Not that you want to get a root canal during a pandemic but if your tooth is in excruciating pain Dr.Blumenkranz is definitely recommended. The process is not as fun as describing a new restaurant but at least you can watch TV on the ceiling! read more

Dr. Blumenkranz has seen me during the pandemic - so I have been extremely grateful for that. I am having a 6-year-old root canal fixed and even if we were not in a pandemic, my anxiety level about this procedure (or procedureS in my case) would have been pretty high ... and with the added stress of social isolation and having to continue to work at a hospital where many staff and patients have tested positive, my anxiety was through the roof. I have felt very safe throughout my visits though because Dr. Blumenkranz has told me what to expect -- whether it be the level of noise or vibration of the drill. While I still consider these appointments as a kind of torture, it has not been as painful as I anticipated and the level of trust I have in him has TRULY lowered my anxiety level to as low as can be expected in the time of Covid. read more

He is as good as it gets.Went last week for a root canal. Felt no pain during the procedure. He tells you up front if you feel discomfort let him know. Today I went back for my follow up. Everything went well. He has a great sense of humor so for me to be smiling and giving him thumbs during a procedure speaks to his expertise. One of the best Dentist in DC. Lisa Mckenzie read more

I have read numerous positive reviews of Dr. Blumenkranz and must admit to being totally confused. The Doctor my son saw must have been Blumenkranz's evil twin. We found him to be condescending, completely unsympathetic to my son's pain as he continued w/the procedure as tears ran down my son's face. Is there some shortage of novocaine the public is unaware of? When told that everything he was doing could be felt Doc responded with the heartwarming response of "This is the darker side of dentistry." Oh and my son had a severe infection by that tooth. He was referred to Blumenkranz after a failed root canal attempt from his dentist. Why was a root canal even started? Awesome question! Had I been there would NOT have happened! After the 1st appointment with Blumenkranz resulted in increasing excruciating pain we decided the tooth should be extracted as my son had missed 2 weeks of college behind this madness. Told Blumenkranz of the decision but insisted my son come. Once there he decided to share he doesn't do extractions AFTER he began tinkering with the tooth with the bs that the pain would be relieved until the extraction... this time sans novocaine. You can guess how that ended. I will stop my tale here as the shenanigans continued. By now my son was chewing Percocets like candy. Ultimately we found an awesome surgeon, pain specialist who novocained him until the whole side of his face was numb. Tooth extracted with the quickness! Now back to college to make up all this work. If S&M is your thing then Dr. B is indeed your man! Note that I hit 1 star in error. If negative ratings were an option I'd be all over it! read more

You wont find a better or more skilled Endodonist in DC than Dr. Blumencranz!. He's skilled, patient, meticulous and kind. It's the third one he's done for me (3 different teeth) over a 15 year period, and ZERO problems. Look no further! Steve G. SW DC read more

I was in a lot of pain and needed a root canal immediately. Dr. Uziel magically made the pain to go away while performed the partial root canal. I came back for a second visit to finish the work. I'm very happy with the results. His receptionist Ms. Julia was super helpful and very pleasant to interact with. I highly recommend Dr. Uziel if you ever need an endodontist for a root canal. One Happy Patient Here! read more

Fantastic! I had to have a root canal in the process of other dental work and Dr. Blumenkranz was very personable and perofessional (so much so that I hardly remember the root canal at all). It was done easily, professionally, and quickly and the staff works with you to get the earliest possible date to fit your schedule. Bottom line: I'd like to stear clear of tooth aches (painful, I tell you), but being in Dr. Blumenkranz's hands makes a painful situation that much easier to handle. If you need special dental work done, do not hesitate to see this man. read more

