But he turned out to be this cute little funny doctor. He overexplains everything. Tells you everything he's doing every step of the way and sings to you. I was finagling appointments between the endodontist and dentist office. The dentist numbed me up for the endodontist office because my procedure at the dentist office made me slightly late for Dr. Chan. Dr. Chan was still overly concerned to make sure that I wouldn't experience any pain. This is an endodontist that thoroughly checks, rechecks, and rechecks again his work. It's too bad that I'm his first reviewer, but if it makes you feel any better I am an RN who has worked in over 60 hospitals across the USA. I know the good from the bad doctors. He must be a great endodontist anyway because he gave up a life in NYC to serve the people of the DMI, right?

He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Economics from New York University in 1991. From there he worked as a Research Associate/Fund Accountant in a capital management firm in New York City. In 1994, Dr. Chan attended Columbia University, College of Dental Medicine and graduated in 1998 with his Doctor of Dental Surgery. He then completed a one year General Practice Residency at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, NY. He then went on and completed his two year Endodontic Residency at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA in 2001. Afterwards he then joined a group practice in Jenkintown, PA practicing until March 2003 when he moved to Iowa and opened his own practice, Central Iowa Endodontics in Des Moines and Marshalltown, IA.

No fault to the dentist, I just have longer roots than the average human apparently. First of all, he was able to see me the same day. My past experiences with being referred to endodontist usually meant waiting another week or more before I could be seen. Dr Erickson and his team were able to get me numb enough to finish the root canal. I didn't feel any pain and they even gave me a blanket and some apple juice because I was cold and shaking from the additional numbing they did. Afterwards they provided after hours number in case I had any issues. I was able to text him and he would always respond promptly and put up with my constant worries and questions. Unfortunately I did have to go back and have an apicoectomy on the same tooth. Due to the complications from the initial root canal and my lovely long root! Now I've had countless work done on my mouth but this procedure scared me to death. The team there were very patient with me and put me at ease. I'm recovering from it now and so far everything is going good. It's definitely reassuring to know if I do have anymore problems that he will be there. I wish he was an oral surgeon. I'd go to him in a heartbeat to have implants done. If I ever do need anymore endodontic treatment, he is the only endodontist I'll go to as well as if any of my family will require it.

It was a very good experience as far as a root canal can be! However my recent visit left me in pain with many questions & furious. I paid over $400 for what turned in to a consultation in which I was diminished by Dr. Nashleanas. Condescending. He clearly judged me as not worthy of having teeth & obviously didn't care. I requested his knowledge of possible options as to bone loss, he said he wasn't trained to answer that. Other staff very kind.

I have also completed the invisalign program while a patient with Lakeside Dental and am extremely happy with my results. For me, the program took about 2 years to complete and Dr. Brown made sure all of the concerns about my teeth were addressed and corrected. He was very diligent and knowledgeable in this area. I was very impressed with the technology available with the invisalign impressions. Here, rather than the old school dental impressions, they used the iTero instrument that takes real-time 3D images of your teeth. I was in the office today for a routine cleaning and met Dr. Jones, who seems very knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you all for everything you do to give me a beautiful smile!

I was told at my last visit to finish my current trays and that they would order more or remove the attachments afterward. Now I am being told I must pay additional fees just to have the orthodontic attachments removed and to receive retainers, which I believed were included in my original treatment plan. After being in trays for several years and going through multiple refinements, this has been extremely disappointing and stressful. Communication has been poor, and I do not feel my treatment was handled professionally or with clear expectations. I would encourage others to get everything in writing and ask detailed questions about what happens at the end of treatment.
