Best root canal...EVER!!…read more And, I'll say this...I definitely want to be Dr. Sandra Shostad when I grow up [all the way]! I had an excellent experience at this endodontist. I wasn't in any pain, but I needed a root canal and this office is in-network for both my GEHA and Cigna dental insurance plans. The office is located on Main St. in Williamsville. You turn onto S. Long St. and you'll see that it's on the tail-end of the building. The signage isn't super obvious, so keep an eye out. And they do have parking spaces for you. Check-in was quick and simple. The front office (Lisa) had already called my general dentist to get the tooth and insurance information. So, I filled out a couple standard forms and was almost immediately called in to be seen. The root canal went perfectly, as far as I can tell. It was near painless during the procedure and I have yet to experience much discomfort afterwards. What more can you ask for? It did seem like my tooth presented a couple surprises and took awhile (as is typical), but Dr. Shostad kept me at ease the whole time. Her and her assistant (Jacky) have a great chemistry. I felt like I was getting a personal comedy show and it was hilarious...Dr. Shostad the comic and Jacky the straight man. Hey, hopefully you don't need an endodontist anytime soon...but, this is definitely the place to go if you do. :-)

I thought a filling would do however that was not to be the case. I have an EXTREMELY high tolerance to novocaine. After four attempts at numbing my lower gums my normal dentist conceded defeat. She suggested that I try Buffalo Oral Surgery and hopefully get sedated for an extraction. It was with heavy heart that I made my appointment. Today was the day. I had a female surgeon/dentist. In my angst over this procedure I didn't get her name. She sat and spoke to me about the anesthetic issue and then started shooting me up. It took her about four tries as well. She had me open my mouth and I assumed she was just checking to see if the local was working. She spoke to me about a number of things and then sat back and said the words I so longed to hear - "You are finished. The tooth is gone". YES! Other than my anxiety there was nothing to bother me. The actual extraction was perhaps a minute or two? It took longer for the local to kick in. Am I over my fear of sharp objects in my mouth? Not in this lifetime however I know now that procedures don't need to be painful to be effective.

When I told them I couldn't make a 3pm appt as I have to get my children they got an attitude over the phone and stated they tried to call several times. I wouldn't recommend this place. They can't commit to the dates and times they offer you. Rescheduling a reschedule they created when I already used time to take the day off of work.

Dr Fiorella has been my dentist for many years. I cannot imagine going to another dentist- he is…read morethorough, caring & highly skilled. Dr Vince has been my dentist for over 20 years and I've needed more dental work than I'm proud to admit, & he has always done an excellent job! I've never felt any pain or after effects from any work. His staff are excellent as well. I can't say enough to encourage you to utilize Hillview Dental for your needs. If you are someone who is not keen on going to the dentist, I promise you that you will have a change of heart. My Mom was always fearful of the dentist from past poor experiences as a child (why did they not use numbing agents, geez) but she has been going to Dr Fiorella for over 20 years now and has not a single worry since switching. He is a true professional and we are so grateful. If you want to have the best dental experience, become a client of Hillview Dental!

Surgeon is extremely rude and does not answer any questions you may have prior to the surgery. I have a heart condition so it was important for me to go in and ask questions as i needed clearance from the cardiologist to even get my wisdom teeth out. However the surgeon ignored them and pushed me out of the constellation. When getting my wisdom teeth removed i had anxiety- as any one does getting them out. He threaten to not do them for me and began packing his things out of the room to leave. LESS THAN 3 minutes of even taking me back there. I am only 23 and expressed multiple times i have anxiety which none of them seemed to believe. Every person there looked at me like i was crazy. I am so beyond relieved i will never have to go back to this place and I highly suggest looking elsewhere before booking with them!! It was not worth it at all.
