I can't say enough great things! I'm not the ideal dental patient. I was freaking out. They were soooo sweet and really great at making me comfortable! read more

This was hands down one of the best dental experiences i have ever had. It was fast, staff was professional, and i felt totally welcomed and at ease the whole time. read more

I've taken a long time to write this review. Wanted to see if Dr. Marcum's errors had caused permanent damage; it appears now that it has. When he did a root canal repair, he missed the fact that I had what is called a "C" shaped tooth and let a horrendous bacterial infection fester and spread, despite my complaints of pain. I went for a second opinion to an endodontist near work who was just exploring the tooth when puss exploded from the tooth (sorry -- gross yet true). She immediately redid the root canal, having to make the cavity larger to get rid of all the puss from infection she could and put me on antibiotics. She hoped she had caught it in time, yet it has been over a year now and I am faced with a now needed tooth extraction, as it had progressed to my jawbone -- no fault of hers but rather Dr. Marcum's for allowing the infection to get to such a state. I have pictures and x-rays supporting my story. Forgiving at first, I originally believed that everyone is entitled to one mistake, and simply asked him for my money back so that I could apply it to the second root canal done by Dr. Patmore. He refused. Not someone I would consider as having integrity, let alone skill with complex dental issues. It appears that my experience was the same as Karen W's and Leslie D's below. I had to agree and laugh at Kert T's review in that at least Kert didn't experience Dr. Marcum showing him his belly button, as he had to me. read more

Great place for Endodontist treatment. Dr. Marcum and staff are very helpful and make the procedure go smoothly.

Dr. Marcum is a lot more than a pretty fair surgeon. He's trained to do dental implants but has been avoid it ... its too easy to recommend an implant for a cracked tooth. Needless to say, I prefer to keep the teeth I inherited at birth, if I can. His X-Ray technology is excellent and he spends to the time to explain what's going on ... when root canals go bad things can get complicated and dealing with infections like that requires a meticulous surgeon and dentist. Those can bring on nightmares inspired by photos of abscesses in Egyptian mummies that ate the bone and grew into their brain cavity. His demeanor is always positive and if he thinks you need an implant he will send you to the right place. I'm very glad I have been his patient for years now. read more

I did not have a good experience at Nova. I feel the tooth they treated was misdiagnosed. When I went back because I was still experiencing symptoms they were very condescending. They are also very poor at explaining things. I ended up getting a second opinion from another dentist and had to have a second root canal. I would never go back here. read more

Very professional. No problems at all. Staff is super friendly and efficient. Dr Markum is easy going and obviously loves his work. I'm scared to death of dentists, so, while a root canal is not a happy prospect, From the moment I walked through the door, I was put at ease. No pain. Highly recommend Nova read more

Great office, relaxed and friendly. One review said they could do this in their sleep; that is spot on. They are totally in sync, it made me fell I was in good hands. read more

Got a root canal from this guy. He is decent. Price is about 50% of what I was quoted at the Shervin Gholian place. There is also no bullshit cost like 3D scans and whatever stuff they would try to get money from your. He can pretty much do this with his eyes shut... His assistant can also do this with her eyes shut... If you are a person like me, you should enjoy this experience. Fast, simple, no bullshit and relaxed. But I do understand if this is your first time or if you don't understand this procedure, it could be confusing and terrifying... He doesn't really tell you what is going on and what is happening. read more

I had major anxiety about my root canal and Dr.Marcum made me feel really at ease, he's pretty hilarious, and just a fun person to be around which made everything feel like it went so quickly. He took his time, everything went smoothly and his office staff was awesome too. read more

This guy is awesome! I don't have insurance so I had to pay with care credit and this office offers 18 month no interest with care credit! Sweet! My dentist referred another root canal specialist who wanted to charge $1500.00 per tooth with a 6 month no interest care credit plan. I called this office and it was under a $1000.00 per tooth. My experience was good they numb you up so you don't feel a thing. The staff are super friendly and they get you in and out very quick. I highly recommend them if you need any of these major services. read more

I was reffered to Dr. Marcum to have a root canal done and 1 other place. I chose this place because the secretaries were very nice on the phone and they put me on a cancellation list and I got called in within days,thankfully since I was in so much pain. The secretary was nice & the dental assistant was very easy on me unlike other places I have been to. Dr. Marcum was also professional and gentle too.A very nice man, he did my root canal in less than 45 min. Which was suprising because I have long roots and usually dentists have a difficult time drilling. After the procedure they took the time out to another x ray. They also take care credit which is a plus. The secretary looked up some places that can do my crown too. Very pleased with all of them. Clean. Professional, timely manner. I couldn't have asked for more. I would definetely recommend this Endodontist to Family and friends. Oh and by the way I read the other reviews one other excellent and one a bad review. Well for one I can not imagine any one putting a bad review on this wonderful place so I will say that sadly chc does refer low income patients like ME to this dentist and I have seen a lot go in and out of chc looking like they are wasted or on drugs and just extremely rude to the staff and the dentists and then these crazies go around threatening to write bad reviews on people and their businesses and they do. Its very sad. So now there is two excellent reviews you can go with. It sounds like that person is one of those people I am talking about. Again this place was 5 stars and I am a picky person. read more

I recently was referred to Nova Endodontics for a root canal procedure. One of the girls in the front was incredibly rude (not acknowledging me for a good 7 minutes after I walked in as a new patient) and Mr. Marccum was a character as well. He doesn't have the best bedside manner (cussing within the first 5 minutes of meeting him) and liked to talk a lot about his personal life. I was okay with that because it just seemed to be his type of personality. Either way, he said I needed a root canal and with that he began. The whole procedure he may as well have been doing it with his eyes shut. This was so standard for him he hardly seemed focused at all. He was filing my roots and talking about his new puppy, singing, saying what an old hag Faith Hill is, blah, blah, blah. Then, after the procedure he said, "all done...oh and by the way...a piece of my instrument broke off in your tooth and I went ahead and just left it there and filled in around it. It may or may not get infected. If it does, we'll need surgery to remove it and if it doesn't, well then you'll just have that in there". He said, "why do another procedure if we don't know we have to yet". Then off he went to his next root canal, while I was left stunned and questioning the assistant. Is this common? It doesn't seem right? They then let me know they do complimentary X-rays in a year to see how it's all coming along. I had to pay and out I go. No post or pre-op information on what to expect or anything. My tooth was still in pain and before I went to get a crown I wanted to get Dr. Marccum's work evaluated. I changed my dentist completely (because I felt I couldn't trust who did my canal or my dentist who referred me to Marccum to get a root canal (see review on PR Dental Care)) and my new dentist was appalled at the fact this occurred and was made to believe it was normal. I am seeing another Endodontist about the treatment of my tooth with a piece of a stainless steel tool in it (which may now involve an extraction). I will write an updated review as I learn more about what needs to be done to fix Dr. Marccum's mistake. read more