2 weeks later after I treated a deep cavity, I woke up at 2.30amET with an excruciating pain in my molar, and I knew what was next: root canal. Having previously done 2 root canals to molars, I was afraid of the procedure. After a lot of research on the best experts in town, I came across Dr Uziel's name. He is #3 in town. I read all of the reviews, the good & bad ones, and I felt confident going in. I did a root canal to a molar and it took 3 sessions. Let me share a couple of aspects about my experience that help me to give this 5 STAR RATING: 1. I called at 8.30amET to his office and they took me in as an emergency at 11.30amET on the same day. 2. I got there in pain, I was shacking (literally). He calmed me down, did his exams and I collaborated (guys, he deserves a medal for this.) 3. I had exceed my dental allowed benefit and I was asked to pay $800 up front (max'ed my allowed dental benefit). I didnt hesitate. Dental school is expensive. Root canals require a special skill set. (Let me share this with you. I did 4 root canals up to date. My 2nd root canal was not successful and the root broke. I had to extract it. Today more than ever, I understand the importance of doing this procedure with someone who is trained on this area. It's your teeth!) 4. Throughout my treatment I felt some punctual discomfort. I jumped several times. He calmly continued his treatment. My posture didnt bother him or made him act differently towards me. Patients are not all the same. He adapts. 5. We also figured out that I had max'ed out my dental allowed benefit and he offered me a discounted in-network rate so that I could get treatment using a affordable rate. One week after he started on this particular molar, I started to feel pain on another molar that I had been treated for a deep cavity before. EMERGENCY #2. Dr. Uziel looked at it, and said "I do root canals for living and that's how I make money. I would like to make money now but you dont need a root canal. And here's the issue..." Coming from an European country, where we have state run healthcare and health professionals are always focused to focus on the well being of the patient, versus the US, where I think it's everything is in my humble opinion very rushed, I felt that I got the care that I deserve and we all pay for in the states. Hence, 5 stars for Dr Uziel! read more

Dr. Blumenkranz is a good dentist. He did a good job on my root canal for me and I had some seriously bad experiences with dentists before him. I had almost no pain at all (just some soreness) from my root canal and he was really flexible with appt times. His staff is also great. Blumenkranz has a funny but off beat sense of humor. I think a lot of what the bad review on here said has to do with misinterpreting his humor. He stays late some nights to work on patients and says things like, "Those crazy insurance companies send me so many people. I'm going to be the richest dentist the graveyard." He makes fun of his staff sometimes and says things like, "I don't care what you say. I'm the dentist." He is joking however. One complaint I have is that I had a bad experience with the dentist I went to before him that told me I needed a root canal (Dr. Michael Landy). I told Blumenkranz that I thought Landy was a crook and wanted him to refer me to another dentist I could go to for my crown. He was very evasive and dismissive. His assistant told me that there is a kind of doctor's code where they don't talk badly about other doctor's and that it would be considered a no-no for him to give me a referral. So that was annoying but he himself is a great dentist. read more

I'm giving Dr. B. four stars instead of five because root canals suck--which is totally not his fault, of course. In fact, of the three r.c.'s that I've had. Dr. B.'s was far and away the best. He'd warn me before he did something (e.g. novacaime): "This will be uncomfortable," and I would steel myself-- and then feel nothing. There's a big tv hanging from the ceiling with closed captioning to occupy yourself with--I learned more about today's New York presidential primary than I cared to know. The doctor is a bit idiosyncratic, but, Bro, he really knows his $#/@. read more

Three words I never thought I'd say: Painless root canal! Dr. Blumenkranz is highly skilled with a very comforting "bedside" manner. I went to him because of his extensive experience. He informs you in detail of the procedures and is reassuring in his approach. His staff is also on the ball and quick in assisting him. I highly recommend the services of Dr. Blumenkrantz! read more

I knew I liked Dr. Blumenkranz when there was absolutely no pain when he gave me the novacaine. Everyone I dealt with in his office was friendly and efficient - front desk and dental assistants. For those reasons alone, I wanted to review him on here and spread the word about my good experience. Then it got even better, and he completely won my loyalty on my second visit to his office. I came to Dr. Blumenkranz because I have some complicated issues with a couple of my teeth. My situation is not easy. Dr. Blumenkranz was clearly determined to do a great job. It's clear he is experienced and knows what he is doing. He took extra time -- actually cancelling his lunch -- in order to take care of me. And he kept me distracted with stories and comments to help pass the time. I can't express how grateful I am and how fortunate I feel to have found him. read more

