So I came here to Yelp in order to write a review for Dr. John M Lies DDS (Endodontist). I find 2 different reviews slamming Dr. John Lies. From what I read, the 2 reviews have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the quality or caliber of work that he has performed. Only complaints about insurance not covering this or that and overpriced fees, yada yada yada.
I won't pretend to know the surrounding circumstances of the other previous 2 individuals, however I know this: It's YOUR OWN responsibility to check and verify the following:
- Whether the Dr. is in your network or not. Keep in mind, just because they take your insurance does not necessarily mean that they are in fact 'in network'.
- It's UP TO YOU to call your insurance and verify the % of coverage. Keep in mind that some Dental/Endodontic/Oral Surgical procedures are covered under Medical insurance, rather than your typical Dental insurance. Someone complained about a stupid $90 Fee? Seriously? Really? Sheesh!!

Here's an honest and accurate review about the man that just saved me from excruciating pain hours ago:
Long story short: I had a root canal done about 2 years ago. I went to a very prominent Endodontist in South Orange County. Although I now have plenty to write about said Endodontist, I won't for now. Anyway, both my wife and I had our Root Canals done by this individual.
Almost 2 years later, both my wife and I are having pain in the same tooth where the Root Canals took place.
In my case, the Crown actually broke away from the tooth which is very rare. A few days ago, I began having pain in that tooth. The pain has been increasing in strength over the last few days and today, it was horrible,
My Dentist came in and took me as an emergency appointment earlier today and after examining me, he said that I needed to be seen by an Endodontist ASAP.
Fortunately, Dr. John Lies' office was open and they took me in within a half hour of being called by my Dentist.
He discovered that the South Orange County Endodontist, failed to use a microscope during my Root Canal, and actually missed one of the 4 microscopic canals in my upper molar, that still had the nerve. By now, I had a horrific infection and the pain was excruciating.
He handled my pain with the caliber of a professional and with extreme concern for my pain and sensitivity He also was explaining everything that was taking place, every step of the way.
If you're looking for a cheap Dentist or Endodontist, go HMO or have fun on the new Obama Care website. Otherwise, you get what you pay for.
As a married man with 3 kids, I'm always looking for a deal and have even camped out with my wife 'overnight' for a Black Friday special.
However, when it comes to the following:
- Medical/Dental/Vision Doctors
- Attorneys/Tax Specialists/CPAs
NEVER just 'go for the deal'.
Trust me, I've learned the hard way.
