My experience with Dr. Marcum has been nothing but pleasant and professional. Let's face it, having a root canal is not something to be taken lightly. Having worked in dentistry for over 20 years, I know this firsthand. Dr. Marcum and his staff were exceptional at helping me feel at ease from the get-go. Being curious, steps were explained to me as we progressed. No pain, nothing but gain and I've never had a problem since.

I first saw Dr. Llloyd Marcum years ago in an emergency basis for a root cannal. The office staff gave me an immediate appointment and were very nice and professional. There was no wait in his office. Dr. Marcum was fast and did an excellent job. I have since been back and have received the same great treatment and after care. I have referred countless friends to him over the years and each has been very happy with treatment and all continue to recomend and use Dr. Lloyd Marcum.

My young son was treated by Dr. Lloyd Marcum after suffering a fall. As you can imagine, he was traumatized by the accident, but the gentle care and calming demeanor of Dr. Marcum helped my son get through this experience. I am happy to say that he not only has no residual fear of the dentist, but actually enjoys going! I would highly recommend Dr. Lloyd Marcum for his excellent care and for his thoughtful, caring staff.

You are playing Russian roulette with this dentist. Need to check out all of his reviews prior to patronizing his office. My father was a dentist; I know the minimum standard of care. Marcum's treatment of me resulted in ongoing pain, infection, bone loss and the eventual loss of the tooth. This was a routine root canal. His demeanor was angry. His treatment was brutal; there is no other way to describe it. He jammed the splint used to prop the mouth open, with the heel of his hand repeatedly. That only added to the pain that felt like having a root canal done without any anesthesia. I would cry; he told me that if I cried, he would send me away. I knew the nerve was exposed or I would have gotten out of that chair and run. I was trapped. There was no attempt at alleviating pain, only causing more. His staff stood by, mocking me. When it was over, I was still in intense pain for until I went to the ER the next morning. When I went to another dentist, she immediately acknowledged that I'd been traumatized. I went to another endodontist who volunteered that the evidence pointed to iatrogenic or physician caused harm. He wrote a letter detailing infection and bone loss and had to extract the tooth.

Over the last 12 years Dr. Marcum has performed a number of root canals in my mouth. I can say with out a doubt that I would not go anywhere else for a root canal. Dr. Lloyd Marcum and his team staff are awesome. I hope and pray that I do not have to go there again....but if I do, I know I am in good hands.