My primary dentist required that I go in for an opinion about whether or not I needed root canal surgery before he would simply refill old filling. What a relief, Uziel was honest about me not needing root canal work at this time. read more

I am a very wealthy man. Dental health is very important to me. I visit a general dentist every six months. I brush my teeth five times every day. I do not want to experience the horror of dental problems. Two years ago Uziel Blumenkranz performed a root canal procedure on my number 31 tooth. The outcome was perfect. Recently, Uziel performed a root canal procedure on my number 19 tooth. The outcome is perfect. Second to my home, my most valuable possession is the business card of Uziel Blumenkranz. read more

I came to get my root canal retreated and Dr. Blumenkranz and his staff did a great job to help me: from scheduling appointments to actual dental work. I was scared for it to hurt but it didn't. The procedure of canal retreatment is not pleasant but I was put at ease, got answers to my questions and my tooth was fixed. Dr. Blumenkrantz was meticulous, caring and perfectionistic with his work. I highly recommend him. read more

I was in a lot of pain before I came to Dr. Blumenkranz- I desperately needed a root canal. Dr. Blumenkranz's receptionist made me feel right at home before I even came to the office and was a huge help. On the day of my appointment, Dr. Blumenkranz and his assistant walked me through the process and explained everything. The two day process was extremely painful, I won't lie, but the staff here calmed me down and helped me get through it. Now, a couple weeks later, I'm as good as new and can actually use the right side of my mouth! Thanks so much! read more

Feels strange to give a 5 star review for a root canal, but Dr. Blumenkranz deserves it. As others have noted, he does have an offbeat sense of humor and him and his assistant definitely have a slightly antagonistic relationship, but at no point did it make me uncomfortable or go too far. It was the most painless dental experience I've ever had. It was a pretty intense root canal and it was less painful than many fillings I have gotten. Several times, the doctor said things like "this is going to hurt" and "you're not going to like me for this" -- but I never felt any pain. I would highly, highly recommend Dr. Blumenkranz if you don't mind a little offbeat humor. read more

Stellar/impeccable/dare I say enjoyable experience! I came in nervous, with a hole in molar. I leave comforted knowing I had the utmost professional care by the utmost professional and knowledgeable and exceptional team at Dr. Blumenkranz's office, and canals now filled. read more

I was having great pain and Dr. Blumenkranz managed to see me with two days notice. My tooth was infected and needed a root canal asap - he got me the root canal the next day. My dentist said he did an amazing job keeping most of the tooth intact. Since I was travelling, I couldn't get a crown from my dentist right away and he even filled it in with a build up to hold it together - something most endodontists don't do. He uses local anesthetic, but does not put patients under. If you need to be asleep during the operation, you'll probably need to go somewhere else. read more

