Subject: Feedback on Recent Root Canal Experience at South Jersey Endodontics…read more Dear South Jersey Endodontics Team, I recently experienced a severe toothache due to an infection in tooth #30 and visited my DMO-preferred dentist, Dr. Samir Patel, for advice. Although the tooth had no prior symptoms of infection, he recommended that I see an endodontist at South Jersey Endodontics. Having had a previous root canal procedure done by Dr. Steven Ryu with an excellent, pain-free experience, I requested to see him again. However, I was informed that he was unavailable, and instead, I was scheduled with Dr. Divya Trikannad, whom I had not worked with before. Upon my visit, an X-ray was taken, followed by a recommendation for a 360° CT scan, which I was told would provide better clarity for the procedure. I was informed that this scan was not covered by insurance and would cost $300 out-of-pocket. Although I agreed to proceed, I had never been required to undergo this scan in my past root canal treatments. Unfortunately, despite this additional imaging, my experience during and after the procedure was extremely painful, to the point where I had to take three days off from work to recover. I genuinely question the necessity of the 360° CT scan, as it did not seem to contribute to a smoother or less painful procedure. In my opinion, this additional step felt more like an unnecessary cost rather than a true benefit to patient care. Ultimately, I ended up paying more than what my insurance covered, and the experience did not meet my expectations. I sincerely urge your team to avoid imposing unwarranted procedures on patients, especially when experienced professionals in your practice have successfully handled similar cases without them in the past. Finally, I understand that reviews reflect individual experiences, and expectations can vary from person to person. It's often challenging to judge a service or practitioner based on a single review, as a collective opinion is usually more informative. My intention here is not to defame the practitioner or the group that provided my treatment, but rather to share my personal experience, which was significantly different from my previous root canal procedures--both with this group and elsewhere. Unfortunately, this particular incident severely impacted me during and after the procedure, unlike any I've had before. I encourage anyone reading my review to consider it as part of a broader perspective and to make informed decisions based on multiple viewpoints. Best regards, Kannan Varadachari

Dr. Kurtz was amazing!! She was very thorough and I felt nothing. I agree the wait time previously mentioned can be frustrating. But I think it should be noted that when you sit down for a procedure it's not guaranteed that it will be performed to completion at the time initially offered. The dentist isn't really a mind reader. They can tell you it will take a recommended amount of time, considered all things run smoothly and no adverse things occur. But I'm thankful for her expertise and will go back to her if needed in the future.

Where do I start? We were referred here 2021 and after months and months of waiting and back &…read moreforth between specialist and dentist, the endodontist finally worked on my teenage daughter's tooth. At our follow up appointment with our regular dentist, we discovered the endodontist worked on the wrong tooth! Yup, she performed a root canal on a perfectly healthy tooth! Neglected the other tooth and by the time we got her back in there to do the tooth that needed work it was too late to save it. Fast forward, here we are again referred to get a root canal retreat on a front tooth. After months of waiting for appointment for consult, they insisted dentist needed to remove cap in order to redo root canal. Back to dentist we go. Dentist insists there's no need, it would cost us out of pocket expenses ($700-) for new cap and that endo can do procedure through back of tooth without interruption to cap. Back to Endo, who proceeds to give attitude and give worry that it will crack and then she will have no tooth. We decide to proceed and take our chances. Surprise, they could do the procedure without ruining the cap! We waited over an hour to get called back. The hygienist/assistant was so nice and helped calm my daughter's angst. She said procedure should be 20-25 min. Endo comes in, daughter asked couple questions of what to expect, mentioning the assistants quote of 20-25 min timeline. He snapped and cockily said "no, if she thinks she can do it in that time then SHE can do the procedure herself". I had to bite my tongue, as I didn't want to give him reason to take it out on my daughter. More attitude. The guy is an arrogant jerk. Her dentist cannot do follow up to finish filling now until they send x-ray for them to submit to insurance co. It's been a week, and I have called numerous times... no answer. This place is a joke and unprofessional. If there are other options in your insurance network- go somewhere else.
