Contra Costa Endodontics

Dr Tancreto and his staff were wonderful! Professional, efficient and very kind. My root canal was quick and painless. Once the numbness wore off I felt great no tenderness or pain. Not that I ever want to need a root canal again, but if I ever need one, their office is where I will go without hesitation

I was referred to this office for an emergency root canal as I was in severe pain. They got me right in the same day, within the same hour and my root canal was a piece of cake. Dr. Tancreto was so great and patient and has a great «chair side manner.» I highly recommend this office!

PAINLESS PROFESSIONAL PERFECT
When my dentist first told me i was going to need a root canal i was terrified. Dr Tancreto and his staff were completely professional from start to finish. Throughout the whole process there was never any discomfort or pain whatsoever. I was amazed at how simple the procedure was.
If you have been avoiding getting your tooth looked at because your afraid of gnarly drills and smoke coming out of your mouth stop living in pain and let Dr Tancreto work his magic. He clearly uses state of the art equipment and has the experience to be at the top of his trade. Thanks to them my fear of a nightmare turned into a dream come true.
I would absolutely reccomend Dr Tancreto and his staff to anyone and everyone!!!

No one likes the idea of getting a root canal, but Dr. Tancreto and all of the staff made this a very painless experience in every way. Thank you all for making this a much eaiser than expected appointment.

My daughter went to see Dr. Dobin for a r canal. She had a great experience. She said the entire procedure was pain free!

Avoid this endodontic dental office like the proverbial plague!
On the 2^nd of August 2007 I went to this office for a root canal re-​treatment for a re-​infected right molar I’d preserved from extraction with re-​treatments for roughly 20 years since 1988!
Thanks to David J Tancreto & Co. I recently lost this – my first and only tooth ever – to extraction!
Why? Because due to Trancreto’s carless, hasty and slip-​shod re-​treatment, he splintered off a piece of metallic file in the molar’s infected root and negligently left it there, knowing full well from X-​ray image it remained to fester and ultimately not only re-​infect the root canal but rupture it beyond repair as well!
Thanks lots, Tancreto!
Add to that this office’s nefarious debt collection/​payment plan procedures.
On my very first visit this office hit me up for an extravagant $ 127 consultation fee, indicating their immediate inclination to perform the root canal re-​treatment on the spot, but insisting on full payment upon completion: for a mere $ 1350 fee!
Unable to promptly pay that exorbitlant, overpriced fee, I rose to walk, but Tancreto and his staff assistants verbally assured me that unspecified payment arrangements could be made despite pressing me to sign – whilst I was still sitting in the patient chair, no less! – clip-​board «financial agreement» forms promising service-​performed payment.
Long-​story-​short: they re-​sat me down to perform the hurried and slip-​shod root canal re-​treatment procedure and then afterwards – just as hurriedly – re-​sat me down across a desk from one of the most horrid and horrible female figures ever encountered anywhere, demanding payment-​in-​full of the $ 310 fee balance left after my estimated insurance payment of $ 1040.
In short, this on-​site bill collections agent insisted on immediate payment of the service’s balance due in direct contradiction to the vebal agreement and contract for payment arrangements Tancreto himself had just previously agreed to before I consented to treatment.
I told this ghastly lady about my payment arrangement with Tancreto, which she dumbly acted as if she knew absolutely nothing about, and that I’d pay off the balance in no more than two or three monthly installments (it turned out to be just two).
Knowing that my occupation was publishing-​related, she smugly cracked: «Then you better go sell some books.»
Cute, huh? Haughty, piss-​poor, shoddy service all in one single initial visit!
If that’s your preferred style, folks, then by all means: have at it!
