I have had a LOT of horrendous experiences with dentists, so when I have an experience that is…read moreexcellent I want to make sure the doctor and business are recognized. Dr. Aminlari/A2 endodontics was able to get me in within one week for a "questionable" tooth that was only intermittently hurting. They were able to provide me a price range over the phone when I scheduled, and on the day of the appointment the office staff and technician were very personable, open and friendly. I waited less than 5 minutes in the waiting room, and this was only because I had arrived a bit early. I have an unfortunate anatomy/physiology such that it is difficult to get adequately numbed- it takes a lot of shots and extra time to block pain signals. Dr. Aminlari was committed to making sure I was as comfortable, and was not at all judgmental or rushed like most other dentists that I have seen. He was not concerned about the time it took; while it required some trial an error to see if the local was adequate, he was very responsive to my indications of pain and immediately stopped to administer more when needed. The actual root canal procedure was very quick (especially compared to others I have had). He was also very patient with all of my nosey curious questions about tooth anatomy, and which intrument does what, haha. It was a chunk of money for me to be sure- but an imminently fair and reasonable price, in my opinion, given the years of education, training, costs associated with running a business, employing staff, etc. Also, I have paid a lot more at other dental specialists for inexcusably poor service/outcome, so I am more than happy to pay someone who does a great job and is also kind. Who wants a root canal? Literally no one. Did it hurt a little at times? Yes, but they did everything in their power to minimize this; they were super nice and responsive and I felt safe there. They got me out the door in just over an hour. They even called the next day to check on how I was doing, which is rare these days. If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of needing a root canal, no worries this is the place.

Well, I kind of feel funny writing a yelp review about a dentist but here goes! I'm writing this…read morereview because I am so happy, I just feel like I have to let everyone know. Who likes going to the dentist? Certainly not me! Well, I started going to see Scott after a bad experience with a previous dentist caused me to avoid going for quite some time. Embarrassed, I showed up at Dr. Doman's and got a cleaning and a general check-out. The hygienist and all the staff are super nice. It took two visits to do my first cleaning because it had been so long. (Very sad). They did a great job! I think I had to have an old filing repaired at that time too. Scott was super kind and attentive in every way, and very patient - especially for a scardey-cat like me. That was a couple of years ago. More recently I needed a crown. Scott fitted a temporary crown while we waited for the permanent one to come in. Well, it was late on a Saturday night, and quite out of the blue, my temporary crown broke for no apparent reason. (Because that's what they do, they wait for the most inopportune time to fail!) Panic! What do I do now? I had to fly out on a business trip the next day (Sunday). What on earth was I going to do? I decided to email Scott's office just in case they could direct me somewhere. Well, about a half-hour later, I received an email back from Scott asking me if I would be willing to come into his office the next day - Sunday morning at 8:15 AM. Can you believe it? I was almost crying! What a great guy! Sure enough next morning rolls around and there we are just the two of us in his office, which he opened just for me! He puts on the new temporary crown and I am all good to go for my new job. Fantastic! I ask you? Where can you find anyone who gives service like that? Scott is kind and gentle with a personable touch. He is highly skilled as a dentist, my new crown is perfect! He takes the time to get to know you and his staff are super awesome too. If you are looking for a dentist, I highly recommend Scott Doman.

The sidewalks are a variety of cracks and heights are a challenge to say the least. The restroom is so small you have to leave your walker out in the hall. Now my most recent encounter was an emergency visit as my crown had come off and was quite sharp. Dr Towler was quick to get me in immediately. However, I have this open hole in my mouth and I can't get in for 27 days just for a temporary to cover my open holed tooth. This is not a patient friendly response to an uncomfortable situation!

On June 24th, 2004 I had my appointment for a root canal and Dr. Racek reminded me about possible outcomes and also reassured me that the procedure wouldn't hurt and ya know what?!? He was right. He applied the gel that numbed the area for the needle and told me I'd feel a little poke but I felt nothing at all. The last 2 injections I felt a teeny bit but that's not even worth mentioning here. (Although as you can see, I did mention it here.) They let the anesthesia set in and soon Dr. Racek began his work. His calm and confidence rested easily on my mind, and he'd reassure me telling me things were going well. The 2 gals that assisted him showed perfection at their own jobs and they worked together supremely well. All 3 of them, really. I was told the procedure could last an hour to an hour and a half, but with the expertise and the perfectly scripted requirements of each of their positions, they were done in just over half an hour. I was in awe, dumbfounded and amazed at the end of it. Done so soon? Wow! Not to mention I was very happy, too. Back at home the anesthesia wore off after a bit and I had no pain at all. Who can recommend Dr. Racek at the Root Canal Specialty Associates in Livonia? *Raising my hand* I hollered "ME!" One more thing ... I don't think I properly thanked Dr. Racek before I left but I am very thankful for him and his abilities and this is my thank you to him right here Thank you!.

We called Dr Palte's office after 5:00 pm and the next morning, Michelle called from the office and got us an appointment for the next morning. Dr Palte and his staff were very kind, understanding, and compassionate. preliminary exam performed and Dr Palte sat down and explained the procedure in complete detail. unfortunately due to the condition of the tooth Dr explained options of repair and removal. I decided based on Dr Palte's opinion that the best alternative was to remove the tooth and plan for either a bridge or an implant. The tooth was removed and prep started for the implant. My experience with this office was outstanding. Dr Palte took the time to totally explain the procedures and my options and I am very confident in my treatment plan. His staff is outstanding and made the procedure as comfortable as possible. His staff also gave me documentation of the procedure and completed all the insurance forms for the visit. I plan on having an implant placed and I will definitely return to Dr Palte's office for the procedure. Great job Dr Palte and your staff.

They were able to get me an appointment within a couple of days of the referral. My first interaction was with Michelle who I immediately loved. She was very kind, welcoming and explained in detail what to expect from my visit. I was evaluated by Dr. Kimball, and when I say she is a real gem, that is an understatement. Her passion for dentistry exudes from her like a ray of sunshine. She was very sympathetic to my situation, and immediately after the evaluation began the first phase of the root canal. Her assistant Crystal, and her work together like pancakes and syrup. There interaction with each other is both professional and comedic, and definitely takes the edge off from undergoing a dental procedure. I could go on and on with my review, but in a nutshell, I would highly recommend this Endodontist if you want to experience an anxiety free procedure. I would give them 10 stars if I could.

After the root canal, pain remained, so was sent back so they could double-check. He said it was fine, despite (again) my explaining the sensitivity and pain while chewing. Trusting his analysis, went forward with the treatment (crown without root canal). Less than a year later, *surprise* I need a root canal... I would go elsewhere or get a second opinion before complying with their recommendations. Also, beware of their billing practices. Charged me twice, even though they told me I wouldn't be billed because it was the same tooth. Had to argue and fight to get refunded...

Although their services are a bit pricey, he's worth every penny. I have pretty bad dental anxiety and a long history of dental pain.

I have left his office on more than one occasion after he told me a root canal was not indicated. His bedside manner is the best. I tell all my family and friends about him. If you have dental anxiety and are especially afraid of root canals, see Dr. Robinson. Once you have one done by him - you will never go elsewhere - guaranteed. He is excellent at what he does. I have also found their staff to be very friendly and professional, and they remember you by name. They do their best to get you in for emergencies, also.
