out of Read Reviews for Dr. James Pastor
I was referred to Dr. Pastor by an oral surgeon- I've had 2 root canals done with him and one more to go. So far so good. I was not in any pain at all after his treatments. I was VERY nervous to go because i didn't have a recommendation from someone who actually went to him, but i think he did a good job...office staff lady is nice and helpful figuring out insurance issues..no complaints...
About Front Desk: i forget her name, but she is very nice and friendly- willing to help figure things out with insurance and all..

Facilities are great. Dr. Pastor is an expert at what he does. I was referred by my good dentist. The office staff made me very comfortable.

7/30/2010 - My tooth #13 (upper L molar) had flared up with intense pain following crown prep. My regular endodontist Dr Javelet was booked and referred me to Dr Pastor. Luckily Pastor was able to squeeze me in, and he even provided premeds (4x500mg Amox) which I had forgotten to take ahead of time. After 2 hours the procedure was finished, with care and precision. He even checked his work through a microscope before filling it in. I no longer felt the sharp lingering pain to cold water and was able to enjoy ice cream that night. Later that evening in bed I awoke with throbbing pain from unconsciously grinding my teeth. He responded to his cell phone when I called the next day, Saturday, advising this pain is normal for 1-2 days following. He told me how to minimize the pain with meds, staying upright, and avoiding tooth contact. It's been 24 hours since the root canal; the pain is subsiding. I'm encouraged everything will be OK, since Dr Pastor offered to followup if needed.
