Disingenuous, Cavalier and Indifferent. My experience with…read moreDr Elizabeth Geisler was not a pleasant one. I went to see her as I had an infected molar and it needed root canal treatment. One $210 consultation later she advised that she could treat the tooth, but there was a possibility that if the tooth was cracked, she would not be able to help. Fair enough, but when I booked, I asked specifically about the likelihood of a good outcome and was assured that 'Dr Elizabeth Geisler would not proceed unless she was fully confident'. On the day of treatment, I endured the procedure with Dr Geisler indifferently gossiping over me to her assistant about their holiday shopping, and how she got a great deal on a Dyson, only then to be told casually that the tooth could not be saved and I would have to have it removed. At this point it became clear to me that Dr Geisler had been disingenuous, in fact she had little hope that she could save the tooth. That what I thought was a possibility was to her a probability. She put me through an expensive and unpleasant procedure for nothing. Worse than that, as an experienced professional she would have had a very good idea of the outcome, but continued to do it right before the holidays, leaving my molar ground down, in a weakened state and at a time I would have to wait some weeks before I could have it removed. As I left, she told me not to chew on that side because the tooth could break leaving me in considerable pain. So, after $705 I am in a worse condition than when I walked through her door.

If you need a root canal, go to Dr. Dow. From the moment I made my first call, a very bad situation…read morewas made better. I was brought in very quickly for a consult ( the very next day after seeing my dentist in fact). An appointment for a retreatment of a failed root canal ( by another endodentist ) was held for me for the very next day. Dr. Dow found the 'hidden' root that was infected ( and missed by another practice). Everyone associated with this group is compassionate and your comfort is their primary concern. I have received follow up phone calls asking how I am doing, Should I need another root canal in the future ( not on this tooth now ) I will only go to Dr. Dow.

Root Canal? - NO PAIN! Unheard of! - Not with Dr. Kyle Saisselin! I had a horrific experience…read morethat left me very apprehensive. But this experience was completely different! My phone call was answered by Nicky who answered all my questions with patience and understanding. She provided reassurance for my fears and gave me a total breakdown of costs over the phone - so no surprises! The day before my appointment, Nicky called to remind me and when I showed up she greeted me with warmth like she knew me for years. Next came Donna, Dr. Saisselin's assistant. She added another layer of kindness and compassion - answering questions and sharing information on the procedure so I knew what to expect. Her knowledge and gentle handling of equipment made me relax and put me at ease. Dr. Saisselin introduced himself and allowed me to share my concerns about what I was feeling. He was thorough in explaining what he would do. Anytime I had questions, even during the procedure, he would stop and listen and answer me - with patience and without judgement - always with a desire to ensure I was comfortable. His professionalism, "bedside" manner, and expertise were superb. I will never have my general dentist perform the work of an endodontic. It just doesn't make sense. Dr. Saisselin has equipment that provides much better access in performing the procedure and makes it more comfortable for patients. I have to mention the NO PAIN issue. Dr. Saisselin uses multiple local anesthetics to ensure the maximum level of comfort. Injections are eased into the skin - not jammed or forced. My regular dentist had been jamming the needle into the back of my mouth, I could feel a crunching sensation as she pushed the anesthetic into my gum. It was not pleasant. My entire body tensed. She was very apologetic saying, "I'm so sorry, I know it hurts but that's how I know I've got it in the correct location." REALLY?! What was I thinking!? So, coming in to meet Dr. Saisselin for the first time and sitting for a root canal, I was waiting for the painful injection. But THAT'S NOT HOW HE WORKS! He numbs you first with a citrus topical for a little bit before any needle. And, he's very slow with the first injection and works it while rubbing the cheek to keep any discomfort to a minimum. I told him he should give lessons on how to administer anesthetics. This experience made me realize I don't have to be in pain when having dental work and gave me reason to change dentists! Thank you, Dr. Saisselin. You, Nicky, and Donna made a very uncomfortable and painful situation bearable. I highly recommend your services and will quickly return if need be, in the future.

This place is a hidden gem in path. I was referred to Dr Glen Partnoy to do a root canal bcoz my…read moretooth situation was complex and my dentist was not confident enough to do it. I thought the procedure was going to be long and nasty. Believe it or not, it was actually quite enjoyable. Unlike other dentists, he explained what he was going to do before each step. I felt much more comfortable when I knew what exactly the doctor was doing to me. The procedure was done neatly and painlessly before I even realized. When I felt painful in my gum around that tooth 6mth later, I called the office and the receptionist was very nice to book me a consult on the same day. The assistant took the X-Ray free of charge. Dr Partnoy explained my X-ray thoroughly and confirmed my bone healed well. He advised me to get a crown instead of the permanent fillings, which was the same reason as what I expected. The team is absolutely professional and I would recommend here to anyone who needs to do a root canal.

For starters I like most people am not a fan of going to the dentist. But sometimes you have to…read moretake care of business. I was referred to Endodontic Specialists by Dr. Robert Feeley of Downtown Dental Centre for a root canal. I simply can't recommend Dr. Glen Partnoy highly enough. He was very professional, straight and to the point. He explained the diagnosis thoroughly in terms I could understand and prepared me for the procedure. All in all it took less than an hour. Dr. Partnoy prescribed me pain meds but honestly I have felt no post-op discomfort of any kind. At then end of the day my insurer Manulife only designated eligible $934 out of $1355 for the root canal fee. They only pay the prevailing rate for a dentist to perform root canals as opposed to a specialist. For me I will be going to Endodontic Specialists everytime--it's worth it!

To the credit of the practice I was contacted (likely after…read moremy review appeared) and was offered a refund which was subsequently made. Anytime a business owner takes responsibility for bad practices it can be only a good thing. I inquired if the practice intends to change the rotten policy and heard a lot of hemming and hawing (thus the 2 star update no higher). Hopefully, a change will come. But I did appreciate the effort to make the Bad policy right in my case
