I had one root canal, my wife had two root canals. One thinks of a root canal as being the ultimate in painful experience. But Dr Hakim is so smooth and painless that my wife fell asleep in the chair! I have never been in any kind of medical office that is as efficiently run as this one. From the front office to the operatory. The doctor has two patients at a time, moving back and forth between them as pain meds take effect, xrays are taken or cement dries. A dental assistant is assigned to each patient and never leaves the room until the entire job is done. Dr Hakim asks patients to return a few weeks later for a follow up visit to confirm proper healing at no charge. I went there expecting the worst and, instead, had a very satisfactory, even pleasant, experience.
