Root 66 Endodontics

I had to edit my review. Something odd happened at my endodontics appointment. They called my medical insurance and told me I do not have coverage. I corrected them and gave them the DENTAL card and said THIS was the number to call. Right in front of me she said she called and they said I do not have coverage. That is odd because when I was changing insurance later my original dental insurer said indeed I DID have endodontic coverage, not high, but I had it. I am wondering if they told me I do not have it so they could get more when I signed the self pay agreement because this would be more than the contractual agreement amount. I am waiting for this to be resolved, but I would exercise caution about what coverage you have and what agreement for payment you enter into with them.

Great staff, made my mother feel real comfortable and safe. Everyone spoke Spanish which made it a lot easier for my mother to communicate with them. Thank you Root 66!!!

The Dr. was great and treated my son wonderful. Most of the staff was fantastic, HOWEVER… Gabby was not. Because of her attitude and how unprofessional and rude she was she made this experience awful.
We ended up having to go back and fourth several times and wasted a lot of time due to an over site on the referral/​paperwork.
It is really sad that you can have a great dentist and almost perfect staff and it just takes one person in the front office to ruin everything!!!

OMG Im happy you have a Unilocal.So here it goes my review.
Been to root 66 more than once. They are cool and get the job done. My experience has been good. professional. My endo-​doc rocks as well as the staff. No crazy anesthetics lil to no pain and your in and out. No lie. so if you have a swollen gum that wont go away, or swells and disappears for a while then returns out of nowhere. I highly suggest go to them before you make matters worse for yourself. trust me I made some bad moves for myself because i was afraid. I really had no need to be. Thanks a lot for your help. Peace n love

Amazing specialist! Amazing staff!
Sadly I’ve had so much dental work done over the years that I’ve had too many bad experiences to count. I was sent to Dr. Halpren for a root canal gone south that was performed by another dentist. So I had to have the tooth retreated. This was probably my most pleasant experience at a dental office. I felt not an ounce of pain throughout the whole experience. I highly recommend this office.

I am looking forward to going to the Endodontist … said no one ever. But I have to tell you that I had a great at experience at Root 66 Endodontics. Dr. Halpern and his staff are excellent. Not only was my Oral Surgery not painful, I almost fell asleep during it. And have had great results. Thank you so much Dr. Halpern.

PATIENTS BEWARE!!! Our experience with this business was good until the ball was dropped by a staff member (Sandy), who attempted to put the responsibility on us, the customer. Everything else went downhill from there! My husband was referred to Root 66 by our primary dentist for a root canal. I was told by Lissette that Sandy or Jackie would give me a return call by a certain date regarding questions we had concerning billing. This date came and passed without a return call. I called the day after the expected call date, which was one day prior to my husbands scheduled appointment, and was told by Sandy that she had called on the agreed upon date. I informed her that neither my husband nor I received any messages from her, nor was there any record in our call logs with their office number. I asked her to provide a record of proof that she called. She stated that she could not provide such proof. I requested a change in our appointment date to allow for time to get our questions answered and was told by Sandy that we would incur a $ 100 failed appointment charge if we rescheduled our appointment. I informed her that if proof was provided that she made the call promised by Lissette, then we would accept responsibility, but until such time, we would not agree to paying any additional fees. She agreed to waive the fee. After reviewing the matter, my husband and I decided that we would not feel comfortable in doing further business with this dentist, called Sandy to inform her of this, and asked that Dr. Halpern return our call to discuss our concerns. Sandy was noncommital as to if and when Dr. Halpern would return our call. Needless to say, we have not spoken to Dr. Halpern. That says a lot about his policy on customer service. But guess what, a bill arrived in the mail today for «$ 100 Failed Appointment» fee. PATIENTS BEWARE!!!

Like many people, I was terrified of having a root canal. I had never had one before but I had had fillings. Fillings were always painful and scary so I was expecting this to be even worse. To my very pleasant surprise it was the exact opposite. The doctor and all the staff were very friendly and made sure I was comfortable from the moment I walked in the door. The office and waiting rooms were very well kept and had current magazines and a tv to keep your mind off the impending drilling. The procedure was amazing. The doctor made sure I was numbed up really good before getting started. I felt absolutely no pain during the whole process. They did a really good job of talking me through what they were doing and what my options were. After I was done, I paid at the front desk and they even gave me a little goodie bag with detailed instructions on how to care for my tooth. All around amazing experience. I wish all dental procedures were this nice… none of us would be scared of going to the dentist/​endodontist if everyone’s experiences were as nice as mine was. I got my root canal yesterday and I have already been recommending root 66 to my friends.

I highly recommend these folks if you need a root canal or oral surgeon. They are friendly, caring, and professional. They take the time that’s needed to address all concerns. The doctor really cares about his patient’s individual needs, especially pain management. The staff spends extra time dealing with the insurance red tape. All in all, they put the patients’ needs first. I’m a loyal, happy, and grateful patient/​customer.

I was in very severe pain as I had a root canal get reinfected. I was referred here, and they were able to get me in right away. I took anti-​biotics for a week and when I went in the work they did was quick and painless. They were only able to get halfway done, so I went back in today. Once again the work was pain free and very quick, but not rushed. Dr. Halpern is a true professional and very friendly. I love how the Dr and the assistants will let you know exactly what they’re doing and why they’re doing it. It helps to take away any fear you may have. Everyone on the staff seems to care about you and making the experience a good one. Recommended.

I went to Dr. Halpern after a doctor in my home town just gave me the creeps. The office was really nice and the procedure was quick (but not rushed) and painless. Or maybe it just seemed quick becuase i didn’t get to finish watching Cars before I was done. Overall I had a good expierence and, while i am hoping i don’t have to, I would go back.

I had the worse experience of my life at this business. Find another DDS, please. I would hate for you to have a similar experience. I’m a 46 year old professional. I was in severe pain. My dentist referred me to this place. The DDS wasn’t quite sure of where the pain was coming from. He decided it was a particular tooth and did a root canal. I went home, and I was in worse pain then before. The worse pain in my life.
I tried to get in right away but I had to wait about a week. Missing more work time. Long story short, He did another root canal, again not quite sure of which tooth. I am still having problems. I’m looking for another DDS and Enododonics.
On the bright side, the staff is bilingual and very good. The office is very nice. But the DDS is young timid and inexperienced. I’m sorry I ever went there.
