I've seen Dr. Gurrad since the early 90s and have come to realize he does not use the latest methods. I am currently spending $5,000 with an endodontist to redo his work - which was done badly - requiring 3 procedures, and then I'll need to see another dentist to redo the crown. If you need a root canal see someone who specializes in root canals. Dr. Gurrad is personable and his staff is very nice. If all you need is regular cleanings and a filling in a front tooth he's probably fine. As for me I'm never going back.
