After roughly 22 years, a root canal I had from a previous dentist failed. It was spotted on X-ray…read morefrom my current periodontist and cosmetic dentist roughly in 2013 however. They had watched it continuously yearly. It decided it was "not playing games anymore" and I knew it was infected. I went to urgent care and all the doctor had to do was look at my gums near that tooth to know there was an issue. She prescribed Augmentin. As the tooth had the root canal, I didn't have an idea an infection was there, until the day after Christmas. I couldn't bend down without it throbbing. I couldn't touch way up at the root area without it hurting, and because of where the tooth is located, I couldn't smile or laugh without pain. This Endo Group got me in ASAP so that Dr. Choi could look at it. X-rays were taken, and he confirmed that there was indeed an infection, and that the best option at this juncture would be a procedure in layman's terms, where they go into the gum and clean out all the diseased and infectious tissue, cut a small part of the tip of your root off, and then fill the top off so that nothing gets back down into the root. Dr. Choi did state that he doesn't preform this particular procedure and that only Dr. Nagel does, so they booked me with Dr. Nagel very quickly too considering this was all during the holidays for another consult. Dr. Nagel stated he could perform it after looking at my X-rays and the tooth, and conveyed to me that if I desired to get this tooth fixed more quickly, he worked mostly out of the Framingham office. (I did meet with him and Dr. Choi originally in Milford) When I asked the scheduling department what they could do, luckily for me someone canceled, and I could have the procedure done the day after I saw Dr. Nagel, but in Framingham. The procedure was painless as Dr. Nagel knows exactly how much local is needed, & I felt nothing. The procedure was also extremely quick. You're booked for an hour, but most of that is simply prep (numbing) and it felt like he wasn't in my mouth that long. When we did speak during consult, I did convey to him, that I am the type of individual that doesn't desire a play by play of what someone is doing in my mouth as I suffer from panic attacks. He stated he would only tell me when he needed to leave to take X-rays, which made me feel better. He also asked me NUMEROUS times how I was doing. So he not only performed a pain free surgical procedure, but he made sure that you were doing well every step of the way. They even gave you a blanket if you felt cold. There was ZERO bleeding afterwards because of the cauterizing he did as well. So you're not walking out with a whole bunch of gauze. Or blood all over your lips. He prescribed Amoxicillin, a prescription mouth wash, and I don't like pain killers, so he gave me 800 ibuprofen which you don't even need to take much of it. I'm on day 5 of healing, and I think I took 1 for three days. Not the 2 as I didn't need it. It's healing outside of the gum wonderfully. You wouldn't know he did anything to you. He did inform me on what to expect. I had no bruising which I was happy about (but he stated that could occur), minor swelling that has went down to almost nothing. He genuinely cares about his patients and their concerns. He listens attentively, and you will see that, as he's performing your procedure (whether it's a root canal, or an apic that I had performed) that he listens to all your fears and makes sure you are doing wonderfully every step of the way. He's excellent in post op care instructions, so you know exactly what to expect and what you can and can't do. If I ever need another root canal or this particular procedure, I would not hesitate to book him in a heartbeat. Thank you Dr. Nagel for being an exceptional doctor. It is appreciated more than you'll ever know.

THE MICHAEL JORDAN OF ENDODONTISTS!…read more Believe it or not, I am about to sing the praises of an endodontist! No reason to be nervous about a root canal, especially if you have a good dentist. I was actually looking forward to having mine! Why? Because I was in a lot of pain for a few weeks BEFORE having the procedure... I wanted it to stop! After some research on the web, I chose Dr. Aboushala based on his stellar reviews and credentials... and I'm so glad I did. Firstly, Dr. Aboushala is all about doing everything he can to save your tooth... I like that. I had a very large area of infection (hence the pain) and he affirmed that a root canal would be the right procedure. He did an amazing job... absolutely no pain. I've had a few root canals before, but this doctor is in his own league. He has a wonderful caring demeanor and explains everything he is doing. He is very deliberate and checks everything along the way in an exacting manor. He takes the time to make sure that everything he is doing is perfect. As the procedure advanced, his professionalism gave me the confidence that I would have a successful outcome. And I did! I was finished with the procedure around 12n and my tooth already felt so much better that night. I could eat soft foods with no problem, and pretty much anything I wanted a couple days later. I was ecstatic! After returning to the doctor's office for a check on it, everything was in good shape, as I expected. If you need a root canal, I can't recommend Dr. Aboushala more highly. He's quite special and I'm so glad I found him. I'm thinking of moving to Florida soon, but if I need a root canal in the future I will no doubt fly back to Boston to see this amazing man who does fantastic work and genuinely cares about his patients.

