When I saw Dr. Mann they said he is the only Board-Certified Endodontist in Sarasota; that inspired my confidence. Friendly staff, clean & professional office. Very impressive digital x-ray machine, with large format detailed images that reduces radiation exposure by nearly 90% compared to traditional x-ray machines. Only reason I give him a 4 not a 5? He didn't have available the kind of novacaine or xylocaine without adrenaline, which sometimes gives me a rapid heartbeat. So he suggested he give me a 1/2 dose of the anesthesia & it was NOT enough to block the pain.
He preferred to finish the procedure, than to stop & inject more anesthesia for pain relief.
Also my head was lower than my body, not comfortable. If I needed to see him again, these issues could be prevented through pre-appointment communication. I believe his technical skills are excellent, though; the after pain was minimal and the tooth has felt strong and calm since it healed. read more
