You already have the makings of an excellent review. I'd add two things that are especially…read morepersuasive to someone frantically Googling an endodontist while in pain: you felt listened to/believed, and whether you would confidently return or send a family member there. I'd also mention that the technology wasn't just impressive--it helped Dr. Scott confirm the diagnosis before proceeding, which communicates that you didn't feel rushed into an expensive procedure. Here's how I'd put it all together: I cannot recommend Dr. Mark Scott and Scott Endodontics highly enough. If you find yourself needing a root canal--and especially if you're already in significant pain--this is exactly the kind of office you hope to find. From the moment I arrived, the entire staff was kind, warm, professional, and incredibly organized. When you're hurting, a little patience and compassion go a LONG way, and I never once felt like an inconvenience. The ladies at the front desk were welcoming and efficient, the office was spotless and well staffed, even the restroom was exceptionally clean, and there was plenty of convenient parking. Dr. Scott took the time to thoroughly explain what was happening and what he was going to do before proceeding. He used advanced 3D imaging to confirm that I did, indeed, need root canal treatment, which gave me a lot of confidence that we were treating the right problem for the right reason. I am also notoriously difficult to numb and usually require extra time and anesthetic. Dr. Scott listened to me, got me completely numb very quickly, and made sure I was comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure. I was particularly impressed with the technology used during treatment. After accessing the tooth with minimal drilling, Dr. Scott used the GentleWave system to thoroughly clean the canals and remove damaged tissue and debris. He explained what he was doing along the way without overwhelming me with technical jargon. When we were finished, I wasn't simply sent out the door. I left with written aftercare instructions, clear medication guidance, and a treatment plan explaining exactly what needs to happen next with my regular dentist to complete the restoration. Dr. Scott has a genuinely pleasant, friendly demeanor and combines that with an office that is clearly run extremely well. His staff reflects that same level of professionalism and kindness. Nobody wants to need an endodontist, but if I ever need one again, I know exactly where I'm going. I would confidently send a friend or family member to Dr. Scott without hesitation. Five very well-earned stars for Dr. Scott and the entire Scott Endodontics team!

After a cavity filling gone wrong led to an infection, I found myself at Scott Endodontics. I'd…read morebeen in pain for six months with no relief, and unable to chew on one side of my mouth. Dr. Scott and his team confirmed through their X-rays and testing that my root had died ... sigh. I was able to schedule an early morning appointment to come back for my procedure. The team was kind and supportive, which I appreciated because I have a fear of needles. Dr. Scott walked me through each step of the process, which included fair warning of discomfort I'd experience. I was thankful to use my headphones during the 20-30 min procedure. I'll still need to visit my dentist for a permanent cap on the tooth. I'll also revisit Dr. Scott and his team in six months to check me again for any infection. Fingers crossed. I'd really like to return to annual cleanings as the major dental visit of the year. Most visits to him come through referrals from your dentist but he does accept consultations outside of his typical network of dentists. It did take several days to get in for my original consultation.

I was referred to this office by my dentist. I would never return here again. Dr. Vlahos was very…read morerude and short with me. I kept quiet counting the minutes till I'd get out of there. Sadly I was sent back to his office where he seemed in better spirits than my first visit, 10 months prior. I pointed out how rude he was during my first visit and went over every point with him. Apparently he doesn't like to be corrected. He turned around and wrote my dentist a very catty letter about me lying about things I had said or done while in his office. There was one sentence, at the end of his letter about my problem tooth. I got to see that letter and defend myself to my dentist. I pointed out what I said and did and what I did NOT say or do. A grown man writing such a letter. Sad. Let's hope Dr. Vlahos gets the help he needs.

She did a very great job on my root canal and kept making sure I was okay and calm because my anxiety gets to me sometimes when I'm having dental work done. She's very sweet and gentle. She also explained EVERYTHING before she went in and did my root canal. Highly recommend!!!

Although the receptionist is not very friendly, the attention, knowledge and skill of the…read moreendodontist more than compensates. The endodontist retreated a tooth that had a previous root canal. Let me clarify that this endodontist (Dr. Kelly Walker) nor anyone at this location performed the original root canal. So this specialist was needed to correct a problem that occurred with the original root canal. The experience here was wonderful. Before she started anything, we discussed the anxiety that could occur because of this procedure. She was glad that I disclosed this issue because it changed her procedure just a little. She offered to take short breaks during the procedure, if necessary. I can't believe that there was no pain at all because she numbed me so very well and she was not rough during the procedure. I only felt slight pressure during the entire process (drilling thru the crown, scraping out the infected pulp and cleaning up). Even as the drugs began to wear off, the pain was not excruciating. I recommend this endodontist wholeheartedly.

I'm updating my review I wrote in 2013. Back then I was treated by this Endodontist for a root…read morecanal that had developed an abscess at the end of the root. Through surgery Dr. Cook removed the abscess and all was well. This summer I started developing a tooth ache over the same tooth every time my sinuses acted up. On Labor Day weekend I was in agony. Come Tuesday morning the pain was completely gone. At my hygienist appointment in late September the hygienist took extra x-rays and did a thorough exam. She and the dentist that was at the practice that day decided there was no dental problem and that it must be my sinuses. In the beginning of December I once again was experiencing an excruciating tooth ache. My dentist, Dr. Renshaw, worked me in immediately. Sure enough the x-rays that day indicated I had an abscess above the root canal again. He prescribed antibiotics and made a referral to Dr. Cook. After our holiday vacation I had my appointment with Dr Cook. Dr. Cook is an excellent Endodontist and quite honest too. I said I was no longer having the toothache and he said that was because the abscess was draining. Upon examination and x-rays taken that day he indicated that his 30 years of experience tells him that redoing the root canal via surgery would not cure the problem. Although there was still a small amount of abscess the true problem was a crack in the root. Unfortunately, the cure is to have the tooth pulled and have my existing bridge redone. So I'm back to Dr. Renshaw to get a treatment plan. Thank you Dr. Cook for being honest about the true situation. 2023/ #11

The procedure was relatively painless with Dr. Sauer and her staff checking in with me regularly to ensure I was comfortable. They completed the procedure quickly and professionally.

The procedure was successful. This is a practice that cares. They respect their patients and genuinely want the best for them. While I do not wish to have a need to go back anytime soon, I will not hesitate to contact Springhurst Endodontist the moment I need their services.

Nope, Dr. Walker numbed me a few times and I felt ZERO pain besides of course the initial numbing injections (totally normal). He and his staff were very friendly and informative. Root canals are no fun but at least I know a good doctor to fix them!!

Dr Cook was my forth and hands down second to none the best Doctor I have ever been to. From the cleanliness of his office, the receptionist and the dental technician that assisted him, you will not find any better in the Kyana area. Dr Cook's chair side manner puts you at ease. The root canal was completely painless. Next day there was zero discomfort. Dr Cook is a Navy Veteran and honorably served his country for 12+ years. I'm a retired Coast Guard veteran. I was completely at ease knowing I had a brother in arms careing for me. Bottom line if you need an Endodonist Dr Cook should be first on your list. Thank you Dr Cook. Bravo Zulu.
