Dr. Trava is a caring Doctor who goes the extra mile. He and his staff are very professional Highly recommend

Dr. Trava is an EXCELLENT endodontist. He is so knowledgeable, professional, thorough, kind, and compassionate.. it never felt like I was getting a root canal because he made it painless and easy. I called on a Sunday and left a message was in such pain and he called right back and had me come in right away. I was so grateful.. He explains everything the process through recovery and his genuine personality is so rare and special. Dr. Trava is once in a lifetime Doc. There's no one like him. He's truly the BEST! Dr. Trava is the "REAL DEAL." read more

Dr. Brian P. Trava is an angel! I had a butchered root canal done by a prominent dentist, and I suffered for about 4 years, until Dr. Trava was referred to me. Dr. Trava breathes kindness and trust. He has excellent bed side manners. He has the greatest staff. I recommend Dr. Trava for the most difficult root canal. read more

If "10" stars could be awarded, I would score Dr. Trava nothing less. He found a hidden root after being referred to him that was hard to see in an x-ray. I also returned several times over the course of six months to ensure the root canal held up and the healing was progressing. I can't thank him enough for taking finally addressing the two years of chronic discomfort that was initially dismissed by my previous primary dentist as a sinus flare up. Fortunate that my new dentist referred me Trava for getting to the "root cause" of my chronic discomfort. He also teaches dentistry and used my x-rays as an example for finding this thinner roots... fascinating. Ten Stars! read more

Dr. Trava is my doctor for 30+ years. He just did 1 of my 2 root canals a couple months ago. Great skilled Dr with a good calming bedside manner yes however, I sadly learned today he is all about the money. Nothing but money. His concern is not u the patient or ur well being, it's about the fact he wasn't paid fo the other tooth. I'll explain. I have a payment arrangement at the office for the tooth he just did. Waiting on the 2nd tooth which was already cracked (back molar), a piece broke off yesterday (Sunday)(today is Monday). There's a throb & ache & the nerve is exposed. With the nerve being exposed it's so sensitive to air, saliva, my tongue hitting it, any food/liquid that accidentally finds it's way over there I see stars, the quiver & pain makes me want to jump out of my skin, it is so bad, the nerve is exposed & it's bad. My husband & I both recently got covid, we were extremely sick & both were hospitalized. We are now diagnosed with long haul covid. I had double pneumonia with my covid & my husband had a heart attack & now has major heart issues. My husband has been out of work. I am already on partial disability. My husband is in the process of applying for disability. I have 2 elderly parents in their 80's & a mom with terminal cancer where I am out of state to take care of her. With my parents fixed income & their struggle, I  help pay their way & some of their bills. I've never been a rich person to begin with but covid has really financially impacted us. I went through all savings. Credit has been hurt even though payments are being made. This morning I called Dr. Trava's office to make an emergency appointment for today to get out of this horrible pain, I was told  Dr. Trava would call me back. (mind u he never called me back yesterday as an emergency when I called to see what to do & how to stop the pain & sensation from the tooth breaking exposing nerve.) Dr. Trava calls me, he asked what was going on, I told him in detail & explained the great pain & discomfort I was in. I told him as a diabetic I wasn't able to eat or really drink because of the nerve being exposed & all that pain. He agreed with the pain the broken tooth & nerve exposure would cause but that's when he told me, "I sorry, I cannot see u, u can't come in, u can't have another tooth done until the other balance is taken care of. It has to be paid first." I was shocked & disappointed.  Meanwhile I'm still in discomfort & need something at least temporary to cover the nerve. I literally begged Dr. Trava to see me. I explained I have been his patient for over 30 years & always have paid my bills.  Always. I explained about the recent bout of covid, about my husband having the heart attack & being out of work. I even explained about my parents but he didn't care about me or the pain I'm in, all he cared about was getting paid. No compassion. I cannot tell you how saddened I am about this.  I never knew this about him. For me it's not as easy as finding another Dr, I have a real medical phobia. I already know Dr. Trava & trusted him for over 30 years. I am in pain, I already cried this morning after speaking to Dr. Trava, I needed help but he turned his back on me. He took an Oath, I thought he was to put people first & get them out of immediate pain. If he could do this to me, his patient of 30 years, who fell on extremely hard times, who always paid her bills, then what would he do to u in ur time of need, especially if u are short money & in pain??  He cares more about his money & getting paid then he does u the patient & helping u & getting u out of trouble/ pain. Sad & unfortunate. Dr Robert Baklajian who is a cardiologist in Paramus thank God is the complete opposite, he is compassionate, Dr. Baklajian truly cares about u the patient, ur health & ur well being first not the money or getting paid. He puts the patient first not the money unlike Dr. Trava. I am in pain with a dental emergency & Dr. Trava turned his back on me.  Find another Dr. Who will never do this to u in ur time of need.  He's only compassionate about his money. Sad. read more

Being a dental phobic for many years I was pretty terrified when I was told I would need 2 root canals. I am so happy I found Dr. Trava. He put my mind and ease right away. He takes his time to answer your questions, make sure you are comfortable and completely numb before starting. He will even crack a few jokes to make you laugh. He told me each step of the way how great I was doing and how much longer the procedure would take. Both root canals are finished and I am so happy. Root canals are not pleasant, but Dr. Trava has found a way to make the whole process so much easier. read more

I had an abscess in an old root canal and my regular dentist sent me to an endodonist. The infection was causing a great deal of pain. I called and Dr. Trava's office was able to get me an appointment the next morning. Dr. Shon was excellent. When I told him I couldn't bite down for the x-ray, he got me numb so I could without the pain. He was very caring and explained everything that he was doing. He did a great job and I'm almost completely better now. I hope this doesn't happen to me again, but if it does, I'll be back to see Dr. Shon for sure. read more

The very best!!!! Makes it so easy. Pam Mamary

After having bad experiences with several dentists, I was referred to Dr. Trava for a pretty severe root canal and infection. I called the Oradell office and explained that I had been in excruciating pain for several days. Although they were very busy, they were able to see me the same day I called because of how much pain I was in. The front office staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Dr. Trava has great bedside manner and explained everything he was going to be doing. He worked quickly and made sure to ask me frequently how I was feeling to ensure he wasn't hurting me. Even though I was squeezed in as a last minute emergency appt, I never got the sense that I was being rushed through. I really had a great experience with Dr. Trava, especially after seeing other dentists who seemed more interested in racking up the charges to my insurance than they were in actually helping me. I hope I never have a root canal again, but if I do, I will definitely be calling Dr. Trava. read more