The absolute most appalling doctor's appointment I have ever had (and overall most outrageously unprofessional experience I have had, bar none). Late last week I went to get a root canal from Doctor Blumenkranz. This root canal took around 2 or so hours, from start to finish. The entire two hours was full of the most outrageous and shocking behavior, and will list them out chronologically. Please note that during a root canal, you are not able to talk: 1.) The doctor and his dental hygienist chose to engage in a very controversial topic (regarding Bruce Jenner's transformation to Caitlyn Jenner) while cleaning my teeth. During this conversation, the doctor called her a "bigot" multiple times. In front of me, while performing this root canal. They both also chose to discuss there beliefs and opinions about this transformation-again, a terrible topic to discuss in front of a patient, regardless of the belief. Additionally, who calls their assistant a bigot? And in front of a patient? -She asked for an apology multiple times, and then in a mocking voice, he waved his hand at her in a dismissive way and said "apologies, apologies." 2.) Then, they proceeded to discuss the topic of Bill Cosby. The hygenist stated "who are we to judge? Why is his sin of rape worse than any of our sins?" The doctor than laughed, and said "it takes two." Again, regardless of one's belief, a TERRIBLE time to be discussing this topic. He also laughed and said to her, "Oh, am I sexually discriminating against you?" 3.) The hygienist said: "doctor, my husband said if every man could, he would have 5 wives to love and sleep with him, is that true?." The doctor then said "well, yes. If I could have a young blonde to sleep with me everyday, than I would." -side note, I am blonde, and significantly younger than the doctor. Can you imagine how uncomfortable this statement was for me? Day 2: I had to go back the next day for the second half of the root canal process. Thankfully, there were no inappropriate comments made during the procedure. HOWEVER, after the procedure, while the doctor was writing my prescription for follow-up medicine, he said to me: "You know, Ms. Dixon-with that whole Bill Cosby thing-it takes two to tango." I told him I did not want to engage in conversation about this, but he persisted. To ensure I knew exactly what he was talking about, I asked "Are you speaking about rape?" And he said "yes, women are also involved in the situation. Quaaludes are not strong enough to REALLY prevent women from being persuaded into sex, I was given 500 samples of them during medical school, and they did not do anything to me!" I told him how factually wrong that is, and how offensive he was to women, and men who have been raped. Then, one of the front desk associates asked "oh dear, have you been a victim of rape?" And I said "no, but I am a human-I have compassion. Being drugged is not a tango-it is being taken advantage of." The doctor looked upset and apologized for "offending" and then walked away. The front desk associate apologized, however, neither front desk associates looked surprised, shocked, or confused in any way during this apology. This man has access to sedatives and very strong painkillers-it is truly shocking and upsetting to see a person like this with access to such goods. AVOID AT ALL COSTS, please. read more

"Off beat sense of humor" as one reviewer stated, but I would conclude this is more of a euphemism. I knew this coming into my consultation visit, and it was still a bit too much for me. So much so that I didn't go back. I found someone else since I was so uncomfortable with my interaction with Dr B. I was hesitant to even write this review given all the raves below, but given my experience was different from everyone else, I had to pipe in...good luck in your search! read more

I came here to get my root canal retreated. On the day of my retreatment, I felt uncomfortable because I could barely breathe through the rubber dam. Instead of trying to help me or put me at ease, Dr. Blumenkranz became frustrated and told me he would not treat me and to find another endodontist. He also laughed when he called my dentist to let him know what happened while I stood there in tears. When I had a consultation with a new endodontist a few weeks later, I told her about my negative experience and she immediately knew I was talking about Dr. Blumenkranz without me saying his name. I think that speaks volumes of his reputation and lack of bedside manner. I would not recommend this office. read more

I was referred by general dentist and called to make an appointment but the staff told me I should get another xray again regardless of copy of xray on the same tooth from the general dental office in addition to consultation fee of $240 because all the root nerve ending is not usually visible and xray at general dental office does not usually take good xray. First off, my general dentist never sent the xray and she has not seen it. I told her I don't need another "special" xray and I just don't unnecessary special xray as she called it. Okay, there's no such thing as special xray if it just plain film. It's just different views or panoramic. there's no "special" xray. Then, this staff lady sounded annoyed and asked me "are you going to make an appointment or not?" I said hesitantly okay. She then said she will make a note I refused the xray. I'm thinking 'Umm. that's not what I meant. I would only refuse xray if it is unncessary and she has not explained the clear indication of another xray besides "special" xray. I later canceled the appointment because I didn't like the staff. I have seen many dental staffs / dentists ordering unnecessary xray to charge patient for their business. Just be careful. I recently had my L wisdom tooth out but still was asked for panoramic view of xray for additional 150 bucks. I argued that panoramic xray isn't necessary for one tooth extraction. They can just reposition the view and re-xray. It worked. saved 150 bucks. read more

