Pennsylvania Endodontic Specialists

Due to a regrettable inheritance of inferior tooth genes, I find myself constantly seeing dentists/​orthodontists. So, I feel like I know a good one when I find one. I was up for a root canal (crown to be performed by a dentist) and scheduled with Dr. Ufberg and am so happy I did. I read the 1-​star review in this Unilocal listing and have a hard time understanding how we could have had such different experiences. First of all, he appeared to me to be a genuinely kind and lovable person. Second, the experience was exactly the right amount of time. As Alexei Alexandrovich said in Anna Karenina, «no haste, no rest». Third, although I can’t tell the difference between a «good» root canal and a «bad» one, my dentist can. Unprovoked, she commented while looking at the x-​ray that it was a great job. The crown turned out well too, lucky me!
All in all, I have no hesitations recommending Dr. Lawrence Ufberg to those who, like me, have a regrettable inheritance of inferior tooth genes.

Dr. Ufberg redefined «root canal» in my mind. Of course, we all have fear in our eyes the moment a root canal or any oral surgery is mentioned, but truly, Dr. Ufberg and the entire PA Endo office for that matter, made my experience not only bearable, but actually pleasant. I’m so glad I picked this practice and would highly recommend it to anyone in need of the dreaded root canal.

Is having a root canal the way that I envisioned spending the «perfect day»? Certainly not, that would definitely involve beaches and pina coladas. Still despite the fact that I am a self-​described «anti-​dentite’, Pennsylvania Endodontic Specialists made my root canal procedure a fast and painless endeavor. The office was easy to find, making an appointment was uncomplicated, the office staff was friendly, and my doctor (Dr. Ufberg) was very easy to relate to and great with his hands. I left the office with a huge sense of relief and have remained totaly pain-​free since that time. Getting a root canal is definitely not a day at the beach, but if I need more work done in the future I would without a doubt return here.

I had a root canal procedure at this dental office under the care of Dr. Lawrence Ufberg. He was extremely unprofessional and I was left with a sore mouth, most of my tooth missing and extremely annoyed.
First of all, upon consultation, he gave me the choice of a root canal or pulling the tooth, which would be «faster,» he said.
My appointment was for a Friday afternoon and apparently Dr. Ufberg was planning to go on vacation immediately after work and seemed genuinely annoyed that my appointment was right before his vacation and kept mentioning how annoyed he was. The entire visit took 4 hours and the care given to my tooth was minimal, and much of that tooth is missing, unlike root canals I had by other endodontists.
During my procedure, he cursed– not mild curses– when complaining about other patients to his dental assistant as if I wasn’t sitting right there in his chair. Then, when he was finished with me, he exclaimed in an annoyed voice «Well, you really made me work for my money today!» but not in a laughing, it’s a joke kind of way.
I do not believe this is any way to act to a patient who is in your care and giving you a sizable amount of money, too!
