I went to Dr. Walker for an evaluation. This Doctor still uses radiographic film instead of true digital radiography, unbelievable. Dr. Walker’s diagnosis (quote): “Irreversible Pulpitis” (I need a root canal).
I’m somewhat distrusting when it comes to Dentists and inquired two more Endodontist evaluations. Result (quote): “No endodontic treatment indicated” and (quote) “No root canal at this time“, both used true digital x-ray technology. I also consulted my new General Dentist and more digital x-rays where taken twice a year. It is now two years later and there is still no indication that I ever needed a root canal. I’m not questioning Dr. Walkers capability to perform a first rate procedure, I just consider myself lucky to have been somewhat suspicious and avoided the root canal procedure I never needed. It is confusing to me as a patient to understand why one Endodontist wanted to do a root canal (Dr. Walker) and two others plus a Dentist saw no reason for it. I can not recommend Dr. Walker. As of the cost for each Endodontists evaluation: Dr. Walker: $ 283.00, the other two Endodontists: $ 148.00 and $ 149.00 (all included x-rays).
