Endodontics PC

DO NOT GO HERE. They stole money from us. Told us root canal is covered 100%, wife came in they did evaluation and found she doesn’t need root canal. Why she has pain, THEY HAVE NO IDEA. SO, basically, wasted time. Now we’re getting bill from insurance, cause we were billed as ‘Specialist consultation’, instead of oral evaluation, they are billing it wrong, cause they want to paid more money. Insurance would cover ‘oral evaluation’, but not ‘Specialist consultation. Big specialists they are

I recently came back from this endodontist’s office in their philadelphia location and I walked an extremely far walk to get there. Unfortunately what I was afraid of came true. I have a very small mouth inside and my regular dentist always has to use a small X-​ray because the regular size is too big and it doesn’t fit in my mouth and it hurts. Unfortunately the dental assistant tried to give me an X-​Ray and they only have one size and it was too big to fit into my mouth and she tried twice and then the endodontist tried once and it was too big!
I asked the endodontist if I could have an X-​Ray at my regular dentist’s office and then have it sent to him. He said no because they have to take X-​Rays during the root canal, which was not done when I had my only root canal for a cracked tooth in 1991 which I think was done at this same office. The endodontist also said that a small child size X-​ray won’t show enough of the root nerves and he called my dentist’s office and left a message because he wasn’t there, to ask if he knows any other endodontist’s office I could go to and any other suggestions. This endodontist wasn’t that nice or understanding either, he actually said soon after he came in the room for the first time, that I’m already anxious, most people are anxious at a regular dentist’s office and even more so at the possibility of root canal at an endodontist’s office! He was picked as one of the top endodontists by Philadelphia Magazine for some puzzling reason too.
I asked him wasn’t there any other test for my tooth he could do and he said no they need the X-​Ray.
MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE MY PROBLEM OF A SMALL MOUTH & X-​RAYS DENTISTS USE ARE TOO BIG!
Poster treKaren posted back in April 2003 when this topic was started, that her endodontist does have smaller sized X-​rays to use and that they are available because a lot of adults have small mouths.
