The root canal I received was fine it relved me of the tooth pain just fine. However, his bed side manner wasn't good at all during the process I visibly started to panic and had shaky breathing. I even started to cry a little and he didn't aking a second to see if I was ok. After the procedure his assistant attempted to give the post x-rays and the she shoved the piece in my month to the point of gagging me read more

Dr Smith is terrific with a keen therapeutic touch and does all he can with diseased teeth to take the pain away in doing the work (for me a root canal) that was later packed with resin (light hardened) by the referring Dentist. I stay away from Mercury-Silver fillings. With that said, it was necessary for me to take about 12 to 14 individual x-rays (including a full skull scan). This was done by the dental tech (one of 7 other staff ladies varies in age, all pretty and petite). There is one person to greet patients, another to check them out, another to answer the phone, another to work insurance, on and on it goes - how many staff are there - just for one doctor who can only put his hands into one mouth at a time. Some of the x-rays were duplicates as they were not placed in the correct anatomical tooth location to begin with (she claimed) and then the follow on x-ray was also identical. The next one was crooked (she claimed) and had to be taken again. Then the next one had to have a darker contrast per DMD request. I lost track of the excuses for the - what they considered necessary diagnostic tools - to be sure the root canal was properly done. If you LOVE x-rays this is the place for you. I do not have that love for being radiated with a poison repeatedly .. and would see another highly trained DMD if I was paying for it. This was a required visit by my insurance provider so i had no choice in the matter - except to pay for it my self .. which if I had to do over again .. I would make the medical intervention at my own financial hardship. My caution is not for the professional performance of the Doctor but of the support staff .. their profession performance is lacking. As is the Human Condition .. every one is neurotic (sad sickness) - addicted - and in dysfunctional relationship issues. Though it is rare there are Psychiatrist Medical Doctors who have sex with their patients and make up the 1 % of therapists who do that behaviour ... replicating the injury of the patients childhood and driving the disease deeper into the Defense Structure making it harder to come out for healing ... as they find a therapist who will not violate that therapeutic boundary. Dental tech -- Inhalation therapy -- physical therapists -- nurses -- EMT -- Paramedics -- all of them have to do the work like every one else in fixing the Human Condition in being neurotic - addicted - and still in the prison of their fears having dysfunctional relationship issues. Since they are working in healing .. and with Patients .. the OATH .. 'is to do no harm'. Which a clumsy heavy handed blind mistake prone intervention on a patient is suppose to be a clue .. hey - you still screwed up babe. read more

I had a great experience at Dr.Smith's office. The staff were friendly and professional. I was in and out in exactly 1 hour. Best root canal I have had. Thank you!! read more

My teen daughter had a root canal done with Dr. Smith and we had a fantastic experience. His office staff is friendly and professional, they made our entire visit from check in to check out effortless. Dr. Smith was personable and reassuring to myself and my daughter, he completely eased her anxiety. I recommend this office highly! read more

I would get a second opinion before proceeding with any of his recommendations. Despite my daughter saying no to pain or discomfort in his root canal diagnostics process he still recommended my 16 year old have a root canal on her front tooth. There was no discoloration, infection or consistent sensitivity on the tooth he recommended a root canal on. Beware!! read more

I went to Dr. Smith a couple of years ago to evaluate my tooth for a root canal. Was definitely nervous about going for a root canal. He and his staff were so nice and professional. I ended up needing to have the tooth pulled because the tooth was split in half. He referred me to Dr. Holpuch who pulled my tooth and put in an implant. Would definitely recommend this office. read more

I recently saw Dr. Smith for a routine root canal. When I arrived at his office I was not greeted with a 'Good Afternoon', instead I was asked if I was Teri? I said Yes, and than I was asked if there were any changes to my demographic or insurance information in the last 2 years. I stated that I was a new patient, and after a few minutes of conversation between a couple woman, I was given the new patient paperwork to fill out. While I was filling it out, I was privvy to conversation with staff about rodeo reservations in Reno, and which hotel they were staying at. I found this to be highly unprofessional. During the procedure Dr. Smith and his assistant were discussing staff and children and Hawaii, totally talking right over me. I felt completely disregarded. The staff were friendly but patient skills for the entire staff should be revisited. I would not return to this practice because of the lack of empathy and professionalism. read more

He took the devil from my mouth and left me with a smile. He and his staff accomplished this miracle pleasantly and efficiently.
