On June 24th, 2004 I had my appointment for a root canal and Dr. Racek reminded me about possible outcomes and also reassured me that the procedure wouldn't hurt and ya know what?!? He was right. He applied the gel that numbed the area for the needle and told me I'd feel a little poke but I felt nothing at all. The last 2 injections I felt a teeny bit but that's not even worth mentioning here. (Although as you can see, I did mention it here.) They let the anesthesia set in and soon Dr. Racek began his work. His calm and confidence rested easily on my mind, and he'd reassure me telling me things were going well. The 2 gals that assisted him showed perfection at their own jobs and they worked together supremely well. All 3 of them, really. I was told the procedure could last an hour to an hour and a half, but with the expertise and the perfectly scripted requirements of each of their positions, they were done in just over half an hour. I was in awe, dumbfounded and amazed at the end of it. Done so soon? Wow! Not to mention I was very happy, too. Back at home the anesthesia wore off after a bit and I had no pain at all. Who can recommend Dr. Racek at the Root Canal Specialty Associates in Livonia? *Raising my hand* I hollered "ME!" One more thing ... I don't think I properly thanked Dr. Racek before I left but I am very thankful for him and his abilities and this is my thank you to him right here Thank you!.

I would rate 10+ stars if I could do so. If you need a root canal or a partial one please go here. Especially if you are like me and are scared of dentists you will like this place because the dentists there are very nice. The two ladies at the front desk are comforting as well, even if I talked to them only at the end of the appointment. The x-rays are also not as painful as the metal ones. And the three dentists who worked on my canal were very nice to me and were comforting me basically as they worked. They also let me hold my bunny the whole time which I really appreciate! Thank you for numbing me and taking care of me, and especially for also giving me medicine to take before I left! I appreciate everything you guys do! :) Also I will come back here if I ever need another root canal or something similar done! Love you guys! Sending love your guys way and God bless all of you!

I was scheduled to meet Carolina cucco at noon. The office called me and asked if I could come in earlier. I complied only to wait in the waiting area for at least 15 minutes. The egos in this office are palpable! Upon going to have a cbct x-ray taken the office technician proceeded to argue with me about my gag reflex. And insisted that she knew more about me than I did. Upon taking my blood pressure it had skyrocketed! Wonder why? My meeting with Carolina was worse. The condescending manner in which I was addressed further exacerbated my stress! She recommended that my tooth be extracted. She was not willing to examine any other options! Even with that being the case, she was not going to be the person that would pull the tooth but she sat there just insisting that I listen and obey her edict! I will seek another endodontist that is more experienced and knowledgeable! Someone that will try to alleviate my concerns and show empathy and compassion.

Dr. Bloink has been my dentist for about 12-15 years now and my hearts gonna break when he retires (he's young so hopefully I have some time). A few months ago I was having issues from having wisdom teeth removed and he called back before the oral surgeon, gave me reassurance and told me what to do if something happens before my appt. with the oral surgeon the following week. Truly a family doctor. The entire staff is kind, compassionate and knowledgeable. Answering all 1000 questions (I'm curious, what can I say) and giving me great (and reasonable) advice to care for my teeth. I would recommend him to my closet family and friends. I'd also like to note, his practice had a wonderful atmosphere. Soothing music played while they work on your teeth, not a speck of dust anywhere and an updated interior.

Numbing gel was applied to my daughters' gums and he tried to get her to open wide to numb her mouth with the needle. After a few tries of us trying to get her to do so, she was crying and scared, and the dentist reply was "I don't have all morning to sit here and fight with her I have more patience". My daughter apologized as if she did something wrong. I let her know that she was not wrong for being afraid and I let the dentist know it was EXTREMELY unprofessional for him to make a comment like that in front of a child and if he had something negative to say he could have took me in the hallways as the parent, as she's already an afraid child in a dentist chair that's going to be more afraid when she feels your energy is negative as if she has done something wrong. He let me know I can reschedule and I told him we would never. The nice assistant cleans my child up, we checked out and left. If the dentist is not kid friendly maybe a practice would be not to take children as a patient!
