My dentist referred me to Dr. Pascal for a root canal and while I dreaded the appointment, Dr. Pascal and his staff made it one of my better dental experiences. Other dentists have not been able to get my lower jaw numb but Dr. Pascal had it numb with one shot and it wore off very quickly which was great. Joni at the front desk went out of her way to be nice and helpful. While the upfront cost might be high, it really isn't for quality dental work the first time. Definitely recommend Dr. Pascal 100%.