Had some tooth pain after a filing and assumed I needed a root canal. Went to this doctor and he was nice (but sort of peculiar in a way I can't explain). He said I needed a root canal. There were 2 things about what he said that gave me red flags: 1. He said he performs root canals in 2 different appointments. 2. He said that I had to get a crown. I talked to several friends and family members with root canals and all of them had theirs done in 1 sitting. Some of them had crowns and some of them did not. Going to the dentist is bad enough, I don't want procedures drawn out nor do I want to take extra time off of work unless it is absolutely necessary and by necessary, I don't mean for the doctor's practice, I mean for my health. I called his office and asked if he could perform the root canal in 1 sitting, and the receptionist said no, he always divides it up so I canceled my appointment. Must have been a blessing in disguise because it forced me to get another opinion and turns out, I don't need a root canal and my tooth is fine. I am not saying that this dentist was wrong, and I am sure that he has a great technique based on other reviews, but I think he's gotten to the point in his career where he just churns out root canals for everyone that walks through his door and as a doctor, you are supposed to take an individualized approach for each patient. I am glad to see so many people are pleased with his work because good dentists are hard to find but I don't like how he makes patients undergo 2 sittings. read more

I am a big fan of Dr. Blumenkranz. I was terrified to get a root canal but I unfortunately needed two of them this last month. Dr. Blumenkranz did them both painlessly. He's a bit quirky, but in a good way - he can be a little surly at times with his receptionist, but it's actually just sort of comic relief and rather amusing. I genuinely liked him and the experience was actually kind of pleasant. Never thought I'd say that about a root canal! I found him to be very knowledgeable and honest. I didn't even need to take painkillers after the procedure. I will issue a suggestion: you should try to book him earlier in the day because he can get slammed later. The first of my two root canals, which began in the late afternoon (I think it started around 4:00, and probably because of that convenient after-work time he had a packed office), took over 2.5 hours because he had to keep leaving to deal with other patients. The second, which began at noon, only took an hour because he stayed with me the whole time. So book early if you can. Now if only I could find a good primary care dentist who accepts my crappy Aetna DMO insurance (which, by the way, Dr. Blumenkranz takes!).... read more

Outstanding, utterly pain-free root canal. First time with Dr. Blumenkranz, on referral from in-plan insurance dentist (Dr. B. also in-plan). Old school doctor, been at it awhile, good chairside manner, fluent Spanish FWIW. Passed my dental phobia test with painless Novocaine (deadening) injections. WETA classical radio in the background, TV imbedded in ceiling to watch during pain-free procedure, and men's room key waiting at the window when I left (nice touch after being in the chair for an hour and a half). Support staff pleasant and efficient. Payment at time of service based on anticipated insurance reimbursement. If you've got to get a root canal, get it done here. He's a pro. read more

Dr. Blumenkranz and his staff are very professional and at the same time personable. I was sent to him by my regular dentist for a root canal. At the consultation, I was informed that it may take two visits to complete the root canal. This caused me to be a little skeptical, as I've generally known them to take only one visit. However, the thoroughness that Dr. Blumenkranz was suggesting was appreciated. I was set up for an appointment the next morning and given two prescriptions to fill and begin taking (Antibiotics and Anti-Inflammatory). During the procedure, Dr. Blumenkranz found there to be no reason for a second visit and was able to complete it all then. He was very communicative throughout the process, both in terms of telling me what exactly he was doing and what he needed me to do to aide him, as well as filling the spare time with anecdotes. All of it was welcomed. read more

Dr. Blumenkranz and his staff did an excellent job on my root canal. I was squeezed in quickly for an appointment. I even accidentally showed up early for my appointment and they got me in two hours before my scheduled appointment rather than sending me away. Dr. Blumenkranz and his assistant are highly professional and my root canal went off without any issues. Usually, I get pain in my mouth from numbing shots and other treatment, but I had no such problems with Dr. Blumenkranz. Everything went smoothly. I highly recommend him and I question some of these negative posts based on my own experience. read more

