Apex Endodontics

I went for a root canal evaluation as recommended by my regular dentist (whom I love!). I was charged $ 505.00, out of pocket, for a less than 15 minute consult on my tooth to inform me I’m probably going to lose the tooth anyway.
When I went back to my regular dentist and shared this news and the cost my dentist was a little shocked at the price (as was I). Today, three months after service, I got another bill for $ 68.00. OH heck NO! You’re kidding me right? I’m not paying for their pretty little office in their pretty little building. :)
Like many others have said, they are most concerned about how much money they can get from you, but second to that is your comfort so I guess that’s something.

Amazing amazing amazing doctor Ike hardy! Didn’t feel a thing with my root canal and after the numbing wore off didn’t feel anything either! I recommend anybody coming here very nice office and nice people!!!’

Root canals aren’t especially fun and I’m not going to say that Apex makes them fun, but I have to give them credit that they do make them efficient and relatively painless. For the most part getting the first shot is the worst part… and that’s really not that bad (although the frozen cotton ball on the tooth that needs treatment will really get your attention… however, in fairness it’s one of the diagnostic tests that they have to do).

I was referred by my dentist to have 2 or 3 root canals done & I put it off for a month. I woke up with excruciating pain, called Apex and had an appointment for the next morning.
From the minute I walked in, everyone was very kind. I knew I had a chance of needing all 3 root canals done & was so grateful I could have it done that day. I took full advantage of the nitrous oxide & the 2 hour appointment was pain-​free. I was given pain meds and antibiotics & reassured if I needed anything, to call ²⁴⁄₇. I have an appointment in 2 weeks for the re treatment to be completed.
I received a call from the office the next day to check on how I was feeling. I appreciated their kindness every step of the way. I hope to never need another root canal, but if I do, I know where I’m going!

I would highly recommend Dr. Baker and his staff if you need Endo work. I just had my appointment with them yesterday and from the first phone call, his front office is very polite, professional and accommodating. The assistant was wonderful, very gentle, pleasant and made sure you were made as comfortable as possible. Dr. Baker has a very nice bed side manner, explaining what he is going to do and provides what to expect so you aren’t surprised.

I have only had one root canal before many many years ago. I had to have it redone due to it getting infected. My Dr was Ethan Baker. I also arrived for a consult and the front desk assumed I was just going to go through with the procedure. The evaluation seemed rushed but after I was sure, everything went great.
Nathan knows you cant talk yet he will tell stories and talk to keep you comfortable. That was a nice change from other Dr’s who are completely quiet. He also seems to say what he is doing next to keep you informed.
While the initial arrival was rocky, it all went well and ended well. I would go back.

If you need an Endodontist, Ike Hardy is the man. I had a failed root canal done by another Endodontist, Dr. Hardy agreed to re-​treat my tooth and the re-​treatment was a success! On top of this, Dr. Hardy is an awesome, caring, and knowledgeable person.

My dentist in Chandler sent me here. In fairness, I won’t be going back there, either. Both determined that I needed a root canal on a tooth with a dead nerve. Fine. Did it. everyone got their money (which, as a previous reviewer remarked, seems the paramount concern). A month later I noticed that tooth hurt — significantly enough that I felt I needed to go back. Thankfully, I only had a temporary crown on it but even still — that was a couple hundred dollars out of pocket. Dr. Hardy ‘tests’ my teeth and basically throws his hands up and says 1) leave it alone, take some steroids and antibiotics and ‘see if it goes away’ 2) redo all the work and put some medicine directly into the canal and see if it improves 3) pull tooth 4) surgery (not recommended). 5) Go to an Ear Nose Throat doctor and see if it is my sinuses. I just looked at him incredulously. He stared at me blankly. I said «I’m not the one who went to dental school.» Why does it hurt out of nowhere? Shouldn’t it not hurt at all? How can we NOT KNOW what is going wrong to the point where we’re going to play «Pin the Tooth on the Nerve Ending» three or four more times until we figure it out? I seriously can’t believe with all that equipment — with all their diplomas and training — everything is as much of a guessing game as it appears. Don’t waste your time or money. Dr. Hardy’s ‘gee whiz’ attitude almost made me burst into flames right there. I’ll find someone else. Thankfully there are several hundred to choose from in the greater Phoenix metro area. Do yourself a favor and avoid this one.

Fantastic place! Dr. Hardy is incredibly gentle and professional. I just had a root canal performed today and wanted to write about my positive experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better endodontist! They are the best!!!

