Access Endodontics

Dr. Paris, DDS* is an Endodontic Specialist, meaning some Dentists (DMDs*) will refer you to him,…read moreor someone in his field, if you require a certain procedure that your regular dentist isn't certified to perform. Just think of it like when your GP/PCP (Family Doctor) sends you to a specialist for a problem. Dr. Paris is a dental specialist - but I digress... *First off, the staff is extremely friendly, and you can really tell that they care, unlike so many other doctors and doctors' staffs have become. You can usually tell how your experience is going to be just by the attitude of the receptionist (gatekeeper). The receptionist at Access Endodontics is very friendly and up-beat. I always just assumed that the Lidocaine shot had to sting just so that the dentist would know that he/she had hit the nerve, and therefore it was time to inject. I know it was stupid of me to think that, but Dr. Paris did prove to me that this was a myth. His shots are painless. I know that many people hate going to the dentist's office, however, as far as they go, Access Endodontics deserves 5 out of 5 stars. With that stated, if you need an Endodontist, whether by referral or not, this choice is a no-brainer. I haven't been to either of the other two Endodontic Specialists in the area. I have heard good things about them, though. However, on a personal note, what I do know is that when I WAS IN A HELLUVA lot of pain, only Dr. Paris at Access Endodontics would adjust his schedule to see me that week, whereas one of the other Endodontists "[would] be able to see me in @2-3 weeks." They also told me that if my pain got any worse to make sure I go to the ED at the hospital. I said, "I didn't know ED doctors did root canals!!" Really - what good would spending a ton of money to go sit in an Emergency Room would have done, when I knew both the problem and the solution? Then I remembered something. Duh! They could not have cared less. Unfortunately, it gets harder and harder to find anyone in the entire medical field that truly cares anymore. I know there are so many healthcare workers out there that are amazing!! It's just hard to find you guys. I can literally count the good ones on one hand (out of all the doctors, nurses, therapists, etc., that I've met in the past 30+ years), and that's sad. But, I digress again... Doctors, in any field, are supposed to treat the patient, not the disease. This is probably why this is the longest Yelp comment ever. It feels good to write/talk/type positively about something/someone for a change. I'm sure that someone reading this has had horrific tooth pain at some point, so to all of you guys out there just know - he'll see you ASAP, and he's good. At what he does. That's ALL that matters when your face feels like it's about to fall off. Thanks guys!! I appreciate your reading my essay :-)

I have been a patient of Dr. Narde and Willow Point Dental for 8 years. I have always received good…read morecare and polite service. However, the office staff have evidently changed and are rude, disrespectful, and unprofessional. They failed to tell me I was now out-of-network and that they never know when they are with Anthem Blue Cross. I asked to speak to Dr. Narde or leave a message for him to call me at his convenience. I was told that I could not speak to him because they have a chain of command. I have never been told I could not speak to my medical provider. Lynette on his staff is the worst. I am finding another dentist immediately. Evidently, they do not treat people the way all the Bibles in the waiting room and wall mural say to treat people.
