I went to Dr. Brown for my very first root canal. I have had some very bad/painful dental experiences in the past and i was very afraid of having a root canal. So afraid, in fact, that i couldn't stop crying when i went in just for the consultation! Dr. Brown was incredibly kind and did everything he could to make me feel more comfortable--including giving me a valium to take in the morning before coming in for the procedure--and didn't make me feel at all foolish for being so afraid (as other dentists have). In the end, the root canal really was not nearly as bad as I had imagined--certainly not as bad as the anticipation. Dr. Brown let me know what was going on all the way through and checked often to make sure that i was comfortable. I can't say that it was completely painless, but there was certainly nothing excruciating. In fact, there were 4 things that hurt--the first was the initial novocaine shot, the other 3 were no worse or longer lasting than that. I highly recommend Dr. Brown. The only thing couldn't give him 4 stars for was the price, but from what i know, his price is right in line with everyone else in San Francisco. I guess root canals are just really expensive.
out of 5 stars
