I had a root canal in February 2009. The procedure was painless and effective. I felt that my out-of-pocket cost was not that much and well worth the treatment I received. Dr. Hodges' chair-side manners were impeccable and should be an industry standard. He was very respectful to me and to the staff. The staff was great. I have recommended Dr. Hodges to anyone that mentions that they might thik they need these services.
