    I had the unique situation of requiring apico surgery on one tooth and a standard root canal on an…read moreadjacent tooth. Dr. Vandersloot was able to combine these into a single visit, which was a huge convenience for my schedule. His surgical technique was meticulous. I experienced minimal swelling and very little post-op discomfort, which speaks to his expertise. The office staff--Aaliyah, Angelica, and RDA Yvette--were all incredibly helpful in scheduling ,caring and friendly for the dual procedure and made the entire experience seamless. A top-tier specialist. Thank you

    On May 8, 2025 I came in to get a root canal from Peter R Vandersloot. This was my first root canal…read more(hopefully my last *fingers crossed*) and I was in a lot of pain the weeks leading up to my appointment. The tooth needing the root canal was the second to last on the bottom right side (I forget the tooth number) but it had gotten to the point that I was taking Moltrin 3-4 times a day just to keep the pain manageable. If I didn't take meds before bed, I was sure to be awakened with throbbing pain, enough to have you questioning the point of eating candy ever again! Anyways, long story short, I came in to this office and the staff was very warm and kind to me. Peter was very helpful in educating me about the procedure and what I could expect throughout it afterwards. He's really a magician in the sense that he debunked all my pre root canal fears around the pain and how it would be the most excruciating experience I'd ever go through. The only pain I felt throughout the procedure was when I received the needle injection for numbing the area and nerve. Other than that, I felt no pain and by the time he was finished, I was shocked that it was all over. It took no more than 1 hour start to finish. He's really someone I wish I could go to for any dental issue because his conversation is awesome and he's so well informed. A true professional in every sense of the word and his team of professionals that assist in the procedure were amazing as well. This place is like a small private practice, not like going to a giant dentist location with a bunch of chairs and rotating dentist. They are exceptional in their ability to resolve root canals and in the process educate clients so they are more aware of the business of dental work. I left there understanding who I should get insurance with, what types of dentist I should get work done with as well as how to sift through yelp reviews to identify honest reviews over fabricated ones. As you can imagine, there's a bunch of dentist offices with reviews that are very basic and are there to just give the 5 stars in hopes of improving the businesses overall rating. If you need a root canal done, don't waste your time going anywhere else. This place has got you covered. Thanks again Peter & Staff! It's been over a month and the pain I felt prior to my visit with you has never returned.

I also didn't like the fact that I was recommended to get the tooth pulled, and do a bone graft. Not guaranteed to would work either after over $3000 just for that part. Then it would require a new implant and bridge which would add a lot more. Went to a new dentist and found out that I have a bad infection. Got referred to Dr. Tran. Great staff and Dr. Tran explained to me what was going on and different methods that are available. I have total faith in him and don't have reservations as I did before. I go back in a month to check on the infection and finish the root canal and then we go forward from there. I can also tell that Dr. Tran is looking at what is best for his patients. The cost was very reasonable too.

They were friendly, patient, and explained everything in a way that actually made sense. Dr. Tran took the time to show me what made my tooth different and walked me through exactly what he was going to do. That level of honesty and transparency made the whole experience so much better than I expected. Overall, an amazing place with genuinely kind people who clearly care about their patients. I'm really glad I ended up here.

My son is on the autism spectrum, and experiences like dental visits can take a little extra time and care. From the moment his name was called by our hygienist, Abby, everything just felt right. She greeted him with such a warm and welcoming demeanor, patiently giving him the space he needed to feel comfortable walking into the room at his own pace. What truly stood out was how thoughtful the environment was, cartoons were already playing on both the wall and the ceiling-mounted TV above his chair, which immediately helped put him at ease. And Abby's work? Absolutely incredible. Her hands were so gentle and precise that my son was completely calm and, honestly, seemed to enjoy the entire experience. It's rare and incredibly heartwarming to witness this level of genuine compassion. The entire staff showed such kindness and understanding...it didn't feel clinical, it felt human. My son may not always be able to express it in words, but the care you showed means the world to him. and to us as his parents. Thank YOU for creating such a safe and positive space. It truly doesn't go unnoticed.

They explained everything clearly and put her mind at ease. Abby offered her a blanket to be cozy, and a movie to watch during the procedure. Dr. Fife was such a calming presence. Friendly, professional and he was so fast! My daughter said it was nearly painless. This provider is not in my network and therefore was quite expensive.... WORTH EVERY CENT!! The care we received was priceless!

The receptionist was warm and helpful, and Abby (the dental assistant, I believe) was so friendly--she made the transition into the procedure much easier. She even provided a blanket and gave me two stress balls to help calm my nerves, which was incredibly thoughtful. Dr. Zhuk made my root canal the best experience it could possibly be. He took his time, explained everything clearly, and really helped ease my anxiety. I especially appreciated how he honored my requests--like letting me wear my AirPods and making sure I didn't see the needle. Those small acts of kindness made a huge difference for me. I'm incredibly grateful to the whole team. They turned something I was dreading into a manageable, even positive experience.
