If you want an Endodontist who will put you at ease ( not ) by saying, "Let's get this nightmare…read moreover with," right before you get your first root canal, than Dr. Bayat is your man. That's what he did with me. When the root canal was finished, I told him, "It would've been nice if there had been a LITTLE less chit chat during it" ( he chit chatted with his assistant nearly constantly during the root canal ). Instead of accepting the constructive criticism, and maybe learning from it, he got defensive. Then I mentioned how I didn't have much anxiety coming in, until he said, "Let's get this nightmare over." He got MORE defensive. "We have anesthesia available," he said. I don't know, simply not referring to the procedure as a "nightmare," right before performing it, seems a lot easier than doing anesthesia. On a side note, but worth mentioning, before the surgery, something in our conversation led me to joke, "My dad didn't tell me about sex growing up. One day my dad said, 'You know about the birds and the bees, right?' I said, 'Yeah.' And he said, 'Good, I'm glad we had this discussion'.... That was a joke." Dr. Bayat said, "Well, here's something that's NOT a joke. The only time my dad mentioned sex was he said, 'Don't get AIDS.'" I think he also said that his dad said, "Don't be gay." So, again, words that might not put certain patients at ease. Dr. Bayat seemed alright when I first met him, a week ago. It was very disappointing to see this other side of him, especially on the day of my first root canal.

When I questioned this, instead of honoring the original quote, they sent the balance to collections. This lack of transparency and integrity is unacceptable.

I had never had a root canal or anything like this before so I was navigating this very painful and very scary thing for the first time. I must've called 20 different offices trying to get some relief because Friday morning when I woke up, the pain was excruciating. I called the Oregon Endodontic Group and I was lucky enough to get Emily in the office on the phone. Knowing they had a packed schedule, heading into an extended holiday weekend she put me on hold two different times in attempt to help me. She was unable to guarantee me anything, but told me she would take my Information and call me if someone canceled. After many more calls, my phone rang and it was Emily. She told me she couldn't guarantee me a root canal, but that she would figure something out and told me to head down and that they would try to squeeze me in, in-between appointments. As I called many places desperately seeking help, I didn't get anyone to give me the time of day, but she (Emily) had clearly put in extra work and care to help me. As a result, she was able to get me in a chair and eventually evaluated by the Endodontist. Dr. Tarsa suggested I have the tooth extracted as she felt like there was a good chance it couldn't be saved. I actually had an appointment with another endodontist to have the root canal done on Tuesday but Dr. Tarsa clearly had my best interests at heart which I viewed as showing honesty and integrity. She doesn't do extractions so I was worried about having to wait through the weekend again as I would need to see an oral surgeon for this. Emily was back in my corner calling surgeons trying to get me in. Finally, she got an oral surgeon across town to agree to squeeze me in which was a miracle. I went across town to Three Rivers Oral Surgery and they got me in right before they closed (they stayed late for me). In a world where it is sometimes a challenge to find someone that truly care's for the customer, Emily was my savior. I could tell during my first phone call to the office. She wanted to help me. I don't actually think anyone canceled, I think she continued to advocate for me after my call and promptly called me back. If it wasn't for her, it would've been a painful and rough weekend for me. Instead, I had a pain-free wonderful weekend with my family. Words can't describe how much I appreciate her care and efforts to help me. If everyone in the medical industry had office personnel like her the world would be a better place. From the bottom of my heart Emily, thank you.

The kindness, compassion, and professionalism of Dr. Broadsword, as well as his staff was prevalent from the moment I walked in the business.

Dr. Broadsword can be praised for his clear and thorough explanations of procedures, taking the time to answer all my questions and ensure I was well-informed. He even had a model tooth to walk me through the CT Scan of my tooth. I was a last-minute appointment, and they got me in to see the doctor with efficiency and ease. The ability to accommodate patients, including scheduling emergency appointments on short notice is a great bonus!! I was seen on Friday and received a follow up letter on Monday. They are on top of their game. Great Doctor, great staff. If anything goes bad, I will be back!

Everyone in the clinic is friendly, and the front desk was quick to get authorization from the VA via Community Care. Dr. Edwards was very thorough in asking questions and explaining the procedure. He even got out a pen and paper and drew the tooth and nerves, and showed me exactly what he was going to do! Like I said, the procedure itself was completely pain-free and now, hours later, I feel fine. Obviously, I don't want any more dental issues, but if something comes up, I'd be happy to see him again!

I sent an email explaining my desire to know what I should expect and promptly received a detailed explanation, this encouraged me. When Dr. Kreutzer introduced himself, he was very professional, his demeanor put me at ease, he explained everything we would be doing at each step, he was able to show me the x-rays of my teeth in a fine detail, and explained thoroughly my situation. AND, even though he could have gone ahead and recommended the root canal, he suggested we wait and see with a preliminary step of having my dentist do a temporary crown. That means he put honesty and integrity ahead of making the money on the procedure. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. David Kreutzer.

I had been putting it off for almost a year but knew that the longer I delayed, the more problems might crop up. I called Endoconic Specialty Group in Gresham on Tuesday. They schedule me for a consultation the next day. After going over the process and answering all of my questions, I was able to schedule the procedure for the same day as the office had a cancellation for later in the afternoon Everyone in the office was courteous and efficient. X-rays were taken to make sure everyone knew what was ahead and I was perfectly numbed by Dr. Vaughan. (I've never had such a totally painless experience.) A protective dam was installed to help with keeping it all clean and I was offered an option when I initally tensed up at the process. (I have a pretty strong gag reflex but the dental assistant worked gently and slowly, making sure I was comfortable with the device as she installed it.) The process took about an hour. I used my earbuds and music to distract me while they drilled away. I had mentioned problems that I had endured during previous root canals and it appears that Dr. Vaughan was able to get the job done without a recurrence of these problems. I was given specific post-op instructions on pain management and we discussed when I should call my regular dentist to schedule crown prep and cleaning -- in a couple of weeks. All in all, it was a pleasant experience. I would recommend this office to anyone needing a professional and painless root canal. One day later, I have no pain. Thank you.

When my dentist let me know I needed a root canal I was alarmed. The mythology around "root canal"…read moreis one of pain and anxiety. None of this was the case with Dr. Vaughan and the Endodontic Specialty Group. They were able to see me soon after I called (the day after in fact). The evaluation was completed, x-rays snapped, and all was explained to me in generous detail. The procedure was local anesthesia and took less than an hour. They were able to do it the same day, right after the evaluation. The office was very professional. Getting "root canal" is not the boogie-man I have been led to believe - no more or less than most other dental procedures. Note that I am a retired physician. I recommend Dr. Vaughan and this practice without reservation.

After the root canal was done the assistant went over what I need to do when I get home. If you are looking for a doctor that specializes in root canal I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND coming to see Dr. Johnson.
