Going to the endodontist is never a fun experience because usually that means some sort of tooth…read moresurgery is involved...however, Dr. McKenzie and her entire staff make it such a pleasant and easy experience that I actually leave feeling better (not worse!) I had to go because I got a root canal done a few years back that was not done well and my tooth was killing me (a really bad sign for a tooth that is supposed to have no feeling..) Anyway, I was recommended to Dr. McKenzie's office to get this done. Her staff not only called the day after receiving the referral, they continued to follow up weeks later when I hadn't called back (an issue with my voice mail). The staff were prompt, courteous and just generally friendly about scheduling as well as payment (and paperwork). Dr. McKenzie herself is a great endodonist. She is clearly knowledgeable and loves her job. She took the time to explain the situation to me (without being pejorative) and answered all of my questions. She does her work quickly (and as painlessly as possible). My tooth already feels leagues better and I cannot thank her enough. The office has now moved to 815 17th Ave SW. Although it's expensive, you really get quality service and I know that this is one root canal that wont have to be re-done in a few years.

Recently I was faced with a big dilemma. The right side of my face swelled. I was in and out of emerg for 2 - 3 days while doctors were trying to figure out this issue. None of them could. So I went back home and my girlfriend had suggested I goto a dentist. I humored her and the dentist did a 360 scan of my head and I found out I had a DEEP infection. The dentist had told me. I needed a endodontist asap and that it was serious. I was then sent to Shannon Davis and OMG it's like she gave me a whole new life!! Now I know those is long, but I promise it's worth it. When Shannon did a xray for me. She found a huge infection that no other dentist could. Shannon I'd VERY skilled. Shannon told me "look. We will have to preform surgery on you to get the infection out" I knew it was serious, but didn't quite understand the complexity. Shannon not only found a infection that had been there for 8 years, the infection had also eaten away at the bone, then gave me a bone graft that day as well. Shannon is not only talented, but very wise as well. I've read some of the negative reviews, and I have to say. I don't agree with them at all. Shannon basically saved my life. I was on IV antibiotics for an infection and Shannon was the ONLY one in 8 + years to catch it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Shannon I truly appreciate you.

I had a referral to this dentist.... and Dr.Davis was nice, but a bit of a money grabber…read more I had to pay a deposit ($100 or so) to make an appointment that was $257.50. The front counter and phone receptionist was rude from the time she phoned to make the appointment to the time I left. There was such a sense not entitlement at this clinic, it was sickening. The surgery was going to cost $2156 of which approximately $1800 would be covered by my insurance. They just assumed I would say "OK" as they asked me to sign releases. They already submitted it through to my insurance. Then the clinic demanded a $500 deposit to make the appointment to get the procedure done. I asked why I would pay a $500 deposit for an appointment, and the response was that "many people don't show up for their appointments". Well, I can see why!! Maybe Dr. Davis is oblivious about what is going on in Alberta's economy, maybe she doesn't know anyone that has been impacted, or maybe she doesn't care. There are plenty of good endodontists out there, avoid this one if you can!!!!

Unfortunately, a lack of attention to detail by him, and poor execution on the part of office staff in their basic jobs makes this a 2 1/2 star review. I feel badly about that, because he seems nice & did try to be helpful, plus it is possible that some of his bad info came from Foothills (I review that clinic separately). However, he saw me in person and I know I explained my need for special accommodations both on the phone and in person, plus the geneticist's letter on my file gave important context that any medical professional should understand. I told him what I needed and why, confirming no surgical suite in town would touch my case, yet he insisted I could have a root canal at a surgical suite and reassured me it would get booked the next business day, and that his office would call me with details. Of course, he was wrong, and his office never called (just as they never returned my first call to them in mid July). He then tried to make up for these errors by trying to find someone who would do an alternate procedure, but gave them all wrong info about my requirements, making his enquiries useless. I had explained my requirements on the phone again, so he had zero excuse for this additional delay. Rounding the 2 1/2 stars down instead of up because if his office had returned my mid-July call, we may have been able to do the root canal in a timely fashion. The multiple delays mean I instead had to have the tooth removed. Sam, hire some folks who can dial a phone number, if you care about your patients.
