Dr. Gurrad misdiagnosed my root canal! I was visiting Renton from out of state when I experienced the WORST pain in my mouth that I have ever had. I went to Dr. Gurrad because he had an opening and accepted my insurance. A hygienist took a digital xray of the tooth I indicated, and to Dr. Gurrad I described a DEEP throbbing pain in my tooth that seemed to RADIATE into my jaw and up to my ear, leaving my in tears and unable to sleep. He brushed it off as a misalighnment of teeth, ground down a ridge on the offending molar (#18) and assured me it was nothing that required a root canal (which I was positive it would). No antibiotics for the raging infection, he wasn't even willing to prescribe pain medication (he did when I specifically asked for it though). When I got back to my home state I saw my dentist 15 hours later and he immediately began prepping my tooth for the root canal that was desperately needed! I am currently seeking reimbursement for the "treatment" from Dr. Gurrad.
