So, I called my dentist around 4:45pm because I noticed a bump on my gum, that was not there earlier in the day. They referred me to Dr. Palermo's office. I called and explained my symptoms, they asked me to come into the office. I arrived at 5:40pm.
I have never had a root canal before, and honestly it was on my list of events to avoid at all costs...but things happen. The receptionist, the assistant and Dr. Palermo were very nice. The office was clean and they actually perfomed the root canal that night! They stayed open after regular hours and took care of my issue.
The fact that they stayed open for a new, unkown patient....really I can hardly believe I am saying this but - I have had worse experiences getting a filling.
So, if you have a fear of these things, and are a little hard to numb - - I would highly reccomend Dr. Palermo.