I just finished my root canal therapy yesterday with Dr. Blumenkranz or Dr. Uzy as I call him (in my head). I was in a lot of pain when I came in for my initial consultation and before I left he made sure I had antibiotics and pain meds to help my condition. He and his staff were very personable, though not overly friendly. I had a tricky tooth with lots a canals and Dr. Blumenkranz took his time in my three step procedure to make sure everything was done right. It was obvious from his technique and my healing time that he is a seasoned pro. After the procedure was completed, I had very little pain and was pleased with the job he did. read more

Needed a check up on two root canals and a root canal + resection I recieved after an out of state bike accident. Despite the lack of a treatment relationship the Doc checked me out thoroughly and recommended a dentist who took my insurance. He called her personally so I could set it up. A+, I hope not to go back but I know where I'd go for future endo work. read more

Dr. Blumenkranz has magical hands! I had a severe infection in my front tooth that needed an intense root canal ASAP and Dr. Blumenkranz did the job without any pain or suffering. I went in extremely nervous as this was my first root canal and he had warned me that it was going to be a big one. Throughout the entire procedure he was making sure I was feeling comfortable and pre-warned me about anything he was doing that may cause discomfort. To my amazement, none of it was painful or discomforting at all! To make everything even better, he was humming/singing a song the entire time which really made me feel much more comforted! I walked out of my root canal appointment that day not needing a second appointment (common in most root canals) and had NO pain at all. I didn't need to use the prescribed pain killers and was good as new as soon as the numbness wore off. This dentist is a pro and knows what he is doing. Would highly recommend to anyone who is nervous and needs some serious dental work done. read more

Had a terrible experience with this office from the moment I made the appt. I was making an appt for a consultation to SEE if I needed a root canal. From the get go it's as if I was diagnosed sight unseen and I was given a plan for my visits, the procedure, etc. I was told by the receptionist that I needed new xrays despite having just had the questionable teeth xray-ed by my dentist. When I asked why she said well, in case they're not clear or can't be read. Uh, huh? A bit cart before the horse. At the office the xray tech said I needed new pics despite the dr not having seen the xrays from my dentist. When I asked why she said, "We're a different office." I like that kind of reasoning--not! Then the dr saw me and told me the wrong teeth had been xrayed by my dentist. So, three staff members of the office, three different reasons, all the same conclusion: WE need to take the xrays. If I were suspicious (and I am) I'd question any $$$ reasons behind this foregone and premature conclusion. Then the receptionists were just rude. Forget the good business edict of the customer being right or treated courteously. Condescendingly and rudely is more like it. By the time the dr agreed to get the additional xrays from my dentist I had had enough of the office. A little more courtesy and integrity would have made me stay. Finally, the bowl of chewy caramel and chocolate candy in the waiting room was a bad omen all by itself. Kind of like a cardiologist offering up a big bowl of fat or an allergist having an office cat. Not best foot forward for an endodontist's office I think. read more

I had a perplexing experience last year, and with a few months of reflection, I'm thinking I got scammed. While at a check-up with my dentist, she proclaimed that I needed a root canal IMMEDIATELY and proceeded to call Dr. Blumenkranz and schedule an appointment for the same day. I wasn't feeling any pain, but hey, she's the doctor, right? So if I need a root canal, good to get one right away, especially with one who takes my (crappy) insurance! I head over to his office for the first of ultimately 4 long, painful visits. The root canal itself was standard--painful, long (2+ hours in the chair) and arduous, but I've had worse. The issue started later that day after the Novocaine wore off and I had immense pain any time anything touched the temporary crown. I went back and he adjusted and gave me slightly stronger pain meds. Then the crown just came out. So, either the cement didn't dry, or it wasn't cemented properly, or something else. But I had to go back to get the temporary crown cemented before he could do the rest of the root canal (whatever the hell that was). Went back again for the last of the root canal and for more drugs because Jesus, it hurt. At this point I was billed $325. A few weeks later I check, and no claim was ever submitted to my insurance. They just took my $325 and didn't bother to bill the dental insurance company. I'm so confused. Why go to all that trouble for a lousy $325 from a client? That was hours of work (and tons of pain and taking time off of work and drugs for me) for a small payoff. Essentially, I'm pretty sure my dentist has an "agreement" going on with Dr. Blumenkrantz and sends unsuspecting patients for unnecessary dental procedures. SHADY. read more

