    Today I needed an emergency root canal and was seen by Dr. Pellicano. Dr. Pellicano made me feel…read moreat ease and explained the procedure every step of the way. He was very reassuring and will recommend him to anybody that needs endodontic services. He is a wonderful asset to Advanced Endodontic Associates.

    WARNING: This office had poor hygiene practices, a VERY dismissive Dr., & I'd read this review…read morecarefully before deciding whether to see this physician or go to this office. I had a deeply disappointing experience with Dr. Zohn & I feel compelled to share it. I don't care how experienced he is or that he's about 80; although I wish I had known that before my visit, as frankly, at his age, if he can't treat patients with the care they deserve, maybe it's time to retire!! I'm a cancer patient & came in for a follow-up after a procedure. After waiting about 30 minutes, I politely asked if the staff could wash their hands before examining me. Instead of addressing my concern, Dr. Zohn LITERALLY walked out & sent a staff member to place cotton in my mouth. After she finished, she said I was done & could leave. I was stunned. And not in a good way. I asked if Dr. Zohn could come back & examine my tooth? After all, that is why I went to the trouble of going to his office for my visit, & I still had concerns & have some discomfort. The young gal staff member incredulously goes next-door & in ear-shot, says that I "insist" on him seeing me. First of all, I never used those words! 2nd of all to say I "insist on a doctor seeing me" is kind of a farce, given that's the whole point of my appt! I went for a follow-up. Why should I have to even ask that the dr look at my teeth?! Geesh. Reality really is more absurd than fiction. It gets worse. He makes me wait about another hr, & I didn't leave his office for about 11/2 hrs. Meanwhile, a mom in the wait area explains how he convinced her daughter to undergo a 2nd procedure while I was left waiting. His prioritization of other patients over my needs felt EXTREMELY dismissive. Finally, Dr. Zohn came out & asked, "What can I do for you?" despite this being my follow-up appt. I wanted him to assess how my mouth was healing, but he seemed oblivious, suggesting I should come back in a month for a follow-up, but this WAS my one month follow-up!! I gently explained this (at this point I should've gotten an award for having the patience of a saint!) so when he finally did come back he touched my tooth for a millisecond, & if he spent 20 seconds with me, up to a full minute, there's no reason he couldn't do so prior to his surgeries. FYI, I did have a 2 PM appt. So why should I have to wait for over an hr to an hour & a half?! Oh, yeah, surgeries bring $'s Worse, I don't believe he even changed his gloves from the previous procedure before briefly touching my tooth & declaring it fine. I know this because he came out of the operating room w the gloves on, had no inclination or thought that he was going to bring me back to another exam room, until I asked him to do so, & even suggested I come back in another month. So he reluctantly went back with me to the exam room & I strongly believe he still had the same gloves on, & this after I already explained how I had cancer & hoped he would take safeguards like washing hands before touching me!! Being dismissive is bad enough. Making me wait an hour & a half is another thing. But if you don't change your gloves and/or wash hands between patients, ANY patient, but especially one with an immuno-compromised system, this is a Dr who should no longer be practicing medicine, regardless of lifetime skill!!! That is just negligence. I don't know the legal definition but generally speaking, it is negligent behavior. I don't know the skill of any of his colleague physicians, but this reflects badly on the whole office. I even suggested to the office manager that if Dr. Zohn not comfortable with follow-ups, maybe he should ask one of his colleagues to do that on his behalf. She said that the physicians don't do that. OK. Well this doctor didn't do his due diligence; hence posting this review warning others. Again, he may be skilled. I will acknowledge that my pain level has decreased significantly since the procedure but in itself, that is insufficient. I needed this person to treat me like a human, and actually check on my mouth in a timely and good & hygienic manner. It's great that he was using Hebrew/Yiddish terms with who I believe to be his Orthodox patient. I too am Jewish, so I almost felt like I should say that to him because they were getting absolute preferred treatment. (I am not Orthodox, however). But all patients should be treated the same regardless of their religious proclivities. As a patient who had kept every appt, paid on time, in full, and even brought him a thank-you gift, I expected better treatment. The lack of awareness regarding hygiene protocols in this day and age is EXTREMELY alarming, especially with viruses circulating. Overall, the care I received was unacceptable. The way a physician treats their patients matters, and dismissiveness can overshadow even the best skills. I hope my experience can save someone else from a similar fate. If you're considering this office, proceed with caution

    I was looking for a new dentist after my current dentist stopped taking my insurance. Oakwood…read moredental arts seemed like the perfect choice; they were local. they took my insurance, and for check ups and cleanings, my out-of-pocket was absolutely nothing. They also have some pretty high-tech equipment, so it seemed a no-brainer. I made an appointment. They saw me promptly. They did a full set of x-rays. The technician could not have been more gracious and he did a terrific job cleaning my teeth. In fact, the entire staff was absolutely wonderful, until the dentist arrived. First of all he was wearing these magnifying glasses that prevent you from being able to see his eyes, which was offputting. The moment he walked in (he may or may not have introduced himself, I really don't recall) he went straight to the x-rays, announced I needed a root canal and a crown, took a quick look in my mouth and walked out. Now, I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt; he is probably overworked and I'm sure they don't have nearly enough dentists for all their patients. However, I'll be damned if I let someone who spent absolutely no time with me, make such a significant diagnosis so casually. It was time for a second opinion. I took a picture of the x-ray on my cell phone and met with my old dentist. He told me no problem he could fill it and I didn't need a root Canal. Needless to say, I am back with my old dentist and could not be happier. I don't care if I have to go 100% out-of-pocket. I'd rather have more teeth and a little less money than the other way around. And in this case, I have more teeth and more money so it's a win-win. If Oakwood dental arts suggest anything beyond a cleaning and x-rays, please do yourself a favor and get a second opinion from a local dentist who is willing to take the time to do what they can to save your teeth.
