Thank goodness I went to see Dr. Alibhai.It was hours before I was scheduled to have a molar extraction after the diagnosis of a very unskilled,unprofessional endodontist in Factoria sent me to have my tooth extracted. Dr.Dean Barnett could not proceed with a re-do on an old root canal after drilling my 12 month old crown until it broke off.He was supposed to just drill a hole in it and then do a root canal but he said the crown had a crack and that he could not follow through with the root canal and sent me immediately to have my tooth extracted at an oral sugeon in Issaquah.Thank fully I had eaten earlier and was told I would have to come back the following morning for the surgery. Ultimately I would have required an implant. My husband urged me to see Dr.Alibhai for a second opinion.When he saw the xray taken by Dr.Burnett he could not see the reason for a root canal in the first place,especially as the tooth was not causing any discomfort .I cancelled the extraction, had the root canal successfully treated and am now proceeding with a new crown from Dr. Alaam Samsovar who recommended Dr. Alibhai to my husband. I am so grateful to have had Dr. Alibhai save my tooth and not have to have an extraction.He is brilliant.
