Getting to the root of it all. With a true desire for others…read morewell being, an interest to figure out what's going on and a genuine joyful disposition Dr. Gamson aims to get to the root of things. The front desk is always very helpful and informative in all aspects of the visit (insurance, scheduling, after care and such). Very professional, communicate clearly and really want to help and have things go smoothly for everyone. All they have done and gone that extra bit to be help is very much appreciated. Dr. Gamson is a true master at his craft and has always strived to make sure things are up to his standers before I leave even if that means making a couple adjustments to things. This to me shows a concern for the long term of his work instead of other place that are like a tooth mill in and out mentality. Dr. Gamson has gone above and beyond to listen to what is going on and really engages himself in the conversation to make sure he has all the information needed to then dip into he experience to implement a plan of action. He works very effectively and efficiently always checking in to make sure one is ok. His precision numbing is amazing and makes sure there is no pain during the visit. The best part of it all which is a strange to read in a review about root canals is he sense of humor and upbeat approach to his work. His joy and happiness permeate the space and you can tell that he really does care about the well being of others while still maintaining a professional relationship with others. I would definitely recommend Dr Gamson to anyone looking for someone who is knowledgeable, thorough and produces amazing work and you can count on all the while bringing joy and happiness and a lot of laughs to the experience.

Last year - sadly while on vacation - I experienced terrible pain that radiated from my upper jaw…read moredown my neck. I felt very sick. Turned out I needed a root canal! I was a little scared because root canals have such a bad rep, but thankfully I was referred by my dentist to Dr. Gamson. I was seen promptly when I arrived and felt more relaxed in just a few minutes. Dr. Gamson is gifted - finding common interests to distract patients in a charming manner - and at the same time explaining what he is doing and what to expect. Also, it's clear he's a top notch expert when it comes to root canals. I had no pain during the procedure - just a bit of sting with the shots. The root canal immediately addressed the radiating pain. I was so relieved that an experience I expected to be horrible was not - and I enjoyed Dr. Gamson's charming chatter, which distracted me from my fears. The office staff was efficient and helped me understand the insurance coverage situation. Also, the office and treatment rooms have unique art displayed that I enjoyed learning about. Anyway, I'm going back soon as I suspect another tooth needs treatment...it's nice that I know I have no reason to worry.

Phenomenal service!! I had a root canal that needed to be redone. They found the previous doctor…read morehad missed one of the roots of my molar which was now causing me significant pain. They had an appointment available within 2 weeks. They staff was friendly and the place was clean. Note: they have multiple locations. The location I was seen at the first time was not the location for the 2nd appointment. I showed up in Hagerstown for the 2nd appointment when I should have been in Frederick. So I was late when I arrived in Frederick but they still fit me in and acted like it was no big deal that I messed up they schedule. Generally, after the root canal is finalized they send the patient back to their dentist to repair the crown. But due to a recent move from another state I no longer have a dentist. So they repaired the crown at no additional cost. I highly recommend this place.

The lack of transparency in this office is concerning. I reached out for information as their…read morewebsite offers little guidance. There's no information about accepted insurance, new patient procedures or financial options. What was particularly troubling is their policy requiring a copy of your drivers license or military ID. It seems a simple visual inspection isn't enough. After asking several questions about this policy and trying to understand why a visual check wouldn't suffice, I was unexpectedly disconnected.

The first word that I think of is WOW! I had an appointment…read moreon Wednesday with my regular dentist, who told me I needed an emergency root canal. I called Advanced Root Canal Specialists, and they asked me how quickly I could get there--the dentist would wait. I was an hour away, and it was approximately 3:30 pm. I arrived around 4:40, which isn't too bad during rush hour. When I walked in, I felt like I was at a spa. The room was gorgeous, with a fireplace going for ambiance. (No heat was emitted, as it was 102° F outside). Two very kind and helpful ladies greeted me and offered me something to drink. I chose tea, since they had various types of calming tea. Afterall, I was getting a root canal, and no one likes going to the dentist. I waited about 10 minutes before I was taken back to a room. Tamara and Dr. Fakhari were amazing. I told them prior to beginning that I am not a fan of the Novocain needle. Tamara put dark sunglasses on me, due to the bright lights; gave me a weighted blanket; and offered me headphones to listen to music. All the while, Dr. Fakhari was giving me a needle that I felt, but in a gentle way. He spoke and joked with me while the Novocain took effect. Then, he gave me a second needle to numb the rest of my mouth. I realized it and said, "I see what you did there." He chuckled, "I didn't do anything," and then, smirked. It was the best experience I have had with the painful part of any dental procedure. Dr. Fakhari told me up front that I have a crack in my tooth, and he may not be able to save it. While it was not news I wanted to hear, I appreciated the transparency and honesty. After what seemed like a few minutes, Tamara took the headphones off of my ears. (I was on the fourth song of the playlist). I was waiting for the news that Dr. Fakhari couldn't save my tooth. Instead, he said, "All done. Not so bad." I couldn't believe it was over. He gave me care instructions, and I left--at 5:45 pm. Wow! I hope I don't need a root canal again in the future, but if I do, I will definitely be calling Dr. Fakhari.

There are exactly ZERO instances where you want to visit a root canal specialist but, if you find…read moreyourself in such a scenario, ARCS is where you should land. After being in pain all weekend, I made an emergency dentist appointment that resulted in a referral to ARCS. The office offered to call for me and I was told I could come right then. For context, my dentist appointment was at 3:20pm and roughly by 3:40pm I was headed to ARCS. The office is clean and the front desk staff were helpful and professional. I overheard one team member speaking to another patient in Spanish so it's nice to know the environment is accessible and inclusive in this regard as well. I was called back after a short wait and X-rays were taken. Dr. Fakhari then arrived to perform some tests (these suck but are necessary to confirm a root canal is the right treatment) but before the test began he spent time speaking with me and had, quite possibly, the most pleasant, patient, and caring demeanor of any endodontist I've ever met (yes, unfortunately I have seen down this road more than once). When I was weeping during the numbing process, the aide whose name I believe was Alyssa, kindly comforted me, provided tissues, etc. Dr. Fakhari also took things very slow and checked in often. They were both very reassuring. I don't think it's possible to enjoy anything about a root canal so the fact that every other aspect of the experience is positive (including noise canceling headphones, a blanket, and Spotify) means so much. I'd very much love to never need to visit ARCS again but I'm nonetheless very grateful for their immediate availability, kindness, and professionalism across the board.
