I have used him a couple of times for root canals with no issues. I have insurance so i can't comment on the cost. I recently had to have a double root canal in one tooth. I was in pain...level 8. It was a painful procedure. He wasn't sure he could save the tooth but I feel 1000% better than when I went in. Plus he's like a big Teddy bear. Awesome! I would recommend him to anyone!
