I had 2 root canals performed by Dr. Sklar.
Cost: I chose him because he was covered by my HMO, but I still ended up paying close to $1000 for the 2 root canals.
Facilities: Two of the times I was there his equipment wasn't working & I had to be shuffled around between rooms until he was able to make things work.
Customer Service: His assistant was very pleasant. That's about the only good thing I can say about the whole experience. Dr. Sklar was so incredibly rude & mean-spirited. I have NEVER had such a terrible experience in any customer service situation. From the moment I walked in he was mean & critical. I actually felt like he wanted to fight with me physically - that's the vibe he put off. On top of criticizing me for needing dental work, he got in my face & let me know that if I wasn't going to "follow through" with this then he didn't want to have anything to do with me.
Pain, Stress & Anxiety: I have bed teeth, so I have a lot of experience with dentists and pain. Root canals hurt. The stress of having to deal with Dr. Sklar was intolerable.
Treatment Success: In the year since getting the root canals I have had constant pain & infection & ended up having to have both teeth extracted.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!
