It might seem odd for me to say that my experience during my recent root canal was an enjoyable…read moreone, but the friendliness of Kathy and Karen did a lot towards putting me at ease, both for the procedure, and for the bill. Perhaps the cost of a root canal, an exacting specialty that is best left to endodontists, with their microscopes, treatment rooms and skilled assistants, is the biggest concern of new patients. Rachael and Lisa were both caring and competent; meeting them put me at ease before treatment began. But patients must manage their health insurance themselves. With so many insurers and programs, talk to your health care providers to learn whether they 'participate' with all insurance companies... not just 'accept' payments from all major dental insurers (of course they accept insurance companies money... it's money.) The tricky dental offices who say that they 'accept all insurance', and then send you a bill for the balance are deplorable. Berks Endodontics is up front with everything; Karen went so far as to help me to decide whether they should send the bill to my insurer in the year when they began treatment, or afterwards when the treatment is completed. I don't need to review doctor Bram; he already has dozens of five star reviews. Dentists who jab all over with novocaine and numb your whole face need more practice. Doctor Bram does many difficult root canals every day! They all require novocaine, and my only aftereffect from treatment was discomfort the evening of the surgery, and that only required 500 mg of acetaminophen before bedtime. I ate dinner comfortably six hours after my treatment. That is incredible considering the time a thorough root canal treatment takes. (I don't really have zero friends. Lol.)

Appointments being cancelled and being rescheduled out 4-5 months. Lost payments and having to provide a receipt to prove that it was paid.

I did my research and I saw so many good reviews for this place that I felt confident I would be…read morehappy and comfortable going there. My first appointment went pretty good and the hygienist was very nice. At this point I met Dr. D'Agostino who told me I had cavities. He suggested I get the 2 on the one side of my mouth done at the same time and I agreed that it sounded like a good idea. I used to have a fear of dentists because as a teenager I had some very horrible experiences, but over the years I was totally over that fear - or so I thought. The day comes to have my cavities filled and it went horribly wrong. First, I didn't realize I would need 2 Novocain shots since that was never explained to me so I was a bit upset about that and then when the drilling started I felt I needed a little break to catch my breath. At this point I was literally yelled at and told that in all his 30 years of practice he has never had to be on egg shells with anyone like me, I should never have scheduled to have 2 cavities done at the same time, he wasnt going to even finish and he didn't want me coming back. I was literally stunned. If you are like me and do have a fear at all or uncomfortable going to a dentist you really should find another place like I had to.