I needed 2 root canals so my dentist recommended Apex Endodontics. I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Ike Hardy D.M.D. I was so pleased with how gentle and caring he is. He put me at ease and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way during 2 root canals. He arranged his scheduled to get me in quickly because I was in a lot of pain also. Dr. Hardy did a very good job and will go back to see him again because he is awesome!

As others have complained about billing issues, the same happened to me. Went in for treatment and after it was completed they billed me higher than needed. We were told no further money was needed for the follow-​up treatment. We also had a credit coming to us because they over-​billed. When the follow-​up treatment was done they threw in a charge that was totally unexpected. So what they did essentially was avoid giving the credit by billing us again for the follow-​up treatment. As others have stated, their priority is maximizing money and over-​billing people.

I had never had a root canal done and was extremely nervous! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but his place is amazing! From the second you walk in the door until the second you leave! The front staff are kind and welcoming and the office is very clean. Dr. Baker and his assistant Jen were so kind! The doctor actually looked me in the eyes while shaking my hand! He walked me through the steps as he was doing them, always checking that I was comfortble, even offering me juice and a blanket before we got started! The procedure was fast and I was encouraged to listen to Pandora on my iphone. This place has top of the line equipment and service! I will be referring family and friends for sure!

Good Experiences Overall. Unfortunately, I have had 3 root canals this year. Dr. Baker and his nurse were beyond accommodating and professional. Patience, courtesy, and expertise were all high quality.

I had a root canal done yesterday by Dr. Hardy. He was extremely professional. Also, I felt that he was very trustworthy. He explained to me in detail what I needed and why. We also looked at 2 other teeth that my dentist recommended me to get root canals and Dr. Hardy told me that he didn’t think it was necessary. I highly recommend them. I was also very impressed with Pam who assisted Dr. Hardy. She was very kind and concerned with how I was doing.

I found my dream dentist (if there is such a thing) … the problem is he only does root canals :(bye. Dr hardy and his assistant had the most polite, concerned, caring bedside manors of anyone i have ever met. they were quick yet efficient. They gave me a rx for motrin, said i would be sore for a few days… woke up the next day feeling better than i had in weeks. very little soreness. Im really bummed that i cant have these people as my regular dentist. This was my 3^rd root canal… and the only one done at apex. i wish i had discovered them sooner. Highly recomended.

I have had two root canals here, one a scheduled revision and one in an emergency. I must say the staff are incredibly understanding and helpful during this painful process. The doctors have great bedside manners and do amazing work. They helped save my tooth that was mangled by a dentist previously. I would recommend them to anyone and if I need another root canal I’ll be back.

Dr. DeBaker sent me here for an assessment, but they seemed more concerned about hitting me up for money to pay for a root canal BEFORE they even did the assessment to determine whether or not I should get a root canal in the first place. This is obviously a place of business where their first priority is maximizing the money they extract from each patient and NOT what is in the patient’s best interest!
Once I got in the dentist’s chair, the Dr. came in and convinced me that I needed another root canal. Wham, bam and 30 minutes later I was out of the chair and paying the bill… I only went here for an assessment! Anyways, I think the Doctor who worked on me did a great job, was very skilled and highly efficient, plus he got a second opinion from one of the other doctors… But, make no mistake, this practice is a money generating enterprise with little concern for their patient’s best interests. The receptionist reminds me of a mafia bill collector!

I was referred to Apex for a root canal on 1 tooth. When I got there, they recommended a retreatment on a different tooth that had broken off. At the time, Dr. Nathan Baker stated, «If your dentist cannot save this tooth, let us know & we will credit your account for this retreatment». So, I, trusting the Dr., agreed! Well, when I went back to my dentist, they were not able to save that tooth. When we contacted Apex Endodontics & explained the situation, they said a «credit» check would be issued. When I received the check in the mail, I was more than shocked to see that it was for $ 32.00!!! They had billed me for $ 999.00 for the retreatment on a tooth that my dentist did not even refer me for!!! I am shocked at this!!! How can Apex Endodontics hold their heads up & expect to get respect when they deceive their client like this???

Had a root canal done here today. I can sum it up in 3 words: Hi-​Tech, Professional, and Friendly. This was my 2^nd root canal (1^st here) and i was expecting a much worse experience that I had. Front desk, doctor, and staff were all excellent. Would definitely recommend this place!
