First off, everything mentioned below happened over a year ago now, so I have had time to ruminate on it. The only reason for 2 stars is the dental assistances are AMAZING. Super friendly, caring, knowledgably, just generally made me feel very comfortable.
Okay - now Dr. Kochevar. He does not care about you. You are simply another number to him, another day at the office. He's friendly, but it's fake. I had 3 (yes THREE) root canal procedures done on the same tooth by Dr. Kochevar because the first time he missed a canal, then when he went back in he couldn't reach it because the tooth calcified. While I understand this happens sometimes and it wasn't (completely) his fault, he literally gave me the. exact. same. speech before each procedure. Like it wasn't my 2/3 time having this done by him. Like it wasn't unfortunate for my tooth. Maybe 'cold' is the word I'm looking for? He simply does not care about you at all.
I had another root canal done at a different place and the experience was so different and so much better.
I would NOT recommend Dr. Kochevar to anyone, unless you really have no other options. Go somewhere else. read more
