background of the issue with my tooth. Coming from a family in medicine, I always appreciate when a new doctor takes the time to find out from me what is going on before blindly jumping into doing work. We had a 3D imaging completed on my mouth which proved to be a lifesaver as my tooth had roots much longer than what could be seen in the initial x-ray from my regular dentist.
After getting my consultation taken care of, and meeting Doctor Jarboe who would be performing my procedure, I was able to have a next day appointment scheduled. My appointment started on time, was prefaced with an outline of costs as well as what insurance was covering. Doctor Jarboe explained the process in detail as I always prefer to have as much information as possible. The process from start to finish was under an hour and resulted in me feeling far better than when I had first come in. One would feel that when doing a root canal, a small amount of pain is to be expected, again I was pleasantly surprised that I had no discomfort during or after the procedure.
To make the experience even better, Dr. Jarboe also inquired about my interests and the music I listened to so that I could have music to make the experience even more relaxing.
Overall I don't believe anyone enjoys being told they need a root canal, but I was fortunate enough to have an experienced doctor who not only saved my tooth but made the process a relaxing one in which I feel like I couldn't have possibly asked for a better experience. Ideally, root canals would be avoided, but if you ever have one the team at Baltimore Washington Endodontics is truly the only choice that makes sense in my mind.
Thank you for saving my tooth and making me feel like I was the only patient there anytime I called with questions, or whenever I just needed a calming reassurance that I was in great hands read more