I just had the best root canal of my life.... literally. Everyone there is so nice. This was my second attempt for a root canal on this tooth as the last endodontist left me in pain and tears. Dr. Blumenkranz is the best. I could not have imagined or expected a better experience. read more

Sadly, I am in the process of having my second root canal...my mouth and I have a love-hate relationship. However, Dr. Blumenkranz makes the process as painless and pleasant as possible so my experience hasn't been the nightmare that I thought it might be! I originally saw Dr. Blumenkranz for emergency dental surgery. He was very calm and friendly and even made a few jokes to ease my pain. He took care of the issue right away and made follow-up appointments so that the issue could be resolved as quickly as possible. His staff is very warm and welcoming, and I found everyone in the office to be professional and personable. I have been in the office in the last week and my opinion hasn't changed at all. In fact, I am even more confident in Dr. Blumenkranz's work. My mouth is VERY small and the tooth in question is all the way in the back of my mouth--it's a difficult case. But Dr. Blumenkranz has let me know each step so that I feel like a part of the process instead of just a numb mouth. He's also very sensitive to his patients' pain and responds to any discomfort immediately. I will continue to see Dr. Blumenkranz for my endodontic needs...though hopefully I won't have many more! read more

Got a root canal last week. It was very quick and easy to schedule, and the Dr did a solid job. I went to work directly from his office. Random note: I was his first visit in the morning, and he gave me his coffee," because I was tired, which was really above and beyond. I see some negative reviews about an older assistant being rude: I think she is gone now. The two assistants there were more then nice and professional. read more

I have never felt the need to review anything on yelp, but Dr. Blumenkranz deserved this one... Everyone told me how painful a root canal would be, so I was a bit anxious about having it done. Dr. Blumenkranz was FANTASTIC. It took 2 appointments, but each was less painful than a normal filling. I was expecting to be really uncomfortable after the novocaine wore off, but I felt good as new 2 hours after the visit. I would recommend Dr. Blumenkranz to anyone and everyone! read more

I really liked Dr. Blumenkranz. He warned me before my root canal retreatment that the tooth might not be saved. He clearly knew what he was doing, told me that patience was the key, and that it would take several repeated tries. He kept me posted on what was going on. Ultimately, the tooth could not be saved, but I'm glad I gave it a try with someone like Dr. Blumenkranz. I felt if he couldn't save it, no one could. He was a straight shooter. If I ever need a root canal or root canal retreatment, I will go to him. read more

Treatment was fine, Dr was ok. Front desk and business manager are a %^&! show. I would not recommend based off their lack of professionalism and compentancy alone. Save yourself the headache and go somewhere else. Or Dr, please hire more compentant staff. read more

Dr. Blumencranz is a skilled and devoted healer. He has treated me twice for abscessed teeth. The first time he treated me, the value of his meticulous care and return appointments in far exceeded the meager amount of money paid by my dental HMO, nonetheless he devoted much time to save my tooth without complaint. The second and most recent intervention, he treated me when I contacted him at 6am, when no other doctor would or could help me in my excruciating pain and provided much needed relief. If you have not met the good doctor, you will be pleased to find he is an elegant and interesting gentleman, a charming raconteur and an aficionado on many interesting subjects and will keep you distracted and engaged with pleasant banter while he works on your teeth and he always extends the greatest hospitality and professionalism when you visit. read more
