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

The decor of the waiting room and office was unique and comfortable. I had a welcoming feeling the minute i walked in.

She made me feel comfortable, relaxed, and even made me laugh despite being in pain and fearing the worst. Although my situation was a difficult one to diagnose she was patient and made sure that she got to the bottom of it. She was thoughtful and thorough, explaining every part of the process to me. She made a difficult procedure seem routine and simple while keeping my mind at ease throughout. I can't say enough about Dr. Fonseca and her staff. They are truly the best!

Every person there was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful from start to finish. It is a clean and well-kept space. I lost a tiny part of my piercing preparing for the X-ray, and I didn't mind at all, but one of the staff members found it on the ground and cleaned it for me! Dr. Barunas did a fantastic job with the surgery and even called me a few hours afterwards to make sure I was okay. All four teeth were impacted, which had been causing me pretty severe jaw pain for about a year and a half. After my procedure, I have zero jaw pain! It's only been a month, but the difference has been life changing, and I'm very grateful :)

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.

Also, so many dentists seem brush my questions and concerns under the rug. I've seen bugs climbing around at another office. My mind is finally at peace here at Moorestown Smile Center. Dr Kahn is great. First time having a female dentist. She is patient and explains everything before she does anything. Her office is bright and clean and the rooms have big windows and a tv where you can watch something during your procedure to get your mind off things and make the experience go a little quicker. Only complaint is that today after I got done with my cleaning, they gave me a green tooth brush in my take home bag. I wanted a pink one :-/
