After roughly 22 years, a root canal I had from a previous dentist failed. It was spotted on X-ray…read morefrom my current periodontist and cosmetic dentist roughly in 2013 however. They had watched it continuously yearly. It decided it was "not playing games anymore" and I knew it was infected. I went to urgent care and all the doctor had to do was look at my gums near that tooth to know there was an issue. She prescribed Augmentin. As the tooth had the root canal, I didn't have an idea an infection was there, until the day after Christmas. I couldn't bend down without it throbbing. I couldn't touch way up at the root area without it hurting, and because of where the tooth is located, I couldn't smile or laugh without pain. This Endo Group got me in ASAP so that Dr. Choi could look at it. X-rays were taken, and he confirmed that there was indeed an infection, and that the best option at this juncture would be a procedure in layman's terms, where they go into the gum and clean out all the diseased and infectious tissue, cut a small part of the tip of your root off, and then fill the top off so that nothing gets back down into the root. Dr. Choi did state that he doesn't preform this particular procedure and that only Dr. Nagel does, so they booked me with Dr. Nagel very quickly too considering this was all during the holidays for another consult. Dr. Nagel stated he could perform it after looking at my X-rays and the tooth, and conveyed to me that if I desired to get this tooth fixed more quickly, he worked mostly out of the Framingham office. (I did meet with him and Dr. Choi originally in Milford) When I asked the scheduling department what they could do, luckily for me someone canceled, and I could have the procedure done the day after I saw Dr. Nagel, but in Framingham. The procedure was painless as Dr. Nagel knows exactly how much local is needed, & I felt nothing. The procedure was also extremely quick. You're booked for an hour, but most of that is simply prep (numbing) and it felt like he wasn't in my mouth that long. When we did speak during consult, I did convey to him, that I am the type of individual that doesn't desire a play by play of what someone is doing in my mouth as I suffer from panic attacks. He stated he would only tell me when he needed to leave to take X-rays, which made me feel better. He also asked me NUMEROUS times how I was doing. So he not only performed a pain free surgical procedure, but he made sure that you were doing well every step of the way. They even gave you a blanket if you felt cold. There was ZERO bleeding afterwards because of the cauterizing he did as well. So you're not walking out with a whole bunch of gauze. Or blood all over your lips. He prescribed Amoxicillin, a prescription mouth wash, and I don't like pain killers, so he gave me 800 ibuprofen which you don't even need to take much of it. I'm on day 5 of healing, and I think I took 1 for three days. Not the 2 as I didn't need it. It's healing outside of the gum wonderfully. You wouldn't know he did anything to you. He did inform me on what to expect. I had no bruising which I was happy about (but he stated that could occur), minor swelling that has went down to almost nothing. He genuinely cares about his patients and their concerns. He listens attentively, and you will see that, as he's performing your procedure (whether it's a root canal, or an apic that I had performed) that he listens to all your fears and makes sure you are doing wonderfully every step of the way. He's excellent in post op care instructions, so you know exactly what to expect and what you can and can't do. If I ever need another root canal or this particular procedure, I would not hesitate to book him in a heartbeat. Thank you Dr. Nagel for being an exceptional doctor. It is appreciated more than you'll ever know.

WE refused to do the 3D x-ray. When pressed, she said she could do the 3D x-ray after doing a root canal - if I wanted it. [Why do the test to see if root canal is feasible AFTER the root canal?] Instead, she duplicated the through-the-cheek x-ray that the dentist had done a few days earlier. [Supposedly, ADA recommendations on lead shielding have been relaxed because, among other things, with digital x-rays, there's no need for duplicates. WE doesn't use lead shields AND does unnecessary x-rays.] Then, WE did the same exam that the dentist had done - though following an inflexible procedure: Positioned my arm on my leg and said to raise it if I felt pain. Tapped on a different tooth. I looked at her and said, "Of course it doesn't hurt; you're tapping on the wrong tooth." She started over again, placing my arm on my leg... I glared at her as she tapped on the wrong tooth again. Eventually, she tapped on the tooth that I had gone to her for, and I raised my hand. Sprayed something like liquid nitrogen on the tooth to determine temperature sensitivity. Then declared "The roots are dead; I'll do a root canal.". [Never checked the roots themselves.] Charged $355 to do what the dentist had already done (for less money).... I found another endodondist who did the 3D x-ray. I suspect my dentist referred me because WE is owned by the same chain that bought my dentist's practice. I'll start looking for another dentist, now. The stupidity continues. I got a phone call from them about the above review. They claimed that they were trying to save me money by not doing the 3D x-ray. Then, why did she offer to do it AFTER the root canal? Then, the 3D x-ray would have been a complete waste. She also said that the through-the-cheek x-ray wasn't good enough. [Why not mention that?] I brought up the fact that, in the waiting area, I was notified that they were running late 35 minutes after my appointment time. I tried to explain that the time to tell a patient that you're running late is at or before the time at which they are late. She tried to justify giving notification after it's become obvious. They just don't get it. I just hung up.

