Dr. Trautmann is a consummate professional. I was referred to him for a root canal involving an infected and curved root. Dr Trautmann is a perfectionist and works slowly to do the job right. I think this is why he was able to save the tooth--someone doing a quick drill and fill would not have been able to save the tooth. He also clearly communicates what needs to be done and what your options are. I felt completely confident in his abilities while he was working on my tooth.
The practice Dr. Trautmann works in (Endodontist Associates) has a policy of charging an extra $150 for medication (sodium something) that is injected into the tooth. But otherwise I was charged exactly what my co-pay is estimated to be in the schedule of fees put out by my insurer. Despite the extra $150 charge, I actually saved money since other dentists and endodontists wanted to charge about double the patient co-pay suggested by my insurance company.
The staff at Endodontist associates are fantastic. Receptionists in other dental offices I have been to in the area are insouciant about patient needs. The receptionists in Dr. Trautmann's office were helpful and friendly.