From my first interaction with the office, I was relieved and pleasantly surprised by how flexible…read moreand understanding everyone was. I called on a Thursday from a vacation because my dentist recommended a root canal ASAP. Dr. Aboushala's office was able to get me in first thing Monday morning. They explained how the insurance worked and took all my information so there wasn't much to do when I got there. Once confirmed that I did need a root canal, Dr. Aboushala said he could do it right then and was very gentle, explaining everything along the way. One thing I was concerned about was the discomfort of having your mouth open for so long, but he kept providing frequent breaks, which really made a difference. They explained clearly post-procedure instructions and worked with me to adjust them so they were right for me. The follow-up the next day was the icing on the cake. So while no one ever wants a root canal, if you have to have one, Dr. Aboushala and his office make it as easy as possible and I highly recommend them.

A couple of years later I tried again, but this 2nd doctor told me that its root has fractured, so nothing can be done but to extract (which wasn't true as Dr. Johnston told me it's not at first glance...). Although it gave me a constant anxiety for about a year I'm so glad that I kept it and decided to see Dr. Johnston one last time. 3rd time's a charm and it's saved! Hooray!!!!

The Doctor also told me that before anyone needs a crown they should always get a root cannel, which is a total lie. I do not have insurance so the office kept calling and reminding me that it was $2,100 . I said "well what if there is nothing wrong, why are you saying that I need a root cannel when I have not even been seen." Their response, " well we have time set aside." I felt like no matter what, they were going to perform the procedure. Then she also said it was infected and the reason it was not hurting is because I was on antibiotics. Then after the procedure she said it is not infected because it was still alive "but on its way out (dyeing)", based on a slight pain when she did the hot test. I barley had time to think. She jacked me with so much Novocain that my face was swollen (they told me it was not when I left) another lie!!! My face and jaw were totally numb from 2:00 P.M. until After 10:00 P.M. I called their number, left a message no return call until the next day. It is how 27 hours later and my jaw all the way down my neck is hurting. In addition she was so rough resting her hand on my jaw putting pressure on my joints. I told her that I have TJM her response, "well there is nothing I can do about that." I have had 3 other root cannels, 3 implants, and 4 crowns, I know the difference. She is very rough, abrasive, lies, and not concerned when I said I was dizzy and unable to drive. They had no concern. I am a special education teacher, and I would give the doctor a F, and my overall experience a F - Do not go there. shame on me for going without doing my homework. she did not get great reviews. Hopefully this will help others from this horrible experience not to mention the uncaring, demoralizing attitude.

I felt safer here than at any other of the doctor or dentist offices I had to go to. When the temporary bridge from my dentist fell apart and he was away on vacation, Dr. Ollerhead told me to come back and he patched it up with bonding or temp cement. He did not have to do that, he is an endodontist, not a regular dentist, and I am very THANKFUL. In fact, he patched it up so well, the dentist did not have to redo the temporary (This was the second one the dentist had done because the first came off). THANK YOU DR OLLERHEAD for the great root canal and for helping me out with the bridge. I highly recommend if you need a root canal go to Dr. Ollerhead.

The are now owned by 42 North Dental Care, PLLC practice and this company is owned and operated by dentists Dr. Samuel Shames, DMD. and Dr. Ronald Weissman, DMD. Since they took over all the former dentists are gone and last I knew most of the staff had left. They put crowns on three on implants I had done at an oral surgeons office in December 2023. Last week, 18 months later they sent me a huge bill. A week later I got an automated call asking for me to pay over $2500 right then. This is just one of the most absurd situations I have every been in with a dental office. The doctor that did the crowns, Dr Pabaney, was the worst dentist I have ever had. I only went to them because I was with the practice when I first stared the implant process. Not only was it a total nightmare just getting them to call me back to get an appointment but his chairside miner was rude, he had THE WORST BREATHE OF ANYONE I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED and he is supposedly a dentist. Even his dental assistant knew he smelled, the look on her face was a look of horror, even she couldn't take it. Since I've moved to the area there are so many other dentists office that you have to go anyplace else. Also, look for who the owners are, if they have anything to do with 42 North Dental Care, PLLC stay away.

HORRIBLE. Went to Northborough Dental for 19 years and always had such great care from Dr. Howells…read more He was an amazing Dentist! Dr. Pabeny, I hate even referring to him as "Dr.", took the practice over and is an absolute SLEAZE who lacks professional morality. The Hippoocratic Oath he took when becoming a dentist meant nothing to him. He damaged one of my four crowns and downright lied to my face and was backpedaling on his story when I called him out on it face-to-face. I have never met a medical professional who could look a client/patient in the eyes and lie. Not to mention the note he doctored in an attempt to cover his butt when I brought up seeking legal assistance on the matter. When requesting for documentation and imaging he refused to send ANY documentation that I could then use to hold him accountable. He is an absolute sleaze who should rethink what type of professional he actually is...which he is NOT. Pabeny, you are a downright lying sleazebag. I can't emphasize the sleazebag more when referencing you!
