Bachman Timothy A, DMD

Dr. Bachman performed my root canal years ago when he practiced in MO. Odd how this Dr. seems to move around a lot and is no longer licensed in MO. I know this is the same dentist, as I have done my research. Horrible experience. Not only did I end up in the emergency room (which was due to Bachman placing hot bubbling gutta percha into my mouth to seal off the root canal.) I breathed in the hot smoke from the gutta percha into my lungs which caused SEVERE BRONCHIAL IMFLAMATION for months and months. To this day, I still have sensitivity in my left bronchia from his carelessness. I had to see a pulmonary specialist after the botched procedure. I was diagnosed with a chemical burn in my bronchia. And guess what? Years later I lost the tooth that he did the root canal on. The tooth became brittle and broke under the gumline. It had to be extracted. He probably didn’t pack the tooth correctly. I’m writing this as I’m sitting here in pain, as the imflamation in my left bronchia has acted up yet AGAIN. My advice would be to run from this «Dr.»

I saw Dr. Carina Lea and she was FABULOUS! She did my root canal and it went amazingly smooth and little soreness afterwards. My dentist did a root canal on a different tooth and you can certainly tell who specializes in the procedure. Very pleased (considering I was very NOT pleased to hear I needed another root canal procedure!)
Highly recommended!

I found Dr. Bachman because the only Endodontist (sp?) that takes Metlife in Kitsap County sounded like a nightmare and I decided it was best to look in Seattle. It was well worth the long trip over to Fremont. His office feels like being in a spa, his staff is friendly and competent, and most importantly he performed a root canal on me that was basically as pleasant as those things can be. Also, his office is literally at the intersection of 34^th and Fremont which is where many buses stop. It was really easy to get to from the Seattle Ferry.

I went to Dr Bachman for a root canal and I’m not sure I could have had a better experience. I hate going to the dentist (thus the needed root canal) and was dreading this course of action! However as soon as I walked in the door I was welcomed an office that is modern, clean and encouraging. Dr Bachman was straight forward and confident. During the procedure I was giving some noise canceling bose headphones and with the help of my ipod turned to 11 I didn’t hear much. I never felt a THING and yes during a root canal I just about fell asleep a few times. The staff was great and very knowledgeable plus they were all pretty cute and that never hurts. So if you are in the market for an endodontist I would recommend going to see Tim Bachman.
