He asked many times if I was in pain when working on my fillings, and always took my concerns seriously, adjusting amounts of numbing agents and explaining why I may be still feeling discomfort (auxiliary nerves). I went here in desperation to fix fillings done poorly by a nearby dentist (Waukee Family Dentistry), and he did better than I could have hoped for. He knows his stuff, and cares about his clients and his work. I recommend setting up an appointment as early as possible, because he is usually booked out months in advance. :)

No fault to the dentist, I just have longer roots than the average human apparently. First of all, he was able to see me the same day. My past experiences with being referred to endodontist usually meant waiting another week or more before I could be seen. Dr Erickson and his team were able to get me numb enough to finish the root canal. I didn't feel any pain and they even gave me a blanket and some apple juice because I was cold and shaking from the additional numbing they did. Afterwards they provided after hours number in case I had any issues. I was able to text him and he would always respond promptly and put up with my constant worries and questions. Unfortunately I did have to go back and have an apicoectomy on the same tooth. Due to the complications from the initial root canal and my lovely long root! Now I've had countless work done on my mouth but this procedure scared me to death. The team there were very patient with me and put me at ease. I'm recovering from it now and so far everything is going good. It's definitely reassuring to know if I do have anymore problems that he will be there. I wish he was an oral surgeon. I'd go to him in a heartbeat to have implants done. If I ever do need anymore endodontic treatment, he is the only endodontist I'll go to as well as if any of my family will require it.

Price: I was referred by my dentist for a root canal after having intense pain in a tooth for a…read moreweek. When I went I knew exactly what tooth needed work, I was asked to make a payment up front before they billed my insurance. I just got a bill in the mail (almost three months after the date of service). I'm almost offended by this bill. The root canal in itself is a huge expense, add in the x-rays and we're already well over a grand. There is an extra $104 oral evaluation charge and random "service charges" added on that date several months after treatment. The examination charge would have seemed fine other than that I had maybe a 2 minute discussion where Dr. Schaeffer checked to make sure I did have the correct tooth, and then very quickly there were needles in my mouth and my treatment started. Care: I am a busy person. I work full time and was told by my dentist that she was "fast," so I was already appreciating that. I'm not a scared dental patient. I have had some work done before, but I honestly was so anxious and on edge during the treatment. I was actually in and out in less than 40 minutes with completely paperwork and paying. Her work was so fast and aggressive and she began working immediately after shooting me up with the numbing agent. It was a very uncomfortable experience. I have never felt like so much like a dollar sign than a patient. The good news is she seemed to do good work and I had no issues since then. I'm just not thankful for this obscene bill right before Christmas.

It was a very good experience as far as a root canal can be! However my recent visit left me in pain with many questions & furious. I paid over $400 for what turned in to a consultation in which I was diminished by Dr. Nashleanas. Condescending. He clearly judged me as not worthy of having teeth & obviously didn't care.

I generally just go for cleaning every 6 months and although I have some problems I'm hesitant to share and get the care I need. The hygienist doesn't clean the front of my teeth at all.

While the receptionist was polite, her concern was getting paid and the next step, and the next step and the next step. I just wanted this crown removed to see if the pain would stop, I was thinking I would make future plans after I had this done. Possibly remove other crowns and have them replaced. I just wanted to take things one step at a time. She decided to put me on hold to speak to the dentist. No one ever came back on the phone.

Well, that wasn't the case at all. I was walking out on my second appointment (out of three that I needed for a mouth guard). As I checked out, the receptionist informed me that I owed around $200 for my last two appointments, one being from when I was in high school and wasn't even paying my own dental bills. No one quoted me anything at those appointments. Wouldn't that send the message that I don't owe anything because of my insurance? I sat and cried in my car afterwards because I'm a college student and don't have extra to spend. I called to ask about it before my third appointment because I have not been quoted anything for my mouth guard at this point. The people in the office couldn't tell me what my bill was because there is only one person that can do that and they weren't in. Upon finally getting my mouth guard, I now owe around $500 and again, was not told how much it would cost in advance. Isn't that important to tell a patient before getting something done? I'm disappointed because they have always been great as a dental office. But, now I almost feel cheated for the lack of communication about what appointments and procedures cost and what will and won't come out of my insurance.

I went in to get a filling drilled out and a new one put in and I was numbed 3 separate occasions throughout the service.

My jaw and nerves were shot for more than a week from just a routine filling. After the fact when the bill came it was way over what we discussed and they admit that the bill they sent was wrong. Won't go back.
