When I contacted Dr Gabel's office and explained that I needed to be seen for what had become a painful problem after getting a crown from my dentist they got me in within an hour of my phone call! Since I was facing a weekend of pain with no meds of any kind and pain getting worse by the minute I was amazed that a dentist who I had never seen before would get me in so fast. The office keeps a couple of time slots open so they can see emergency patients. He was friendly and professional as was all of his team.
While a simple xray didn't show a clear problem, Dr Gabel took a history of what had been going on, and informed me I did indeed need a root canal. When I originally called for an appointment I thought it might be going in that direction, but my own dentist didn't seem to have many ideas.
The root canal was performed in about an hour with less pain than than a filling usually gives. Cost was very reasonable. The only bad part of all this is that Dr Gabel is a specialist and doesn't do regular dentistry. As long as he is practicing I won't ever be afraid to hear the words "root canal" again. I love this doctor and his whole staff! I can't say enough good things about him.