This was my 2nd consult with Endodontist. Upon my initial interaction with Dawn at the front desk…read moreI was met with warmth and asked a lot of questions about the office and Dr. Lisa Tran. Dawn has 30+ years in that office and was sympathetic to my situation. This is a long post for those who have trauma or sensory issues - please read. I went to this office because I am an adult with trauma. I didn't go to the dentist until I was 11 and having my teeth cleaned took 4x due to swelling and cavities. It was horrific. Recently I had a crown at Aspen Dental after leaving a dentist in Griswold due to coverage changes and they said I had $12K of work to be done with cracked teeth that didn't show on xrays (later found out upon returning to Griswold Dentist). They did the first crown at Aspen and I had unexplainable trauma as I started to cry and felt a panic attack. I also had wisdom teeth out when I was 20 and they gave me a shot of novocaine to the roof of my pallet that I almost passed out as I suffer from sensory issues. Later, I found out later this is one of the main reasons women have trauma in a chair from sexual trauma and I was molested and raped when I was younger. So, I knew I needed to have potential laughing gas (nitrous oxide) and wanted a dentist that is emphatic and understood the situation. Dr. Tran had Ashley assist in the procedure and she was very nice and understood my needs. I brought earbuds and listened to music so I didn't hear them. Dr. Tran and I talked before about the complexities of my issues and she was so sympathetic and touched by what I shared - not making me feel bad for having hangups about my needs. During the procedure, she explained everything but I didn't want to know and said to just do it. She did not have to give me a shot to the roof of my mouth, nor did I need nitrous. I needed trust in knowing I was safe. I had a major abscess in that tooth and it's been 1 week out and I am thrilled to say I feel great. I would drive for hours to see her if needed. She's an incredible person....and an expert in her field. I can't say enough good things about this office. I have a child with sensory issues and know Parents are always looking for experts in field who can work with those that are sensitive - she and their office would be the ones that fit this need. Thank you to the entire staff for creating an environment of psychological safety and learning about the whole patient. With gratitude, Suzanne Arena

When I entered her office, I knew I had a large abscess above one of the affected teeth. After using her special "CAT scan" machine, we found out I actually had 2 Abscesses and a fistula, which had formed from the infection. She very patiently discussed my options and benefits of attempting to retreat both teeth. We both agreed that the case would be challenging due to a broken file that had been left behind in my canal from the first procedure--and due to the fact that my root had a hook at the end of it that she would have to navigate. Well, Dr. Amaro did a wonderful job! I ended up having 2 appointments. She is gentle and very kind. I didn't have any pain or discomfort at either visit. The Novocain injections were painless. She was able to navigate around the broken file and my crooked root. She saved both of my teeth--and for that I will always be grateful. I highly recommend her for any of your endo needs!

THE MICHAEL JORDAN OF ENDODONTISTS!…read more Believe it or not, I am about to sing the praises of an endodontist! No reason to be nervous about a root canal, especially if you have a good dentist. I was actually looking forward to having mine! Why? Because I was in a lot of pain for a few weeks BEFORE having the procedure... I wanted it to stop! After some research on the web, I chose Dr. Aboushala based on his stellar reviews and credentials... and I'm so glad I did. Firstly, Dr. Aboushala is all about doing everything he can to save your tooth... I like that. I had a very large area of infection (hence the pain) and he affirmed that a root canal would be the right procedure. He did an amazing job... absolutely no pain. I've had a few root canals before, but this doctor is in his own league. He has a wonderful caring demeanor and explains everything he is doing. He is very deliberate and checks everything along the way in an exacting manor. He takes the time to make sure that everything he is doing is perfect. As the procedure advanced, his professionalism gave me the confidence that I would have a successful outcome. And I did! I was finished with the procedure around 12n and my tooth already felt so much better that night. I could eat soft foods with no problem, and pretty much anything I wanted a couple days later. I was ecstatic! After returning to the doctor's office for a check on it, everything was in good shape, as I expected. If you need a root canal, I can't recommend Dr. Aboushala more highly. He's quite special and I'm so glad I found him. I'm thinking of moving to Florida soon, but if I need a root canal in the future I will no doubt fly back to Boston to see this amazing man who does fantastic work and genuinely cares about his patients.

I called on a Thursday from a vacation because my dentist recommended a root canal ASAP. Dr. Aboushala's office was able to get me in first thing Monday morning. They explained how the insurance worked and took all my information so there wasn't much to do when I got there. Once confirmed that I did need a root canal, Dr. Aboushala said he could do it right then and was very gentle, explaining everything along the way. One thing I was concerned about was the discomfort of having your mouth open for so long, but he kept providing frequent breaks, which really made a difference. They explained clearly post-procedure instructions and worked with me to adjust them so they were right for me. The follow-up the next day was the icing on the cake. So while no one ever wants a root canal, if you have to have one, Dr. Aboushala and his office make it as easy as possible and I highly recommend them.
