Andrew S Barak, DMD

Dr. Barak did a fine job with my root canal. I was pained over the weekend & was seen first thing this morning. Dr. Barak, his assistant, & Melanie did a great job in providing patient care.

Worked in Dentistry for over 10 years. I remember Dr. Sharples we would refer patients there all the time. Dr. Cary Syamken was at this same location. I visited Dr. Cary Syamken for a molar root canal and the procedure was quick and painless. They used good technique and both the doctor and the staff were extremely helpful. My appointment was right after lunch. I watched a little tv in the chair the doctor took his time and I appreciate that. Anytime you can afford to visit a Dentist that specializes in Endo you should they may run behind but this is normal. The last thing you want is for your Endodontists to rush your treatment. The only other alternative is to have the tooth pulled. With that I hope I don’t need another root canal anytime soon.

If you’ve never had a root canal before there’s a lot of mental preparation that goes into having this procedure and to show up to my appointment and have to wait a half an hour after my scheduled appointment is unacceptable. I understand sometimes doctors run behind and this isn’t necessarily a review about the doctors mannerisms or his level of service. This review is strictly about the front desk customer service. I had an appt today at 3:30. When I checked in the girl at the front desk told me the doctor was running A FEW MINUTES behind. Ok. No big deal. After 25+ minutes I’d say that’s more than a few mins.
If I could give negative stars I definitely would.
Not once did the front desk girl acknowledge the fact that I had been waiting more than a few minutes. Nor did she offer any water or anything while I was waiting. She didn’t, in my humble opinion exercise any type of customer service by getting a better estimation of how long the doctor was running behind so that I could properly adjust my schedule. I took the day off of work for this appointment and to be treated like it’s not a big deal is just really bad service and off putting to say the least. They definitely did their diligence in making sure the insurance was still effective but had no qualms about disregarding the effort I put in to respecting this doctors time. Working in the customer service field as well as the medical field, I would have at least expected the front desk person to be apologetic and considerate of my time by offering me to reschedule or just let me know an expected wait time. She just sat on her behind probably updating her Facebook status.
I wasn’t impressed with their customer service when I went in for my initial appointment but decided to go through with having them finish the treatment. What a waste of time.
As I said, this review isn’t about the doctors service or mannerisms. But it sure will reflect on his office as a whole. The front desk person needs to be trained in customer service. She sucks. I ended up cancelling my appointment and scheduling some place else.

I had my first root canal done here and it went really smoothly. All the staff were extremely polite and friendly. They answered all of my questions and the procedure was fairly painless. I would definitely go to them should i ever need this procedure again. Dr. Barak took very good care of me and his assistant was very friendly and gentle. Highly recommend them if you need to have a root canal.

I’m normally terrified of any dental procedures. This office was very modern, and the staff was friendly. Doctor Barak was pleasant and efficient. The chairs were comfortable, and nice flat screen tv to watch while they’re drilling away. I had some questions after I woke up from a nap at home. Called the office they were closed, but the voice message provided the doctors phone number. I texted him (jaw was a too sore to talk) and he got back to me right away! It was nice to have him go above and beyond after hours. Hopefully I won’t need to go back… but if I do, I’ll be comfortable in going.

Everyone had a very bad attitude especially the women at front desk! Not welcoming or friendly at all

Pleased to say he wasn’t after my money like my last independent dentist. He figured out my problem and addressed it. Front desk was kind as well as helpful. I’d most definitely return.

My 12 year old daughter was terrified of her impending root canal. We entered the dental office to find a very clean office, and were greeted by a sweet, helpful receptionist. After a very short wait, we met with Dr. Barak and his assistant. Dr. Barak was able to calm my daughter, and within minutes began the procedure, which was nearly painless. We were very impressed with the team work, efficiency, and caring attitudes amongst the staff. I would recommend them 110%.

I came in to Dr Barak’s office for a root canal and it was a very pleasant experience. I actually saw his associate, Dr Cary Syamken, and he was professional, knowledgable and made the root canal as painless as possible. Eveyrthing is top notch from the minute you walk in.

OMG I’m still horrified from my experience! To begin, I was referred by my dentist for a root canal, trying to salvage a 2^nd molar which I stated needed to be extracted. I have extreme anxiety with dentists, so I had already taken 3 Ativans. Everything was going ok until the dentist attempted to put some sort of clamp on the tooth. All bad!!! He clamped on my gums which I later found out cut down to the bone! On top of that, he referred me back to my dentist stating he was unable to complete the root canal because the tooth had decayed past the bone… extraction like I stated before. So instead, he packed the tooth with this hard temporary stuff which was scratchy, not smooth at all. My entire right jaw was completely inflamed. After the numbing went down, I couldn’t eat anything solid. The plan was set to extract the tooth two days later.
Would I come back here for a possible root canal? Heck no!!! I couldn’t believe how rough he handled me while trying to get the clamp on??? The medical asst even helped me calm down as I cried hysterically. Never again :(
