I've always heard of a root canal as being the benchmark for terrible experiences. You know, "l'd…read morerather have a root canal than do xyz." Well I saw Dr. Patmore today for a root canal procedure that my regular dentist couldn't do thanks to some complications. She put me at ease immediately. I could have fallen asleep had it not been for my phone going off constantly with work emails. Seriously, I've had more unpleasant haircuts. I don't aspire to need more root canals, but I wouldn't hesitate to return here if and when the situation arises again.

I just wanted to let everyone know that Dr.Patmore retired. I emailed her office to get a…read moreconsultation, and they called back and said a general dentist could do the consultation.

She did the root canal then, while I was still feeling no pain, my friend drove to to the dentist to get the crown impressions and everything else involving needles done. I don't remember a moment of discomfort. And, she's reasonable. Only place I would go for a root canal is Dr. Lawaty.

When I arrived I was made to wait I was told the doctor could not read the images from my dentist but I would be charged anyway + charged for new images When the doctor FINALLY came in I was informed this was only a consultation and NO PROCEDURE WOULD OCCUR although I had booked and waited for an EMERGENCY root canal that my surgeon has advised I need ASAP. This was not only an enormous waste of my valuable time and a huge disappointment, but my health is potentially compromised because this greedy doctor wanted me to pay for 2 visits instead of one.
